what's going on everyone Austin John please here and today we're going to be taking a
look at the brand new Pokemon scarlet and violet Nintendo switch OLED Edition [Music]
these fun videos are you know is it really a review of the product or you're thinking about
getting it compared to a different switch and then you just want to see a video on it and the
overlords at Google may have decided for you to watch this so here we go while there have been
many limited edition Nintendo switch systems for Pokemon games we had the let's go Pikachu
and Eevee regular switch we had the bdsp and sword and shield switch lights this is the
first Nintendo switch OLED special edition with Pokemon and the second Nintendo switch
special edition after the Splatoon one which this one just came out and while it's cool and
all I'm probably immediately going to be trading this into GameStop because now I have this one
and also shout out to the wonderful people at colorware because I do have a custom colorware
switch and this thing is a Butte if you have an excessive amount of money to drop on someone or
there's someone special in your life and you want something customized check them out this video is
not sponsored by them we're taking a look at this bad boy I put in pre-orders to GameStop they were
delayed Amazon was delayed till Tuesday Walmart originally listed this for coming out September
30th so it's said to lead since then and there's been no updates so I don't know when that's coming
in if it ever is and I'm not trusting it so now I can officially cancel all my pre-orders I got this
this morning at Target I set it up for the two hour pickup window and I just stayed in the store
and I bought the mighty mighty Bowser and just played the demo switch and you know what happens
when you go to Target you end up buying a whole bunch of stuff you don't need and welcome back
camera two this is camera two it lets you see my hands this is very far away okay we should
work on that there are often questions that I get about uh should you upgrade your Nintendo
switch if you currently own a Nintendo switch and I'm gonna tell you the same thing I tell everyone
if you have the original V1 switch and you play in handheld mode absolutely upgrade if you do
not plan handheld mode you might see a difference might you know that systems what five years old
now so maybe it's a good idea to upgrade it especially if it just remains in the dock in
the battery health is near depleted oh I should probably turn this upside down so you guys could
see it right now it makes sense to me all right Nintendo switch Pokemon scarlet and violet OLED
Edition uh the side has my legal name blur that out stuff you've seen exactly what the box looks
like online before so the box is nothing new but inside the box as always with the oleds it has the
instructions right there on how to set it up and everything else I don't know if I'm going to be
setting it up in this video this is mostly about what it kind of looks like and everything else
a review over the details the Engravings other things like that looks to be the same HDMI cable
is this the same Malaysian power supply that we've been getting with every OLED switch no this is
a different power supply altogether why does it have two little two little dashes in there that's
not been on anyone before but I guarantee it's still the same wattage rating and everything else
like that joy-con grip the little strappy straps that you're never ever going to use and the dock
I'm very happy that the OLED switches the both special edition ones the Splatoon three one as
well as this one have some sort of funness to the dock oh yeah that's that's very predominant
wow cold ride on am I right on just showing up just like that okay there is
something unique here there we go we could see it ever so slightly so on co-ride on uh there's sort
of like a triangly Triforce hologram just over his part of the body and on my ride on that is not
there and I'm kind of just seeing these lines and nothing else although they aren't lines they're
more like little tiny minuscule dashes so while that does look like you know you would think some
ever in the streaming program either or YouTube it's not that's that's what it looks like a very
very subtle outline of the box art around the outside that you can only see at certain angles
so if you look at it flat you just see the two Bad Boys on there and on the back so this part is
removable as opposed to the original dock which is a hinge and the bottom left is a little Pokeball
this part does not come off and this part is easily lost so that makes sense there is no
customization to this piece whatsoever opposed to the Splatoon 3 one that has the continued graphic
on this removable piece I don't think there's ever been anything special to the joy-con grip
ever except for the Mario blue red one the the V1 switch which I love that one right
there that was that was like my favorite switch for a hot minute all right let's take a look
at these Joy cons so we got our orange school and we have our purple school so first of all
this is Scarlet this color is scarlet this is not red this is not orange this is trade up Scarlet
like if I were to compare this to the iPhone 13 red that's definitely not that that's Scarlet
have you guys seen the iPhone 14 red it's like a fluorescent red and it hurts my eyes that's the
reason I didn't bite I just went with the silver one this time and then this is uh this is grapes
if you know what a grape is that's this color it's grapes this is Wario grape soda exactly that the
