Customer Ratings & Reviews

-- Built-in controls feels vastly better than the Joy-Cons. The face buttons are much meatier to press and the triggers and shoulders feel almost like a real controller. The d-pad is more a traditional pad with a nice clickiness-to-mush ratio. Satisfying to use and takes me back in time. Sticks appear much the same as the Cons', but mysteriously feel nicer to me. -- The screen is excellent. Very sharp, excellent color reproduction. No auto-brightness here, from what I can see, but the manual range is identical to that found on the standard Switch. -- Speaker are slightly tinny and thin, but not bad by any means. Sound quality is superior in both tone and volume to the 3DS line of products, but could have been better. -- WiFi antenna seems improved from the original Switch. On my OG Switch, I can get at most 1 bar on the opposite end of my house from my router. With the Lite, it stays at 2 and sometimes hits full signal strength. -- Very lightweight and comfortable to hold while also giving a strong impression of sturdiness. This feels like a true handheld whereas the OG Switch feels like it might break apart in your hands thanks to the rickety feel of the Joy-Con rails. Conclusion: the Switch Lite is a very nice compliment to the Switch line and is looking like a worthy successor to the mighty 3DS. It makes for a great gateway into the current gaming landscape; and at only $200 USD, it's a rather affordable one, too.

Another amazing product from Nintendo! Portable, sleek and fun!

Great if you want to play Switch games on the go, and aren't worried about hooking it up to the TV. Also makes for a great secondary machine if you have kids.

This device was a birthday gift for my son. He absolutely loves it. It’s easy to use and durable. The color was a nice dark blue.

All in all, you really just need a Switch or a Switch Lite, you don’t need both. If you don’t own a TV and don’t plan on playing any games on a TV ever, the Lite is for you. But why limit yourself? I would personally rather get a used $200 Switch (which you can’t really do now due to Covid but pre-Covid you could find them for $175-200) versus a Switch Lite. Being able to “Switch” between playing on your TV or going portable is what the Switch is all about! Needless to say, ignoring the limitations the Lite has for a $100 reduction, the fact is you can still play Switch games for $100 less. It works great. I haven’t had much drifting issues with the JoyCons and you can always send your console back if you do come across any drifting issues. The color is very nice and clean. It’s a great console! But I would definitely pay $50 more for a Switch Lite Pro that did enable you to dock it to play on your TV, but maybe no rumble.

My daughter, who I did not think liked playing games, has secretly started playing with her brothers, and I was surprised when she put this on her Christmas list to my dad, and she was surprised when I was the one who gave it to her... LOL and she is still playing with today and even taking it on plane rides for business trips btw she is 24

Perfect for our four year old. We were looking for something that he could play that wasn’t on tv or a tablet this is perfect !

Perfect system for the younger children. After initial setup they could understand and play a myriad of games without needing assistance. Parental control systems are also awesome as they email you every time something needs approval or with screen time and game metrics

Excellent for handheld gaming, I got it for my wife as a gift and she was jumping for joy. She couldn't wait to play her favorite Zelda games. We wish it had more internal storage but that's nothing some memory cards won't fix.

Nintendo switch at an affordable price. I got this one for my son. Battery lasts and I appreciate the parent controls for time allotment. I’ll get one for his brother too. Great games, easy to use.

I had bought this for my daughter and she has been super happy with it. We have a regular Switch for when we play at home on our television. I love how portable it is and the size is perfect for traveling.

Great, afforable, portable system. Battery life is decent for those who use it casually throughout the day.

I love the color of my switch!! It’s super easy to use and there’s tons of games available!! I especially love the switch because I love to travel and this is perfect to play in airplanes and hotel rooms! ( I just got mine but I played my brothers on previous trips )

Best gift ever for christmas presents this year!!!

Lightweight and the screen is just the right size for viewing games. The controls are a bit small but once you become used to them, it’s not a big issue. I would recommend buying grip covers for the controls to make it easier on your fingers.

Love this switch! If you are on the fence about the color its more of a salmon color as to a pink. The switch itself has a beautiful display. Been a long time nintendo portable console player for quite sometime lovw the light weight of this console with the bigger screen!

Purched for my toddler. So happy. Small enough for her to use but seems durable. Wonderful selection of games for toddlers also!

A couple of things to note I have had a Nintendo switch since it came out and never played it on a television, if you don't care about playing it on a television then the switch lite might be your option. As any game system there are pros and cons to them in this case you can't replace the joy cons when they wear out over time and start to stick because these are non removable. Secondly the screen size is smaller on the lite in my case it don't bother me. The device is thinner and lighter with better battery life. Its $100 cheaper at $199 US dollars. I don't see them blowing off shelves like the original Switch but I recommend you getting one in your hand to try out and make sure it's the right choice for you. In late 2020 there will be new game systems coming out but Nintendo always stands alone in its software library. They probably should of called it the portable lite instead though since you can't switch from TV to portable on this one. Hope this review helped

Got our 9yr old a Nintendo and he’s obsessed with it. Definitely going to buy this for my nieces and nephews for their birthday this is a good gift! Definitely recommend

Easy to set up and enjoy playing. Portability and size make great for enjoying at home, on the road, and at events.
