Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this system!!!!! Looking forward to countless hours of playing. Very lightweight.

This purchase was not for me, but my daughter. And she loves it

Excellent product for my 5 year old grandson. Would definitely recommend this product

For the price this is much better than the original switch. Better battery life, lighter, thinner etc. The fact that it's lighter makes a world of difference when playing for an extended period of time as the original switch can be a little heavy and uncomfortable. My only complaint with this device is the lack of Bluetooth. The only way you can play with headphones is with the headphone jack or buying a Bluetooth dongle. In 2019/2020 its unacceptable for a portable device to not have Bluetooth built in.

Was for a 9 year old boy at Christmas, has played it everyday, he loves it.

I love this, serves it's purpose of a fun portable unit!!!

I've been scouring far and wide for this, just so I can give it to my youngest brother for Christmas. I got lucky ordering this to have it delivered to my local store. Yes, I had someone pick it up for me, but from what I heard, they were early. And for that, I'm even more grateful.

I needed to purchase two of these and they are a great gift for children and adults! It may be a cool addition to have like a metal one or falls all over the screen!

Small yet with amazing graphics. Kid can hold and handle it by himself.

Ordered this for my son's 8th birthday. It arrived earlier than expected in excellent condition. I will definitely order again from Best Buy as all my expectations were met.

Pretty good device just needs more battery life but I get it

Good little device, but definitely needs to be paired with a memory card! Had to get one fairly quickly so kids could play more than one game!

This was a last minute purchase since the original vendor wasn't going to have it in time for Christmas even though we got it on tbe first week of December! Best Buy had it and would ve available for pick upbdays before Christmas. What a save! I don't know the logistics of the game/product, all I know is that my 11 yr old niece was ecstatic when she opened her gift and she almost cried. That to me is priceless ❤ Thank you %-D

Excellent device. Don’t know why I waited so long to get it in the first place. I liked it so much I also purchased a new switch oled and gave this one to my sister. Would highly recommend this item.

The first item I received was defective. The return process with Best Buy was very smooth and quick. I was able to get a new one!

This is a very good option for young kids, family friendly

Ordered online and was able to pick them up in less than 30 minutes and it was a quick easy in and out in less than 5 minutes.

My switch is still going strong, and it’s definitely worth the money. Get you one, your mom one, your brother, and ya kids.

i love it i finally was able to get another one after mine was stolen by some low life its even in better condition than my old one i love the feel of it just brings me back to my first purchase thank you best buy!

Every improvement the Switch Lite offers is matched by an equivalent drawback. As most other reviewers have indicated, the cheaper price point comes at the expense of docking ability and the rumble and motion control features of the joy con controllers. We knew that once the specs were announced. The Switch Lite was supposed to be offer a cheaper entry to the Switch platform aimed at players who are predisposed to use the system in handheld mode. Some of the lost features make perfect sense in this respect; a smaller screen size and form factor would necessitate permanently attaching the controllers, and docking ability could be omitted for a system that was designed with handheld use in mind. What's surprising about this model is how it solves some problems that plagued the OG Switch and introduces new ones the spec sheet didn't suggest: IMPROVEMENTS - Better display for handheld mode, simply because a smaller screen features greater pixel density at the same 720p resolution. Some players think the display panel is of slightly higher quality, but the difference is negligible. Battery life has been slightly improved. The standout improvement, however, has to be in the body build. The Switch Lite uses a rigid plastic chassis that doesn't squeak or do the banana bend like the regular Switch. The display is mounted inside the chassis too, rather than inserted into a frame like in the original Switch. Those of us who have had screens start to pop out of the body on the regular Switch will be overjoyed with the design of the Lite, which has a unibody style of construction keeping the screen safely where it should be. DOWNGRADES The controls, meaning the actual joysticks and buttons, are flimsy and audibly squeak when used. Those of us worried about joy con drift won't find any comfort in the design of the Switch Lite's sticks and buttons. The left thumbstick squeals when manipulated. The directional pad sits in a cavity noticeably larger than the button itself, making it slide uneasily when pushed. Even the input buttons on the right side feel wiggly, and they don't push into the device as smoothly as right joy con buttons do. Use the Switch Lite for a day and you'll be wondering when the sticks are going to pop off, and how much it'll cost for Nintendo to repair it. The speakers are a little on the weak side too, and their placement inevitably leads to users' hands muffling them. And this little guy gets HOT when playing resource-intensive games. The heat vents at the top of the device are smaller too, so the extra heat produced in the console interior has even less of a chance to escape. Will the Switch Lite eventually melt its own insides?? When the Lite was announced, all the technical tradeoffs for the lower price and the portable focus felt justified. The OG Switch is kind of uncomfortable in handheld mode, and prolonged handheld use can put a great big ol' bend in your Switch if you grip it too tightly. Gamers who wanted a better portable model had every reason to be excited by the Switch Lite. For the most part, the Lite model succeeds at what it was built to do - offer a better on the go Switch experience But the concerns posed by the fragile-feeling buttons and the rapid heatup of the device when in use leave me wondering how long this thing is going to last. Note to Nintendo - please make a Switch model that does not suffer from an alarming hardware problem.
