Customer Ratings & Reviews

The switch lite is a brilliant device if you are low on budget or you simply want a smaller more portable switch. It is much much lighter than the regular switch, so I never feel tired however long I hold it. Though being lighter, the quality is really good. I especially like the exterior material, it has a rubbery feel. The coral color I chose also looks really good, better than the picture. The only complain I have is that placement of the right analog stick. My right thumb always bend on the right stick, and it gets harder if I need to pull down the stick.

I have basically not stopped playing this thing since I got it. I am very happy that I bought the smaller switch lite and not the regular one, since I mostly wanted to play handheld and the $100 I saved from not buying the full-size went towards games. It is very comfortable to hold, and does pair with third party wireless controllers. I have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the screen is pretty small, so the split screen made it difficult to play with two people, but our solution was to prop it up on a table and bring it close while we sat pretty close together. That experience was enjoyable (and ran smoothly) even if it wasn't the same as docking a big switch. Single player Mario Kart runs very smoothly and looks vibrant. I usually play at 150cc for reference. Just handheld is great, because the screen is definitely big enough for one person to view comfortably, and the buttons all have a good response and are positioned comfortably. Breath of the Wild (likely my most visually intensive game) looks and plays great on this, except for one or two places in game where there is minor, momentary lag (the grass texture in front of Rito Village always causes lag for some reason lol) but overall, for such a visual-heavy game, it runs very well on the Switch Lite. The coral color goes beautifully with the white buttons. I would say it is a true coral-pink, and bright. It is not a light pink or pastel, if you were hoping the product pictures were darker. The product picture is pretty accurate in shade, but in real life the color is /slightly/ brighter or more saturated. Again, slightly.

I’m not much of a gamer, let me get that out of the way. The last console I owned was a PS3 and I most game on my computer. However, since it’s release, the Switch has been an intriguing product for me. I have had numerous handhelds from Nintendo in the past and loved every single one, from GameBoy Color, up to the 2DS XL. So when I saw the Switch boasting console level titles at launch and then watched as many more flooded into the system, I grew more and more interested, but I’m not one to sit in front of a TV and play, so really the Switch would’ve been just a portable device. I was hoping one day Nintendo would make a Switch that was just handheld. I thought I’d have to wait a long time, maybe forever, but then they announced this, and at $100 cheaper. Needless to say I went out and bought this first thing in the morning, and it is everything I wanted and so much more. I ended up getting Super Mario, Pokémon, a Bunch of SNES games, and the original 3 Spyro games which I had forgotten had been remastered. All this, spending the same I would’ve for the standard switch. This is a great deal. TL;DR This is the ideal product for people who want to experience high end, and old school titles in a portable fashion. It has some compromises but they are entirely forgotten once the device is in your hands.

It’s just the right size and it is perfect for traveling. I take my switch everywhere with me, best purchase I have made.

This is the fourth day that I have been using the switch lite and it is already warped and bent! The screen is also not fit on it perfectly. It is tilting downwards on the left side ever so slightly, so the bezel line is noticeably bigger on the top and it is very distracting. I am not sure as to whether or not this happened due to the bending of the console but it is there! Purchase date is the 7th but delivery was on the 10th

I was a little hesitant at first because I wasnt sure if the Switch Lite was going to be less powerful or immersive as the Switch Console is, but that is not the case at all. The switch lite is beautifully designed with a very crisp and clear screen that is surprisingly big, the joysticks are smooth, and the overall gameplay is lag-free and flawless. The only complaint I have is the button arrangement but this can be changed in the control panel within the settings, but then again I am an Xbox player so the controls are a little off, but you remember the button placement after a few hours. So far, Im really impressed with this handheld console. On a full-charge playing Animal Crossing, I can get about 6 1/2 hours of full-time gameplay before it needs to be plugged in. I do wish the charging cable was longer as it is pretty short, but otherwise I have NO complaints about the console itself at all. Definitely something to invest in if youre an avid gamer like me, and being a single-mom this console gives me the flexibility to play my games whenever and wherever I want. If you travel a lot on planes for business or even pleasure, this is something to look into getting. The nintendo store on the console is also very cool. I like that I can go into the store and buy a new game anytime I want and have it digitally downloaded. Also, if youre planning on adding a lot of games, I highly recommend getting a 1TB MicroSD card as the console itself only comes with 32GB and with Skyrim + Animal crossing downloaded, I only have 4GB of space leftover on the console itself. The console takes up some of that 32GB space with the hardware so really youre only getting about 24GB, which goes fast. The switch itself is very sturdy and designed to be durable. The screen feels like a thick glass but projects a beautifully clean, crisp, and clear image. I feel like even if you dropped this on the floor, it wouldnt get damaged at all- it is very thick plastic they used and Im very impressed. For the price, you definitely get your moneys worth

