 No more rumors no more speculation folks. This is real Nintendo has announced the Nintendo switch OLED model that's what they're calling it the OLED Model it even has OLED on the box. In fact, I'm looking at the box right now It is snazzy. It is slimmed down. It looks like it. It's looking Fantastic now Let's get into all the details about this you'll be seeing the trailer on repeat throughout throughout this video Sorry, not on camera today wasn't quite ready to go to make a video this early today But it doesn't matter cuz here we are and we have the Nintendo switch OLED This is folks for all intents and purposes the switch pro now There's gonna be some disappointing aspects of this platform. There's also gonna be some nice aspects of this platform So first off it does feature that seven inch OLED screen that Takahashi Machizuki has been telling us for a while We were going to get with vivid colors crisp contrast and it's gonna be launching at three hundred and forty nine dollars in 99 cents They made some quality of life improvements This comes from Nintendo directly here It says that the Nintendo switch family assistance is about to gain a new member on October 8th The Nintendo switch OLED model it will launch at a suggested retail price of three hundred and forty nine ninety nine Giving people another option for how they want to play the vast library of games on Nintendo switch The OLED model has a similar overall size to the Nintendo switch system But with a larger vibrant seven inch OLED screen with vivid colors in crisp contrast Nintendo switch OLED model also features a wide adjustable stand for tabletop mode Which you're gonna see in the trailer and a new dock with a wired land port. Thank you Nintendo No more dongles. It's just right there in the dock should have been done a long time ago But it is done for this OLED model It says it will have a lot of players play on the TV It'll share a detachable joy-con controllers for right out of the box multiplayer fun Just like the both the Nintendo switch and switch light the switch all that model the system can be taken on the go to play anywhere Versatility a carrying case and a screen protector set for switch all that model will also be available It launches on October 8th the same day as Metroid Dread That's right folks They are pairing the release of this with a Metroid game. Hell. Yeah the next 2d entry Under the saga that kicked off the original Metroid with vibrant color screen enhanced audio. That's right They talk about enhanced audio. It's really hard to get enhanced audio through a video I don't know what that means, you know deeper bass louder speakers because I already think the switch is pretty loud And I don't think people were complaining about the audio too much But hey look if they're going to make the audio better go ahead and make the audio better It says the new Nintendo switch OLED is a great option for players Who want to experience the new vibrant screen and playing in handheld and tabletop modes said Nintendo president Doug Bowser With the addition of this new model to the Nintendo switch family of systems People will have an additional choice of system that best fits the gaming experience they desire Whether it's Nintendo switch OLED Nintendo switch or Nintendo switch light Yeah, so that's um, wow, it's even also have 64 gigabytes of storage Now people want to know um, some of the technical specs This is where you're probably going to be let down it guys. It does not appear to be anything That's different under the hood. I mean, maybe there's a die shrink in there But beyond all that there isn't really much different So the OLED model is four inches high and nine and a half inches long and 0.55 inches deep In comparison to the size of a normal switch that is bigger That is four inches high as well, but it's only 9.4 inches long. So it's slightly You know wider, I guess I should say not longer slightly wider It's only 0.55 inches deep though. So everything should basically work pretty well together The weight is obviously different. It's 0.71 pounds versus 0.66 pounds And 0.93 pounds of joy counts attached versus 0.88 But it is using an NVIDIA custom Tegra processor Just like the original one. It does have 64 gigabytes of internal storage. So they did double the size of that So that's really good. Uh, and you can now you can expand up the two terabytes of micro sd cards Um, it does have wi-fi using the ie 802.1 ab GN ac compliant with bluetooth 4.1 Um, what's interesting there is uh, it's exactly the same as the original So yeah, there's really not a whole lot that changes under the hood It's just mostly about those quality of life improvements and that OLED panel You know as a headphone mic jack all that jazz. There's there's nothing different here There's no operating environments 41 to 95 degrees in 20 to 80 percent humidity just like the original Uh, you know battery life is going to be four and a half to nine hours Um, that's quite interesting. Uh, the other one is also four and a half to nine So I don't know if I've ever gotten nine hours even playing indie games But charging time takes three hours and that's while it's in sleep mode. So yeah, it it's literally It sounds like it's just a normal switch, but with an OLED panel Um, and then obviously, uh, you know that better kickstand and all that jazz So this appears to be the switch pro now This you know when we talked about upgraded model one of the number one things you obviously talked about is specs Uh, and while there aren't any specs here just as an nvidia custom tagger processor I mean that could be there's no guarantee that that's like I'm The thing is the video outputs 1080p and hdmi to tv mode So whatever happened all that 4k dlss stuff that takahashi much as we talked about We'll have to wait and see is this just a is this just going to be the model that Because the way I look at this is this looks like something That's going to replace and by the way that OLED model is 720p. So it is a 720p OLED They this looks like something that's just going to replace the the normal base switch, right? I feel like this because it's basically the base switch with a few improvements And it's a bit more expensive I feel like there's going to be a price drop on this bad boy at some point And it's just going to replace that base switch. Does that mean we're not going to get a more powerful switch? Maybe we're not maybe this is it. This is what we're going to get Maybe we're literally not going to get anything more than this until the next gen switch So what's all that talk about 4k dlss? Maybe that is for next gen. I don't know Maybe this does support dlss. I have no idea. I presume it's the exact same thing under the hood But I think if it wasn't nintendo would have told us outright that it's more powerful Maybe they're not telling us outright. It's more powerful and that to not slow down sales of switch Even though switches like sold out, but hey coming out october 8th Could frickin luck. I'm pre-ordering this bad boy Um, I'm going to be attempting very hard to get a pre-order in if I can get two pre-orders in we'll give one away, of course But man, I'm so excited Um At you you would think that I'd be a bit more disappointed because the specs aren't like this crazy thing But I'm not really disappointed about it Um, I'm glad that nintendo is refreshing their console. They are addressing some things I wish they would address drift. Who knows maybe they will be addressing drift I I can't talk specifically about that because nintendo didn't mention drift But it would be cool if there was a slight redesign of the joy cons. It is compatible with all old joy cons Doesn't mean I won't have new design joy cons on the inside We won't know that until it arrives. You guys all know the spawnway will do a tear down and And compare the joists the joysticks and see if there is any changes under the hood But I don't know all I know is hey look the thing's real. This is real. This is tangible Nintendo is doing this. Is this enough? Is this enough to keep switch going for another few years or is this just a micro step to Another switch. Is this a micro step to switch to is that 4k dls ass rumored thing ever going to come out I don't know I don't know if switch could be a 10 15 year device. I have no idea only nintendo does but hey This is something and as always something is better than nothing and yes, I definitely am getting one for myself Hopefully day one pre-orders are always going to be a bitch But thank you guys so much for tuning in. I am Nathaniel Robichus from the nintendo prime I'll catch you in the next video
