    Not gonna lie, I wish I had the money for this

    i really like the back graphics. i have a v1, v2, and lite i can’t justify another switch. but a oled mario red would sway me hard.

    I wish I could get this so much. I’m gonna be getting an OLED soon, but my sister’s coming for her birthday around this time and I’m not gonna be able to get the special edition. I really like how the white looks, but it still hurts knowing I can’t get this when it’s back in stock

    I’ll just throw some thoughts I have here from the one I have:

    – The Joycons look great, but I found the feel of these joycons to be a bit different compared to joycons I’ve used in the past (which isn’t many: just the original grey and my brother’s pink/green and orange/purple set). It feels like it has a bit more texture than previous ones (my brother is extremely picky about his orange/purple ones so they aren’t as used/worn as my grey ones). I don’t want that to sound like it’s a bad thing – they are definitely more grippy – but I will note that even if I wash my hands and pickup those joycons, I leave oil marks within a couple minutes.

    – I wasn’t aware of this and it disappointed me that the dock’s front plate with the legendries is a gloss finish. As anyone that has had glossy plastic knows: looks amazing at first but then looks horrible as the years pass.

    – I just saw [another reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/114kzhf/my_switch_oled_has_a_green_tint_issue_and/) mentioning OLED has a slight green tint on the screen issue. I just checked and mine has a slight green hue showing at the 5%, 25% and 40% brightness. The 5% is definitely noticeable but nothing horrible – that reddit post video was way worse than mine – but worth noting because I didn’t know before today: I keep mine almost exclusively docked.

    – The OLED switch fits into a normal switch dock fine, but it’s a bit tighter and with the painted backside, I’d be concerned it would scratch the paint off after an amount of time. *the OLED dock has plenty of room, this is just the previous dock if you were planning on using it in some secondary location.

    ​

    Overall I’m extremely happy with the switch; the only disappointing thing to me was the glossy dock, but it is at least painted white which doesn’t show scratches as much as darker colors. I just look at my Wii and think: “ugh, someday the dock is going to look like this.” But these are some nitpicks I noticed and wanted to share so people interested know some smaller details that might help their decision.

    ​

    And if you’re interested in just the dock: I’d keep an eye on nintendo’s refurbished store. I’ve seen limited edition docks pop up before (including the mario red dock). So it might be worth checking in occasionally.

    If you like the joycons and willing to risk to reshell a pair you have: you can search around ebay or aliexpress and find case replacements. I will note there are a number of risks (both from possibly breaking your joycons or seller selling defective shells or the color is off a bit). I’d recommend Ebay just for some buyer’s protection. I also found some people selling the joycons on etsy, but the few I found are really expensive.

    I didn’t see stock available on Gamestop yet so I checked Slickdeals and it had an Ebay link for the Japanese edition (using the PRESDAY20 code) for $327: [https://slickdeals.net/f/16460632-nintendo-switch-oled-model-pok-mon-scarlet-violet-edition-japanese-edition-region-free-327-20-free-shipping?src=category_page](https://slickdeals.net/f/16460632-nintendo-switch-oled-model-pok-mon-scarlet-violet-edition-japanese-edition-region-free-327-20-free-shipping?src=category_page)

    I think the Japanese power adapter is the same as US (but please verify).

    For anyone that plays A LOT of tabletop/handheld & want to get it this time around..it’s a great pickup! 👍🏽

    Can’t believe this shit doesn’t come with an actual Pokemon game or voucher.

    Times sure have changed from the Pikachu Gameboy color.
