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.

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.

I’m a 50 yo woman and consider myself a casual (and cozy) gamer. When I don’t want to be tied to a TV or computer, this Switch is perfect. It’s lightweight, fits into any bag, and easily allows me to find, download, and play the games I love. If you travel, like to sit outside, or just want a distraction during an oil change or pedicure, it’s worth the purchase!

My kids are obsessed. Lightweight, portable, and doesn’t drain as fast as I expected. Coral color is vibrant and fun. Great for car rides and keeping things quiet when you need 10 minutes of peace.

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!

I picked up the Nintendo Switch Lite from Best Buy a little while ago and it’s honestly become my go to gaming device. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and way easier to toss in a bag than the regular Switch. The built in controls feel solid, and the smaller size actually makes longer play sessions more comfortable for me. The screen is bright and clear, and games like Mario Kart, Pokémon, and Zelda all run super smooth. Battery life has been good for my use, usually a few hours of play before I need to charge it. I mainly use it in handheld mode anyway, so not being able to dock it to a TV doesn’t bother me, but that’s something to keep in mind if you want that feature. Storage fills up quick if you download a lot of games, so I’d recommend grabbing a microSD card too. Overall, if you’re looking for a dedicated handheld system and don’t care about playing on a TV, the Switch Lite is an awesome buy. Great price, tons of games, and perfect for traveling, chilling in bed, or gaming on the couch.

Great product. Super lightweight. You can play all your old retro games from nintenedo, super nintendo all the way up to game cube. It plays all switch handheld games. So convenient to carry along with you as it fits in your back pocket or small hand bag. Batterie life is great. Come in various colors, which is fun. It has bluetooth audio tech, also you can connect in 3.5 audio jack for wired sound. Micro sd card slot is convenient and simple to install. You can even watch you tube! You wont leave home without it!

The Nintendo Switch Lite is a slimmer, less expensive version of the standard Switch and one of the best handheld game systems to date.

This is my 3rd Switch and I have to say that it's the most comfortable handheld version Nintendo has. The picture quality is crisp and vivid. The battery life is comparable. Very portable with a solid construction.

cute color, very light, does everything i need it to. only complaint is that the device storage is very low, but you can easily purchase an external memory card which fixes this.

Bought this my Gf as she found the original switch too big. And this one is perfect. I’m even a little envious. It’s difficult to explain but it genuinely feels better to hold. The textured plastic used, the buttons all make it feel sturdier but I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise considering the joy-cons aren’t removable. The smaller screen isn’t an issue, and I would highly recommend this one for gamers with small hands. It has the same performance tech as the other switches just without the ability to switch to a TV. That said, if you really need the dock/TV playability, then go for the OLED or original. Great purchase, recommend!

The cutest thing ever! I love the color, and I use it all the time. It’s just so convenient how portable it is, and you can decorate it so cutely!

My Nintendo switch lite from Best Buy is a very pleasing and top tier purchase, it arrived a day earlier than expected and this company updated me very adequately while my package was in transit and on the way. I would recommend purchasing from Best Buy to anyone I know.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is the ultimate companion for gaming on the go. Its compact, lightweight design feels incredibly comfortable to hold for hours, and the unibody construction is sturdy and durable. The addition of a proper D-pad is a fantastic improvement for fans of platformers and retro titles. While it sacrifices TV connectivity, the enhanced portability and vibrant screen make it a perfect, dedicated handheld. For anyone who primarily plays away from home or wants a more travel-friendly option this is great.

I just had to get this, I wanted to experience those childhood games you would play on the wii or ds and this is perfect! I love all the features it has and it is has pretty good quality. I would definitely recommend for your kids or even adults who want to get that same childhood experience!! My favorite games to play are SuperSmash bros, Animal crossing, and Legend of Zelda and with this Nintendo switch they are all 10/10!!!

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!

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 love the size of the switch lite. It doesn’t feel too big and is the perfect size for me. The screen size isn’t too far off from the Switch. I absolutely love the color! I love that it is touch screen and love that it displays all of your games on the home screen. The only con I have about this is the device gets hot when it is being used for a while but it is understandable since it’s a gaming console

I love this switch. I bought 1 each for my 2 daughters. It’s perfect size for them. Lightweight, long lasting battery and it’s just great to have. It’s definitely keeping them occupied during this pandemic. Id recommend getting one and setting up the parental control app to see their activity on it.

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.
