Nintendo Switch OLED Hits AliExpress as Switch 2 Launches

If you're looking for a new Nintendo Switch console (excluding the Switch 2), here's an enticing offer. AliExpress currently lists the Nintendo Switch OLED model at just $237.49 with free US shipping. The platform provides purchase protections including partial refunds for late deliveries and full refunds if items arrive damaged, go missing, or fail to deliver within 20 days.

This is an authentic, factory-sealed Nintendo Switch, though it's worth noting this is an international version. While the hardware warranty won't apply in the US, you'll benefit from a 15-day return window. Packaging may feature foreign languages, but functionally identical to US models with full region-free compatibility and English language support.

Update: Originally featured on Woot, this deal has since migrated to AliExpress with improved pricing on the imported model.

The OLED model justifies its slight price premium over standard Switch consoles with meaningful enhancements. Its vibrant OLED panel delivers superior contrast, richer colors, and sharper text readability. Though only slightly larger (7" vs 6.2"), the reduced bezels create a more immersive experience. Additional upgrades include a reinforced kickstand, docking station ethernet port, plus stylish white Joy-Cons and console trim.

Why the original Switch remains relevant post-Switch 2 launch

While Nintendo's next-gen Switch 2 has arrived, the original Switch maintains strong appeal. The newer console carries a $449.99 MSRP and currently offers limited exclusive software beyond Mario Kart World Tour ($79.99 standalone). While select titles receive Switch 2 optimizations, these incremental improvements hardly justify the significant price difference. Many gamers, including our team, recommend waiting for more compelling Switch 2 exclusives or special edition models before upgrading.
