Review on Game console Nintendo Switch OLED 64 GB, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Edition by Micha Mitrut ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

In general, the OLED version is very satisfied. My console came from the UK, so the box was without a film, and inside they put a charging adapter under our sockets. Switched to OLED from the 2nd revision of the regular version. In general, according to the reviews, I knew in advance what I was taking and why, so I was not disappointed in the end. I decided to take it, because for the most part I play on a portable device and I wanted a better screen and a normal stand, and not the misunderstanding that happened before.

Pros
  • - Glass screen instead of plastic and with OLED matrix instead of IPS - Screen with reduced bezels due to which it has increased from 6.2 to 7 inches - The colors are really much richer and brighter, it feels good in the bright games of Nintendo itself - True black color, thanks to which you can now normally play dark games like Metro 2033, Diablo 3, DOOM3, etc., etc. Here, by the way, the first launch of Metroid Dread is very directly impressive when the game logo appears on the screen from the darkness. - Thanks to the OLED matrix, the ghosting effect (residual trace during sudden movement) in dynamic scenes has also been reduced - Finally, a normal stand made across the entire width of the tablet, and even with an angle of inclination instead of the misunderstanding that happened before - Added a LAN port to the docking station instead of the 3rd USB. A necessary improvement for those who play on the network and the download speed is so much faster than via Wi-Fi - Improved the speakers in the console, now they are louder and the music and sounds in the game do not turn into mush as it was before - Expanded internal memory from 32 to 64 gigs. Of course, it’s better to buy a flash drive anyway, but it’s good that they expanded it, otherwise 32 GB was nothing at all - I also really liked that the stand became easier to open, before you had to make an effort and you could damage the nail - In games where there is more black, the charge now lasts longer due to the peculiarity of the OLED matrix. In general, in some games, the amount of time has increased from 30 minutes to an hour (you can see the measurements on YouTube for various games) - No hidden OLED auto-brightness settings like on some smartphones - Changed the compartment where the console is inserted into the docking station, it is now glossy and wider, so in theory the docking station should scratch the screen less, but it takes time to check this
Cons
  • - For some reason they redesigned the cover of the cartridge compartment. Now it can only be picked up with a fingernail or some mediator/plastic card - Volume +/- buttons now feel like a single button to the touch, making it difficult to accurately adjust the volume - The power button is now recessed deeper into the console, making it uncomfortable to press - Air holes at the back of the console are now without case protection, which is why there is a risk of tearing the mesh with a fingernail when you open the stand - Reworked console and joycon materials. Perhaps the materials themselves are better, but the old materials were more pleasant to the touch, but on the other hand, they are now more matte and do not become covered with sweat after an hour of playing - For some reason, the lid was remade into a docking station and now it is only removed and does not recline like the old docking station - Curve data transfer from the old console to the new one. After transferring data and profile, game icons do not appear on the new console, you need to download them yourself from eShop or insert all your cartridges. Also, statistics on the number of hours in games is crookedly transferred. The number of hours is transferred only for the last 20 running games on the old console; for the rest, the hour counter will go from 0. - Also keep in mind that saves on the old console are deleted when transferring, if not transferred through the cloud. However, not all games have support for cloud saves (like Pokemon and Dark Souls) - A flash drive with all downloaded games cannot simply be taken and rearranged to a new console, since there is a link to the console code at the file level, which will require formatting and downloading everything again on the new console - With the transfer of the island from Animal Crossing from the old console, there are also some troubles. It is necessary that both consoles be nearby and that a special application for transferring the island be downloaded to them - Alas, the eShop is still slow
