Nintendo Switch OLED vs Nintendo Switch: How to choose (ZDNet)

Considering a vibrant portable console like the Nintendo Switch OLED or a tried and true one like the original Nintendo Switch? We'll break down the specs ...

You can use the same Joy-Con controllers on both versions, as both the original Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED use the same rail system to attach or detach them. Admittedly, the Nintendo Switch OLED is an iteration that didn't live up to the hype. Though the past three years have been riddled with rumors of a more powerful 2.0 or "Pro" version, Nintendo is staying mum on the matter, but continuing forth with sales of its Switch consoles. [PSP](https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Portable-Handheld-Gaming-Console-System/dp/B06XSLQ5K3/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13B58DSYNVLC4&keywords=psp&qid=1662484851&sprefix=psp%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-2&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20) failed to do: it made a durable, visually attractive handheld console with great portability plus the ability to dock it and use it on your television. Performance and power both remain the same on both the standard Switch and the OLED Switch; neither RAM, battery life, or processor were improved from one model to the next. And, unfortunately, Nintendo has yet to incorporate 4K resolution into the Switch -- both models only reach up to 1080p in TV mode and 720p on the handheld screen. Since 2017, the Nintendo Switch has remained steady in popularity, with normal highs and lows around the pandemic or a big game release. Yet, it holds up surprisingly well: anecdotally, my Switch has held up to years of my toddlers and preschoolers playing Animal Crossing or [Mario Party](https://www.amazon.com/Mario-Party-Superstars-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B097BP1ZZ2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QLWM4A3FJ50U&keywords=mario+party&qid=1662484802&sprefix=mario+party%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20) on it, with no signs of slowing down or falling apart. [Nintendo DS](https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Console-Handheld-System-Refurbished/dp/B01MPYRE0O/ref=sr_1_3?crid=380JPHFX1EDEI&keywords=nintendo+ds&qid=1662484708&sprefix=nintendo+ds%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-3&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20) or the [GameBoy](https://www.amazon.com/Game-Boy-Color-Teal-Renewed/dp/B07KPLYRNW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=21B4Z47KIU0LB&keywords=gameboy&qid=1662484738&sprefix=gaeboy%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-5&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20), but the larger screen and ability to connect it to your TV make it next level. With the key differences between the two models being the OLED screen and the internal storage, it's now time to determine how you'll be using your Switch. [Nintendo](https://www.nintendo.com/) has been a household name in the growth of the current generation and, if sales alone are any indication, it continues to own one of the top spots in the heart of the gaming community. [Switch console](https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Neon-Blue-Joy%E2%80%91/dp/B07VGRJDFY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=36KA74V00Y2JV&keywords=nintendo+switch&qid=1662484108&sprefix=nintendo+switch%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNkxTUktQMEs0SE8yJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTQzMDQxMkRBNlVGRkNQSUpKVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzUxNjU1MVM2Wk1PNk8xRDZaSSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=&tag=zdnet-buy-button-20) was pretty close to a stroke of genius.

This was announced with a price of US$359.99 (~RM1619). [Pokemon Scarlet and Violet](https://www.lowyat.net/2022/275244/pokemon-scarlet-violet-18-november/), this is the Nintendo Switch. Or more specifically, orange and purple, to fit the Naranja and Uva (orange and grape in Spanish, respectively) Academies, the names of the school the player attends in each version of the game. The dock that comes with this Nintendo Switch OLED though, is really the best part of the special edition. There are plenty of prints depicting the three starters, the two school badges and other things like Poke Balls plastered all around, again in the two colours of the game. In terms of colours, the Joy-Cons of this Nintendo Switch OLED are, let’s say faithful, to the name of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Nintendo has introduced orange and grape-flavored OLED Switch for the next Pokémon game. The SWOLE will be available for purchase from November 4.

It also piques interest, considering that the Paldea region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is based in Spain, a European country currently struggling with independence movements. It will require players to dwell deeper into the lairs of Pokémon titans, a concept similar to that of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where players had to hunt for Pokémon alphas.

Genshin Impact players question devs over “forgotten” Switch release (Dexerto)

The Genshin Impact Switch release still remains quiet and players have questioned HoYoverse over the lack of news regarding its development.

Quite how long it will take to release Genshin on the portable console remains to be seen, but hopefully, we’ll hear more info the in months to come. “They started working on the PS4 port a year before Genshin’s launch with zero prior experience in it, and it took them a whole three years of optimizing the game before it can reach a stable 30fps,” explained one commenter. However, due to the lack of official news, Travelers have begun to believe that the Genshin Impact Switch launch has been “forgotten” by the developers. Commenters were keen to ridicule the “coming soon” quote, which was highlighted at the end of the trailer. So far, the thread has garnered a whopping 11.7k upvotes and sparked hundreds of comments from the community.
