Alright, they got me... I think I'm gonna get the OLED. My launch Switch is giving me the "no cartridge inserted" error almost every other day now. It's super frustrating. My Joycon are also beat to you-know-what; a new pair would cost me close to a hundred anyway, might as well just go for it and get a fresh console. I know I'll appreciate the screen and all that once I have it.
That video was already posted on the previous page. And do you not have an opinion on the video itself? Just...post and bounce? Personally, my opinion of OLED still stands. The minor upgrades of the screen, the on-board memory, and ethernet port don't justify the asking price. Especially with the Switch's successor platform likely less than a few years away.

Yeah, I had heard about it being planned before & thought it'd be coming over here, @RR529 .... Thought there'd likely be some glad it's coming to Switch as well, though
I'd buy it on Switch if I were interested in the game... it just doesn't really appeal to me. Tried the SK games on 3DS and, they were OK I guess. Decent, not great.
Upon much personal reflection, my GotY is also definitely Monster Hunter Rise, though Metroid Dread and Shin Megami Tensei V are close runner ups. And Monster Hunter Stories 2 is also one of the year's best, without question.
I'm currently enthralled with re-experiencing previously released games on the OLED (such as Resident Evil Revelations 2, which looks sooo good with perfect blacks and deeper colors), and enjoying my new D-pad joycon. Until my shell-swapped joycon arrive I've been using the Hori D-pad joycon. I discovered that despite not having gyro, most games still work with gyro because they default to the right joycon in handheld mode. That alone was a game changer cause I can't go without Gyro. Can't do it. Also, even though it doesn't have rumble, the right joycon still does, and it reverberates through the system and into the left joycon- not as strongly but, it still feels good. The only true compromise is no wireless, so tabletop is, well, off the table hehe 😉 But in exchange for the best D-pad I've used in a long time, which makes games like Ultra Street Fighter II playable without the analog, and which makes platformers such as DKC Tropical Freeze more enjoyable.

I’d say my overall GOTY would be Mass Effect Legendary Edition, but since that is technically a rerelease, my overall GOTY would be MH Stories 2. There might be objectively better games this year, but no other game released this year took up so much of my time, in the good way. I played a 100 plus hours of that game and did so for the joy of it, rather than something like Outriders, where I played like three times as much but just because of the grind treadmill, not because it was actually fun. Like I say, only reason it isn’t my Switch GOTY too as I didn’t play that version.
There was a non-negligible change Metroid Dread could have won out, but in the end, Monster Hunter always wins... But I Tigrex.

SM3DW+BF is probably the most unadulterated fun I've had in a game this year. Not the deepest or most immersive, just fun, bright, & slick.
Outside of that I'd probably say Tales of Arise was absolutely fantastic. Nothing genre defining, but it was just a good comfort food JRPG that felt thoroughly modern, with a fun cast, and interesting twists. Obviously not on Switch though.
@rallydefault You can find Switch OLEDs via Best Buy or Target if you check their OLED pages for in-store stock. You cannot buy them via their website (unless you get REALLY lucky with Target, but don't count on it)
In the past week Best Buy seems to be getting bigger shipments, and is probably your best bet. Target stock will sell out soon after opening, while Best Buy may have stock for 1-2 days.
When I went to my best buy that had stock, they hadn't even put them in the case on the floor. I asked the employee if they had stock, because the website said their location had stock. The employee didn't even know they had them. They searched the computer, then went into the back of the store and, came back out with a white OLED for me. On the right side of the best buy oled page, there's green font "Buy it today in-store", select check all locations to see stock in your area. Check daily. whitehttps://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-switch-oled-model-w-whi... red/bluehttps://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-switch-oled-model-w-neo...
To check Target for in-store stock, on Target's oled page, select Edit Store to the right of the price. Edit Store will show you which locations have stock - these often sell out in the moring if they get any. If Target doesn't have stock, the site won't let you see the pages for the OLED. That's partly why I'm pasting the target links here.
