Save some time fellas
thnx very much
@@TeamCompy thnx
Thanks mate.
Thanks bro !
Thanks
So you're telling me I bought an old model of the switch a month before they released the new ones for the same price?
Rip
i deadass bought an old model this september. how the heck did i just know of this now
jungkook's t-shirt you weren’t paying attention.
Me 2
I bought the older one after the new one released but before the store got the new one😪
I bought a switch and thankfully I got the new one without even knowing lol
same!
F to the people who bought the old model because they didnt know about the new release 😂
the old one is hackable!
I just got one for xmas. How do I know if it's a new one?
@@jacobd8813 if the box is all red it's the new one if it's in red and white it's the older version
lol, I'm 39 years old and just got a Switch from my Mom for Christmas. I haven't grown up at all! She did a really good job though, got the newest version of the full Switch instead of a Switch Lite or getting conned by someone online. My obsession with gaming goes all the way back to Christmas of '92 when she got me a Sega Genesis. Thanks Ma!
Reminds me of that story they did when the n64 sold out and they interviewed an older lady who bought one for her 35yo son's birthday😃
@Meanie Panini do you have ninjala?
Okay. So I'm not crazy. I'm going on 26 and just brought the Monster Hunter Rise Switch console. After having the Switch lite since January.
@@dfreeman13 that's a beautiful console
Your ever-giving mother is the same reason YOU never succeeded in life.

Things Nintendo didn't tell us:
A marginaly brighter & warmer screen.
New molds for the thumbsticks.
It runs at a cooler temperature.
The Craic Den thanks I wasn’t about to watch 20 minutes to find out what’s different
it really took that long to get to the point LOL
It has a better battery
@@unheck_ Nintendo announced that though
The Craic Den thank youuu
I’m almost glad I was too poor to afford the switch when it came out because I got the new model

Lucky I got mine in September 2018
same just got mine yesterday🤗
Only idiots buy any new technology as soon as it comes out always bugs to be worked out should it be a games console or a new car
2:00 good one, this guy must be a blast at parties
Such an underrated comment
You could have pretend laughed at his joke, fam.
I’m not liking the vid for this reason
I’m confused
@@SNTMadeMe same, have no clue what this was in reference to. Apparently younger me thought you should have given someone a laugh. Couple people agreed.

Differences
-------
-Brighter (True color display)
-New model handles heat better
-Control stick mold is different
-New Joy-Con internals
-Better battery life (Obviously)
ParkNoodle is that it?
ParkNoodle I feel like they might of made it harder to hack 🤷🏾♂️
I always love when console handle heat better..
oh also
> Better battery life on new switch.
Joy-cons are brand new.
The design of the sticks is the same, but the materials are better.

"Let's go ahead and switch units"
Me: hehe switching switch
say that 5 times fast.
7000 kelvin
Me: 7000 kevin
I might do that playing a lot on handheld mode for hours especially Pokémon for me is worth it and the cooling as well if I get one I’ll locally transfer then sell my old one for cash I play on tv mode more but I did 90% handheld mode before I bought a monitor for smash

