Nintendo on Tuesday revealed its Switch OLED model, the long-awaited upgrade to its hybrid console. It’ll be available on Oct. 8 — the day Metroid Dread comes out — and costs $350.
The 7-inch screen is slightly bigger than the regular Switch model’s 6.2-inch and Switch Lite’s 5.5-inch LCD screens, but the new model’s organic light-emitting diode display will offer more vivid colors and crisp contrast. It also features a wide adjustable stand for tabletop mode, a new dock with a wired LAN port, 64GB of internal storage, and “enhanced audio for handheld and tabletop play.”
It offers the same 4.5- to 9-hour battery life as regular Switch, and use the same NVIDIA Custom Tegra processor.
It’ll be available in two color variations — one with white Joy-Cons and a matching dock, and the other with neon and blue Joy-Cons and a black dock. Your old Joy-Cons will also be compatible with the new model.
