Is the Nintendo Switch OLED still worth it if Switch 2 is out?

Yes — the Nintendo Switch OLED can still be worth buying after Switch 2, but only if the price is right. Typical street pricing is about $260–$330 new for Switch OLED, while used units usually land around $180–$240 depending on condition and accessories. Switch 2 is the better buy at full retail, but the OLED is a strong value if you want the best handheld screen and can save roughly $80–$150+ versus Switch 2.

A good deal on a new Switch OLED is $260 or less; for used, I’d look for $200 or less in clean condition. I’d walk away from a new OLED if it’s over about $330 unless it includes extras you actually want.

If you’re buying your first Nintendo system, get Switch 2 for the longer runway, stronger performance, and newer games. If you mostly play handheld and care more about the display than raw power, Switch OLED is still the better-feeling portable console. Prices change fast, so check sold/completed listings before buying.