Sub_Zero SwitchingSwitchSwitching SwitchSwitchingSwitchSwitching SwitchSwitchingSwitch!
There..
5:56 that’s some major stick drift
Turns out that the old switch is now selling for crazy high prices as that's hackable
Have actually been very impressed with retailers here in New Zealand. A lot of places have listed the new switch as a new product labelled "V2" with the remaining V1 consoles next to it at a lower price. A+ imo
Wow, here in germany the big shops sell the switch v2 for 320€ (what the swich orginaly released for) and the switch v1 + 35€ eshop cash for 300€. Thats like a total ripoff.
@@Blockmaster2706 That's Germany for you. I mean, we usually have to pay higher prices for pretty much everything, right? New PS4 game in UK: 39,99 GBP, in Germany: 69,99 EUR.
That's some damn fine work by those retailers OP, that's how it should always be, agreed.
HansAlRachid Yeah... no. I live in the U.K., and £39.99 hasn’t been the retail price for new games for a while now. It’s £50-60 for triple A releases
@@117Smiley Unnecessarily smug much? You apparently don't order from Shopto then. Just because Square and Activision are pushing for that price point that doesn't mean everyone does it. Also, if you want to include the extra overpricing, Germany has an equivalent there, too - 79,99 EUR.
HansAlRachid no, like the majority of U.K. consumers, I order from Amazon, or occasionally, Game. It’s not just Square and Activision either, Nintendo’s pricing often sits at £50-£60, and I just £50 for Persona 5.
I understand that you pay more for games in Germany, I’m not disputing that, but there’s no need to pretend U.K. pay £40. They don’t.
"that's a joke you don't have to"
Kevin: -
He made it so awkward for the poor guy
2nd Hand Embarrassment lol
Yeah I felt bad
That delivery tho -.-
17:10 when the vid actually starts
7:12, you should calibrate each display to be the same brightness by measuring the knits. Having both displays on max brightness puts the new switch at a disadvantage since it is outputting more light. Also do the same with the speakers, make sure they're outputting the same amount of sound.
Even though it's unknown whether Joycon Drift is fixed or not, I hope it is, I'm tired of playing games while my Joycon acts like a Mario Kart.
Yeah i literally can't even use menus with my left joycon smh.
Send it to Nintendo like I did for free lol
Mr.NeedleMouse Network how
@@mouseconcafe how long did it take?
@@SE-lf8vw ...by mail..how else??
I don't think it's enough of an upgrade for most people. I'll be still using my older version, and waiting for a much more upgraded version, if one ever comes out.
Lens Hunter it will, it’s painfully obvious
That's the point. Its replacing the old switch from now on. Not mean to be the "pro" version.
Yeah, it's good for newcomers, not so much for people already owning one
I’m mean, game stop give u $200 for a used switch so if you trade a few other things u can get a new one for free
Lens Hunter agreed. Majority of these “upgrades” are very minor, and not worth rushing to fork over ANOTHER $300 to get.
So when I went to buy one a month ago, I asked an employee which one to get and he said go with the color joy cons version, cause it's the newer version, any other one is an older version, even the game bundle version is the old one. So I'm glad I listened to him
I bought my switch a couple weeks before the new one was announced. I was so bummed that I could have just waited for better battery life. Oh well I still love my switch and don’t plan on replacing it.
I'm an old man gamer and my current switch lives its life 95% docked so I have no use to buy a new one...
Same. I think I've only played mine in hand held like a handful of times
Why not buy an xbox or a ps4?
@@alexanderwinter9171 ya lemme play Zelda on my ps4 -_-
I only go handheld when I'm in bed. Docked the rest of the time
@@alexanderwinter9171 I've been waiting a long time to play a new Fire Emblem and Pokemon on the TV
1.1k people just bought the old switch without knowing that there's already a new model..
I payed 200 for an old switch with new joycons, botw, and a battery pack today. I think thats a win guy
The Groypist where did you buy it
@@crixus_7 it was a steal of a deal from my brother.
Actually I have the new version but I can't stand stupidity so I'm here for the facts. 2019 model is identical to the original, only difference being the battery. All this nonsense about it having a better screen is simply false, and you can see those comparison videos where everyone gets different results. Ask Nintendo and they will tell you the same: there is no difference. Idiots paying more for the new version even tho they use it docked only....
1.3k*
Boom in the shot! X'D the things you can't unsee when you work in the sound department...
Thank you for your hard work putting all of these together good sir!
The performance test is flawed. He is just testing the load times and that only tests the storage. He needs to go to part of the game that has slowdown like the Korok Forest and see if it drops the frame rate as much.
They're the same SoC performance wise, so you will expect identical performance from both devices.
@@mr.kenway4554 with the shrunk SoC in the new one it might be that it can turbo higher
He also didn't open the switch. There is no new battery. The new processor just runs that much more effecient.
Well, because of the smaller node there’s is more overclock headroom for the “New Switch”
@@swankychief2937 Another reason for the increase in battery life was the new battery in the joycons.
They desperately need to add Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
Franquito T yeah. Amazon prime too small on my iPhone 6
What frustrates me is that there was literally a Netflix logo in Nintendo’s E3 direct for one of their games and Netflix is still not on Switch
@@bitbybrick1080 Netflix doesnt want to. Its just that simple
@BmoreAkuma
Sure, but they did want to put it on Nintendo’s 240p handheld and Nintendo’s biggest flop of a console.
It doesn’t make any sense that they’re not on switch, don’t they want to compete with Hulu?
BitByBrick Pretty sure Nintendo said they wanted to focus on games and not entertainment options, so Netflix not being available yet, has nothing to do with Netflix not wanting their service to be on Switch.
Awesome channel you explained a lot of things that I was wondering myself appreciate that
Thanks this helped a lot!
For once in my life, I’m glad I waited. My procrastination is finally paying off after all these years lol.
Lol me too I'm buying mine Friday
same i buying the Nintendo switch lite Zacian and Zamazenta Edition lucky i am that school is closed on the 8th
Oj Young I hope you enjoy it! 😊❤️
Natsumi Dragneel awww that’s awesome I hope you enjoy it’ 😊❤️
Courtcorny Thanks same thing to you too ❤️😊
Any new release just makes my switch more and more rare for the future
Well yes, but actually no.
Same thing i said when i bought all those death of Superman comics back in the day...
The 1st wave of switches will be worth a lot more then these new ones, however i think its because it had a physical defect that allowed it to be easily hacked with a paperclip. I am sure this model does not have that issue.
U. Aziz Did you see the joke when it flew over your head?
@@Theeinsom You can't deny that it's still a joke in the first place though. It's also seem that you're the one who need to calm down.
I've had issues with joycon drift which I managed to fix really easily with electrical contact cleaner (WD40 make some) after spraying that stuff under each thumbsticks rubber skirt I've yet to experience any drift any more. It was about a fiver and did the trick brilliantly. Totally worth giving a try before buying new joycon or sending them in for repair.
Gonna try this on my ps5 controllers 😂
@@BlvkbirdObviously this was 3 years ago... The drift did eventually come back. The contact cleaner is a good temporary fix that will sort you out for a good while, depending on the amount of drift you have and the amount of wear your controller gets. Its a good thing to have for maintenance. Isopropyl alcohol also works... But for a long term fix you'll need to replace either the sticks or the entire controller.
Not sure about PlayStation controllers, but newer joycon seem a bit hardier (I upgraded to the OLED model which has never drifted.) And I changed the joycon sticks on my launch day switch to hall effect sticks.
U are amazing g thanks a lot, u really help me out to pick up the best switch, great job keep up the good work
It plays skyrim for longer. More chance for me to addict You! Hahahaha!

