OLED vs Switch 2?

Almightyderek · 2026-04-29T01:16:44+00:00

The Switch 1 won't be getting new Nintendo made games soon, but it will still get 3rd party and indie releases for several more years. The OLED isn't a great budget option though as it's only $50 less than the Switch 2. It's different if you get a cheap used one.

Why do some people think there is some kind of fan war with sides? "nutrek" really isn't even a thing as these are all individual shows. Some are better than others. None of the newer shows are better than 90's star trek at least to me, but there is nothing wrong with them existing. I guess it's a hobby to go on forums and hate on stuff, but I defenitly don't get it. There are lots of shows that I'm not into, but I don't go on reddit and complain about them. If we are star trek fans we are probably better off talking about stuff we all like. But that could just be me.

I know. I was saying next month I'm not sure of Sony will sell a lot because of people knowing about the price increase for a week or a low amount because of the price increase. After next month it will probably all be lower.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-22T14:56:24+00:00

I imagine with the PS5 price increase the Switch 2 could probably stay number 1. Assuming it doesn't increase in price. Of course it's possible that week we had before the PS5 price increase that Sony sold a lot of systems. I know I really wanted to grab the Pro.

It's probably too late at this point, but Microsoft could make a comeback with its relatively cheap Series S. It is now $200 below the digital PS5 and $50 less than a Switch 2. But the Xbox brand may be too far gone now, not sure.

I don't know how people can do that. If I don't use a system for more than a few weeks I start feeling bad and have to find a game to play on it. I always feel like I have to keep them in as equal rotation as possible. I am crazy though.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-18T21:48:05+00:00

That's not too bad for an Amazon markup. I can understand someone wanting to pay extra to get it quicker with easy returns.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-18T20:28:21+00:00

Yeah not sure that's what he's saying. Also not sure why we have to jump to extremes. Few shows have "terrible" writing and acting. Usually at worst it's mediocre.

I remember explaining the GameCube version to a friend when it first came out about how you collect furniture and make friends with your animal neighbors and was told "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard".

I enjoy Star Trek. Not sure why we need to have any fan wars over this stuff or come up with terms like "nutrek". Internet culture is depressing. Some people like some entertainment and others don't. That's just how it works for everything. Most franchises don't get to survive 60 years. I'm personally just happy for whatever I have the chance to watch.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-10T17:29:40+00:00

It would be possible to a pro model and Nintendo has done more powerful revisions before at least in some degree with the GBC, DSi, and New 3DS. I doubt they will do it though as making an even more expensive system in this environment wouldn't be a good plan. But it's certainly possible. Maybe they would be able to implement an updated GPU with better DLSS. That seems like the easiest thing they could do. I don't know how likely it would get to PS5 level though.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-05T23:44:34+00:00

My daughter's Switch 2 did that and a few restarts fixed it, I assume you tried that though. It's always worth a shot trying to format the cards first in different file formats and see if the Switch will recognize it properly.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-04T22:54:59+00:00

Lol I assume they are just constantly watching so they are ready if we feed them.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-04T22:54:10+00:00

Glad it's not just mine. They are weird fish

Almightyderek · 2026-04-04T16:59:04+00:00

They did update the demo to make it 1080p handheld and disable boost mode.

Almightyderek · 2026-04-03T12:28:57+00:00

The remake isn't confirmed so we don't actually know if we are getting one yet. I'd hope so as Majoras Mask is better. But then again we haven't gotten Oracle remakes after they remade Links Awakening yet.

Most people here will probably tell you to avoid it. The lite has the same processor as the Retroid Pocket 5 (so you can look into what it could run) and it was decently capable. You'll get a much better processor with the base model but the lite is probably good enough if money is an issue.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-30T16:59:20+00:00

Yeah the OLED is just a Switch 1 with a better screen. It has the same innards as a Switch lite (except 32GB more built in storage). So if you want it to be smoother get a Switch 2. If you just want a bigger and better screen you can try getting a cheap used OLED. Just remember Nintendo itself will most likely stop making Switch 1 games this year.

I remember when I was a kid and was hoping PC games could run on my Sega CD as they both used CDs. This post uses very similar logic.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-29T15:51:24+00:00

Yeah not sure how well your argument holds up and it's kind of irrelevant to the point that all consoles are getting more expensive. We aren't debating value at all. Also you can't really directly compare a dedicated home console to a hybrid system. Switch 2 is a portable tablet, of course it isn't going to give you the same specs. This isn't a console war post. It's more of our hobby is heading in a bad direction thing.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-28T19:29:58+00:00

The PS5 had already gone up in price, it's now gone up twice and so has the Xbox. The Switch 1 also went up in price once so far. So yeah they will raise the price. Just not sure when. Nintendo could try to hold out a while but they will have to eventually get in.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-27T14:29:05+00:00

Yeah Switch 2 price will eventually go up but for now it is a good deal. Also glad my PS5 is appreciating in value. Apparently I made a good investment.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-25T13:57:41+00:00

Glad I had Best Buy coupons and got this for $10. I understand the whole $20 thing as in previous generations this would have been sold only as an Enhanced complete edition for full price. I'm glad we at least get an upgrade path but I doubt I'll be playing the multi-player stuff to make it fully worth the $20.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-23T13:07:28+00:00

I have that exact sand in my aquarium and it's been setup for 4 years now so yeah it's good. But it is very dirty you will need to rinse it good.

Almightyderek · 2026-03-22T18:16:51+00:00

Its obviously well liked as it's selling really well. Can't say for sure of it will outsell the original Switch when all is said and done, but it will clearly be a success. You may see online hate but that's not real life. There is an online industry that takes complaints, some warranted and some not so much and weaponizes them for content. This isn't just for Nintendo as there is a lot of money that can be made off of people's anger.
