What reviewers say

Nintendo Switch

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from about 18,000 ratings. Owners praise the dock-and-go flexibility and the included games, and most complaints center on Joy-Con reliability and the modest screen and storage.

Pros
  • Switching between TV and handheld is quick and simple
  • Strong lineup of family and party games
  • Joy-Con work well for impromptu two-player sessions
  • Bundle games add immediate value
Cons
  • Joy-Con sticks can drift over time
  • Screen is small and not very bright outdoors
  • Storage runs out fast with downloads
  • Handheld weight and size tire the hands in long sessions

Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart

Owners of the OLED model generally praise the screen and stand, and the Mario Kart bundle is seen as good value for a first Switch. Complaints center on Joy-Con drift and the modest performance jump over the original.

Pros
  • Vivid, bright OLED display
  • Sturdy wide stand for tabletop play
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a strong pack-in
  • Easy setup for two players
Cons
  • Joy-Con drift over time
  • Little performance gain over the original Switch
  • No 4K docked output

Questions and answers

Is the OLED screen worth the extra $65?
If you play in handheld mode often, yes. The 7-inch OLED gives noticeably better contrast and color than the 6.2-inch LCD. If the console mostly sits in the dock, the screen difference does not matter.
Which is better for playing on a TV?
Both output up to 1080p over HDMI and neither does 4K. The OLED model's dock adds a wired LAN port, which gives a steadier connection for online play.
Which bundle includes more games?
The standard Switch listing here includes Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The OLED bundle includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe plus 12 months of Switch Online, which adds online play and the NES and SNES libraries.
Do both have the same storage and controllers?
Yes. Both have 64 GB internal storage, expandable by microSD, and ship with two Joy-Con. The OLED model's Joy-Con are white in this bundle.
Which lasts longer?
Battery life is similar between the two, roughly 4.5 to 9 hours depending on the game. The OLED model's screen is more efficient, so handheld play can run slightly longer in practice.
Is the standard Switch still a good buy in 2026?
Yes if price matters most and you play docked. It runs the same game library as the OLED model. You give up the better screen, kickstand and LAN dock.
