Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this nintendo switch light with the intention of helping myself at home during this time with my crippling depression and anxiety. Along with the game animal crossing new horizons it has helped tremendously in bringing down my blood pressure and helping me sleep better. Just know that gaming is very addictive and you should do whatever you need to do before the day drifts away on your island. Lest you face the wrath of others for your slothfulness.

Though I call this a mini console, it really is mostly the same as the original Switch but without... the Switching feature to a TV that makes a Switch a Switch lol! You still have access to the giant library of games that the original Switch can play with the exception of gameplay that absolutely requires Joycons. However, if you like to have extended gaming session in bed from time to time, this is the device for you. The form factor, size, and weight are perfect for long sessions. Whereas I've owned the Mario Odyssey edition original Switch for a few years and gamed in bed with it quite a bit, the lite has become my default portable since it puts much less stress on my wrists and arms! The only downside I've noticed from a technical standpoint is the precision of the d-pad. You would think a historic company like Nintendo would be able to design flawless controls by now, but the d-pad does not respond like I would like it to in a game like Tetris 99. I even returned the first Switch Lite I bought to Best Buy to make sure it wasn't a defect with that particular unit, but it seems it may have been a design flaw. I heard the original units at launch had issues with hitting diagonals and it seems they've corrected that. But as a result, when playing against high level players in the end game of a Tetris 99 match, I'm more prone to making erroneous hard drops or left and right movements during a hard drop given how fast and accurate I have to play to win. This seems to only be with Tetris and I imagine the precision of the d-pad in platforming games may be enough (but I haven't tested it much).

This is my first game system that I have ever owned. After watching and playing Animal Crossing on my husband's island using his Nintendo Switch for months I really wanted a Switch of my own along with my own island that I can create. My husband ended up buying me a Switch Lite along with Animal Crossing. This has been the best gift ever!! The Switch Lite is so easy use to use and I really like the coral color. I have offically become a gamer!

Nice light weight hand held gaming system. Easy to use,even for kids. A lot of great games to pick from,even a few free games. Definitely would make a great gift.

The switch is exactly as advertised. Great price and it came quickly

Great my kids love everything about it and also wife

My daughter loves her switch light. She had over 2 year at this point. Battery life is great.

This item works great and hasent given me any issue's with games or network problems.

It arrived in perfect condition. I have been using my switch almost every day for the past 2 months and everything still works perfectly fine. The switch lite is a better option than the regular Switch for those who already have a playstation or xbox.

Its great, so far my grand daughter enjoys it very well

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and it is a huge hit. The color is her favorite color and she loves being able to game when mom and dad are gaming or on longer road trips. Mario is a bit tough for her but she is loving Pokemon Snap. A great birthday gift for a budding gamer.

I got this as a gift, and my nephew loves it. It is easy to set up and has a parental app to set up by age range that allows you to monitor screen time. Graphics are amazing, plus you don't have to go hunting at the store for games; they can be purchased from the online app store on the console. Easy to use a credit card or a gift card.

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!

The almost perfect version of the switch. It's lightweight and comfortable to grip, really it's every thing you love about the regular switch smaller, just without the ability to play on your TV, which is why I would give it 4 stars instead of 5.

Live the game my son was so happy now to purchase games! They are pricey $$

Bought for 10 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it

The Switch Lite is nice and light and I love the different colors and it’s fun to play games on.

such a pretty color! hard to find anywhere else! very light weight and easy to carry everywhere.

My friends kept telling me to buy a Switch but I never had the money until now to buy it, and boy, am I glad I did! And about time, too! Even if you are a beginning gamer, you learn the controls pretty quick, doesn't really matter the game. My Lite is durable, doesn't weigh much, and a lot of fun. My only problem with it is that even with the volume turned all the way up. It still gets hard to hear some games.

Good portable gaming system ive had it for maybe a few years and everything is still responsive as it should be. I did buy a case to avoid the sticks getting mashed. You'll definitely need extra storage if you plan to have more than 2 games on the system at a time.
