what's going on you guys today i'm going to be unboxing you guessed it the nintendo switch
oled so there's been a lot of mixed feelings about this brand new console and the big thing
is people are saying it's basically the same as the original nintendo switch and to be honest with
you guys i think so too the major upgrades are not enough to warrant an upgrade but if you don't have
a nintendo switch at all and you're looking to pick up one now's a good time to grab one because
the new updates they're not that crazy but they're good enough if you're looking for a new nintendo
switch or if you're just looking to pick it up because you know you want the new upgrade
things like the display the onboard storage the new kickstand and even the wired lan ports on the
dock station if those things matter to you then you should definitely consider picking one up but
in this video i'm going to be unboxing this and giving my first impressions so i fall on the side
of people that do not have a nintendo switch like the original one so for me this will be something
that i would go for because i'm a big fan of oled and that coming to a console that's handheld
is huge for me at least that's that's just me personally i know i don't know about you guys let
me know down in the comment section if you would go ahead and pick up one of these new nintendo
switch oleds just based on the screen so the last time i owned a nintendo was the game boy advance
i'm talking the ones with no color and as soon as i heard that they were coming out with this one
i got a little bit excited i thought it was going to be a general upgrade like the internal system
everything was going to get like you know upgraded like a nintendo switch two something like that
or a nintendo switch pro we were all expecting that let's be honest if you don't already have
a nintendo switch this will feel like you know you're getting something brand new as opposed
to something that was released a few years ago as for the price of the new nintendo switch i bought
it for about 472.89 canadian dollars and this is plus taxes okay let's not waste any more time and
let's see what's inside of this box right here man i don't know if you guys are excited but i kind of
am i'm a big fan of unboxing gaming consoles okay so i've got the box right here and i'm gonna first
open it up and see what we got in there so first off what do we got there it says
right there plug it in set it up i think it's how you set up the nintendo switch well let's
go in and see what's really in here and then we can go from there i also like the design
of this one the one i got so the white and black honestly i'm more of a minimalist and
i love you know white and black so let's see what this is we've got the joycons right here
nice nice nice i like it so i don't think there's any difference between the joycons from this year
and the ones from last year and i hear people complain a lot about joycon drift so honestly
i hope i don't experience it but it just might happen man so right here we have the handheld
nintendo switch oled and that looks very clean at least in my opinion y'all so we have a seven inch
oled screen on this nintendo switch as opposed to the original one with about 6.2 inches so that's a
lot more space you know to play and see and view plus the fact that it's oled and everything is
going to look a lot more crispy i'm talking blacks looking blacker white looking whiter
you know think iphone thing oled tvs that's just awesome man i'm a big fan of oled so this is going
to work perfectly well for me and as you can see right here there's not much on this there's just
the basics uh there's the power button right there um i think the volume control so plus and minus up
here and then we've got the game card i think this is where you insert whatever game you're going to
be playing the cartridge whatever that looks like i think we've got some speakers up here as well
we've got the aux cord input if you're going to be using that to listen to you know the gameplay
audio and all of that so that's what i can see right off the rip as you can see right here at
the bottom we have a usb-c input i'm not sure if that's for charging or docking it or anything
like that because like i said i never really had the original nintendo switch i think we've got
the stand here as well i'm just gonna pop that as you can see it's the stand that's it right there
so that's pretty awesome i like that i love it i love it so the stand apparently is more stable
this year than it was last year like a wider stand is what i'm talking about so during my
review of this console what i'm going to do is i'm going to also compare it to the original one
so i'm going to get one of those and look at the differences between the both of them you know the
major differences not the internal differences because there's no difference on the inside when
you really think about it how it plays games how it operates just make sure you're paying attention
to that if you're going to be getting one of these over the other one that's just a manual man health
and safety information and usage guidelines this is an hdmi cable everyone knows what this is i'm
pretty sure it's an hdmi 2.0 cable because uh this does not support hdmi 2.1 yet hopefully
maybe next year or in two years from now nintendo can really come out with some you know upgraded
console a nintendo switch pro or nintendo switch two something like that man come on y'all got to
do better than this okay so we got the power cable here or power adapter whatever you want to call it
you get that out so this makes more sense now this is the usbc uh cable that goes into the
port underneath the device i can feel something here so this must be the controller holder like
a dock for your control as you'd set them here the joycons you can dock it in there and you can turn
it into a full-blown controller those you guys are already familiar with nintendo would already
know what this is and how this works all right so next up here as you can see we have the hand
grip controller so you stick this or you connect this to the joycons and you can just attach it to
your hands so and then you work with that i'm pretty sure that's how it works it's the same
thing we did with the controller dock earlier so all you have to do is slide it in right there
and it locks into place and then you can just grab it right here and use it to play okay i think
right here we have the docking station this is how you will connect it to your tv and stuff like that
right there so white clean color clean design just gets dirty a lot quicker but me with me and white
i really take care of things very very very well you know at least up to the best of my ability
on the right side of the dock we have two usb ports i'm pretty sure that's gonna come in handy
okay so the back comes up as you can see so we have the ac adapter which also uses the usb-c port
so i'm pretty sure this is what you would connect the power adapter to and then you would just dock
the nintendo switch inside of it to charge it or to you know connect it directly to your tv