Akadius Ventura that’s hurt to watch lol but also amusing
jamesceja07 ugh I know! Haha
It's all about comedic timing, or perhaps a joke that is funny?
I missed the part where laughing indicates they thought it was funny. Maybe he was just too focused on what the differences are to be in a laughing mood.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I laughed so hard at that part😂
Woah This is first time watching any of your videos but I dont know if its your camera or the lighting in the room but you look super clear and crisp. Major different than other youtubers videos
Most Joycon stick drift is caused by poor storage; where the switch is not in protective cases; it happen to me too. I should have done this in the beginning when it 1st came out; but at that time I didn’t know better.
1:43
- "So how warm it is or how cool it is."
- "Okay, cool!"
nick how most of my convos irl go
😂👍
It doesn't have a *larger* battery, it is just much more energy efficient at computing the same tasks.
Yup.
Yep..newer version of the processor with lower power consumption. That also explains the heat difference.
Really? That's some insane optimization for it to last so much longer, cool info
magnawaves The distance between receptors in the GPU and CPU have gotten smaller, while the dimensions also have. Thus requiring less current to complete each clock cycle even though there are just as many receptors that compete exactly the same tasks. Imagine computers from the 80s, they were huge and unconventionally weak in power if used today, yet they are power beasts. A small raspberry zero W for 5 dollars has 10000 times give or take the power of some 80s computers, and it uses so little electricity that a singe USB port can power multiple of them.
This is correct. The hardware became more energy efficient, but the battery didn't change.
It's the same 4310mAh battery in both models. Only the Lite has a different (smaller) battery (3570mAh).

