YOU should BUY a Switch in 2023 | Ignore the Rumors

Might be a switch lite OLED

Not about better graphics but gameplay and Nintendo killing it.

The only thing that sucks is we’re gonna get Switches for Christmas and the Switch 2 is just gonna come out in 2024.

People are gonna be playing their switch consoles for the next 10years at least,no matter when a new one comes along,
Look at the ps vita,it only sold around 15million units worldwide,yet still today people still love and play the vita over 10years after its release,despite it's infamously awful support from Sony on release,
They still command good prices,I sold one last week on ebay,I had 3 oled models,now 2 and it sold within 5hours for its buy now price of £130uk pounds.
The switch has sold over 130 million units.
It isn't going anywhere even when we get the switch 2.

Bro this console is very overrated , i mean i can understand people who love Mario games would put 300 bucks for it but for people who get this console to play fortnight or any other games than Mario games , they are just waisting money , the xbox series s for the same price gives you a huge quality gaming interm of graphics and fps compared to the switch. So i think that the switch is a pure marketing product and i think that people love it because either they love mario games or they got a nintendo in their childhood and they feel nostalgic. I mean. This console struggles to run bathman archam 😅 a game released before the nintendo switch by years .

I did ❤ and the zelda edition

Bought the totk oled and havent regretted it for a minute💪🔥

I bought a switch oled zelda Tears of the kingdom today its showing its age now CPU/GPU eise but its a really fun game which is often the narrative for nintendo exclusives the new marios seem like fun too the RPG and Wonder. I hope this system lasts until fall 2024 maybe a pre christmas release next year woulf be great, at least id get a year out of this.

You need to sleep

What’s with the mic lol 😂

i got a switch oled accouple days ago and i am not impressed i mainly wanted it to play Mario cart and super smash but after using it for a day or 2 i always put it down after less than a hour of playing not a fan of the joycons the screen looks alright but not great for something that cost close to $400 its still 720p and coming from a pc it looks pixeled and grainy the input lag and loading times are pretty crazy and i know my internet is not a problem if you care for Zelda and all the Nintendo titles and having something portable then yeah it will prob be worth it for you but for now i will be returning it

I don’t have a switch and I’m wondering if I should get the Mario kart bundle and buy smash bros(want both games for solo and play with friends) or pick up the oled bundle (super smash bros bundle) and get Mario kart and pay more?

I would bet that a new system from Nintendo is announced in spring or summer of 2024, and released in fall 2024. That said, I bought a Switch oled for the first time a few weeks ago and im loving some of the exclusive titles. While I am not a fan of the formula of the new Zelda's have taken, Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, Metroid, and Hyrule Warriors have kept me busy.

because games demand more and more GPU power, and the Nintendo Switch can't keep up with more, it limited what 720p can run eventually

I'm a very new Zelda fan and I bought the TOTK OLED Switch a month ago and I have loved it so much since I had to retire my OG Switch due to a lot of hardware issues I didn't have the money or experience to fix which I poured hundreds to even thousands of hours into I'm honestly hoping that the next console comes out later so I can enjoy my games on my new Switch for about a year or two

I had mine only this setember, im amazed, great console

Even if i agree with most of what you said ! i have to disagree on the "performance" bit. Prior to the Wii, Nintendo hardware were powerful and quite unmatched. Now, what i'd love them to do is to bring back some iconic franchises such as Castlevania, Contra, Metal gear solid, Starfox. Please !

I just bought the tears of the kingdom switch new for 300 bucks including tax. Upgrading from a busted switch lite. It’s a helluva step up for me

You look sleepy

I just bought worth $242 of bnew ns oled. but still waiting to be delivered 😅

Mario kart 9 can sell the new console like the switch got but i am buying my first switch this year maybe next month

Even though the Switch has pretty good exclusives, I enjoy the most playing ports. Enjoying Skyrim on the go.

I’m looking for portable console but I don’t like Nintendo Mario or Zelda. I used to like Zelda back in the late 80’s but know I like games like Division 2 or Remnant 2. Can you play these games on a hand held OLED?

Switch os completely worth it because there are too many new games coming and i don't thing nintendo gonna release a new console. Because switch is just started to get better games like fc 24 and many more

Just bought my zelda Switch, and if there rumours are true i would also buy it lol. Limited Switch are never a waste especially the zelda oled❤

I have a question if I get a switch now and they release a new console will they stop making games for the old switch like what happens with Playstation and X box

The gamers will buy when Smash Switcheroo Two: Electric Boogaloo

I think Nintendo recently mentioned on a financial call that there's no plans to announce anything related to any new hardware until early 2024 the earliest.


I bought a switch like 2 or 3 months ago, and I've literally been playing it nonstop. Never too late to jump in

Really enjoyed this content big dawg 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾💯i have the switch oled and talk about fun

I'm pretty sure a new switch is coming this year. I mean a new edition. Probably Super Mario Wonder or Super Mario RPG edition.

Reminds me of that one scene from Toy Story.
“If you don’t have one, GET ONE.”

Another potential reason to hold out is a price cut, given that Nintendo recently talked about the Switch hitting market saturation that's one trick they have up their sleeve I could see them pulling this holiday season to try and pull in the remaining people who are interested in the Switch but don't feel the price is worth it

Dev kits don't just go out 6 months before a console launches, people think were still on snes or something.

Go ahead and find out that the the switch OLED is just an switch OLED there’s no differences there nothing new unless they come out with a new switch 2 or a new Console
we just don’t know right now

My Switch Lite History

10-3-2022
Bought a turquoise for $90. 

5-3-2023
Sold for $110.

