So much for the big E3 reveal. Weeks after the big gaming show, Nintendo has finally taking the wraps off the latest iteration of its wildly popular hybrid gaming console. The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) [parentheses theirs] will arrive on October 8, priced at $350. That is, the company's quick to note, the same day it launches Metroid Dread, the long-awaited latest side scrolling entry in the long-standing franchise.

The system sports a 7-inch OLED, improved audio and 64 GB of internal storage. The hybrid dock sports a wired LAN port, and the system ships with an adjustable port for playing in tabletop mode. There's a sharp black and white color scheme, though the remainder of the materials looks to be similar to the earlier model, with most of that price bump going to the display. The company will also be offering a separate carrying case, because you don't want to get the fancy screen on your new $350 system scratched.

From the sound of it, the two existing Switch models are sticking around, as lower cost alternatives. Those models run $299 and $199, respectively, though it seems reasonable to expect there may be some price drops as the new model arrives, ahead of the holidays.


"The new Nintendo Switch (OLED model) is a great option for players who want to experience the new vibrant screen when playing in handheld and tabletop mode," Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser said in a press release. "With the addition of this new model to the Nintendo Switch family of systems, people have an additional choice of a system that best fits the gaming experience they desire whether it's Nintendo Switch (OLED model), Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite."


The system will arrive in two color configurations. Per Nintendo,


  • Nintendo Switch (OLED model) white set, which features white Joy-Con controllers, a black main unit and a white dock.


  • Nintendo Switch (OLED model) neon red/neon blue set, which features neon red and neon blue Joy-Con controllers, a black main unit and a black dock.

In spite of the lack of new hardware, last month's E3 did see some big game news from Nintendo, before just a new Metroid. Far and away, the most eagerly anticipated is 2022's sequel to Breath of the Wild, one of the most beloved entries in the Zelda series and easy one of the Switch's best titles.
