Nintendo Switch OLED Announced July 6, 2021

Low and behold, the newest revision of the Nintendo Switch…with a 7” OLED screen, a wider kicksstand, and a wired LAN port in its dock. I present, the Nintendo Switch OLED.

The price is $350US and the release date is October 8th, 2021. I have to admit I’m on the fence about this one. While I like the improved screen and wider built-in stand, the handheld, unfortunately, will not output to home televisions in 4K. That said it is a fine option for people who want to buy a new Switch either for the first time or as an upgrade from the Switch Lite.
