Nintendo Switch OLED model launches this October with bigger screen and improved dock
The dock will now support an ethernet connection, but no sign of 🧔a 4K boost
The Nintendo Switch OLED model is the official 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch Pro we've all been waiting to hear about and it's launching this October.
Nintendo Switch (OLED model), as it's officially called by Nintendo, will be released on October 8 for $349.99 (£309 in the UK, and AU$539.95 in Australia), with both black and white and black and neon red/blue models available at launch. We're actually seeing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch OLED pre-orders go online already too.
The console comes with a bigger, more vibrant screen and an ethernet port built right into the dock. Despite rumors that it woul🌠d support 4K gaming, a press release confirmed that the Switch OLED model's highest resolution output will be 1080p in docked🐼 mode.
Nintendo dropped the news about the Switch's new hardware revision with a surprise trailer drop, focused on the possibilities its new OLED screen and improved speakers give to handheld and tabletop play. On the (literal) flipside, the console will be equipped✤ with an extra-wide and extra-adjustable stand, letting you set it to your preferred degree of tilt for tabletop play.
The new hardware upgrade will be compatible with every game in the Switch library, and you'll also be able to use the same Joy-Con controllers to play - though it looks like this will be your first opportunity to pick up a white pair if you've been waiting for one. It wജill include 64 GB of built-in storage, doubling the standard Switch model's 32 GB of storage, and it looks like you'll still be able to expand that storage with a MicroSD card if you need more space.
The October 8 release date means Nintendo Switch OLED model will be released on the same day as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Dread, the long-awaited next chapter in the main Metroid series. The reveal trailer includes some previously-seen Dread gameplay, as well as showing off the console playing 澳💖洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Splatoon 2, and a sam💯pling of other current Switch games.
Nintendo has a long history of releasing slight upgrades for its consoles in the middle of their life cycle: sometimes they receive their own exclusiꦆve line of titles, like with New Nintendo 3DS and Game Boy Color, and sometimes they just le🎶t you play the same games with a nicer setup, like Nintendo DS Lite and Game Boy Advance SP. It looks like Nintendo Switch OLED model will fall into the latter category.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started purꩲsuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and n✃ow I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
