Yay... snore. Not exactly the PRO Switch that was mooted. It's great for those that still want to get a Switch, but it's not enough of an upgrade for the majority of Switch owners, I'm sure. OLED is luvverly though.

I kinda get the feeling Ninty got sick of all the questions, and went "well fuck it.. if we can't boost it, let's at least give them what we HAVE got.." and flung it out with "OLED" branding and no more.
Bit of a shame, really..

Will I be getting one?
Not sure, now.
I WAS considering buying a second switch. Once Super Monkey Balls comes out in October (the same week as this, no less) I just know I'll be losing it to Mum!!!

But is it worth the price just for the OLED screen??!

I might just buy a second "normal" switch, instead.

Wow, what a waste... So an OLED slightly larger screen and that's it!?;? Why bother!?;?

My Switch is 100% of the time docked to the TV, so I'll won't be switching to the version.

I use mine in handheld all the time. It's rarely ever in the dock.
.. but .. that's like, half an inch...!?
I can only think of one single scenario where having half an inch added on would be an amazing thing.

I've only used my Switch in the dock twice (if that!); handheld all the way for me.

The extra screen real-estate really won't make much of a difference, so yeah, other than gorgeous OLED a pretty pointless update.

While booting up my Switch, I saw this out of the corner of my eye in the News feed, and just for a second, I thought it was an OUYA

A friend pointed out how the Switch OLED model sort of resembles a penguin tuxedo.
