Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son saved up all his money just to buy this game console.

Bought 2 Lites for our 4 kids to share. It's nice to have a less expensive option when you have several kids, and the smaller size is nice for smaller hands (but still has a great feel in teen and adult hands!). Compared to my regular Switch in HH mode, nothing is really lost in the gameplay experience; and the kids are just happy they can play ACNH together ;-).

I’m not usually a fan of handheld portable gaming devices due to the size and the awkward way you have to hold it. I would rather use a more comfortable controller on a larger screen, however, this is the perfect size and the fact that you have options to purchase attachments to make it feel more like an actual controller was my selling point. While I still find using the the tv and regular controllers more comfortable, I will say they did an amazing job with this one. Battery life is pretty good as well as long as you’re not internet gaming with the screen brightness maxed out, then you get maybe a couples hours max I’ve learned, otherwise it does last longer on a single charge. I would suggest a screen protector as it scratches fairly easy, the only downfall, but thanks to the plastic screen it won’t shatter like glass would if dropped, which I have done a few times already and it has held up fine.

I love the smaller, lighter switch it’s more portable than the original.

I bought the Switch Lite so my wife and I could have separate islands in Animal Crossing. I played the original Switch a ton in handheld mode, especially in bed. After playing with the Lite, the original Switch feels so heavy! The Lite is great if you strictly want to play handheld. But do not buy if you have any desire to play on the TV. I do miss that option more than I thought I would.

Beautiful color my daughter loves it! Easy to use and play

Very light in weight and good battery life. Plays like a charm!

I'm late to the Switch ownership pool but picked one of these up for mobile gaming. Specifically for Animal Crossing and the upcoming Pikmin game. It's a good light weight and a pretty screen for a mobile device. The ability to dock and remove joycons was not important for me so no drawback to this unit.

Good handheld game for time pass. Good size screen and battery time is fine too.

Great switch unit that plays all the games like the standard version, but without removable controllers. The feel in your hands is great and the color is super. If you don't have one with a dock, I would recommend that first, since this works great as a second option. If you just want to play some Nintendo games in handheld mode, however, then this is the switch for you.

Perfect gift for my son. Light weight. Works great. Long battery life.

My brother uses it all the time. I got it for him for his birthday. He loves playing Pokémon on it. Got the SD card for storage. I recommend a lite for a console for a beginner just getting into video games

I've owned many handheld consoles over the years: GBA, DS, 3DS, PSP, and PS Vita. By far, Switch Lite takes the cake. The screen is large enough to display the details, though if your eyesight is less than perfect, you may have to squint on a few of the text-heavy games that were not designed with a small screen in mind (so far, I've tried several games with no real issues). The resolution and color vibrancy is just beautiful, sound is great, load times are minimal, battery life is impressive, and it's actually quite comfortable to hold for hours on end, even for someone with small hands like me! Beyond the hardware, Nintendo's library for the Switch is on par with Sony and Microsoft's offerings, which is a nice improvement over previous systems. Add to that the classic titles that Nintendo is known for, and you just can't beat it. Absolutely recommended!!

Love it. Portable and good size for being a hand held console

I really love the lite. I have the regular switch but this is so light weight and portable.

Switch Lite is great for a portable console. Better than the original.

This is a perfect gift. It works great it's great for the kids that play on the Nintendo. The switch is great
