Recently, Nintendo announced a new variant for its best-selling console, the Switch. This new variant features improvements such as an OLED display, better speakers, increased storage, and even a wider stand. Despite the many improvements, Nintendo focuses on the Samsung OLED display which provides a better viewing experience for games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda, and more.

Since Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best-selling titles on the Switch, Nintendo would have surely analyzed the impact of this new console for existing titles. While the resolutions of both consoles are the same, the OLED display offers a much greater contrast in colors which will help you to appreciate the changing of seasons in a game like New Horizons much more.

A lot of the screenshots featuring upcoming seasonal items on Animal Crossing’s Twitter account are of extremely high quality. Some of these images are in 4K quality and others exceed even that. While this is still not the 4K graphics most fans of the game have wished for, the visuals of the game are progressing.
