The first Switch OLED unboxing has emerged from popular Japanese YouTuber Hikaru Kaihatsu (HikakinTV). Even though the system is still a couple of weeks out, he managed to secure an early unit from Nintendo.

The video actually manages to go beyond a standard unboxing. While HikakinTV clearly shows all of the contents inside including the updated dock (which looks pretty snazzy), we’re then able to see a little bit of gameplay with some titles shown on the new screen – namely Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Minecraft, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2.

Here’s the full unboxing video for the Switch OLED as posted by HikakinTV today:
