This feels sooo much better in the hands than the bulkier original Switch, that I can't go back. Even though its lighter, it feels more solid as the joycons do not come off, and it doesn't bend like the old one did. My arms don't get tired at all holding this. AND it had an actual D-pad! I also do not notice the smaller screen when playing, at all. It's just a much more pleasant handheld experience, which is exactly why I go it.

This review isnt for the item, its for the best buy warranty. They changed the wording between when i bought it and when i needed to use it and instead of replacing the item because it had a cracked screen they gave the plmobey back i paid for the item, which is another thing, they claimed it was on sale for 140 and nintendo products never go on sale. The people at my location were amazing. They argued for me as high as they could and when they were stonewalled they offered me what they could. I did not buy the warranty again. As for the device itself, my kids love it. Be careful with the charging port, it tends to come lose, and its an electronic, so dont leave it where it could get stepped on or wet... aside from that it works great, companies are bad, not the product.

The Nintendo Switch Lite in Turquoise is a fantastic handheld gaming console that’s perfect for gaming on the go. Its lightweight design and comfortable grip make it easy to use for extended periods, and the vibrant turquoise color stands out. While it doesn’t support TV docking or have detachable Joy-Cons, it’s ideal for anyone who prefers handheld gaming. The 32GB storage is a bit limited, but adding a microSD card solves that issue. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable option for portable gaming.

I bought one for my almost 8 year old son recently. He loves it. Nintendo still makes the best consoles. I've been a Nintendo fan since 1989.

I love it, awesome gaming system, lite and compact. It takes a while before the battery dies and I play a lot of Animal Crossing. It gives me straight 3 - 3.5 hrs of game time without a break. For the price it’s not bad, I wish it was a little more less than $200. I love the turquoise color. The way it was built though was thin there’s not enough grip in the back I had to buy a clear case that has grip on it so it’s easy for me to hold it especially when I play for a long time.

My Grandson loved it, he got it Christmas and won’t let it go!! So much fun

Great platform lite and simple I liked the fact that it was a reasonable price and easy to use very lite exceptional for hand held gaming I disliked that it didn't connect to tv and was limited at certain games but overall I was satisfied with this product

Love the color, it’s bright and vibrant, switch lite fits great in small hands for the kids

Not much of a gamer, but, like many during the stay at home order, I purchased it to play Animal Crossing. It didn't take too long for me to get used to the controls. It's pretty ergonomic for me, the screen is a decent size, and the battery lasts a while until I have to charge. The color makes me happy as well! I will have to get a micro sd if I want to get more games, though.

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’ve had a lot of fun playing with the Switch. It’s perfect for someone like me who’s a pretty casual gamer but also had delusions of being with the cool kids— only we’re all in our thirties and Animal Crossing is more available than therapy during a pandemic. The Switch has helped me get through this quarantine and I really like it. The battery life is superb and the colors are great. The screen is big enough for me and I love how easy it was to learn the controls.

My son's purchased this Nintendo Switch for me as a present. I use my ipad for many of my games, but it is big to travel with. This is just the right size and fits in my package without weighing it down. I am not a heavy gamer, but I like to use it to relax and take my mind off of work, etc. Battery has a pretty good life. I only have 1 game so far and plan on looking at a few more. I think it's a great gift...a little pricey but so is everything else.

We have one of the original Nintendo Switch consols. With kiddos heading in opposite directions for college, they asked for a 2nd consol so they could both continue to play Nintendo in dorms/apartments. The Switch Lite was the perfect solution given its affordability and portability - especially for cramped dorm spaces. We know the newer Switch is on the market, but this one fits our needs just fine.

Perfect for a hand handheld only experience, I personally love the color finding it closer to the original GameCube than actually blue. The lack of vibration is a bummer though as well as the lack of any ability to connect it to a TV (even if you get a dock it won’t work) so if you are only wanting a portable only system this is perfect. I would suggest getting a screen protector though and maybe a carrying case.

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!

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!

I love it. I play with it everyday. I love it. Love it

Great portability and performance, but screen feels too small.
