Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a full Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite. The Lite has a slightly smaller screen but there is a notable weight difference. This can be important if you get wrist or hand pain from long gaming sessions. Otherwise it is a great console and there are tons of games for it. Be mindful of the differences in the Lite vs the full Switch. Some games will have limited functionality or worse. So get familiar with what you are going to play before deciding to jump in. Also, at the time I bought it you cannot move your game in Animal Crossing from one console to the other. That may factor into your decision.

If you like your switch but just don't play it on your tv, this is a great alternative for you. Lighter, sleeker and smaller, it's perfect for on-the-go gaming. And although it's lighter, it doesn't lose any of the quality feel you get from the switch. It doesn't feel like a knock-off or cheapskate version of the switch. Additionally, I wish it was as easy to access the Switch' micro SD card as it is on here.

1st time nitendo switch buyer bought for my kids would recommend they love it

Great item. My daughter loves the color. We love anything Nintendo !

The Nintendo product always works well and last long. Never doubted it

No need to worry about losing 80 dollar joycons its all one system. Its just like a giant GBA which definitely brings the nostalgia for me. The screen quality isn't what you would see in the OLED but youre not paying the OLED price so its all good. 10 outta 10 recommend for kids who arent as great at taking care of their electronics (try as they might)

I’m obsessed with this thing!! I play it all the time and play with friends online. It even has the old school Nintendo games I loved playing as a kid growing up.

The battery does not last as long as the standard, but the weight is way better for portable playing.

Nice, pink and lite to hold. Good to take on the road.

Durable enough for kids, portable and sleek enough for adults. If you don't want a system to connect to your TV and just want to play handheld, this works great. But if you even have the slightest reservation about wanting to play Nintendo games on your TV or want to play with family and friends, just spring for the regular Switch. This is definitely a personal device, not one to share with others.

I love it. I've been wanting a switch for years. The lite is perfect for me.

The Lite is a decent portable system if you have never used a regular Switch and have no idea about its features, most of which are missing here. It cannot dock to a TV, the screen is small and average quality, it has poor battery life, worse sound, no rumble, no kickstand, and the joy cons can’t be removed for local multiplayer. But you know, aside from all THAT it’s pretty okay. It’s a frustrating handheld because the buttons are actually far better than the normal Switch’s joy cons, and it’s lighter in the hands, yet it’s worse in just about every other area. It makes you wish you could just take those buttons and put them on a regular Switch, or the OLED. I’m not sure why Nintendo doesn’t update their joy cons with these better buttons. It makes their whole Switch lineup maddening because no matter which Switch you use, your experience will be lacking compared to another model. There is no perfect Switch, not even when you factor in third party accessories. So have fun with that I guess!

Great handheld system. Fast.......................

Compact and light and very brilliant and vivid color! My son love it and battery Last longer.

Great time waster and impressive battery life, so happy.

A gift for my daughter's birthday. She loved it. She's a teacher and with all the stress of covid, she can relax with the Switch Lite and just play the games.

Bought it for our 4yr old as a Christmas gift. So he hasn’t used it yet but he has tried it in store. The smaller form factor of the Switch Lite is easier for him to play with it. Also the fact it comes in one piece without the removable joycons like the normal Switch is better for smaller kids, i.e. less prone to damage/failure. I would still recommend to buy a protective case for accidental drops, a screen protector to prevent scratches and a carrying case for travelling with all the games and the charger.

My wife loves to play games on this! She enjoys how compact it is

Daughter loves this switch. She picked the color and couldn’t even wait till we got home to play it. Haha. Very good product.

Daughter loves this! This device is great! Easy to grab and go.
