Switch 32GB Lite

I already own an OG Switch, but with Nintendo's decision to only allow one island per console for the upcoming Animal Crossing title, they were able to squeeze out a little extra money from me. I was on the fence about the Lite, but ultimately decided the turquoise version was the way to go. Transferring my save data and downloaded games were an easy enough process. Plus I'm still able to play on my original Switch, so there's no issues with swapping gameplay between the two. Battery life certainly seems better, but I tend to keep my system plugged in at all times, so it's a bit of a moot point with me. Graphically I think games look better on the Lite than in handheld mode on the full-size Switch, which is definitely a plus. The only potential downside is if it ever gets joycon drift, since I'd have to send in the whole system. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen, lol. All in all, I'd say the Lite is definitely worth picking up...but I'd treat it more as a secondary system; I still rate the "big brother" Switch as the best one to buy.

I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch Lite and I’m extremely happy with my decision. The console is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and perfect for gaming on the go. The build quality feels solid, and the buttons and controls are very responsive, even during longer play sessions. The screen is bright and clear, making games look great whether I’m playing at home or traveling. Battery life has been impressive so far, easily lasting through multiple gaming sessions without needing a charge. Setup was quick and simple, and downloading games from the eShop was smooth and hassle-free. What I love most is how convenient the Switch Lite is—it delivers the full Nintendo experience in a compact, portable design. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys handheld gaming or wants a console that fits easily into their daily routine. Overall, this is an excellent value for the price, and I would absolutely recommend the Nintendo Switch Lite to gamers of all ages. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

The system is great for those on the go that want the better battery life and great games. I’ve got a launch console and purchased this with the intent of keeping this as the “primary” console and my original one as my home console. In case you’re wondering the differences are as follows: -screen and console are smaller in size and weight -battery is longer lasting -joy-cons aren’t detachable, they’re built into the system, which means no HD rumble, no IR sensor either -no kickstand -not able to be docked, this is a portable only system, but it runs the entire switch library as long as it doesn’t require the system to be docked -$100 cheaper That said, if this is a travel only supplement or you never play your system docked, this is the Switch for you. If you need the “switch” part of the switch, and want the freedom to detach the controllers and play the game on a tv, then buy the larger version (just make sure it’s the all red box version as that’s the one with the new battery and more efficient chipset like the lite).

I purchased a Nintendo switch when it came out and unfortunately it bricked on me near the start of Covid19, however I did not want to purchase another one for the hope of getting it fixed later on. When I finally gave in to buying the switch lite it was sold out everywhere, so I kept checking back and finally it was restocked and bought it! I'm loving it so far, I have small hands so holding it feels much better than the regular switch since it's a bit bigger. Funny thing was that my regular switch turned back on the day I received the switch lite lol so now I have two, but for now I've been using the lite because it feels much better in my opinion. If you don't ever want to play on the tv then this switch is for you.

I debated about getting either the regular switch or the Lite. I figured that I’d spend more time on handheld play anyway and I could save $100 going for the Lite, so that’s what I chose. The turquoise color looks amazing in person and the console is a super comfortable texture to hold. I bought it specifically for Animal Crossing New Horizons since we’re all stuck in quarantine right now and I’ve gotta say so far I really love playing on the Switch Lite (as well as the game itself lol)
