I mean, it's still fundamentally the same experience, but it's amazing how much of a difference this display makes to these kinds of vibrant, colourful games. But now, thanks to that OLED display, it pops and sizzles with colour and detail that I never noticed before. For almost 80 hours I'd been seeing Sandy Cove (that's my town, it's lovely) on the Lite's wee, murky 5.5-inch screen. You are never leaving the drawer I put you in.Īnimal Crossing: New Horizons is where the difference really hit me. But these are mild inconveniences, because in every respect this new console makes my beloved Lite feel like a baby toy. (Side note: the OLED is slightly heftier than the original Switch too, which weighs 297g.) I also have to lower the brightness quite a bit if I'm playing in a dark or dimly lit room, otherwise those glaring OLED whites melt my eyeballs. The Lite weighs just 277g, compared to the OLED's 320g, which makes it feel a lot heavier.

The brightness! The extra screen real estate! Last time I felt like this was when I realised far too late that I needed glasses, got some from the opticians, and was stunned to discover that I'd been walking around in a blur for years.
Going from the 5.5-inch LCD display on the Lite to the 7-inch OLED display on the new console is more than a significant upgrade-it's night and day. But as the name suggests, the new display is the real star here. The Switch OLED has a lot of minor improvements over the standard console, including a sturdier kickstand and a generally more premium feel. But the lure of that new display, and finally seeing Breath of the Wild on my TV, was just too much to resist. I've been playing it regularly for two years now, and have enjoyed hundreds of hours of Zelda, Mario, and Animal Crossing on it. With 92.8 million hardware sales worldwide, the Switch is on track to beat the Wii as the company's best-selling console-a goal I've personally contributed to by recently upgrading from a Switch Lite to the OLED model.
In October last year, Nintendo launched the Switch OLED, a fancy new version of its wildly popular semi-handheld console.
