Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle vs Nintendo Switch OLED Model

The Switch 2 bundle is the better buy for most people deciding between these two. It is a full generation newer: a 7.9-inch 1080p HDR screen at up to 120 fps, 4K output on a compatible TV, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, magnetic Joy-Con 2 with a mouse sensor, and Mario Kart World packed in. The OLED model still wins on one thing: its OLED panel gives deeper blacks and richer contrast than the Switch 2's LCD, and it is the cheaper way into the Switch library with a huge, proven game catalog. Owners rate the OLED highly over thousands of reviews; the Switch 2 bundle has far fewer ratings so far but they are strong.

  • Choose the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle if you want the newest hardware, 4K TV play, a bigger and sharper screen, and a packed-in game to start with.
  • Choose the Switch OLED if screen contrast matters most to you, you mainly play in handheld mode, and you want the mature Switch library at the lowest entry point.

What reviewers say

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle

  • 5 / 510 ratings

Owners praise the screen, the magnetic Joy-Cons and having Mario Kart World packed in. The common reservations are size, weight and the move to LCD after the OLED model.

What people mention
  • ScreenPraisedOwners call the 7.9-inch 1080p HDR display a clear upgrade over the original Switch.
  • Joy-Con magnetsPraisedThe magnetic Joy-Con 2 are described as snapping on firmly with no wobble.
  • Size and weightCriticisedSome find the console bulky and heavy to hold for long handheld sessions.
  • LCD panelMixedReviewers note the LCD looks good but lacks the contrast of the Switch OLED.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model

  • 4.5 / 53,018 ratings

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 3,018 ratings. Owners largely treat it as the Switch to buy for handheld play, praising the screen and stand while noting it is not faster than older models.

What people mention
  • ScreenPraisedOwners say the OLED panel is noticeably brighter and more vivid than the LCD on older Switch models.
  • PerformanceCriticisedReviewers note the internals are unchanged, so games run at the same frame rates as the 2017 model.
  • StandPraisedThe wide adjustable stand is called a real fix for tabletop mode, which was flimsy before.
  • PriceMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for handheld play?
The OLED wins on picture quality in handheld thanks to its OLED panel. The Switch 2 wins on size, resolution and smoothness with its 1080p 120 fps screen. If contrast matters most, take the OLED; if sharpness and frame rate do, take the Switch 2.
Which is better on a TV?
The Switch 2. It outputs up to 4K on compatible TVs and games, while the OLED tops out at 1080p. Both docks include a wired LAN port.
Which lasts longer?
The Switch 2 has more headroom for future games with 12 GB of RAM and a newer chip, so it should stay current longer. The OLED is a mature system near the end of its cycle.
Is the Switch 2 worth stepping up to from the OLED?
Yes if you want 4K TV play, 120 fps, more storage and new exclusives like Mario Kart World. Stay on the OLED if you mostly play handheld and value OLED contrast over raw power.
Can the OLED play the same games?
It plays the huge Switch library, and most Switch games run on the Switch 2 too. Switch 2 exclusives like Mario Kart World do not run on the OLED.
Do I need a microSD card for either?
The OLED's 64 GB fills quickly with big games, so a microSD card is close to essential. The Switch 2's 256 GB goes further, and it takes the newer microSD Express cards.
