Yes, the OLED is the best version of the switch, and the one I would recommend. You can purchase the games digitally straight to the switch, however, the switch doesn't have a big internal drive, but does have expandable storage. So, you'll most likely need to buy a big micro SD card if you want a digital only library. It can do microSD cards as big as 2TBs. It has to be a "UHS-I" with transfer speeds 60 - 95 MB/sec. The faster the transfer speed, the better gameplay experience.
Get at least one physical game (preferably one that will see a lot of use) and always keep it in the console.
This is correct. I’d add one caveat, the maximum read speed of the Switch from an SD card is 104 MB/s. Buying a card any faster than that won’t be utilized on the Switch.

If you bought say The Witcher 3 digitally and had the base Switch. That's literally the only game you could store on the system without an SD card (TW3 i s~28 GB and base Switch has ~29 GB of storage). If you have the cart instead, you basically got a 'free' 28 GB of storage by just utilizing the cart.
One of the best things on TW3 is now there is a decent cross save system that works between all platforms. So if you have all the same content (DLCs and such) you can play the Xbox version at home and then move right over to the Switch portably. I've dabbled in that since the latest update and it is fantastic. Though the game looks like garbage on the Switch on a big TV.

The Switch has one of the best discographies of games easily.
I have Eternal, actually. I didn't play it much because I suck, but it ran fine and it was a good game.
I didn't grab Eternal, but have 2016 and it is a low resolution 30fps version, but yeah if you have reasonable expectations, it actually works. Same with Wolfenstein.
I was thinking the same thing. I even transferred my Xbox save to steam already. Since I expect the mod scene to be pretty great as well.
Thanks, man! That's cool about the cross platform save - didn't know that. I really didn't play all TW3 all that much on xbox so I'll probably just restart on switch. I will only be playing that one remotely, not on a TV most likely. Hope it looks OK in that format.One of the best things on TW3 is now there is a decent cross save system that works between all platforms.

Both Zelda games are great. TotK is simply BotW on steroids. Both of them are mid teens on size if thats the path you're looking at. I wouldn't worry too much on storage though. A sandisk ultra 512GB is something like $40. You could technically fill that up, but odds are you won't anytime soon with Swtich game sizes. If you even have a random 128GB card laying around, that'll suffice for a while. I have a 200GB in mine that I've had since it came out, and I'm not close to full. Now I buy mostly physical, but even if I didn't I might be missing two games in total.

That's where I'd buy refurb. It may not be the cheapest, but Nintendo does a really good job with their internal refurb. Checking cheapassgamer for any new deals would also be worth a look.
That said, if you would be looking to sell it in 2-3-4 years. A special edition is not at all a bad option. Nintendo fans go nuts over them down the road. IE I bought a Majora's Mask edition 3DS when I finally got into that system. Played it for years (kept the box and shit), sold it for over 400 this past summer (I think I paid 200 or 220). Mario and Zelda special editions will be similar with the Switch.
Thanks for the advice mate, I played it very sparingly upwards to around seven hours until CD Projekt came out mentioning that you should do a new save with this new patch.
Yeah I just saw that. I guess I'll be starting a new savefile. Luckily it's been a few years, so I don't think I'll get bored with it. It really is too bad they never added new game+ option. Then my efforts wouldn't feel wasted.
