While The Nintendo Switch OLED is not a ‘must have’ upgrade if you still have a well-loved Nintendo Switch, the added features and enhanced screen real estate sure are a nice improvement over the original. If you’ve never owned a Switch before, this is the perfect time to jump in and have the best experience available to date. Hit the ground running with the highly anticipated Metroid: Dread (also released today), and follow it up with a four year back-catalogue of classic games like The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, and Monster Hunter Rise.
