Fall is here, and it’s the perfect time to snuggle up on the couch with a warm cup of tea and a handheld gaming console. If you’re in the market for a new device or have been thinking about getting one, consider the Nintendo Switch OLED. Right now, you can save $50 on this model, bringing the price down to $300 from $350 – that’s a 14% discount. This offer is available on Woot for the next five days or until supplies run out.
The Nintendo Switch OLED was released in 2021 as an updated version of the original 2017 model. In our review, we gave it a score of 89 due to its impressive upgrades, such as a larger 7-inch OLED screen (up from 6.2 inches) and a longer battery life. The new model can last up to seven hours on a single charge, compared to the four to five hours of the original. Additionally, the improved stand design makes it easier to use the console in tabletop mode.
It’s worth noting that there have been rumors circulating about the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, which may come out in the near future. While there is no official announcement yet, many signs point to a potential reveal before the end of the month. This leaves consumers with a choice – take advantage of the current deal on the Nintendo Switch OLED or wait to see what Nintendo has in store with their next console. Keep in mind that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is set to be released later this week.
