Nintendo surprised fans this morning with the announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED model, launching October 8.
The new model features a 7-inch OLED screen, a wide adjustable stand to use for tabletop mode, a brand-new dock with a wired LAN port built-in, 64GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio for tabletop and handheld modes. It will have a retail price of $349.99 USD, an increase of $50 over the original Switch.
Unlike previous reports, the updated version will not include a maximum resolution of 4k.
Current Joy-Cons will work with the OLED model, as well as the full library of Switch titles. However, Nintendo Labo owners may have some difficulties. “The system will not cleanly fit within all the design parameters of the Nintendo Labo series.”
According to Nintendo, there will be two models:
* Nintendo Switch (OLED model) white set, which features white Joy-Con controllers, a black main unit and a white dock.
* Nintendo Switch (OLED model) neon red/neon blue set, which features neon red and neon blue Joy-Con controllers, a black main unit and a black dock.
