![]() Once you remove them, you can either pop the caps on the sides and hand one to a friend or you can attach them to the controller base. Plus, the only time I’m on my Switch is when I’m on the road or in my bed so it just doesn’t make sense.īut those of you who do use the dock or want to play with friends, the Joy-Cons detach just as smooth as ever. I have nothing but 4K televisions and no desire to see the upscaling attempt on what was already down-resed to 720p. Personally, I only use my Switch in handheld mode. Along the bottom of the right controller you’ll find the IR Motion Camera with the right shoulder and trigger buttons on the right. The right analog stick resides directly below with the Home button just under that. On the right Joy-Con sits the + button in the top right, resting slightly above the four face buttons. Along the top of the controller sits a left shoulder and trigger button. The left analog stick is mounted in the top-left corner diagonally positioned from the - button, directly below the four directional buttons with the capture button rounding everything out. Nintendo Switch OLED Joy-Consīuttons and analog sticks are still the same on the OLED and made of black plastic. And the delicious noise of and E.M.M.I.’s menacing robotic head being detached from its loathsome body sounded so much more gratifying on the Switch OLED. The herky-jerky metallic movements of the Shakernaut were more defined on the Switch OLED than on the original. Will it fill up a smallish room with audio? No, but it definitely blew out the original’s Switch’s performance. The enhanced speakers on the Switch OLED however, are a different matter. The speakers on the old Switch were okay in a pinch, but they definitely had me reaching for a pair of headphones sooner than later. ![]() Both the color and the sharpness were noticeably different on the OG Switch, even though I was playing the same title and both screens have 1280 x 720 resolution. The orange-red and white suit never failed to draw my eye, especially when light gleamed off the golden accents lining strategic points of the suit.Īnd while it was a pesky foe, I couldn’t help but admire the deep-etched lines and weathered points of the Shakernaut robot as its large red sensor powered up to deliver a devastating laser blast my way. Intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran’s power suit looked absolutely resplendent as I made my way through the game. I made sure that Metroid: Dread, a pretty colorful game, was playing as I “worked” on my review. Why wouldn’t I love it on my handheld console? This baby literally turned heads when I whipped it out in the Laptop office and I basked in all the attention. I love it on my smartphones and I love it on my laptops and TVs. And man, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is where it’s at. The Switch OLED’s screen is big enough to draw in the jealous oohs and ahhs without being cumbersome.īigger is definitely better in most cases, the real reason we’re here is in the product name - OLED. Nintendo wisely cut down on the bezels for the Switch OLED, which makes the OG Switch’s panel seem diminutive by comparison. But let me tell you, side-by-side, the difference is clear. Seven inches might not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, especially when compared to a 6.2-inch screen. The original Switch’s dimensions are 4 x 9.4 x 0.55 inches, 14.1 ounces with Joy-Cons, 10.6 ounces without the controllers. So in terms of size, the Switch OLED is just a tad bigger measuring 4 x 9.5 x 0.55 inches and weighs 14.9 ounces with Joy-Cons attached and 11.7 ounces without. ![]() And when you raise the kickstand up slightly, you’ll see the microSD slot peaking out waiting for you to expand the storage from 64GB. The pair of hinges are a bit stiff for my tastes, but otherwise, it’s a solid addition to the system. The kickstand almost runs the full length of the console and flips halfway up the system, allowing for a really comfortable viewing angle. ![]() And oh, this kickstand! Instead of that little stubby thing I was always worried about snapping off (It never did, but it’s a concern that still sits in the back of mind), Nintendo gifted gamers with something a lot more substantial. The back of the console is made of black matte plastic with a gray Nintendo Switch logo stamped on the kickstand. ![]()
