Nintendo Switch OLED vs Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle

Buy the Switch 2 bundle if you want the current generation: a 7.9-inch HDR screen, 4K output when docked, 256GB of storage and Mario Kart World included. Buy the OLED if you mainly play handheld, want the best screen Nintendo has shipped on a Switch, and care more about a proven library than future-proofing. Reviewers and owners rate the OLED highly for its display and build; the Switch 2 scores slightly lower on ratings but wins on performance and storage.

  • Choose the Switch OLED if you play mostly in handheld mode and want a vivid OLED screen with a large, mature game library.
  • Choose the Switch 2 bundle if you want 4K TV play, more storage and a packed-in Mario Kart game.

Questions and answers

Which is better for handheld play?
The OLED wins on picture quality in handheld mode thanks to its OLED panel. The Switch 2 has a bigger 7.9-inch screen with HDR and 120 fps support, but it is LCD.
Which has better TV play?
The Switch 2. It outputs up to 4K on a compatible TV, while the OLED tops out at 1080p when docked.
Do I need to rebuy my Switch games?
No. The Switch 2 plays physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, so most of your library carries over.
Which lasts longer?
The Switch 2 is the newer platform and will get new games for years. The OLED is a late revision of the original Switch, so its run of new releases is shorter.
Is the Switch 2 worth stepping up to?
If you play on a 4K TV, want more storage or plan to buy new Nintendo games, yes. If you mostly play handheld and already own a Switch library, the OLED covers that well.
Which is better for families?
The Switch 2 bundle includes Mario Kart World, which suits group play out of the box. The OLED needs a game bought separately.