slsr are also the same color as the shell which is nice oh on the back uh we have all the starters
and fight Coco is featured there twice because they know and when it comes to the actual switch
itself the front outer bezel is not customized or colored whatsoever which is not done on custom
painted switches and it's not done on the Splatoon 3 switch in fact it was only done on the Mario red
one the shell is the same original black OLED color it's not sort of customized or painted or
anything else you could see the area that's part of the continuous back shell on this uh colorware
one it seems like we just have sort of a graphic on here A whole bunch of icons so here we have a
Go goat and it looks like it kind of looks like um think of like the vinyls you would put on a
car in Need for Speed it's kind of like that that's that's the the essence I'm getting here
and then if I were to go ahead and put the joy cons on the sides as well you'll see that the
whole pattern just kind of continues throughout between the scarlet and the Violet play playing
off of each other and the black background so it's a very busy back from the front very quiet
very subtle you're playing your hand is covering this area but to everyone else who's watching you
play they're seeing this super graffiti tatted up style Nintendo switch if you have a case on your
switch or you use a switch grip Pro or anything else like that you are pretty much not seeing
this at all so do keep that in mind the kickstand is the same new kickstand which is beautiful SD
card slot back here you always have your serial number inside of your kickstand area be careful
when opening and closing the kickstand as the speaker girls are right here and you can mess
up your speaker girls I don't think you could actually damage the speakers though joy-cons
are regular old jackons exactly the same as all the oleds literally the only difference is the
outer shell I'm not going to take it apart and see if there's anything different on the
inside because honestly I doubt there would be if you are a docked player you are going to be
seeing your switch that's upside down you're going to be seeing your switch like this all the time
and honestly the way that they're facing away at the different School crests pretty cool it's a
clean looking system and on the front you know in in front of the TV home theater style it doesn't
look obnoxious which I do appreciate the Splatoon one is the opposite on the back very very subtle
right you have the ink spots and then you have the uh gloss black on matte black but then the front
you have the black on color which is barely visible on the Purple Gradient left side and
it's just very busy on the front and also this being so much darker than this it never looked
right in front of a home entertainment center but these two being the same brightness it works it's
balanced it has the right amount of saturation and brightness to really bring out both Hues properly
I actually kind of really like that purple and white two-tone Nintendo switch Pokemon scarlet
and violet OLED Edition releases today November 4th 2022 if you have the original switch and
you want upgrade go for it if you already have an OLED unless you specifically want these go for it
they are being already sold on eBay like pre-order listings for 500 the MSRP on this is 350 plus tax
350 plus tax you're looking at what 380 and then also consider that eBay has their what 30 percent
processing fee probably never gonna see these on eBay for anything under 400 450. 450 is like the
more reasonable end of this but if you can get it MSRP go for it a child or significant other really
wants the Pokemon scarlet and violet Nintendo switch for the holiday season and you can't get
that one you can only get the regular one I'm sure that's fine there are ways to customize joy-cons
with special grips and everything else I did a video a long time ago about that although it was
a dangerous process unless you're very comfortable with ribbon cables on very sensitive motherboards
I don't recommend if you just want to ball out and get a completely custom one like from colorware
go for that the Splatoon 3-1 unless you're a big Splatoon 3 Fan I would say just go for the regular
oh let's switch over this one honestly but at the same time like there's nothing wrong with
the original switch other than decrease battery life especially if you get like one of the cool
limited edition ones the Animal Crossing one let's go Pikachu and Eevee although my left joy-con died
and Nintendo said that they can't guarantee that I would be getting another of the same shell back
and I'm like well then what's the purpose of me sending it in for service although I'm not gonna
lie if I ever play in handheld I either have a switch grip or more likely I'm just using this
thing which this is their non-powered controllers from uh hori these are the first ones that came
out I think they were from I don't know the game collaboration that they use but they've done
a bunch of them uh there's an X so maybe it's deus ex machina I I have no idea uh extremely
comfortable you can hold this thing for extended periods of time that are not powered so you can't
remove it and put it inside of a joy-con grip so it's just on here permanently to play in handheld
mode so very very comfortable and the one thing that is taken into consideration is shoulder width
of an adult while holding a Nintendo switch this is much more comfortable than if your arms were in
closer on the regular joy-con grip well there we go that's the brand new Pokemon scarlet and violet
