Customer Ratings & Reviews

The switch is amazing the color is so pretty the quality is also very good. I think this one is more comfortable to hold rather than the OLED

Very Nice handheld system. It plays the same games as the more expensive Switches. It is easy to use and the price is definitely a lot better than other game systems. My younger siblings can use it with no help so it is easy to use.

Great console for people who are active and on the go. The portability, battery life, etc makes it great for road trips and traveling.

Been playing this even more than my regular Switch!

We love our switches. For our granddaughters birthday we decided to buy her a switch lite of her own. She absolutely loves it! Works great, good parental controls and she has fun in the evenings playing it.

Got it for my four year old to start gaming and loves it.

I love my switch lite, it's the perfect hand held for me and he color is so pretty. I was also able to move all my data from an old broken switch to this one which is amazing

The Switch Lite is a great console when you do not need the ability to use with the TV. This was my household's second Switch system and it was a must have for multiple people to play Tears of the Kingdom next to each other! It is super portable (recommend getting a case for it). We haven't had issues with stick drift but seeing some things has me slightly wary of the longevity, but for the first 4-5 months with heavy use, it has been great! One other call out, if you have larger hands, it might be uncomfortable to hold as it is slightly smaller than a regular Switch.

Great device for outdoor gaming. Small and handy..

My husband and I both have our own switches, and my daughter recently got into playing games of her own. She’s younger and had a little trouble being able to hold the console comfortably. We decided to get her a lite for Christmas so that she’d be able to play her own games whenever she wanted. She loves it! She’s in love with the color, and loves that it fits her hands a little better. I also like that I can set parental controls from an app on my phone like a daily time limit, and what types of games she’s able to download.

Super light weight and portable. Definitely recommend to people who travel and just want something handheld they can play on the plane, train, or car. I was interested in the full size Switch, but I found the Lite to suit my needs better and at a much more attractive price point.

My daughter likes this product because of it's mobility and scalability. The imagery and graphic display add a sense of suave to a compact game machine.

My daughter loves her switch light. She had over 2 year at this point. Battery life is great.

I bought this a week ago and mainly got it to finally play Legend of Zelda BOTW. IDK how I waited 3 years after the game released to finally play it but I am glued now! It's crazy how far handheld consoles have come, compared to back in the day when I got my first Gameboy. Nintendo still to this day stands to deliver the best handheld gaming experience. The console feels sturdy/durable but I still purchased a case and screen protector. The buttons feel firm and responsive. I love all the features, the games, the sound quality, graphics, and am extremely impressed by the battery life! Nintendo, keep up the good work! :)

The Switch Lite is amazing, the kids enjoy playing this around town in those long car rides or running errands. The Blue model looks amazing and holds well to scratches.

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

Excellent product,durable and easy to use.quality and pictures Excellent.

The Nintendo Switch plays an assortment of games. It is a reasonably small and light weight game controller for young children. It is portable so it can be taken with the child when going to a friend's home or even into another room in the house.

-- 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.

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.