The only video that actually covers everything . nice job buddy
3:09 that boom Mic tho 😂🤣😂🤣
Loading a game doesn't test the processor, it would test the memory and/or disk read speed. You should have done a framerate comparison with an area that usually runs slow on the older switch. The screen test was good though. Thanks
only thingg i had issues with, when it came too this review... the whole reason for the new proccessor was to fix frame rates on games where there would be frame drops (totally not looking at breathe of the wild)
@@Paperclown i dont know? i got the new Switch, but i didnt have a switch before that.. i just think that it was weird to use the loading time to see if the new proccessor in it actually was faster... while its the the memory storage that takes care of the loading time. and i havent really heard much about the nvidia shield stuff. interesting tho.
Exactly what i thought and the reason why i scrolled through the comments ;)
Differences: battery life, heat output.
Thanks for comming to my TED talk
Blaž Bohinc Displays?
@@LaSa1 Random. The panel isnt tested thoroughly, and the internal drivers manipulate the brightness and the tone. It's a big thing, all told.
T E D t a l k
Warmer screen too
I learned so much from your video ! Seriously you must love your job!
The whole “it’s possible he joy cons will not drift” thing for me excited. So, I bought a new switch. The same week I bought it my right one drifted
Ooof
Bummer
Your interactions with each other makes me extremely anxious.
Yeah. I get the impression he didn't like his "guest" too much.
I notice that also.... Real awkward around each other. Maybe they just don't deal with humans a lot.
LOL ! Neither are used to being out of a basement and they realised they're both wearing hats indoors...
Yup
BRO OMG ME TOO, I ONLY SCROLLED DOWN TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS AS ANXIOUS AS ME
A new Cpu won't do anything to load times if the storage can't handle the read/writes
Bottled Coochie also if the the new cpu runs at the same clock speeds which they do, so one wouldn’t process info faster than the other either. Surprised they even ran that part in this comparison.
@@xcrack6364 Actually a newer cpu could still be faster at the same clock speed due to processing instructions more efficiently. Just like desktop cpu frequencies have been stagnating while their performance has continued to improve regardless.
I think in this case the previous cpu was bottlenecking the storage device. Once the cpu improves it no longer bottlenecks it resulting in faster loading speed
@@xcrack6364 I was a lot more interested in seeing the frames during heavy load to see any more efficiency there.
Yeah loading a game is not the go to test for a processor...
Soon as I seen the pebble on his arm I said "this man knows what he's talking about" lol. Very informative video !
Some people bought the old model without knowing there was a new one, I was lucky enough to buy the new model without knowing there was an old one
STFU🙄🤬
Poyraz Ünlü he has a mouth it’s not shutable come on bro if your jealous don’t comment 😂
I bought one before the new one existed
I forgot that you use Fahrenheit so I was very confused as to why the switches weren't dying completely
In tech everyone uses Celsius too. I was confused, as a American
Kelvin is used mostly by scientists.
Lol “shit pull the plug!!”
It took me a couple weeks to get used to Celsius when I was traveling Europe with a friend. It always surprised me how large a difference a few degrees made.
Almost at water boiling point
Nice. I almost picked up the old model but asked the cashier to swap for the new one last second because it slipped my mind until I saw him ringing up the wrong colored box
Do you or anyone know if the Switch model that was bundled with Smash is the improved model or the old one? Just curious.
@@SHADZA4321 I'm not sure but if it came out in the last few weeks ~ 4-6 maybe
I'm getting the switch lite
@@adoncapcom5767 Yeah mine was still $299. Where are you at where it's that much more?
Logic shut up logic 😡🤬
When I first got my switch(almost 1/2 a year after they released) after a few days my left joycon knocked something and now if you put a little too much pressure on it it’ll unlock and come off the track.
Hey. Dude. I like your videos. Tons of information, well-produced, and you're not irritating. Good in ya.
Load time is handled in great deal by the physical storage so it makes sense that you wouldnt see a major difference there.
that difference between warm and cold screens exist between some switches from the old model too... I was surprised when I noticed it playing with my friend's switch side by side.
I was thinking the same thing. They should have taken the variation in screen brightness and color shift for the old model into consideration as the differences they measured could very well be within the margin of error for those displays...
Indeed. I own 2 old Switch consoles where one has a more warm color tone and the other has a much more cool color tone.
@Calocitey Nintendo have a history of not giving a fuck about consistency regarding screens uniformity between consoles with the 3ds(Color, brightness and even panel types could differ between different consoles, some times even between the top and bottom screens.), so there's quite a good chance it's just coincidence and it is the normal difference between consoles.
@@gintokishinichi8565 don't forget the yellow screens too
@@gintokishinichi8565 Honestly it is a big enough difference to say it might have brighter leds under the screen. Did someone break it down to just the screen and look at the maker?
I might wait another year to buy one juuuust to make sure about that drift issue being fixed, and there's also the switch pro coming up, we'll see how that ends up too
Yea wait like a coward
To test the processor you don't rest load times. Load times are mostly the hard drive. Go to a highly intense or dense area. So for Zelda you'd need to go to the Forest where you get the sword. Or death mountain goron village. This yesterday the processors more that the HDD.
My switch is from launch and it's still great, hasn't warped, no cracks, battery is decent enough lasts a long time, guess I was lucky 🤔
What about joy con drift
@@SMLCensoredYTP Except that they need to revise the joycons
@Benjamin Castillo I mean you shouldn't be trying to bend your system in the first place. I just want revised joycons
Ive had 3 pairs of joycons and no drift. One started to but then it stopped by itself. So i consider myself lucky so far

