I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).

They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?

    I’m in the same boat as you, and I bought Switch 2 because prices are on the rise, and I didn’t want to invest heavily when the next Zelda game spawns (which most probably will be Switch 2 exclusive).

    I bought Switch Oled exclusively for BOTW and TOTK, and I’m very happy with this decision. I live in BOTW, it’s a nice place just to travel around and enjoy.

        429 EURO in the online shop where I bought it. You can perhaps get better deals in other shops, don’t know.

          It’s even less in where I am: ¥49,980 (270€) but there’s a catch, as it’s the Japanese only version (the only thing different about it is that the language can’t be changed nor can foreign Nintendo accounts be signed in, as the account region has to be Japanese).
