The Nintendo Switch 2 is here and the Nintendo Switch OLED is getting cheaper than ever. With the new device improving performance, upping resolutions and refresh rates, and adding new features like mouse controls and GameChat, you'll be dropping a lot of extras if you opt for the older device in 2025.
However, there are some benefits to consider. That OLED display doesn't just improve color contrast, it also contributes to a much larger battery life, plus the age of Ninty's predecessor means it's considerably cheaper than the 2025 release. The improvements in the Switch 2 make it the superior handheld overall, but if you're looking to spend as little as possible while still enjoying Nintendo's original catalog, the OLED does still have its moments. It's been one of the best gaming handhelds for the last couple of years for a reason, after all.
