I need pokemon and fire emblem in my life. Which console version should I get?

Playing on your TV? OG Switch
Playing on the go? Lite
Doing both? OLED

At this point just wait for the switch 2 next year

if price is no concern get the OLED.
If you want to save a bit get the OG Switch.

Imo having the option for docking and portable is what makes the whole thing shine.

Got all 3. Get the OLED

og personally. only because i never used oled one

lite because it really is the goat handheld

If this is your first Switch, OLED all the way

Get a used first edition switch so you can hack it

OLED boyz.

Been trying to hunt one down. Damn near impossible unless I pay someone extra on top on kijiji or something.

that not dropping anytime soon

i hate playing handheld so og is fine enough

otherwise oled

Might as well get the OLED if you never had a Switch. But if you mostly plan on playing handheld then the Switch Lite.

Next year or 2023 is a given. The switch is at the end of its lifespan. There’s only so much more devs can do with its outdated hardware

idk if nintendo will do anything, they don't care about specs and performance, so they could keep switch for even longer

next console will prob be a new thing that carries over some key features

Nintendo doesn't care about the hardware, thing is selling like hotcakes still as well

I think we 3 years off from them dropping a new console, maybe 2.5 years at best

Ehhh they will start to care once third parties switch to ps5 and xsx, cause at that point only indies, some jrpgs and some 3rd party exclusives would come to switch. Im also thinking 2023 we could get the new Switch, but if op wants to play nintendo games i dont think its useful to make them consider a potential successor that hasnt been announced yet

OLED.

Damn switch og black version on sale right now for $379 cdn. Thats looking alright considering the only oled I can find is on kijiji for $550. Is the oled that much better to spend an extra $150?

lite if you're going to be only playing handheld. OLED if you want the dock and all that might as well spend a little more dough to get the nicer screen

Oled all day

OG. Hack that mofo and you're set until Switch 2 get announced.

This would be a thing if it was the Wii. But the Switch is still selling and isn't slowing down so companies are going to keep throwing half baked games on to the switch even if the game looks like a potato. My switch barely gets bump outside Pokemon. Switch is just a Indies/shovelware box anyway. Jrpgs look, sound, and run better on my Ps4. Hell I got into disgaea and even that run better on my Vita.