7-6-2023
Bought a coral for $70.

7-8-2023
Sold for $120.

7-8-2023
Bought another turquoise for $100.

All three were bought from OfferUp. Third time is definitely the charm.

The only reason I sold my first one was the left analog stick no longer could turn right after 7 months. Then I sold the coral (pink) one after only 2 days because I didn't like the color and wanted turquoise back. I only got the coral because the seller was willing to accept my $70 offer.

I net profited $70 on my two previous Lites. So I really only spent $30 on my third Lite. All three looked brand new but this current one I have definitely feels the most new. Has this anti-glare, smudge-resistant screen protector that makes the display look clear all the time.

Get Switch Lites on OfferUp if you're living in America. They go for $100 or less a lot. Prices will eventually go up. The 3DS is weaker hardware and goes for $150-$200 minimum. Same with the Vita. But I don't plan to ever sell my current Lite.

I can't stand the weight and width of the regular Switch and OLED. And I don't own a TV any way. I haven't gamed on a TV since 2019 with my PS4 slim. Now to prevent having my sticks wearing out fast like my first one, I pair my SN30 Pro and will try to do that at least 90% of the time.

If the analog sticks do break, I'll get them replaced with hall effect sensors. The GuliKit ones go for $25 from Amazon. I'll be more cautious this time knowing drift is a widespread problem. But I may get so used to using the SN30 Pro for the Lite, it may not matter any more.

Still waiting for my case which can create a kickstand so I can play Switch Lite in tabletop. I was worried with input lag but my SN30 Pro which I bought 2 years ago that looks like the SNES controller (same colors) works like a dream and I get rumble which the Lite can't do.

Stupid me. I didn't know how to pair my Bluetooth controller to my Switch Lite until last night! I could've prevented having the first one go out like that. Lesson learned. This now makes me open to the idea of getting a Steam Deck mainly because I'll likely play it with a BT controller most of the time and won't mind the large size.

I can do the same for the Switch OLED which offers longer battery life but I just prefer the rounded sides of the Lite. The regular and OLED are slightly more angular. And what if the SN30 Pro battery needs to charge or I lose it? I'd rather use the Lite over the OLED. It's 150g lighter. 

Paying $100 or less for the Lite instead of double to triple for the OLED is beneficial. I don't get why people diss the Lite so much? It's my absolute favorite form factor of the Switch and it's also the cheapest entry into the Switch library. It's like the iPhone SE and mini of the Switch.

I also own a modded PS Vita 2K for over 6 years and I love it. I love it more than my Switch Lite. It's my favorite handheld ever. I'm more of a PlayStation guy than Nintendo guy. Just added the nude patch for Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus and I'm having a blast! It's a great lesbian dating sim! 😂

I'll be getting a Steam Deck but I'll wait if I can find the 64 GB one for $200 on OfferUp. Maybe $250 will be the max I'll spend on it. My Vita 2K and Switch Lite were bought second-hand and I want to spend as little as possible on anything gaming-related. I'm talking over half the retail price for them. 

I'll buy most smartphones brand new, but with handhelds, I don't mind used as long as the condition is fantastic. And you can find a lot in pristine condition since most of these OfferUp sellers are in their 30s and 40s and no longer have time to game. Or perhaps their children don't use them any more. 

They're just video games! Why spend a fortune? Some get hacked and you don't have to spend another cent for a game. My Vita was used and I got it for $100 off Craigslist. Battery health is still over 90% after 6 years. Although I didn't really use it much. I've been using it a lot more this year since modding it last January.

The ROG Ally with Z1 Extreme is much more powerful than the Steam Deck but I frankly hate Asus and Windows. I've only had bad experiences with Asus products. Seeing only 30 fps doesn't bother me at all. Switch is already considered weak ass with an SoC from 2015 and I'm still loving the graphics like the AC4: Black Flag port.

I'm not into Chinese retro handhelds. I recently bought the Data Frog SF2000 for $20 and the damn thing stopped working after 30 minutes of gameplay. Junk! Did get a refund. My smartphones and modded Vita can cover retro games. I'll stick to reliable and reputable companies like Sony, Nintendo, and Valve.

I still think people shouldn’t get a switch in 2023. It has incredibly weak hardware and struggles to run modern games. Get a steam deck or a ROG Ally instead. You can emulate switch games sometimes at a better frame rate than the switch and most modern games run pretty decently on them

Am agree with you it will be so hard to say good bye for old friend swicth idont whant upgrade i just whant perfect games

Bought mine in May and I don't regret it.

Too many sold.....I can see a new dock...let's call it the "POWER DOCK". Makes it more capable for dock use. OLED with some software upgrades....but a new dock can be a bridge without forgetting all these out here.

Bought one for totk. No regrets.

If the next console isn't backwards compat with my physical games, I won't be getting the new console for a longgg time because my backlog is outta control. So many AMAZING games on the Switch.

I haven't turned my wii or ps4 on in over a year... lol

I am guessing they will announce a new system in 2024 that will be released in late 2025.

Castlevania.

how did you play the game on pc?

You're wrong. Nintendo won't hesitate in remastering every game you mentioned in 60hz and sell them at full price, again. They've done it countless times.

Ive had mine for a few days its great, but i hate the feeling of the joycon. the analog stick is painful to feel, buttons good, triggers could be better. I don’t know how its been this long and theres never been a nintendo “adult” joycon, little bigger, and a complete different stick, I haven’t had drift, but I have a ps4 also known for drift and would take a stick like that in a heart beat.

2025

I just killed the first boss in BOTW inside the big elephant, on my Wii U, on a game i bought 6 years ago, and have just got round to playing. Lol
