Customer Ratings & Reviews

After giving a bit of time with the new Switch Lite, I gotta say I am pretty impressed with it. The handheld is comfortable to hold, even with someone who has big hands such as myself. I am finding that my fingers just naturally want to sit on the shoulder buttons as I am holding the handheld console, as well as the face buttons and left thumbstick (I haven't played a game yet that requires the use of the right thumbstick) as I am playing games. The console is extremely light too. It almost feels like you are holding an empty plastic shell case with a screen with how light the console feels. Finally, the Turquoise color is nice color as it is not too bright, but more of a flat color. The Switch Lite comes with a charging adapter too. The only downside I can find with the Switch Lite so far is the sound from the internal speakers doesn't seem to be very loud, even with the volume turned all the way up. I am playing Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening with the Switch Lite as my first game and I am having a hard time hearing the sound effects and the music in the game. Headphones would probably improve the quality of the volume, but I prefer using the internal speakers with portable video game electronics. Also, you cannot hook the Switch Lite up to a TV. This is strictly a portable device. So just a head's up on that. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. It is a nice portable console that gives you the original Switch experience, but on the go and at a $100 dollar discount.

Amount of storage it comes with is awful, like one games worth.

It’s just what my daughter wanted. Great color, good price.

easy access fun to travel with good games. My kids love this game unit

Sure, you can't dock it, the controllers aren't removable, and the screen is not as good, but this device still has a place in our household. It's smaller, lighter, and much less expensive. When gaming handheld, I prefer the Lite to the original.

Great size and weight compared to the swtich, color is amazing

I love it it was perfect,I got it as a Christmas gift

Easy to use and cost efficient. The box came with a charger and the device was 50% charged upon opening. It’s compatible with a wireless controller and Nintendo switch games.

The kids love the portability features of the handheld device. Fun and interactive games.

I great handle game super fun too much choices in games

Granddaughter loves it! Highly Recommend it as a gift!

Great on the go gaming. Wish the plastic frame had texture to provide better grip. Plus the analog rubber covering on the joysticks is already coming off. Nevertheless, it is Nintendo Switch in travel form.

My Grandson is very happy with it! Idk much about them but he’s haply!

I love the switch, do kind of wish i would’ve gotten the more expensive one but i love this one still, get a memory card to go with it though, there’s no storage without it

My daughter loved it. Very light and easy to play.

I've always wanted a Nintendo Switch, but as an undergrad with very limited access to a decent TV, I was certain I'd only use it in handheld mode, and therefore couldn't justify buying a console whose main selling feature was its versatility. I grew up with an old Nintendo DS and loved it-- it was well-designed, lightweight, and functional. But when it broke, I tried out a 3DS and found it to be annoyingly bulky. It wouldn't necessarily have been a big deal, but I knew the bulk was in part due to a bunch of extra features I'd never wanted to use-- that was more frustrating than anything. Enter: the Switch Lite. Many of its critics are frustrated with its limited capabilities compared to the original Switch, but for those in my situation, it's absolutely phenomenal. The Switch Lite is perfect for those who enjoyed the older DS consoles, but want to play newer Switch games (i.e. ACNH). I love the size and weight of mine, which can be attributed to the fact that it has no detachable parts. Again, the lack of Joy Cons are a huge downside for people who are accustomed to the versatility of the original Switch, but to me it feels like an old-fashioned handheld console, and that's all I need. I bought the model I'm reviewing (turquoise) for my sister and have a gray one for myself. They truly are excellent, and have been a lifesaver while social distancing.

Beautiful color. Great lightweight system, fun to play.

It’s very lite weight switch. And also it’s really easy to travel with.

Purchased for my daughter to use in the car during a 13hr drive to our vacation destination and back. The battery was great. We have the console version as well and this functioned just as well as that.

Bought this for my little brother for his birthday and he adores it!! light weight and easy to use. he cannot stop raving about it. I love that these new nintendo games are able to have digital games instead of having to buy the physical card sim game.