and whatnot and then we've got a hdmi out so that's how you would connect it to your tv
obviously and a LAN input that's the one i was talking about right there so a wired connection
i'm pretty sure this is not on the original switch so this is a big upgrade for some people that are
looking for more stable connections and stuff like that all right let's go ahead and power this on
there's nothing else left in the box as you guys can see so we're gonna go ahead and power it on
and see what it looks like one more thing you can do with the joycon controllers is you can
dock them directly on the nintendo switch so i'm going to take them off and dock them there right
now and just like that we have handheld mode so this is what you would do if you wanted to bring
it around so you want to game with it on the road on the bus you know while flying all that kind of
stuff then this is how you would want to bring it around and while you're charging this you're also
charging the joycons that's the cool thing about this there's three ways you can use this and if
you already have a nintendo switch you already know that by now so the first one we just talked
about handheld mode right here the next one is going to be like when you want to share it with
friends or something like that then you go into tabletop mode so the last mode that you guys want
to take note of is the docked mode so for that mode all you have to do is set it up with your tv
plug in your hdmi to this right here once you have this connected to power your tv and maybe a wired
internet connection then you're good to go all you're gonna have to do at that point is dock the
oled switch so you just do this basically so you go right there you dock it okay i'm gonna go ahead
and try to power it on see if they've got some power in it already just gonna hold it for about
two to three seconds okay so that's the first time i'm turning it on as you can see it looks really
good clean uh we're gonna go ahead and choose english okay would you like to connect to a
tv and play on a larger screen eventually i will okay so right there as you can see pretty simple
once you have games you can then just play them if you have a game card or you can download software
from nintendo eshop i'm pretty sure that means you can have games on the console as well as on a game
card let's see what else they got here so news you can check that out if you want it you go ahead and
see what else they got there let's go back to the home right there and then let's see what else they
got a shop album controllers system settings let me see controllers and what's in there
okay so you can mess around with the controllers find them out pair new controllers if you've got
new ones and stuff like that the settings option or menu we have airplane mode screen brightness
screen lock parental controls internet data management all that cool stuff you find in
settings you know so we go ahead and hit go back right there i basically have to create one before
i can use it so make sure you're you know you have a nintendo account before going ahead to try this
out besides the white and black design gaming on the 7-inch oled is a beauty there's a lot
of vibrant colors and everything looks very rich well i have nothing to compare it against except
other oled displays like tvs the iphone and the likes so far i'm impressed by the display this is
for sure going to make gaming in handheld mode a lot more fun so think about it like that you have
more screen area now to work with so whenever you're playing you see more and it just feels
better everything looks better everything looks deeper the screen is brighter and things just
look better overall so this is only one of the three ways that you can play the nintendo switch
this is the handheld mode this method of gaming on the switch is probably the most common you'll see
people use and it's just gotten better with that 7 inch oled display in order to use the second
method of gaming with the switch you need to pull out that little flap at the back so the wider
adjustable stand so this is how you would play in tabletop mode as you can see right here i've got
metroid dead on the screen and i'm just going to game in this mode which is really cool in
its own way especially if you want to play with somebody else say a two-player game or something
like that this mode has also been improved since the adjustable stand is now more stable as opposed
to the original one on the original switch so that's going to make gaming in this mode a lot
safer which is great since you definitely don't want to damage your nintendo switch regardless
of if it's oled or the regular one with this method you want to disconnect both of the joy
cons and just play directly you can also use the joy-con controller dock to turn both joy-cons into
a full-blown controller whichever route you decide to take let me know if you're going to be gaming
in tabletop mode or if you do game in tabletop mode on your current switch console the final
method which i really really wish i could view in 4k quality is the docked mode so this mode you can
only view in 1080p hd quality this method has also been improved with the addition of the lan ports
which allows you to directly connect your internet to your switch so that way you have more stable
connection for online gameplay all you need to do to use this method is disconnect the joy cons from
the nintendo switch and then just dock it on the docking station that's it so you make sure that
you got that docking station connected to power as well as the hdmi cable connected to your tv
this method gives you a larger display to work with so for those of you guys that enjoy playing
on larger screens you can get that with the nintendo switch and i know those of you guys
that have the original one already know that the only thing that i've noticed with this method
is that you can't really get that quality you get from the 7-inch oled display
of the switch on your tv i don't know if it's going to be different if you use an oled tv
but this tv that i'm using is not an oled tv it's just a regular 4k hdr tv it still looks very good
everything looks very clean but the colors don't look as deep and as rich as on the console that's
all i'm saying okay so that's all there is to the new nintendo switch oled so the major highlights
for this are the 7-inch oled display which gives you more room or more viewing area there's also
the internal storage that's now up to 64 gigabytes which is a lot more for your storing needs playing
in tabletop mode has also been improved with the new adjustable stand the wider one finally duct or
tv mode now has lan connectivity so that's going to give you stronger internet connection overall
okay so far what i think is there hasn't been any major upgrades to the nintendo switch that
should make people go ahead and grab a new one if they already have the old one just grab it
if you don't already have one or if you just feel like you know what i want to just have that
oled display or i want to have better stand or i want to have more storage i hope you guys enjoyed
