Customer Ratings & Reviews

I much prefer the portable version of the handheld over my standard switch. But if you are looking to replace your standard switch with the lite version, not that there is no docking option for the lite version.

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

My teenager has a regular switch, but when my 5 and 6 year old try to play it, they seem to drop it often. So I got the switch lite. So much better! They love it and they can play against each other on their own devices.

Perfect for my daughter. I don’t like my kids playing around the house with our full switch console. The lite is the best of both worlds with price and portability.

This is a great item for on the road or traveling.

I was a first adopter of the launch Switch and I love that system and the games. When the Switch Lite was announced I was hesitant, but after seeing all the review videos and unboxings, and knowing my long lasting love for Nintendo handhelds, I knew I was going to pick one up. I mostly used my original Switch in handheld anyways, so now it sits docked and this is my primary system and I have no regrets! This little system is really neat! It's VERY light but feels sturdy. The buttons are quieter than the original Switch, so it makes playing in bed next to a sleeping wife better, and the screen is beautiful. My hands are quite large and they can feel a little cramped, but there are grips that I know would help with that, but I haven't tried any because it would take away from the gorgeous form factor of this system. It's so slim and compact, it's really pretty amazing the power that it has inside, considering it can play games like Witcher III. If you're on the fence, I say go for it. It's a fantastic little handheld that can play some of the best games on the market today. If you only use your original Switch in handheld mode, I recommend trading it in and going with the Switch Lite. You won't miss much about the original system!

Very perfect for children I love this soo much great prices perfect for children great love it

Awesome love how I can play comfortably wherever I want. I know the switch is portable to but it’s a little heavy and a bit to big to be a hand held. The lite is smaller and much lighter.

I was skeptical about the Switch Lite when it was first announced. But once its in your hands and your playing full console games including the likes of Mario and Zelda I was sinply amazed. Even though its not a spec heavy device none of that matters when you’re immersed in a game. To the naked eye the screen looks great and the buttons are just fine considering it’s size. The build qualify is solid and the battery life is more than enough to get you through some lite travel.

I bought the switch lite so I could play Animal Crossing New Horizons. It is light weight and easy to use. It is comfortable in my hands and all of the buttons are within reach. I will definitely buy more games for it.

My child loves the Nintendo Switch. The setup process is very intuitive and easy enough for child in her age group to handle alone. The gaming library is chock-full of hit games, so you won't be bored. And if you happen to find a friend or another Switch owner to play with, it gets even better. That said, its graphics can't compete with the ray-tracing and 4K-ready visuals of the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Plus the Switch's small storage means you'll be more reliant on swapping game cards, or buying external storage. I would definitely recommend this for anyone of any age group wants to build sharpen their mental acuity and improve their hand dexterity.

My son loves this I got it for him for Christmas he loves the Mario games it stays charge for a great amount of time the durability is great he’s dropped it a few times I would definitely recommend!

This device is neat and does the trick when on a budget, but I much prefer the regular Switch. It feels more durable than the Lite, has a slightly bigger screen, and can be played on your TV. I'd consider the Lite for a responsible pre- or early teen, so they can take it with them places, but not hurt your wallet as bad when it inevitably breaks.

This is my first handheld in years. Last one was a game boy advance. Very fast load times and good graphics for a handheld. One thing that surprises me Is that the console has a matte texture all over. Took me a little while to get used to it but it’s good. Some games are challenging and would probably be better on the full sized console since it has separate joy-cons. Battery life could be better. I tend to get around 3.5-4. Hours. WiFi is painfully slow sadly. My house has speeds of 250 mbps and the console only gets roughly 25-30mbps. This is a known issue with both models so downloading games and updates will take time. Other than that it’s a great console. I bought super Smash and Pokémon sword with mine and I’m extremely happy with the purchase.

A great device my child loves her switch and plays it daily.

I've had it for a while now and I'm glad I wanted for this color. Very nice. The system itself is nice, definitely feels much lighter than the regular Switch. Battery lasts me maybe 5 hours with medium brightness on.

Great handheld system for only $199! A lot of bang for your buck! Much lighter than the full-sized Switch console. One drawback would be the battery life. You'll get 3-3.5 hours MAX. You won't regret this purchase!

Nintendo has always been know for creating products that are out of the ordinary. This console is no exception. I love the original Switch but probably love this one even more. The size is just perfect and it is much lighter which makes gaming even more comfortable believe it or not. The yellow color they chose is also very stylish and attractive. Love the Switch and can't wait until they release the next version which I'm sure will come out eventually. Let's go 4k!!!

I got for my nephew’s birthday hoping he would like it and he does so, thank you.

If you don’t want to game on TV and it’s just a special hobby for you this is a much cheaper option than the original switch or OLed. Perfect size for me to keep and it’s been amazing for long lines, or waits.
