Customer Ratings & Reviews

My bf and me got his daughter the switch lite for her birthday. She absolutely loves it. Its smaller than the original switch so its easier to store and carry. Honestly if the lite had released at the same time the switch did I probably would of gotten it instead since i rarely connect it to my TV. You can't switch out the joycons or connect to a TV like the original. But if you're like me who plays more handheld I recommend the lite instead.

I purchased this nintendo switch light with the intention of helping myself at home during this time with my crippling depression and anxiety. Along with the game animal crossing new horizons it has helped tremendously in bringing down my blood pressure and helping me sleep better. Just know that gaming is very addictive and you should do whatever you need to do before the day drifts away on your island. Lest you face the wrath of others for your slothfulness.

My daughter was so happy and thrilled this switch is perfect for kids on the go small light

Though I call this a mini console, it really is mostly the same as the original Switch but without... the Switching feature to a TV that makes a Switch a Switch lol! You still have access to the giant library of games that the original Switch can play with the exception of gameplay that absolutely requires Joycons. However, if you like to have extended gaming session in bed from time to time, this is the device for you. The form factor, size, and weight are perfect for long sessions. Whereas I've owned the Mario Odyssey edition original Switch for a few years and gamed in bed with it quite a bit, the lite has become my default portable since it puts much less stress on my wrists and arms! The only downside I've noticed from a technical standpoint is the precision of the d-pad. You would think a historic company like Nintendo would be able to design flawless controls by now, but the d-pad does not respond like I would like it to in a game like Tetris 99. I even returned the first Switch Lite I bought to Best Buy to make sure it wasn't a defect with that particular unit, but it seems it may have been a design flaw. I heard the original units at launch had issues with hitting diagonals and it seems they've corrected that. But as a result, when playing against high level players in the end game of a Tetris 99 match, I'm more prone to making erroneous hard drops or left and right movements during a hard drop given how fast and accurate I have to play to win. This seems to only be with Tetris and I imagine the precision of the d-pad in platforming games may be enough (but I haven't tested it much).

The Nintendo Switch Can fit in my pocket it is easy to carry and you can go digital with it

Great for kids. smaller than other switch. better price. only drawback is you cannot use with base to play on tv.

This is my first game system that I have ever owned. After watching and playing Animal Crossing on my husband's island using his Nintendo Switch for months I really wanted a Switch of my own along with my own island that I can create. My husband ended up buying me a Switch Lite along with Animal Crossing. This has been the best gift ever!! The Switch Lite is so easy use to use and I really like the coral color. I have offically become a gamer!

Small and convenient for traveling, on the go and everyday play for the entire family

The switch is exactly as advertised. Great price and it came quickly

The switch lite is a great handheld gaming device that meets expectations. This is great for kids, casual games, and those on the go. Be advised that not all games will be offered on Switch (such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.) but there are still good games such as: Fortnite, Rocket league, (Coming soon) Apex, Witcher 3, and Skyrim. Of course you also have your Nintendo exclusives like Pokemon and Mario games. As a twenty-something this is great to take on the go or practice rocket league tricks on the couch. Reviewing the hardware, the console is very thin but this can cause some hand cramping. You will NOT be able to display this on a TV but that is the point of this console. The RB and LB buttons are very sensitive and easy to press which can get annoying when using it as a Hulu streaming device, but it is not a problem in games. The battery life is decent with 3-5 hours of gaming time depending on internet usage and processing power needed for game. Nintendo did a good job bringing back dedicated handhelds, but I do wish Switch would consider allowing Xbox Gamepass and XCloud. This was an offer put out a while back which would let the Switch stream intensive games that are not offered on Switch, and it would also let you bring games from either console. But that is a topic for another forum :) Definitely worth the price, and would be a great B Friday, C Monday item to purchase for the holiday season. Especially since it looks like Covid is spiking again and we may be heading towards more lockdowns! This review was written in 10/2020 so it may be outdated by the time you read this. Enjoy your new console!

The almost perfect version of the switch. It's lightweight and comfortable to grip, really it's every thing you love about the regular switch smaller, just without the ability to play on your TV, which is why I would give it 4 stars instead of 5.

It arrived in perfect condition. I have been using my switch almost every day for the past 2 months and everything still works perfectly fine. The switch lite is a better option than the regular Switch for those who already have a playstation or xbox.

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and it is a huge hit. The color is her favorite color and she loves being able to game when mom and dad are gaming or on longer road trips. Mario is a bit tough for her but she is loving Pokemon Snap. A great birthday gift for a budding gamer.

I got this as a gift, and my nephew loves it. It is easy to set up and has a parental app to set up by age range that allows you to monitor screen time. Graphics are amazing, plus you don't have to go hunting at the store for games; they can be purchased from the online app store on the console. Easy to use a credit card or a gift card.

Purchased for my 2 yr old grandchild, who is brilliant and he loves it. He loves figuring out games and learning programs.

such a pretty color! hard to find anywhere else! very light weight and easy to carry everywhere.

My friends kept telling me to buy a Switch but I never had the money until now to buy it, and boy, am I glad I did! And about time, too! Even if you are a beginning gamer, you learn the controls pretty quick, doesn't really matter the game. My Lite is durable, doesn't weigh much, and a lot of fun. My only problem with it is that even with the volume turned all the way up. It still gets hard to hear some games.

My nephew loves it. The color is vibrant. It's light easy to carry easy to store no clutter.

Got this for my 6 year old who is on the spectrum and can be clumsy at times. This thing has help up well and has withstood my son and the wood floor.

Cute color for a girl! It’s popular with the kids & I prefer the Nintendo lite over the Nintendo switch that has removable controls. I bought the Switch with removable controls 1st & had to replace the controllers twice. The controllers are made cheap but are very expensive! Buy the Lite, it’s more durable!! My 6 yr old does better with the smaller size too! It fits in her hands better.
