Customer Ratings & Reviews

The switch lite is a great handheld gaming device that meets expectations. This is great for kids, casual games, and those on the go. Be advised that not all games will be offered on Switch (such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.) but there are still good games such as: Fortnite, Rocket league, (Coming soon) Apex, Witcher 3, and Skyrim. Of course you also have your Nintendo exclusives like Pokemon and Mario games. As a twenty-something this is great to take on the go or practice rocket league tricks on the couch. Reviewing the hardware, the console is very thin but this can cause some hand cramping. You will NOT be able to display this on a TV but that is the point of this console. The RB and LB buttons are very sensitive and easy to press which can get annoying when using it as a Hulu streaming device, but it is not a problem in games. The battery life is decent with 3-5 hours of gaming time depending on internet usage and processing power needed for game. Nintendo did a good job bringing back dedicated handhelds, but I do wish Switch would consider allowing Xbox Gamepass and XCloud. This was an offer put out a while back which would let the Switch stream intensive games that are not offered on Switch, and it would also let you bring games from either console. But that is a topic for another forum :) Definitely worth the price, and would be a great B Friday, C Monday item to purchase for the holiday season. Especially since it looks like Covid is spiking again and we may be heading towards more lockdowns! This review was written in 10/2020 so it may be outdated by the time you read this. Enjoy your new console!

I love the lite as a portable and easy way to pass the time. However, if you do have the extra money to buy the full switch, I would recommend you do that. I'm actually considering finally making the switch to the full one (even though we already have one in the house). It's a little sad that it can't connect to the TV to play on the big screen and if you have issues with the joysticks, you can't just go out and buy new ones as easily as the full version. I recommend the lite if you're really just wanting to stick with the compact console feel and you're tight on cash. I got mine at the beginning of the pandemic because it was impossible to get the full one. I still enjoy it, but each has their own perks that you'll have to weigh before buying.

My teenage daughter loves this switch! It is portable and an appealing color. Money well spent

I bought this for my granddaughter it’s good at least she’s happy

Love it! The person that helped me purchase the switch lite was awesome! He definitely deserves a raise. Forgot his name but I know that he works at the union sq location and he was Puerto Rican I believe with a pony tail

I can't believe that I waited so long to get a switch. This is AWESOME. Unlike prior handhelds (DS, Gameboy Advance, etc. . . .) which played stunted, graphically weaker versions of games that bore little resemblance to their console counterparts, this device plays the EXACT same games as its television capable counterpart. I like the lite version in particular because: 1. Cool color (I love this blue) 2. Better battery life 3. integrated controls with a traditional D-Pad (the separate joycons always "off" to me). At some point I am going to go ahead and pick up a set of joycons (and a separate charger since you can't charge them using this device) just so that I can take better advantage of motion controls in some games (looking at you "Arms"). I think it's very cool that I have this option (the advantage of integrated controls with the option for external if I want them). Memory is somewhat paltry at 32GB. I'm going top have to pick up an SD card to supplement the internal storage. "Smite" and "Paladins" appear to take up a little less than 20GB each, so I'm thinking that I don't want to get anything less than 128GB if I'm going to put "Rocket League" and "Fortnite" on this as well. So far, this has been absolutely great. I strongly recommend this console.

My daughter loves it! Quality is great. Graphics are awesome. Can’t wait to get more games qand

Overall it works fine. Bought it as a gift. The colour is good. -we use it a lot

I bought a Switch Lite mainly because of its compact size and weighs less than my OLED Switch. Great to take with you on trips to keep you entertained. If you plan to download Switch games on this model I highly recommend an SD. The internal memory is 10GB. Other than that I love this Switch.

The product was a reasonable price at market value. Beautiful color, lightweight, and easy to use. I didnt have to wait long for them to have it available for pickup and it was available a day earlier than they projected. Product was sold out everywhere else i looked, but Best Buy had what I needed!

So much lighter than the original switch and easier to carry. And the color is amazing, love it.

Its a Nintendo and does exactly what you would expect. It is super durable and has held up well to my children and their recklessness.

My daughter absolutely loved this especially the color

The right size for my kiddo and the price is great for those wanting to get a second switch.

Lovely color. Easy to travel with it since it’s small and compact.

This is one of the best on the market and I love the color and it’s very portable

Great for low investment into the hardware, especially if you’re only interested in a few games. Solidly built and better battery than the 1.0 switch hardware. Would recommend to anyone not too concerned about putting their games on a big screen, or in need of a much more travel friendly size!

Fun little system for my daughter. Lots of games and she enjoys it.

It’s so good I’ve been using it every day to play games I recommend it so much.

Love it my daughter love this picture it’s a great gift she don’t put it
