The first-ever unboxing of the Nintendo Switch OLED Edition has been posted by the popular Japanese YouTuber Hikaru Kaihatsu, also known as HikakinTV.
This is the first real in-depth look at the new system as Kaihatsu compares the size of the system to the original model, and also shows off the snazzy-looking new dock. Past all that, Kaihatsu even provides a look at various games running on the Nintendo Switch OLED, including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2. You can watch the entire unboxing video down below, although keep in mind it’s entirely in Japanese.
