Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it! Love the size compared to the regular model, a lot less bulky feeling and easier to play for long periods.

Such a beautiful coral pink color! It's easy to use and easy to travel size to bring on vacations. It was also easy to set up and ready to play games asap!

My son loves it so that's what really matters. Nice a portable, seems well built. Battery life has been good. Only gave 4 because of the limitations it has vs the regular switch (unable to dock, no rumble or motion controls without separate controllers)

Great device for outdoor gaming. Small and handy..

Perfect for my wife who has always prefered to play handeld consoles over anything else.

Loved the easy friendly process. My daughter loves her switch. Reasonable price, great customer service. Definitely recommend best buy to family n friends.

It was a Christmas gift for my 5yr old son and he can't stop playing with it. I got the yellow one because its bright and attractive, it looks like something to play with. Thin and sleek, I bought a cover to protect it from drops and scratches. Overall im glad he enjoys it. I would recommend it. Its a nice traveling system to keep kids occupied in the car.

Bought it for my five year old for Christmas but my wife had one just like it. feels a bit small for me but perfect for her. Can't connect to a TV but very portable otherwise.

Great gaming device. Nintendo is my favorite console for the family

Great gift. My daughter absolutely loves it. She is so happy it takes regular games like the full switch

great product love the color great quality and right size and weight for all ages

Portable and light. Nice color makes it easy to spot.

Purchased third nintendo switch from Bestbuy because the quality is very good and durable. Great price too!

Been a fan of the Switch family for years. I recommend this for anyone who is on the go on a daily basis.

Got it for my four year old to start gaming and loves it.

I love my Switch Lite! It’s super lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for gaming on the go. The built-in controls feel great, and the battery lasts a long time. It runs all my favorite games smoothly, and the color options are so cute. If you’re looking for a more affordable way to enjoy Nintendo games, this is honestly the best handheld console out there!

If you don’t have a switch or if you have a friend or wife like me that wants to okay Pokémon or mariokart or really anything. This is the best one to get. It’s small and feels great in the hands as well as playing any switch game with ease. It charges fast and has a battery life of about 3-4 hours. It’s better to get the original switch if you wanna play on the tv but if you just want a mobile great console this is the best of the best!

Full disclosure: I already have a Nintendo Switch (second generation) and I love the system. The Nintendo Switch Lite is meant to address some portability issues I had with the original, which is why I decided to give it a go. First things first: Portability. The original Switch always felt pretty good in my hands. However, it was always a bit cumbersome to handle sometimes and I would not play for extended periods. The detachable controllers are nice, but they feel a bit too loose and clunky. I have small hands, so I tended to feel uncomfortable while grabbing the unit, which now feels like a tablet. I hardly ever used the screen touch feature, especially since holding it on one hand feels unbalanced. So, upon handling the Switch Lite for the first time, I really was surprised as to how light and small the system is. I must say that it does kind of feel like a toy. I am actually able to put it in my pants’ pockets most of the time. I picked the gray/white system which looks a bit less “flashy” and fits my style. It has a matte finish that seems to be fingerprint-resistant. The unit features one solid body with the controls a bit more congested. However, this to me proved much more convenient. The shoulder buttons feel just like the original, but I can cover them easier. The action buttons are a tad “springier” and the replacement of the directional action buttons for an actual D-pad was gold. The screen is great, being perhaps a bit brighter (or bluish?). While the resolution is the same (720P undocked), it seems sharper because of the smaller screen, making a higher PPI (pixels per inch) display. Every game I tried looks gorgeous and plays just as expected. The battery life is about 3-4 hours depending on what game you are playing, the screen brightness and if you are connected to WIFI. It’s worth mentioning that the Lite does not have rumble features. So, the big question is: If I already have an Original Switch, should I get this one in addition, replacement or skip entirely? This is a complicated question and really depends on your gaming habits. If you play games on the go, on the couch or when in bed most of the time and do not own a Switch, I highly suggest considering the Lite, you would love it. If you would like to play titles on the TV, even every once in a while, I would recommend reconsidering, since the Lite does not have the “switch” feature and cannot be docked. If you play co-op or party games, then the Lite is not for you. While you could use wireless controllers in addition to the unit’s, the screen is so small that everyone must be within a couple of feet to see it and the Lite does not have a kickstand. Actually, several games do not work well or at all on this unit. I had a horrible time playing some puzzles in Breath of the Wild that involved motion controls. In the end, I must admit that the Lite has become the go-to console for me -and I have all, including a high-end PC. I usually play on the couch when watching a TV show or while on YouTube, when I’m at lunch at work or simply right before I go to sleep (not sure how healthy this is but…). One big gripe I do have is that I wish they had included Bluetooth compatibility since I mostly use wireless headsets. I mean, even the PSP had it. I do have a dongle, but it adds to the form factor of the unit. So, I guess it worked for me and I am very happy with it. Full console experiences in the palm of your hand? Yes, please! But honestly, it can be a bit hard to justify buying it if you have the original Switch, or worse, if you have the newer version (much longer battery life). I’d say just go try it; hold it in your hands and visualize your experience with it.

Great for those long trips! Many games to choose from, and they will all bring back memories!

I love the color! Its not pink, and its not red, its just perfect. I love it. All my games work well, no issues at all
