Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love it so light and easy to hold. Good for smaller hands the other ones i feel as if were to heavy to hold for myself!

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

Got for my four year old, tablets kept breaking so I figured it was worth it to spend the extra money on something that will last!

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!

[Employee of bestbuy] Super fun to play on, absolutely love the console. Never had a Nintendo device before, and this is great to start out on if you want to explore Nintendo games.

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.

Great product amazing game console great for kids and adults

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.

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.

I feel like I’m writing the same review but most of the items I’ve bought from Best Buy were gifts. As the other one I bought this one was also for a family member and they enjoy it

Bought before Christmas for my son, it is really easy to use and perfect if you don’t want to invest on the other more expensive pieces. Might help your kids become more responsible before buying anything more expensive.

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!

Switch lite is great! This purchase was a gift for my child and they are very happy with it. Don't forget to get a screen protector and shock case if kids are on the younger side.

My grandson loves his switch. It is kid friendly and doesn't take too long to recharge.

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.

Love it! Great for relaxing during some down time. The graphics are great and I love how it fits well in my hands

Perfect Christmas present for my little one! I love how compact it is and how he can take it anywhere. My daughter has the normal Nintendo switch and this one is so much better because of how easy it is to take it anywhere. The color is so nice and the Nintendo is so sturdy looks like it will be used and could manage a couple falls without breaking! I reccomend this to any kiddo that loves video games!

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.
