Yes. Quite a bit smaller. I did sell my Switch and go to the lite but the smaller screen and my bad eyes meant I eventually sold it and went to the OLED for bigger screen as I found text too small on the lite.

Do you use the OLED as a handheld only now then?
I might have to see if I can try one out.
No i do still occasionally use on my TV. That was mainly with i went to the lite as I wasn't using on my TV at all originally. But my nephew likes to play Mario Kart so thats usually when it gets plugged in to the TV.
Yep, it's a really nice form factor

I just want something that fits in the hand well and not really fussed about it going on the TV anymore
Go for it, the gold Zelda one looks awesome
Doing a few flights over the next few months, so picking up a very lightly used Switch OLED later on from a friend. Was a 2024 christmas present for his other half that's been used maybe half a dozen times. Had a screen protector on it since day 1. Getting Super Mario Wonder with it. Will probably pick up Breath of the Wild as well.
Did consider a Lite, but I'm old so the larger screen is nice.
Anyone got a recommended carry case? Something not too bulky would be good.

My personal favourite for both my OLED Switch and my Steam Deck are the TomToc cases:
That's the one I had in my amazon basket already. Good to know I had good instincts.
OMG, why are the controls for flying on those bullet things in Mario Odyssey so unintuitive?! I must’ve died 30 times last night before I gave up.
Anyone here have a Bedrock Realms server? I just recently discovered they released mods on the marketplace. Sadly, it seems the Nintendo Switch can't handle some add-ons, which leads to crashes, items being invisible and crashes.
My daughter enjoys us building in creative mode, so finally having some furniture is something I was hoping to enjoy.

I feel like I am missing out on so many Switch 1 games and with the 2 coming out soon some of them might have their price lowered. The two I'm quite keen on getting are Hyrule Warriors and Xenoblade Chronicles.
Which other games would you guys recommend picking up while I wait for the Switch 2?

I doubt the games will drop in price due to them working on Switch 2.
True. Still I'd like to get a few more games while I wait.

Some will likely go up as the Switch 1 game + upgrade will be a cheaper way of getting Switch 2 native games.
This may get expensive....
Had the switch under a week now. Already have Breath of the Wild now. Along with New Super Bros U, Lego Star Wars, Lego DC Villains, Lego City Undercover, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Jurassic Park (Hey.. I really enjoy the Lego games) Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Wonder, This War of Mine, GTA Trilogy and Assassin Creed Rebel Collection.
About half physical and half digital. Some of the digital prices were just insanely cheap.

3rd party prices can be Steamesque if that’s a word! I’ve bought so much just because. Lego City was like £3.99 or something recently when I bought it.This may get expensive....

Yeah, other than Lego Star Wars at £12, everything has been under a fiver.
For the physical games, Facebook marketplace has come up trumps for me and nothing has been more than £30. Got to be quick though.
