Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super light weight. Battery lasts alot more longer then your original switch. More of a personal use instead of trying to share it on the big screen.

My brother has a regular Switch and I have always wanted to get one, but I didn’t want to spend so much money on a system for my TV when I already have a PS4. When I heard Animal Crossing New Horizons was coming, I started researching the Switch to find one I would like. When I stumbled upon the Lite, I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I actually prefer it over the regular Switch. I like that I don’t have to worry about the controllers or having an extra port I have to keep to charge it and the controllers. And the nostalgia I get from having the Lite is insane. It’s like playing an oversized Gameboy Advanced and I love it. I also found that most games are easier to play on the Lite because you don’t have two separate controllers with drift or any of the unnecessary hard motor skills movements you have to do with them, and personally I like playing games solo. The Lite was definitely the best choice for me. I only have Skyrim and Animal Crossing and I’ve put over 200+ hours into them combined. I would recommend the Lite to anyone who wants to save some money and doesn’t mind only playing handheld. That’s really the only difference.

Great Christmas gift for my son! I'm glad I was able to find it in this color.

Great mobile gaming system, great games and a lot of fun,if you have a regular switch this one is smaller Mobil version

Its great, so far my grand daughter enjoys it very well

Got it for my wife for mothers day. She loves it! Very light weight and good on the go. The color is also amazing. My wife plays the new Animal Crossing with it everyday.

Its a switch lite its great. Id reccomend if you dont mind having all the extras.

i never write reviews but seriously this console is so amazing and affordable. i was debating for so long if i should get this one or the reg switch but i’m so glad i got the lite. it’s everything you want and more! the size and everything is just perfect and it came sooner than expected. i take it with me everywhere. just WOW!!!

Excellent headphones, drown out the background noise and I can clean in peace!

I bought this to play some of the older Nintendo games on the Nintendo eShop, and I haven't been let down. I really enjoy the family plan that Nintendo offers—$80 a year for up to 8 people is a great deal. The battery life is amazing; my son uses his more than I do because his original Switch has much shorter battery life compared to mine. I would definitely recommend getting a bigger SD card, as one game can quickly fill the 32GB of onboard memory. Personally, I enjoy the retro games more than the newer ones. Works great with my phones hotspot so i am able to always have internet when needed.

I love that it's touch screen, my toddler can use it and my husband too.They both love it.

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

Its really fun to use and easy to take to places because its small and could play everywhere

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!

Affordable gaming system that is easy to use and easy to carry around. Got it for my 6 year old. The system is pretty simple to use, but some games are challenging to navigate - for her anyway, even when they are 6+ games. I love it - got the Nintendo membership and I've been playing the old school games.

Great product my niece loves it would definitely recommend

Great purchase and delivery was on time. Package was shipped within a few hrs

The switch lite is perfect for me, as I don’t have time to really sit in front of the TV to play games! I also love this coral color. Super happy with this purchase!

Bought the Lite to supplement the OG Switch already in the household that is claimed by my son and I. The Coral was a specific request from my daughter and we lucked out with being able to order it from BB during covid. The Lite is great for handheld and individual use....its slightly smaller and lighter than the Switch and its one piece construction has just that little bit more solid feeling. It isnt a replacement for the Switch, but if you dont need it for video output to a large screen or multi-person game play, the Lite is perfect....especially if the main purpose is for Animal Crossing.
