(Image credit: Future) The Mario Kart 8 Nintendo Switch OLED bundle has been doing the rounds for weeks now, launching well ahead of last month’s Black Friday offers and holding firm on the shelves since then. November’s big sale actually gave us a brand new record-low price on the handheld, though, dropping the full bundle down to $299.99 before quickly jumping back up the scale. I’ve had a suspicion those kinds of Nintendo Switch deals might return before the holidays, and my hunt has finally paid off this week. Woot is an Amazon-owned company, which means Prime members can enjoy free standard shipping. There’s a catch here, though. Right now, estimated delivery runs between December 30 and January 2 - so you might need an IOU under the tree if you’re after one of thebest gifts for gamersout there. Buy it if: ✅You want to play mostly in handheld mode✅You want to play the current generation catalog✅You prioritize a high quality display Don’t buy it if: ❌ You want to play mostly in docked mode View Deal View Deal View Deal Should you buy the Nintendo Switch OLED? (Image credit: Future) If you’re new to the system entirely, things get a little more complicated. Yes, there will be a new device coming in a few months time - but in all likelihood it will cost more than the Switch OLED and will still be used to play current-generation titles until its own library is more substantial. Analysts currently predict that the Switch 2 will cost between $400 and $500 - if you just want to catch up on Ninty’s library it’s well worth diving in while offers are available. As for whether you opt for a Switch OLED or a standard edition model? I have one question for you: do you want to play in handheld mode or docked mode? If the former, then you’ll be fully getting your money’s worth out of that crisp OLED panel. I’m in this camp and haven’t looked back since upgrading to the larger display when the new system first released. It’s that extra spark of vibrancy that helps games shine, and it works wonders for making everything feel just that little bit more immersive. You’ll also get a slightly better battery life thanks to that more efficient screen - and some extra storage under the hood (though you’ll still need a Nintendo Switch SD card). If you only plan on playing in docked mode, the cheaper standard edition console is for you. You’re not missing anything in terms of performance (they run exactly the same when connected to a TV) but you’re not paying for a handheld display technology you won’t use.
