Nintendo Switch OLED MSRP $350.00 “The Nintendo Switch OLED may not be what players dreamed of, but it’s undeniably a technical step up for the Switch.” Pros Improved screen Improved onboard audio Much better kickstand Cleaner dock design Cons No upgrades for TV Storage is still small Much of the discussion around the Nintendo Switch OLED model has been about what it’s not, as opposed to what it is. From its initial announcement, fans were vocally disappointed about the upgrade’s lack of three main things: 4K graphics while docked, a resolution bump in handheld mode, and a battery boost. That…
PRODUCT INFONintendo Switch – OLED ModelOctober 8th, 2021Type ConsolePrice $350 When the Nintendo OLED Switch was first announced, it was met with widespread confusion from the gaming community.

The metroidvania genre moniker alone is proof that Metroid’s DNA has lived on throughout the lengthy hiatus. As Samus returns in Metroid Dread, it’s undeniable that the series is entering a landscape that is littered with games that are indebted to it and in some cases improved on it. Nevertheless, Metroid Dread is a triumphant return for the bounty hunter—in large part because it remains true to its lineage. Like seeing an old…
