Customer Ratings & Reviews

My second switch and I dont regret buying it all I use this console as my main travel switch but seems like it's my everyday switch now. Love it havent put it down since I got it!

I purchased this for my daughter as a Christmas Gift. She loves it! She loves the color and it really holds a charge for a long time. She especially LOVES the turquoise color!

Great option for those kids who keep losing the side controllers.

Graphics are wonderful and fits perfectly in your hands. Wide array of games to play and easy on the eyes. So much to do on technological wonder. My kids love it!

good product. the switch lite is super light and i prefer not to play switch in tv. so i choose switch lite for carrying outside.

Good quality and fun alternative to a full Switch. A little more durable for portability

excelent for the chidren at 5 years old very good to play

Great product. Works like a dream. Cool color too my peoples

The nintendo switch lite is perfect size for my 8yr old son. He loves it. He had the original and he never used the tv dock. This was is great for him. Battery life is good.

Smaller version is nice and returning to the full handheld experience without the heavy weight or the oversized screen, this version of the switch makes me jealous not to have for myself. Very convenient and easy storage for true on the go handheld gameplay and less worries of having joy con issues.

It’s still fairly portable, the cartridges are very small so they can easily fall in a crack. You will need to buy a SD card as it doesn’t come with one.

I really enjoy the full version of the Switch when displayed on the TV. I won't bother discussing the games and the FPS values on a 4K screen; those reviews can be found elsewhere. Instead, I want to discuss how the Switch Lite addresses one issue I have had with the Switch, which is taking it out of the dock and playing with the built-in screen. First, when undocked, the Switch feels a little wobbly. The Joy-Cons lock into place, but there is a sense of instability that bothers me. Second, the Switch and Joy-Cons together are heavy. In my opinion, too heavy even to be able to wear out a battery charge before wearing out my hands. Finally, the sticks on all Joy-Cons are just weird. They are so short that I find I have to adjust the sensitivity up quite a bit to feel like I am capable of playing anything. If I do not, I push on the sticks so hard that I wear out my fingers quickly. The Switch Lite, on the other hand, addresses two of the three concerns. First, the whole unit feels very solid. It feels nice in the hand and has a consistency that works. The instability of the Switch is gone. Second, the Switch Lite is really light! Compared to the Switch, the Lite is like holding air. I can play this for a couple of hours and forget about it. I've enjoyed that quite a bit. The joysticks, however...are still the same, and I don't care for them as much as I could. I can get used to them, as I have, but it is jarring and takes me out of games sometimes. The Lite can support external controllers like the Pro (which is great, by the way), so I may use that, but it does seem to make the fact that the Lite is a portable console a bit irrelevant. I was curious about how the smaller screen on the Switch Lite would affect gameplay vs. the Switch, but I haven't really noticed a difference. Looking between the two, the difference is very noticeable, but in use, I haven't felt like I'm missing anything. In summary, I am very pleased with the Switch Lite. At this point, there are now three in the house, which should be an endorsement. The feeling of stability is welcome along with a lighter form factor. The joysticks are my only issue, and I didn't actually expect that they would change, so I was not disappointed in that regard. I recommend the Switch Lite for sure!

Kids loving it,the size and the design is perfect.

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!

I own both a Switch and a 3DS. Recently, my wife has been hogging up the Switch due to COVID and Animal Crossing; so I picked up this little guy since I play my Switch in handheld mode most of the time anyways. I have to say, this is the best portable game system I've owned yet. It's so light weight and pocketable, yet as powerful as the regular Switch. I was concerned that the screen would be too small for me but so far I haven't had any problem with it, if anything, the display is sharper due to the pixels being more packed into a smaller display. This is the perfect marriage of a Switch and a 3DS.

This is a must have for Switch users. It’s a genuine extension of the portability of the Switch, and is nice for on-the-go play as it is notably lighter than its predecessor.

I love the new color and the new size i love the great deal getting two Nintendo for my kids

I purchased the switch lite for the portability. I love how much lighter it is in the hand. It fit comfortable without fatigue when playing for long periods of time.

Great system. No issues. Worth buying this even though the switch 2 is out.

Love it easy to use the games are like realistic love the colors
