A perfect little system!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Blurple Is My Favorite Color
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned a Switch since the day of its release. I’m a big fan of the console and the list of available games to play is a mile long. I initially didn’t have any interest in the Switch Light since I had the normal Switch. The original pastel colors of the Switch Light also kind of kept me away. This new blue color made me change my mind. My current Switch rarely leaves the dock, so I figured I can get the Switch Light for traveling and on the go. The blue color is definitely blue but it has a purple-ish hue in a lower light setting. Purple is my favorite color. The biggest advantage the Switch Light has over the Switch is the D-pad. Playing older games is much more enjoyable with an actual D-pad. The original Switch uses individual buttons as the D-pad. Build quality also seems to be more solid than the original Switch since the Light is a one piece solid unit. It would be a much better option for small humans. If you already have a Switch and are looking for a second one to play on the go I highly recommend it. If you want to be able to play games up on your big screen then you will have to shell out a little more dough for the original Switch. The Switch Light has no way of sending video out. You can’t go wrong with either choice, but if you decide to get a Switch Light I would definitely go with the blurple one.

Great switch for kids
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this switch lite for my daughter as a graduation present and she loves it! The size, the color, the game selection is great for her! She really loves it! For kids it’s $100 less than the regular one that we have at hone and it’s more portable! easy recommendation for parents with a switch in their house already! We also got clubhouse games with it which is perfect!

Blue Is Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I've had my blue switch lite for over a week now and I love it. I thought I would be making a bad purchase since the oled has the better screen and upgrades and this is my first switch but I don't regret it. I'm constantly playing metroid dread and its great. I can get about 2 three hour gaming sessions before having to charge it. I do have the screen brightness a little below 50% to get that extra preciousinutes out of the battery. The blue color looks the best, in my opinion, compared to the others. What I really like is that the lite has a dpad while the other models do not. All you need is a screen protector, a case and micro SD card and you good to go. The portability is fantastic and there are accessories that can help with charging away from home. If you can't get your hands on an oled get a lite. You ll save yourself $150 and you can use that to buy a couple of games or a a game and some accessories.

"This little lite of mine...."
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You may be on the fence about what version of the Nintendo Switch to pick up. If you play mostly on the TV, the regular model Nintendo Switch may be your best choice. But if you typically play most of the time in handheld only mode, the Nintendo Switch Lite may be just the right fit for you. Let me be honest and tell you that I have both models, the regular model as well as the lite model at the current time and actually prefer to use the lite more. Not only is it more comfortable to use in handheld mode given that it is one piece, but the overall build quality is much better as well. Of course the regular model of the Switch is more versatile in the way you can change the joycons to suit your mood at the time or add a traditional D-Pad for old school gaming. The lite on the other hand already has its controller permanently attached to the unit which makes it feel more stable and secure when playing in handheld mode, but is also has a traditional D-Pad built in which is different from the the four quadrant design of the regular model Switch joycon design. I really like the turquoise color of this system and it reminds me of earlier handheld consoles like the Gameboy Color and SP models that I used to play in my younger days. Just think about how you typically play games like this and whether the TV functionality of the regular model is something you would use on a regular basis, or do you play your games handheld all the time. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to have both models either.

Switch Lite is the perfect gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect for handheld gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a perfect gaming console for handheld gaming. If you want to play on your TV the original switch is a better option. However, the option to upgrade storage capacity and being able to play any nintendo game on the go at a lower price point is perfect.

Great travel companion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).

A great addition to have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Bought this just to play Animal Crossing!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I‘ve been wanting to play the new animal crossing new horizons game and after being on lockdown from the coronavirus this was the perfect time to invest in one! I preordered the coral Nintendo Switch lite And I just got it today and I love it so much! I originally wanted the original switch but they’re sold out everywhere! I’m usually on the go a lot anyway and I will be playing games in my hands instead of on the tv. So this device is perfect for me! But I have been thinking if the original switch does come back in stock I want to get one just so I have the option to play multiplayer games and to connect on the tv. And I buy only the physical game instead of digital so it will be easier to switch counsels.

Very good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a wonderful console. I do kind of wish I bought the pink one instead, though! It's portable and easy to use for small hands. It's also more affordable than the other models. I have a regular Switch with a cracked screen, so I can always use that one in the dock to game on the TV, but I prefer to use this one for the mobility.

I LOVE IT!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has a sleek, integrated design with built-in controls, making it easy to take on the go. Super great for solo gaming and has a solid library of games available. However, it lacks the ability to connect to a TV and doesn't have detachable Joy-Con controllers, limiting multiplayer options. Overall, it's an excellent choice for gamers who prioritize portability and solo play.

Nintendo Switch Lite - Grey review by LakituBros
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

It’s so amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got my switch lite! I had to pre-order for this color.i ordered it March 31st and it came in today on April 3rd. I picked the free shipping option and it came 4 days early!They sent me frequent emails to keep me updated on my order. The system itself is great and I love the matte finish because it doesn’t leave fingerprints. I usually play games on portable systems so this switch is perfect for me! I would recommend it to anyone that plays games primarily on handheld devices. I really appreciate the rapid shipping and updates from Best Buy. This will definitely keep me occupied while I’m staying at home all the time. I would definitely reorder from Best Buy again!
