Retro Remake Launches SUPER5 OLED Upgrade Kit for Nintendo Switch Lite: Enhanced Display and Control Experience Now Available Over the past year, the modding community has eagerly followed the development of the SUPER5 OLED screen mod for the Nintendo Switch Lite, engineered by hardware specialist Taki Udon.

After months of meticulous work and testing, Udon’s company Retro Remake is officially offering OLED upgrade kits to Nintendo Switch Lite owners, empowering passionate players to dramatically boost their handheld gaming experience. The new mod kit is designed to address long-standing limitations in the original Switch Lite hardware, giving it a modern OLED display that rivals Nintendo’s own premium models.

In a recent video update, Taki Udon demonstrated the comprehensive upgrade process by not only installing the SUPER5 OLED screen into the limited edition Zelda Switch Lite, but also incorporating two significant hardware enhancements: the replacement of conventional analogue sticks with state-of-the-art hall effect joysticks and the addition of a high-capacity 5,000 mAh battery.

Together, these upgrades transform the Switch Lite into what Udon describes as the “ultimate” handheld for gaming at home or on the go, offering both a striking visual improvement and longer, more reliable play sessions. The installation of the SUPER5 OLED kit is a demanding process, requiring a near complete teardown of the Nintendo Switch Lite to carefully remove the factory screen before fitting the new OLED panel.

Retro Remake advises that the procedure is best suited to experienced modders, as additional components like the hall effect joysticks and expanded battery require further modification to the handheld’s internals.

While Udon’s new video provides an overview of the installation, those seeking an in-depth step-by-step guide are encouraged to reference his detailed walkthrough on his secondary YouTube channel. Consumers interested in the SUPER5 OLED kit can purchase it directly through the Retro Remake website.

The upgrade is available in two configurations: with touchscreen support and without touchscreen support.

Players choosing the touchscreen-compatible version should note that the installation is more complex and requires extra setup steps to ensure proper functionality. The Switch Lite has long been praised for its portable, affordable design, but criticized for lacking features standard on the flagship Nintendo Switch OLED model.

Thanks to modders like Taki Udon and innovative aftermarket solutions from Retro Remake, enthusiasts now have a practical—and visually stunning—way to modernize their consoles for the next generation of Nintendo gaming.

With the modding community’s continued passion and dedication, the boundaries of what’s possible on Nintendo’s iconic handhelds continue to expand.
