About the Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED
The Switch and the Switch OLED are the hybrid models: in the dock on the TV, out of the dock in your hands, with detachable Joy-Cons for local multiplayer. The OLED has the larger 7-inch screen with deeper colours and a wide adjustable kickstand; the regular Switch a 6.2-inch LCD. The games, Joy-Cons and dock are the same. Every console here is tested on the screen, both Joy-Cons for drift and connection, the dock’s HDMI output, the battery and charging, and the listing says exactly which Joy-Cons, dock and cables come with it. Sent from the Netherlands, tracked, with no customs charges anywhere in the EU.

The three versions of the regular Switch
Same games, same Joy-Cons, same dock. The differences are battery and screen.
- Switch (2017, HAC-001): 6.2-inch LCD, 32 GB, 2.5 to 6.5 hours of battery. Sold in the grey box.
- Switch revision (2019, HAC-001(-01)): the same console with a more efficient chip — 4.5 to 9 hours. Sold in the red box; serial numbers start with XKW.
- Switch OLED (2021, HEG-001): 7-inch OLED screen, 64 GB, better speakers, a wide adjustable kickstand and a dock with a wired LAN port; the same battery life as the 2019 revision.
Colours and editions
The regular Switch came with grey or neon red and blue Joy-Cons; the OLED in white and in neon. Nintendo also released printed editions on the console and dock: the Pikachu and Eevee edition with Pokémon Let’s Go, the Splatoon 3, Scarlet and Violet and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom editions of the OLED, and the Mario Red edition. An edition is the same hardware in a different shell; which one a console is, is in its listing, with photos.
What to check on a used Switch
Joy-Con drift is the best-known fault: a stick that moves by itself. We test both Joy-Cons in the calibration menu and on their connection to the console. Then the screen (scratches from sliding in and out of the dock), the rails the Joy-Cons slide into, the kickstand on the back (on the 2017 model a narrow plastic flap that breaks easily), the dock with its HDMI output and the battery. Everything we find is in the listing.
Your account, your games
Switch cartridges are region-free and not tied to an account: a second-hand game works straight away, with no code. On a second-hand console you sign in with your own Nintendo account; a previous owner’s digital purchases belong to their account and do not come with the hardware. Nearly all Switch 1 games also run on the Switch 2. The Switch, Pokémon Switch and Switch Lite pages are linked in the Keep browsing row below.
Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite?
Three models, one library. The difference is the screen and whether it goes on the TV.
Nintendo Switch OLED · 2021
7-inch OLED · wide kickstand · TV dock
The best screen of the family: deeper colours, a larger 7-inch panel and a wide adjustable kickstand. Same Joy-Cons, same dock, same games as the regular Switch.
Nintendo Switch · 2017
6.2-inch LCD · detachable Joy-Cons · TV dock
The original hybrid: play on the TV through the dock or take it with you. Special editions such as the Pikachu & Eevee console are the same hardware in a different shell.
Nintendo Switch Lite · 2019
Handheld only · lighter · cheaper
One piece, no detachable Joy-Cons and no TV mode. If you only ever play in your hands it is the cheaper way in — it has its own page.
- Joy-Con drift and dock tested
- Both Joy-Cons are checked for stick drift and pairing, the dock for its HDMI output. What is included — Joy-Cons, dock, cables — is in the listing.
- Region-free, no account lock
- Every Switch cartridge plays on every Switch, and nearly all Switch 1 games run on the Switch 2 as well.
- Tracked EU shipping, 30-day returns
- Sent from the Netherlands — no customs charges anywhere in the EU.
What is the difference between the Switch and the Switch OLED?
The screen and the stand. The OLED has a 7-inch OLED panel with deeper colours and a wide adjustable kickstand; the regular Switch has a 6.2-inch LCD. Games, Joy-Cons and the dock are the same, and both play on the TV.
Does a used Switch play every Switch game?
Yes. Switch cartridges are region-free and not tied to an account, so a European console plays American and Japanese cartridges too — and nearly all Switch 1 games run on the Switch 2.
What do you test on a used Switch?
The screen, both Joy-Cons for drift and connection, the dock with its HDMI output, the battery and charging. The listing states which Joy-Cons, dock and cables are included.
What does shipping to my country cost?
We ship tracked to all 27 EU countries. A console travels as a parcel: €21,95 to Germany, France, Italy and Spain, €23,95 to Denmark and Austria, €28,95 to Sweden. The exact rate for your country appears at checkout before you pay — and there are no customs charges anywhere inside the EU.
Shipped from the Netherlands
- Your order leaves our own stock in Enter, the Netherlands, and travels to you with PostNL — always tracked, so you know exactly where your parcel is.
- There are no customs borders inside the EU: no customs, no import duties, no extra VAT. The amount you see at checkout is the final amount.
We ship exclusively from the Netherlands. Your parcel therefore crosses a border: it takes longer than a domestic delivery, and shipping costs more than it would at a seller in your own country.
I hope Gameshop Enter gives you back a piece of how it used to be.
