Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really enjoy the full version of the Switch when displayed on the TV. I won't bother discussing the games and the FPS values on a 4K screen; those reviews can be found elsewhere. Instead, I want to discuss how the Switch Lite addresses one issue I have had with the Switch, which is taking it out of the dock and playing with the built-in screen. First, when undocked, the Switch feels a little wobbly. The Joy-Cons lock into place, but there is a sense of instability that bothers me. Second, the Switch and Joy-Cons together are heavy. In my opinion, too heavy even to be able to wear out a battery charge before wearing out my hands. Finally, the sticks on all Joy-Cons are just weird. They are so short that I find I have to adjust the sensitivity up quite a bit to feel like I am capable of playing anything. If I do not, I push on the sticks so hard that I wear out my fingers quickly. The Switch Lite, on the other hand, addresses two of the three concerns. First, the whole unit feels very solid. It feels nice in the hand and has a consistency that works. The instability of the Switch is gone. Second, the Switch Lite is really light! Compared to the Switch, the Lite is like holding air. I can play this for a couple of hours and forget about it. I've enjoyed that quite a bit. The joysticks, however...are still the same, and I don't care for them as much as I could. I can get used to them, as I have, but it is jarring and takes me out of games sometimes. The Lite can support external controllers like the Pro (which is great, by the way), so I may use that, but it does seem to make the fact that the Lite is a portable console a bit irrelevant. I was curious about how the smaller screen on the Switch Lite would affect gameplay vs. the Switch, but I haven't really noticed a difference. Looking between the two, the difference is very noticeable, but in use, I haven't felt like I'm missing anything. In summary, I am very pleased with the Switch Lite. At this point, there are now three in the house, which should be an endorsement. The feeling of stability is welcome along with a lighter form factor. The joysticks are my only issue, and I didn't actually expect that they would change, so I was not disappointed in that regard. I recommend the Switch Lite for sure!

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.

I was so happy to be able to snag this Switch for my neice for Christmas. We have the Switch that connects to our TV but this one was so nice for her being that she is younger and you don't have the joycons that come off etc. Battery life is great, definitly buy a screen protector for it. The screen seemed to easily scratch but she's also 9 years old. That's most likely the problem haha. Overall, very pleased with the funtionality and convenience of throwing in a bag and taking in the car.

The switch lite is perfect for me, as I don’t have time to really sit in front of the TV to play games! I also love this coral color. Super happy with this purchase!

Bought the Lite to supplement the OG Switch already in the household that is claimed by my son and I. The Coral was a specific request from my daughter and we lucked out with being able to order it from BB during covid. The Lite is great for handheld and individual use....its slightly smaller and lighter than the Switch and its one piece construction has just that little bit more solid feeling. It isnt a replacement for the Switch, but if you dont need it for video output to a large screen or multi-person game play, the Lite is perfect....especially if the main purpose is for Animal Crossing.

Love that it's lighter and easier to hold, great color, just wish battery life was longer and that game sharing within our family's 2 stitches wasn't so complicated

I love it! I can take it anywhere and it is so light weight.

I had been waiting for this to come out again and it was definitely worth the wait. It’s a beautiful color and it’s so light compared to the original one.

awesome game, for a lite version of the original it is amazing, super cheap and amazing graphics, would recommend for people who enjoy videos games

Oh my goodness. I love the coral color so much. It is the cutest color ever. The battery life is A M A Z I N G. I can play for 6 hours straight before the low battery pops up. Let me tell you about how fast that thing will charge. I would say that it takes about 30 minutes to charge if you are playing your game. If you decide you want to keep trying to break the world record for longest hours consistently played on a Nintendo switch, it will still charge lighting fast in about 45 minutes. Can’t go wrong if you decide to buy yourself one or get your kids some.

My daughter love it she plays the games she love with her dad

Excellent. Came with no trouble, works amazing. 10/10 no notes.

An even better portable option than the regular Switch. Lightweight, portable and sturdy, nothing to complain about. It's my second Switch and love the color!

The switch lite is perfect if you don’t plan on ever docking your switch. The smaller design is more comfortable with smaller hands and it can easily fit in your pocket. The screen is smaller which is a downfall, but still just as good as a base switch. For the lower price point it’s a good deal.

My daughter loved her new Nintendo Switch that we got her for Christmas!!

Purchased this beautiful coral switch lite for my niece but ended up keeping it for myself instead! It's so lightweight and portable! Perfect for all ages!

It works amazing , also an amazing gift for a Mother!

Great design reliable no problems and new as it gets very happy with it!

My mom loves it I got it for her birthday so she can play animal crossing with me and my sisters one of the best purchases I ever made

Works just as good as the regular full size switch! Only part that makes it not get 5 stars is the fact that the battery doesnt last very long!