You dedication to make this video so good is awesome. The detail to show how you tested each part of the Switch like using spiltscreen on the same TV, finding out the technical brightness difference and of course your presentation is on point. Great Job!
Now you can play Breath of the wild for more than 2 seconds in handheld mode!

Thank you! I appreciate the effort you put in to get such a detailed and apples to apples comparison. Now I'm just waiting for a new Special Edition to come out that I can't live without.
I love how you and Austin Evans featured the weird yet cool Switch designs. (I see you blue joy-con).
Great video!
Load times won’t change until BOTH:
- an OS upgrade happens to introduce faster over locking value frequencies for the new switch
- developers patch their games to take advantage of this feature
Remember the over locking thing Nintendo introduce to boost load times only happened two years after the Switch released.
I’m sure it will happen. But I’m not sure all games will use it since they were using the existing frequency values until now 🤷🏽♂️
Great video anyway, thanks.
Thanks for the information I'll be picking mines up on Friday
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Nintendo Switch: Has more battery life
Parental Controls: We meet again
While battery which is physically unable to let children play too much (assuming that parent has the only charger under controll) surely has some advantages I would say that parents should spend more times with their children. It not only decreases children desire for playing but is also good for raising them. Also instead of physicaly preventing children from playing too much it is better to learn them self discipline.

Wes: we're going to be looking at how warm it is and how cool it is.
Kevin: cool
An excellent and indepth analysis! Thank you for that comparison. I learned a lot and I had a lot of fun watching it!

Koroko forest comparison should have been done in BOTW for frame rate

Candle Lynx Same here, I was even more surprised that the WiiU version held a steadier frame rate than the switch when entering that area.