Graphics are good, battery life was consistently good, easy to play. The joysticks can break easily and it ids not easy to get them replaced, so if buying for a child I might recommend the full Switch console to a parent instead of the Lite, if you want a reparable console that will last years.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is a great handheld system if you want something lightweight, portable, and easy to use on the go. It feels comfortable in your hands, the built-in D-pad is perfect for games like Mario and Pokémon, and most Switch titles run smoothly in handheld mode. The screen is smaller, but it’s sharp and bright enough for everyday play. The main drawback is that it can’t connect to a TV, and some motion-control games require extra controllers. Still, if you prefer solo gaming, travel a lot, or just want a more affordable way to play Nintendo games, the Switch Lite delivers strong value and a fun, smooth gaming experience.

Nintendo does Handheld so well. Smaller portable version of the switch with almost the same amount of power as the original but in cooler colors. Your games play and look amazing on this device. Never had a problem with it. Still works well to this day.. you can get 2-3 hrs of game play on the go with one charge. You won’t regret it!

The Nintendo Switch Lite has been an amazing handheld console for me. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and perfect for gaming on the go. The build quality feels solid, and the screen is bright and clear with excellent colors. Performance is smooth, and most games run perfectly without any issues. The controls feel natural, and the compact design makes it easy to carry in a bag or even a jacket pocket. Battery life is also really good and lasts several hours depending on the game. It’s the perfect choice if you prefer handheld gaming and don’t need to connect to a TV. Overall, this device delivers great value, great performance, and a fun gaming experience. Highly recommended!

The Nintendo Switch Lite is honestly one of the best handheld consoles out there. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and perfect for gaming on the go. The screen is bright and clear, the controls feel solid, and the battery life holds up really well for long play sessions. It plays all the games that don’t require detachable Joy-Cons, and everything runs smoothly with great graphics for a portable system. It’s also super easy to set up, and the overall build quality feels sturdy and durable. If you want a portable, affordable, and reliable way to play Nintendo games, the Switch Lite is a great choice.

I got pulled into the cozy/casual game phenomena and this was the perfect device. The battery life was quite long and it's very lightweight and perfect for gaming on the go. The only accessory I'd recommend is to get your own micro SD card since the storage on the device is too small and you need it especially if you're planning to have more than 5-6 games on your switch.

PROS- The device deserves no less than 5 stars because it is the device that plays the best video games. It’s light-weight, bright, well constructed, good enough graphics, good size screen, nice battery, it has a headphone port. Cons- Not very ergonomic- you may want to get a grip extension for it. There isn’t a lot of storage that comes with it, but you can add storage with a micro-so card. Games for it get pretty pricey, they are worth it, but I recommend buying the games used when possible. There is no way to hook this up to TV or external monitor, sometimes when viewing a cutscene in a game, or playing a big open world game, I feel like I could be missing out on some quality by not having as much of a screen. There is no Bluetooth for headphones, you have to use the headphone jack or the speakers.

I binged and bought this as a companion to my regular Switch. It works out great and I take my Lite out with me instead of my main Switch. I just prefer using it as my handheld companion instead of the main one. The weight is much lighter and is smaller so it's easier to hold. It has a decent battery life for long time play. The color is very pleasant too.

Bought for my daughter’s birthday works great! She loves taking it with on long trips.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for a family member. They have enjoyed the portability, as well as the coral color. The lite is great for handheld only gamers, as you can’t dock it, but tabletop and online multiplayer is still available. The Switch library is the same but some games require extras like joycons (Super Mario Party).

The Nintendo Switch Lite has been an absolute joy to own. Its compact and lightweight design makes it incredibly portable, perfect for gaming on the go. The 32GB of internal storage provides ample space for downloading games, and the gameplay experience is nothing short of fantastic. The vibrant display and responsive controls make playing a wide variety of games a delight. The system's library is extensive, offering a diverse range of titles for all types of gamers. Plus, the battery life is impressive. Whether you're a casual or hardcore gamer, the Nintendo Switch Lite is a fantastic handheld console that brings hours of fun and entertainment.

The Switch Lite is a well made handheld device, excellent quality. It's really good for my small hands to manage. The small screen doesn't really sacrifice any gameplay. Setup after first start up is really easy. Would recommend looking into Nintendo Switch Online subscription before purchase, as you need it for some features on the device.

I haven’t played video games much in years but I wanted a relatively inexpensive place to play simple stuff like Mario. The switch lite was totally the right choice! The graphics look great and it’s just a super fun little console!

Nintendo switch is amazing. The battery last for hours. The color is georgous as well. Its eaay to navigate and even has parental options for those that may require that type of extra. Easy instructions, as well as cases and accessories for it for purchase. You will enjoy most definitely.
