Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a great Christmas gift for a good price. My sister loves this little game and it is portable.

It was a gift for someone and they loved it highly recommended

Order came fast and was easy to order. Switch is so much fun and very pretty color

You don’t need anymore opinions, you probably have done your research already, if you don’t care about docked and want to save a dime then this is an option, but it’s important that you know that joycon drift can happen on this console, so I highly recommend you get the insurance. The thing about the switch lite is that it has alot of color and flavor and to me that is what makes the Switch line so fun, the joycon colors etc etc, but just really keep in mind the limitations because you might regret not spending a bit more for the regular switch or even the OLED switch, the OLED would probably be the best in terms of handheld experience. Imo the OLED is very nice, massive screen but I still really enjoy the switch lite, it’s more portable (I say none of them are truly portable since they aren’t “pocketable” unless you don’t mind a slab sticking out of your pocket) and again it is fun and has more color plus it is cheaper but it’s just something to keep in mind. If it wasn’t clear I have all three, I only go out with my switch lite (excluding travel/ sleepovers because of dock) and only because I want to protect the more expensive consoles, I don’t want them to break or have them stolen, but I genuinely love the lite the most because of its fun design, its more portable, it’s color and the D-pad. Just get insurance if you don’t want to fix joycon drift or plan to take this everywhere with you, AND GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR (applies to all Nintendo Switches).

I like this better that the original switch. Its much lighter and smaller. I also love the color

My boyfriend purchased this for me because he loves my admiration for cute little games. I love animal crossing and hes watched me play this every night! Such a cute and colorful game console

Love the color and its very compact for little hands. The battery last long enough and my daughter loves it.

So it is not a full Nintendo switch so it seems it does have some down parts it won't play all of the games, that good like the one that use the smaller controllers, and it has a smaller screen and feel, because it is smaller, but great for one person travel. It can connect to other switches to play together. I think the color of the Coral is a bit darker then bubble gum pink.

Great quality. Have had for a few months with no problems. Holds charge for awhile.

Nintendo Switch™ Lite, a new version of the Nintendo Switch system that’s optimized for personal, handheld play. Nintendo Switch Lite is a small and light Nintendo Switch system at a great price. With a built-in +Control Pad, and a sleek, unibody design.

Wonderful. I love it. Beautiful color. Portable, and convenient. Great buy. Makes very good gift.

Bought this for my girlfriend. She always wanted a switch and she loves this pink one(coral as they call it) so I bought it as an anniversary gift for her. She absolutely adores and loves it! She doesn't mind that it's not the OG version that connects to the TV, she just wanted a switch that she could play whenever on the go. She plays it almost everyday and she couldn't be happier with it. Well worth what I paid for it and a great gift she'll enjoy for a long time.

I LOVE playing this thing. It fits nicely in your hands. Very lightweight. Would buy this 100x again.

Switch lite is pretty nice. The color looks great. Good size and screen isn’t too bad. I haven’t had any issue with games or performance. It may not have the same functionality as the normal switch but it’s nice to have around when you’re bored.

I’ve always had a huge respect for portable game consoles since the PSP and the nintendo switch/lite is no exception. I’ve had mine for roughly about 6-7 months and I haven’t had any issues with it. For those wondering what are the differences between the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite goes as follows; Nintendo Switch Lite is smaller in comparison and more friendly to those wanting to play hand held, Nintendo Switch Lite DOES NOT HAVE REMOVABLE joycons, the battery life is also slightly lower on the Lite than the original Switch, and the Switch Lite also does not come and isn’t compatible with the Nintendo Switch’s Dock. The only issue that I’ve heard happens is when the controllers/joycons have drift, drift causes your controls to not respond to your movements making it frustrating to play. This is a bigger problem for the Lite since it doesn’t have removable joycons you’d have to send the entire console in for repair, as to the Switch you can detach the joycons and send those instead. However, I’d highly recommend purchasing a Pro Controller if you see yourself playing games such as Smash Bros that require fast pace movements to your controller. All in all the Nintendo Switch Lite is a great and amazing gaming console it’s small, easy to store, and a lot of fun to use! I would highly recommend it I have the new blurple lol and I find myself using almost every day!

Got it for my sister as a gift. She loves her pink!! Switch Lites are a good affordable purchase. However, before purchasing you really do have to be true to yourself and figure out if you really want to not have your games played on the TV. I made the extra $100 or whatever investment. It’s much more worth it for me, and I think I’ve put in plenty of time into playing my switch. If you aren’t interested in that at all, go for the switch lite.

The Switch Lite is ,in my opinion, a better device than the original. I play exclusively in handheld mode and this is more portable,has better graphics and battery life. I"m keeping the old one in case I ever decide to play in docked mode. A good buy if you play primarily in hand held mode or are a first time Switch buyer.

I could not find a Nintendo Switch Lite ANYWHERE at regular price. I searched well over a month and a half, stopping at Best Buy every day on my way home from work to see if they had any available. Their helpful and kind staff were always happy to search inventory, but were always sad to say that they weren't even able to special order it for me. They did, however, always tell me to check online and as promised I was able to find one on stock in the very early hours of one fateful morning! I love how Best Buy was true to their word in being able to find their Holiday rarest items online, if you really do your best to check constantly. In my opinion, the Switch Lite is truly the pinnacle of this generation's handheld gaming devices. It is just really a beautiful little device that works so amazingly and will have your loved ones having hours upon hours of fun. It is just so amazing how this sleek and light little gaming piece can play such great games as Breath of The Wild, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate all while playing miles away from your home! Best Buy provided me a product in immaculate condition at an amazing price compared to others during this Holiday. They were always true to their word, providing ship to store details that were perfectly on time! and despite worries of a delay I picked up my device on the exact day that was promised to me! Thank you Best Buy!

Though I call this a mini console, it really is mostly the same as the original Switch but without... the Switching feature to a TV that makes a Switch a Switch lol! You still have access to the giant library of games that the original Switch can play with the exception of gameplay that absolutely requires Joycons. However, if you like to have extended gaming session in bed from time to time, this is the device for you. The form factor, size, and weight are perfect for long sessions. Whereas I've owned the Mario Odyssey edition original Switch for a few years and gamed in bed with it quite a bit, the lite has become my default portable since it puts much less stress on my wrists and arms! The only downside I've noticed from a technical standpoint is the precision of the d-pad. You would think a historic company like Nintendo would be able to design flawless controls by now, but the d-pad does not respond like I would like it to in a game like Tetris 99. I even returned the first Switch Lite I bought to Best Buy to make sure it wasn't a defect with that particular unit, but it seems it may have been a design flaw. I heard the original units at launch had issues with hitting diagonals and it seems they've corrected that. But as a result, when playing against high level players in the end game of a Tetris 99 match, I'm more prone to making erroneous hard drops or left and right movements during a hard drop given how fast and accurate I have to play to win. This seems to only be with Tetris and I imagine the precision of the d-pad in platforming games may be enough (but I haven't tested it much).

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
