Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought 2 Lites for our 4 kids to share. It's nice to have a less expensive option when you have several kids, and the smaller size is nice for smaller hands (but still has a great feel in teen and adult hands!). Compared to my regular Switch in HH mode, nothing is really lost in the gameplay experience; and the kids are just happy they can play ACNH together ;-).

My son absolutely loved this for his birthday. Thank you for the easy buy.

Purchased for my child and she absolutely loves how light it is and easy for her to use

Love it. Portable and good size for being a hand held console

I love the smaller, lighter switch it’s more portable than the original.

Great for gaming on the go. Really like the blue color.

The coral color is beautiful, switch is awesome as it is. This is the lite so you won't be able to connect to a TV, joycons aren't removable and the screen is slightly smaller than the regular switch. This is great for travel or for those that the previous items aren't important. I have the original switch and bought this one for my wife so she could play Animal Crossing with me. Highly recommend!

Great switch unit that plays all the games like the standard version, but without removable controllers. The feel in your hands is great and the color is super. If you don't have one with a dock, I would recommend that first, since this works great as a second option. If you just want to play some Nintendo games in handheld mode, however, then this is the switch for you.

I bought the Switch Lite so my wife and I could have separate islands in Animal Crossing. I played the original Switch a ton in handheld mode, especially in bed. After playing with the Lite, the original Switch feels so heavy! The Lite is great if you strictly want to play handheld. But do not buy if you have any desire to play on the TV. I do miss that option more than I thought I would.

This gaming system was perfect for my daughter. I love you can download games directly to the system instead of purchasing physical games. I was able to add more of the games shes likes to play as opposed to only whats available in the store.

Switch Lite is great for a portable console. Better than the original.

I’m not usually a fan of handheld portable gaming devices due to the size and the awkward way you have to hold it. I would rather use a more comfortable controller on a larger screen, however, this is the perfect size and the fact that you have options to purchase attachments to make it feel more like an actual controller was my selling point. While I still find using the the tv and regular controllers more comfortable, I will say they did an amazing job with this one. Battery life is pretty good as well as long as you’re not internet gaming with the screen brightness maxed out, then you get maybe a couples hours max I’ve learned, otherwise it does last longer on a single charge. I would suggest a screen protector as it scratches fairly easy, the only downfall, but thanks to the plastic screen it won’t shatter like glass would if dropped, which I have done a few times already and it has held up fine.

I recommend any and all Nintendo Switch models for anyone who is excited to try new versions of their old favorite games and wants a modern, lightweight way to game with friends. If a gaming computer isn't in the cards for you, these little consoles will pretty much do all that and more, especially if you're already better with a controller than a keyboard. Don't stress too much about getting a lite instead of full-blown Switch, I would say the only difference is how many people can play on one console at a time and the graphics display. The switch light has slightly lower quality graphics, although they're still amazing, and the switch lite can absolutely play any and all multiplayer switch games with anyone else who has a switch.

I've owned many handheld consoles over the years: GBA, DS, 3DS, PSP, and PS Vita. By far, Switch Lite takes the cake. The screen is large enough to display the details, though if your eyesight is less than perfect, you may have to squint on a few of the text-heavy games that were not designed with a small screen in mind (so far, I've tried several games with no real issues). The resolution and color vibrancy is just beautiful, sound is great, load times are minimal, battery life is impressive, and it's actually quite comfortable to hold for hours on end, even for someone with small hands like me! Beyond the hardware, Nintendo's library for the Switch is on par with Sony and Microsoft's offerings, which is a nice improvement over previous systems. Add to that the classic titles that Nintendo is known for, and you just can't beat it. Absolutely recommended!!

Gift for daughter and she loves it. She likes it for just her use

The switch is amazing. It fits perfectly in your hands. The color is incredible.

This has been a nice addition to my gaming collection. Lightweight. Decent battery.

I really love the lite. I have the regular switch but this is so light weight and portable.

I ordered the Switch Lite because I didn’t really care about being able to play on my tv. It was a great decision, decent battery, smooth gameplay, user friendly platform, and it fits well in the hand. For $100 less than the regular switch, definitely worth it.

Love it. Beautiful color and so compact. Perfect for entertaining me