Thanks for making this video, it really gave me a better perspective of this new Switch upgrade! (:
Thanks for the comparison. Now I know 100% for sure that the new version, which I have, is better than the previous one. But I heard that they improved the Joy-Cons in the new 2019 version as well. Guess you've heard about the Joy-Con drift right? A wide spreaded well known problem which I didn't have. Bought my switch last year, not long ago (Oct. 2020).
Well I just bought a switch in March 2021 and I’m glad I waited as long as I did they don’t even sell the old model anymore
Kevin kenson has the best studio / apt. for doing videos. Love the layouts and background.
I'd imagine Nintendo put in a newer (more powerful) processor then clocked it down to match the performance of the old Switch so that they could enjoy lower voltage and therefore lower heat, and better battery life.
The Integra chip they have on the "old" switch is not maxed out. The issue they have is keeping the chip cool. The switch is thin and doesn't have a fan, which is bad for cooling.
@@mezcaomezcal4724 it has a fan in it lol!
Joseph DiSalvo that’s wrong, it’s the same cpu, just more power efficient, you can see the exact specs of it, it’s an nvidia tegra
@@boykogelev213 Oh, so the video is wrong saying it's a different chip.

So do i
The more i read this the more i lose my shit lmao
This is actually a staple of nintendo. I remember getting a gba sp back in the day and the screen was dim. My brother got one two years later and the build quality as well as the brightness were drastically different.
Yea that would have been from the newer gba sp being backlit whereas the original had a front light. The difference is absurd.
Thanks for making this video and thank I got my switch during Christmas season and it’s the newer version. Question where did you buy the screwdriver set? I have issues with one of my joycon’s.
I have 2 Switches. I bought the first one on release day and the second one about a year later. The release day Switch's original Joy Cons had issues with communication. If we were more than 5 or 6 feet from the console they would sometimes drop. My newer Switch doesn't do this at all. I read somewhere that the internal antenna wasn't long enough for the best communication, and Nintendo released an updated Joy Con a few months after the original run. Oh and my old Joy Cons were replaced with new ones and they no longer drift (or run-away) and the newer Switch has never had the issue, and it gets used far more than the older one.
The drift issue won’t be fixed as long as they’re using a soft material and a hard material rubbing against each other. The metal contacts rubbing on the graphite pads release powder (which is why electronics cleaner can help, it clears the powder), but grooves still happen over time, it’s not an “abuse” issue like some people claim, it’s a flaw in the design.
Deshra Dine I own 16 joy cons and I’ve never had a single drifting issue
I got drifting issue first few months but it never happened after that.
That’s likely why, you never use one long enough
So? You think being a nerd bothers me? I’m glad to be a nerd. At least I’m not a troll that has to go around trying to negatively affect someone to bring them down to my level.
Deshra Dine I’ve had my switch from launch and it’s been used by both myself and my brother for years, no issues so far, though apparently I’m in the minority
I want to see actual performance tests during gameplay, not just loading time tests.
You should find some linear games that have problem spots on the original switch, places where the frame rate reliably dips, or frames drop, or resolution is scaled lower, and see if the Switch Model 2 performs better.
D
I have a feeling that Digital Foundry would already be working on a more in-depth comparison (depending of if the revision is available to them yet).
Boyd hopefully.
My V1 Switch broke, so I bought a lite; that broke in a week so returned that and finally have a working V2 Switch with all my saves that have travelled between 3 switches
Don’t be jealous, people who have the first switch version. The second switches patched some custom stuff
Like what?
Customer stuff? What? Like the night theme?
@@MindeFlex no firmware and homebrew wise
i can confirm the joystick is improved the new one has an indentation on the base inside the housing so the stick will centre itself which will hpefully eliminate drift
Minor variations of the controller could have happened over time and we could be on version #5 for joy cons. I do wonder internally if the chips have changed at all or if just the cooling design and battery size were the only changes.
Good job!. Great Video.
