How to pre-order a Nintendo Switch OLED: UK price

[tracym]

In 2019, rumours of a new, beefed-up Nintendo Switch pro had begun making the rounds on the internet. There were whispers that Nintendo was developing new components for an upgraded Switch console. The Nintendo Switch pro, as the fans dubbed it, would get 4K support and a 1080p screen, the reports said, and it would be unveiled at the E3 gaming expo in 2021.

But when Nintendo’s E3 showcase came and went, without even a whiff of any new hardware – let alone an upgraded Switch console, gamers started to give up on the rumours of the next-gen Switch ever coming true.

Au contraire. On 6 July, three weeks after E3 ended, Nintendo surprised us all by announcing the Nintendo Switch OLED console. While it isn’t exactly the sparkly new, heavily-rumoured pro console, there is still a lot to get excited about. The new OLED console features a larger screen, enhanced audio, an improved dock and an all-new colour.
