Whats Included
  • AC adapter
  • Nintendo Switch Lite

Q: What is the difference between Nintendo switch and switch lite?

A: The Switch Lite has a 5.5 inch screen while the Switch has a 6.2 inch screen. In addition, the joy cons are integrated into the Switch Lite and are not removable. You can add additional Joy cons if you want though. The Switch Lite also lacks a kick stand as well. The biggest lost feature is the Switch Lite can not connected to the TV and it does not include a Dock either. You can only play games on the Switch Lite itself. Since the joy cons are not removable, it makes replacing them more difficult when experiencing issues and if you need the Joy cons repaired, you are without the system itself. Everything else such as memory card support, internal storage, amiibo, and game support is still supported. Also, one more thing. Due to the recent update of the new Switch revision, the battery life on the new Switch model is better than the Switch Lite as well.

Q: Will the Nintendo switch lite be able to work with animal crossing: new horizons?

A: I think it’s safe to assume all games, especially first party games, will be fully playable on lites going forward.

Q: How much built-in memory does it have?

A: 32GB, has a memory card slot to expand up to 1TB.

Q: Will kids still be able to play fortnight on this switch console? Will all switch games work on this console?

A: Yes fortnite can be played on the switch lite. There are a few games that won't be playable but most will be. Keep in mind this system is best for a person who mainly plays by themselves or with people who already have a switch. If you want a system for kids to play together in the same room you should consider the regular 299$ switch.

Q: Can I connect it with my t.v using the Nintendo switch's dock

A: No, unfortunately this model only works in handheld mode.

Q: Can you use this without the switch console?

A: Yes, it is a smaller version of the switch so it's an independent console

Q: Can the Switch Lite go on websites and does it have apps like Youtube, Netflix, etc.? Also with the expandable memory card, can you watch movies on it? Thanks.

A: It can only access YouTube and hulu. Nintendo was focused on making a game console first soi it doesn't have many of the internet features or apps like a phone or tablet. You also can't put movies on the sd card.

Q: Is the screen on the Switch Lite the same size as the Nintendo DS?

A: The Nintendo DS Lite has a screen size of 3.12 inches for the top screen with a resolution of 256x192. The Switch Lite has a screen size of 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1280x720.

    Switch Lite is the perfect gift

    I gifted this to my significant other and it is perfect for playing cozy games together on the couch, it has been used almost every night since we bought it! The storage isn’t great but micro SD cards are not very expensive. It is the perfect size for travel and it feels very nice and durable.

    A perfect little system!

    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.

    Nintendo Switch Lite - Grey review by LakituBros

    Going on vacation? If your taking the family You might need to stop by Best Buy for something to keep the kids busy - like the Nintendo Switch Lite! Lightweight and small size makes the Switch Lite the easiest way to play on-the-go. Shhhh! Keep it a secret while you play your favorite Nintendo Switch games in this inconspicuous dark grey color option and without lugging the size of the original. I always refer to the Lite when we I am out of the house; With its smaller size and more portable than the original - at nearly half the weight - makes carrying everything else so much easier. It’s the first thing I reach for before heading out. Plus the thing just feels right in the hands. If you don’t have one, get one! There’s was no question whether to buy it; we’ll worth it.
