Poor Swap Lite. Though Nintendo’s smaller, budget-friendly handheld actually has its viewers, there is no doubt in our thoughts that it pales compared to the Swap – OLED Mannequin due to the latter’s far superior display screen.
This might effectively be a factor of the previous, although, as YouTuber and handheld specialist Taki Udon has created a prototype mod that replaces the usual LCD display screen within the Swap Lite with an OLED display screen. What’s extra, Udon has said that the mod should not price an excessive amount of to implement, with costs starting from $25-$50 primarily based on general curiosity.

Along with the OLED display screen, HDMI output has additionally been flagged as a possible function for the Swap Lite, although Udon has burdened that this is able to be capped at 720p, whereas the Swap and Swap – OLED Mannequin can output to 1080p when paired with Nintendo’s official dock.
Nonetheless, the display screen itself sounds greater than sufficient for us. We have been quietly hoping and praying that Nintendo would launch its personal ‘Swap Lite OLED’ for a while, however alas, our hopes are starting to fade with every passing yr. We love the smaller format of the Swap Lite, however going from an OLED display screen again to an LCD display screen is usually a tricky capsule to swallow.
What do you make of this Swap Lite mod? Wouldn’t it make the console extra interesting to you? Tell us your ideas with a remark down under.
