Nintendo Switch OLED: Key Features

• A totally new Switch screen

  At times, gaming on the Switch has felt a little cramped due to the restricted screen size. But the Nintendo Switch OLED resolves that situation, extending the screen from 6.2-inches to 7-inches. It’s an OLED screen as well, which means that the colours will really pop out as never before. The resolution is the same, but you’ll feel a greater sense of freedom to explore and races, battles and quests will look so much more satisfying.

• An updated kickstand design

  The original Switch came with a stand to enable propped up gameplay and streaming, but that didn’t always work perfectly and felt a little flimsy. Nintendo has realised this and ensured that the kickstand on the Nintendo Switch OLED is much improved. You can adjust the angle however you desire, to make tabletop mode more enjoyable. That’s a big bonus for those who intend to play with friends or children.

• A dock redesign

  Slightly less revolutionary but still important, Nintendo has also redesigned the ports on the Nintendo Switch OLED. You’ll still find two USB ports and an HDMI port to connect the console to televisions. But there’s now also a LAN port which should enable players to connect multiple Switch consoles more reliably. And it’s also a bonus when gaming on the TV, keeping glitches and lag to a minimum.

• More storage space

  Previously, most Nintendo Switch consoles had a limit of 32GB internal storage. That could sometimes lead to frustration when building games collections, managing saved games and media files. But the updated model should provide a solution, as it ships with 64GB internal storage – a big upgrade that will eventually prove very useful if you’re a heavy gamer. And as with older Switches, MicroSD compatibility is assured.

• Enhanced audio

  The new Nintendo Switch OLED also sounds noticeably better than older Switch varieties. That’s because Nintendo’s engineers have looked at the onboard speakers and given them a full enhancement. Expect Mario Kart races and Super Smash Brothers battles to be more immersive than ever before.

• Complete compatibility with earlier games

  If you’ve already amassed a Switch library, don’t worry about upgrading to a Nintendo Switch OLED. Your old games will work just fine on the updated console, and most will look and sound significantly better.
