The Switch OLED bundle stands out as a solid way to play Mario Kart and other Mario games, especially in handheld use or for a kid. The OLED screen is the main draw, and the system is still described as great for simply playing games, with docked Mario play also working fine on the original Switch. The main drawback is value, since the refurbished price is close to used and even brand new bundle pricing, while the Switch 1 hardware is seen as aging and slower than Switch 2. It feels most appealing if the screen matters more than chasing newer performance.
Common Questions (4)
Switch 2 is the better long-term buy if you want newer releases, faster loading, and stronger performance. Switch OLED still makes sense if you mainly want to play Mario with a kid, prefer portable play, or want a cheaper way into the ecosystem.
It is close to the price some people have paid for brand-new OLED bundles, and refurbished units have been seen around $250 on eBay. That makes the value feel marginal unless you specifically want the OLED screen and bundled Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Yes. The OLED model is described as great for just playing Mario with your kid, and even the original non-OLED Switch is fine if you mostly play docked.
Yes. Switch 2 can load Switch 1 games faster, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe reportedly has a shorter boot wait time on it. The main tradeoff is weaker battery life for portable play.

Whether this is a good price or not I can't say as I haven't been following OLED switch prices since the 2 came out.
Though I should probably start paying attention and sell my OLED switch.
I play Disney Dreamlight Valley which lags and crashes often on Switch OLED/Switch/Switch Lite. The game devs already reduced textures so the graphics look a lot blurrier but it still runs like crap. It honestly doesn't feel like 30 fps. More like 15-20. I've also played the game on PS4 and even that works so much better than the Switch 1.
The graphics are the same on Switch 2 but the performance is much improved. It's getting a free Switch 2 update later this month and I'm looking forward to not having the blurry mess we have how.

As for a negative, battery life is probably the biggest one for Switch 2 if you play on the go. If you have a portable power bank though, recharging is easy. Its worth noting that I charge up to 80-90% for preserving the battery for the long run. Yes, there are others negatives aside from this one though.
So there it is, a pro and a con. Most posts are one sided with the scope and don't say both positives and negatives.
I'll probably buy a Switch2 in a few years if they come down in price and there's lots of used HQ games available for cheap. If not, I can live without.
