Whilst the console isn’t the latest OLED model, there isn’t a huge difference between the original Switch and recent models in terms of specs. The main difference between the OLED is the screen itself but otherwise, whether you buy a standard Switch, Switch Lite or Switch OLED, the core and overall performance and graphical output of each game won’t change. Beyond that, there’s of course the inclusion of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a remastered version of a Wii U game that’s spent a large portion of this platform’s lifecycle in the limelight thanks to its overall quality and position as arguably the platform’s perfect party game – though Super Smash Bros I’m sure is up there for many. If you enjoy the game a lot, there’s a way to upgrade and expand its content offering thanks to a season pass of sorts in the form of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, that’s been adding new maps for the past year with still a couple of waves left to release – one that’ll be out imminently in fact; 7th December to be exact! If you plan to take this game online, you’ll of course need Nintendo Switch Online, so thanks to this bundle’s included 3-month membership for the service, you’ll be ready to go whenever you install the game and input the code.
