Modder Creates Nintendo Switch Lite OLED For Enhanced Pocket Gameplay | Retro Dodo (retrododo.com)

A modder has developed a screen kit for the Nintendo Switch Lite to enhance its portable gameplay experience with OLED technology. $50 maximum is the target price, making vivid visuals accessible without having to own both an OLED dockable console and the Lite.

Taki Udon, known for their innovative creations in the modding community, aims to fill this gap left by Nintendo’s lack of a Switch Lite with an OLED screen option. This initiative could revitalize the Nintendo portable gaming experiences, offering a more detailed and vivid visual experience directly on your Switch Lite.

Question: Do you think third-party modifications like Taki Udon's kit will influence Nintendo's future decision-making when it comes to the screens they use in their devices?

For better or worse, nothing external has ever influenced Nintendo's future decision-making!

Unless they are deciding who to sue in the future.

I wish they’d create a kit to transform the original Switch into an OLED.

The screens they use will always come down to what they can get enough of at a decent price.

You know there would have been screens that look better but use the battery up faster, or have supply issues if this one factory has a problem and they look at all that.

Oh hey look proof that Nintendo massively overcharges for shit.
