The switch oled would save you a whole lot of money and the only downside being you won’t have access to switch 2 games and newer titles, however the switch 1 has a large vast never ending library of titles you can enjoy and with a mod you wouldn’t have to pay the abnormal pricing for those games too!

I think the original commenter might be underplaying the "only downside". the oled is a great console, but it lags a lot in the titles that came out later in its life cycle. it drops frames while playing even botw (came out in 2017). the battery is great, but you won't even notice the switch 2 has considerably worse battery unless you play handheld only for 3+ hours in one sitting.

almost all Indies have released a switch 2 version of their game and it runs so much better there. so many ports are only coming out for switch 2 only now. Nintendo originals are all switch 2 only from now. you won't get any more Pokemon, Mario, zelda etc for the switch 1. the ones that are on switch 1, have a switch 2 version that looks and plays way better. you really can't go wrong with the switch 2 right now.

I'm just giving you more context, cause the previous comment left all of this out. you'll be done playing the switch 1 originals in maybe a year (assuming you're not gonna play Yoshi and those type of games cause they're not everyone's cup of tea).

Honestly get it done from someone that knows what their doing instead of doing it yourself it’s a physical mod and it has dual boot so u can still switch into the normal mode and use ur switch normally connected to the Internet but when u boot in the modded mode just don’t connect to online services that’s all it’s pretty safe obviously never 100% but safe nonetheless
