Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought it for my sister in law she enjoyed we play with my wife all the time

My son has has his original switch for a couple of years and finally convinced me to get myself a switch lite… I flipping love this thing! It’s so easy to use and it’s so portable and just the best way to unwind. Also, now I can sit on the couch by him and we can each be playing games but really get so spend so good, relaxing time together!

Good product like it supposed to be 100% quality, nice gift for Christmas

My daughter loves it! Right out of the box it couldn’t be easier to use.

Good my son enjoyed he likes to play with his friends

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

Girlfriend likes it! I got it for her for Christmas 2024 and she’s been using it ever since.

My kids love it. Easy and compact. Good quality. Love the color.

This is a great way to play some great Nintendo Switch games, especially if you're on a limited budget. Granted there will be a few trade-offs considering it comes in at about $100 lower than the regular Switch system, but overall, I'd say it's well worth it, especially if you're on the go, or don't need to hook it to a TV. Battery life is decent, and will probably vary depending on which games you play on it. With Lego City Undercover, I get probably around 3.5 to just under 4 hours on a charge, for example. But since you can still play it while it's charging up, that's really not too much of an issue, in my opinion. The screen is nice and bright, and very sharp as well. Nintendo certainly did a great job here, and the controls feel nice too. Like I've seen a few others mention, the overall audio could stand to be somewhat louder, but considering the smaller size of this unit, that's probably to be a little bit expected. Overall, I think Nintendo did an excellent job with this system, especially at this price point. The slim size of the Switch Lite gives it a great portability factor as well. I highly recommend it.

After giving a bit of time with the new Switch Lite, I gotta say I am pretty impressed with it. The handheld is comfortable to hold, even with someone who has big hands such as myself. I am finding that my fingers just naturally want to sit on the shoulder buttons as I am holding the handheld console, as well as the face buttons and left thumbstick (I haven't played a game yet that requires the use of the right thumbstick) as I am playing games. The console is extremely light too. It almost feels like you are holding an empty plastic shell case with a screen with how light the console feels. Finally, the Turquoise color is nice color as it is not too bright, but more of a flat color. The Switch Lite comes with a charging adapter too. The only downside I can find with the Switch Lite so far is the sound from the internal speakers doesn't seem to be very loud, even with the volume turned all the way up. I am playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening with the Switch Lite as my first game and I am having a hard time hearing the sound effects and the music in the game. Headphones would probably improve the quality of the volume, but I prefer using the internal speakers with portable video game electronics. Also, you cannot hook the Switch Lite up to a TV. This is strictly a portable device. So just a head's up on that. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It is a nice portable console that gives you the original Switch experience, but on the go and at a $100 dollar discount.

Love this system! Lightweight and easy to play. Highly recommend.

Sure, you can't dock it, the controllers aren't removable, and the screen is not as good, but this device still has a place in our household. It's smaller, lighter, and much less expensive. When gaming handheld, I prefer the Lite to the original.

I love this switch! Sturdy and beautiful. Charge keeps. This is a good go to device to escape.

It’s just what my daughter wanted. Great color, good price.

Best gift ever for christmas presents this year!!!

Great size and weight compared to the swtich, color is amazing

Absolutly obsessed! Never thought of myself as a "gamer" but this little system is so fun. I love how easy it is to travel with, definitely get a memory card so you can expand your storage but other than that i have nothing bad to say.

I've always wanted a Nintendo Switch, but as an undergrad with very limited access to a decent TV, I was certain I'd only use it in handheld mode, and therefore couldn't justify buying a console whose main selling feature was its versatility. I grew up with an old Nintendo DS and loved it-- it was well-designed, lightweight, and functional. But when it broke, I tried out a 3DS and found it to be annoyingly bulky. It wouldn't necessarily have been a big deal, but I knew the bulk was in part due to a bunch of extra features I'd never wanted to use-- that was more frustrating than anything. Enter: the Switch Lite. Many of its critics are frustrated with its limited capabilities compared to the original Switch, but for those in my situation, it's absolutely phenomenal. The Switch Lite is perfect for those who enjoyed the older DS consoles, but want to play newer Switch games (i.e. ACNH). I love the size and weight of mine, which can be attributed to the fact that it has no detachable parts. Again, the lack of Joy Cons are a huge downside for people who are accustomed to the versatility of the original Switch, but to me it feels like an old-fashioned handheld console, and that's all I need. I bought the model I'm reviewing (turquoise) for my sister and have a gray one for myself. They truly are excellent, and have been a lifesaver while social distancing.

I LOVE this console for hand held games and the graphics are pretty nice, I do wish the battery life was a little bit better but no complaints!

Only have 2 games and played them when I cam. Lightweight and its Blue.
