If Nintendo made a limited edition Switch OLED Model for BOTW2, would y'all cave in and buy it?

[IDontBeatGames]

As we know, Nintendo's no stranger to make limited edition Switch Models. They've done it in the past for games like Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter Rise prior to the Nintendo Switch OLED Model. And with the SWOLED Model, they've already made a limited edition SWOLED Model for Splatoon 3 and are continuing this effort (or tradition?) with Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet's release as well.

Now, I know a lot of people here are hesitant or against upgrading to a Switch OLED Model, understandably so, due to the lack of performance enhancements. However, I also know that a lot of people are incredibly hyped for BOTW2 as well. So, my question is, would Nintendo making a limited edition SWOLED Model for BOTW2 that's well designed actually be enough to get you to upgrade to SWOLED Model despite it's lack of performance enhancements?

 

[Ambient]

I play docked so zero reason to get an OLED regardless of edition.

 

[BasilZero]

No.

 

[Pyccko]

if it had a better design than either of those two in the OP maybe

 

[Belphegor]

They'll probably have to make a special OLED edition if TotK is over 16GB.

 

[MarcyPoos]

I have the Splatoon 3 Switch and it's glorious in person.

 

[F34R]

It would have to be a NEW upgraded console. More powerful. I'm not buying any more old tech Switch consoles.

 

[魑魅魍魎]

Yes I probably would if i had the money. More than likely i will not due to low funds.

 

[Aurica]

TOTK*

And no.

 

[Iolo]

Yes, if it was a Switch 2 and I got a trade in of $100 for Switch 1.

 

[Chaosblade]

Who are these people buying limited edition consoles for games they are hyped for? I wish I had that kind of money.

Don't think I've ever bought a system refresh I didn't at least somewhat regret. Switch would not change that.

 

[Rhaknar]

no i already own a OLED switch

 

[Kazer]

No.

 

[Kyzer]

Love my regular white OLED (hugeeee difference in handheld mode), so it would have to be so damn sexy that I feel compelled to trade it in

 

[Cronogear]

No.

Because I already bought the white one.

 

[Lotus]

It's too late for me since I bought an OLED Switch.

That said, if I didn't already own one, I'd be copping the Pokémon one instead. As for a BOTW one, buying something that isn't Switch Pro/Switch 2 in 2023 would officially be playing myself at that point IMO

You'd be shocked, these limited edition SWOLEDs be selling out lmao

 

[Shad]

I voted no. I already caved and got the Splatoon model *and* pre-ordered the Scarlet/Violet model (I was honestly going to pass on the Splatoon one with the hopes they'd announce a Pokemon one, but my husband talked me into it). I don't think my love of Zelda is great enough to go for a 3rd OLED.

My husband, however, is a huge fan, so chances are it would end up in the house anyway.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

No I have no use for the OLED since my Switch is 100% used in the dock. I won't be buying new Nintendo hardware until a Switch 2 or Pro or whatever.

 

[Keyouta]

I already have a Switch.

So, no.

Yeah good point also

 

[Green]

No. They'll most definitely do joycons though... Might be cool

 

[Conrad Link]

I have no interest in the OLED, but if they made it gold...

I'd even take just some gold joycons.

There's been a real lack of gold stuff since the Wii days, it was my go-to fav colour for console things! :(

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Yes.

Bought every single Zelda console Nintendo has released since the 3DS debuted. It's a weakness.

 

[kikuchiyo]

I always regretted growing up not getting special editions GBAs and what not, so if the design is good I'll spring for a special edition.

Got two of the Splatoon OLEDs, one to rock, one to stock.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

The splattijn system is so nice. If they made gold joy cons and a gold dock, yeah I might

 

[Soapbox Killer]

What do you mean by "if?"


It's a stone cold mortal lock.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

I see. We are still calling it BotW2. Interesting.

I feel the same way but again, it's Nintendo, they make weird decisions all of the time lmao

Been doing it for so long, it's still a habit I'm trying to break my bad lol

 

[Danby]

They always do this to us so late in the game. Entirely plausible.

 

[DaveB]

Maybe? I've been a Switch owner since launch so I have a ton of stuff to re-download if I change consoles (again). It's a hassle.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Didn't do it for Dread, not doing it for TotK.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

HOWEVER,

I am in the camp of people who say "New Zelda = New switch" soi might be a no in the strictest sense.

 

[Perkin_Warbeck]

If they put out a Lite OLED, a Zelda version might push me over the edge into buying it. I won't buy another big Switch though.

 

[danhz]

I own a 2017 model, and the battery is getting worse and worse. I have been thinking about getting an OLED since I play 100% portable and I was thinking to buy a Pokemon one, but..maybe a Zelda one is even better, since pokemon doesn't really hype me.

 

[Otheradam]

They will 100% make a Zelda one when that game hits. Depends on the design. I like the Splatoon one but really don't like the Pokemon one.

 

[CloseTalker]

They'll never top the Animal Crossing Switch they designed, so no

 

[ghibli99]

I almost bought the Splatoon 3 one and I'm not even a big fan of the series. I just really liked what they did with it. Pokemon one is meh. I already have the Skyward Sword Joy-Cons... if they put in a good effort on a TotK Switch, I'd certainly be tempted.

 

[TechnoSyndrome]

what do you mean if

 

[Trike]

No, I'd hold out for a new iteration of the switch vs what's mostly just an oled update. Though those examples are pretty striking so I'd probably be tempted.

I'd probably break for a retro themed one as I am a fool.

 

[raketenrolf]

Most definitely. Buy most Zelda LEs. Zelda is my favorite franchise of all time, that's why.

 

[El Crono]

I'm pretty sure we're close to a Switch 2 announcement, and even if that isn't the case, I'm not considering upgrading to the OLED screen since I mostly play docked.

 

[Dwebble]

I'm this close to going for that Pokémon one, so no, probably not.

 

[PenultimateFantasy]

No more hardware purchases from Nintendo until Switch 2

 

[ZeroDS]

I might but there's always that ghost of the switch pro/2

 

[AniHawk]

i don't have an oled switch, and i have some limited edition zelda systems (wii u and 3ds xl). sure, why not.

 

[Meelow]

BOTW2? What month and year are we in? Pre-September 13th 2022?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Buying a new switch in the year of our lord 2023? Lol no

 

[sirap]

My launch Switch does need replacing but I probably won't upgrade witthout a spec bump.

 

[Fanuilos]

Probably not, but I'd buy some TotK joy-cons.
