Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 This review was written in 10/2020 so it may be outdated by the time you read this.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!

I bought this as a gift and it was by far the highlight of Christmas.

Hubby gave this to me as a birthday gift and so love it!!! Enjoying Mario games like when I was still a kid.

I can't believe that I waited so long to get a switch. This is AWESOME. Unlike prior handhelds (DS, Gameboy Advance, etc. . . .) which played stunted, graphically weaker versions of games that bore little resemblance to their console counterparts, this device plays the EXACT same games as its television capable counterpart. I like the lite version in particular because: 1. Cool color (I love this blue) 2. Better battery life 3. integrated controls with a traditional D-Pad (the separate joycons always "off" to me). At some point I am going to go ahead and pick up a set of joycons (and a separate charger since you can't charge them using this device) just so that I can take better advantage of motion controls in some games (looking at you "Arms"). I think it's very cool that I have this option (the advantage of integrated controls with the option for external if I want them). Memory is somewhat paltry at 32GB. I'm going top have to pick up an SD card to supplement the internal storage. "Smite" and "Paladins" appear to take up a little less than 20GB each, so I'm thinking that I don't want to get anything less than 128GB if I'm going to put "Rocket League" and "Fortnite" on this as well. So far, this has been absolutely great. I strongly recommend this console.

I love the lite as a portable and easy way to pass the time. However, if you do have the extra money to buy the full switch, I would recommend you do that. I'm actually considering finally making the switch to the full one (even though we already have one in the house). It's a little sad that it can't connect to the TV to play on the big screen and if you have issues with the joysticks, you can't just go out and buy new ones as easily as the full version. I recommend the lite if you're really just wanting to stick with the compact console feel and you're tight on cash. I got mine at the beginning of the pandemic because it was impossible to get the full one. I still enjoy it, but each has their own perks that you'll have to weigh before buying.

My teenage daughter loves this switch! It is portable and an appealing color. Money well spent

My daughter loves it! Quality is great. Graphics are awesome. Can’t wait to get more games qand

My child loved this as a gift small compact but full of fun

I bought this for myself and I love it !! When I don’t want to play on my ps4, I’ll play with this baby! Also amazing for travel !! Connect to hotspot easily too!! The only thing is that I wish I can connect my Bluetooth headphones.

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

The product was a reasonable price at market value. Beautiful color, lightweight, and easy to use. I didnt have to wait long for them to have it available for pickup and it was available a day earlier than they projected. Product was sold out everywhere else i looked, but Best Buy had what I needed!

Thought that child would prefer larger model and screen. However, this fits better and a great starter model. Child quickly learned how to utilize games and features without assistance from parents.

So much lighter than the original switch and easier to carry. And the color is amazing, love it.

This was a gift for my son. We only had it for a few days until the consle blue screened. I went into best buy to get this replaced. They were so quick and understanding to get this replaced. Thanks

We got this for our daughter and she loved it. The color was perfect. The sizing and quality are great. I also love that parents can control how long the kids can use it for. The battery life is pretty long I was impressed.

Great for the kids or on the go. Very lightweight. The blue is very pretty.

I bought this for my niece and it is perfect for the price! It’s so easy to carry around with her everywhere she goes, and it is perfect size for her. She loves it and the color is perfect

I bought this refurbished switch lite two years ago. To this day, it has held up nicely and the battery charge is still excellent throughout the day! I definitely recommend buying a refurbished switch lite!

This is one of the best on the market and I love the color and it’s very portable
