    Q: Is this compatible with the switch lite?

    A: Yes I actually bought it for that device and it works.

    Q: Can you play with friends online

    A: No, it’s a self first person perspective.

    Q: How easy is it to play? Could a 4 yr old play this?

    A: It really depends on the 4 year old. I would say no if ot was their first console game. Yes if they've played other games. They can probably get through the first few levels, but need help the rest of the way. You can play 2 player co op, so you can help them get through the harder parts.

    Q: Can u play Donkey Kong on the Nintendo switch lite?

    A: Yes, all Nintendo game carts are compatible with the Nintendo Lite.

    Q: Does it have mini games?

    A: Yes it does

    Q: Why are physical copies cheaper than digital ones.... The reason for my question is I am from egypt n I'm sending a friend to collect the game cartridge and send it back to me in egypt I'm afraid I misunderstood the differencet between phys. N digital.

    A: I don’t think there is an exact reason for it. It’s always been like that for many games. Even movies you can purchase as digital seem to still be pricey. I personally just got with physical.
