Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who has smaller hands this product fits nicely in your hands while holding it. It is also lighter compared to the regular Nintendo Switch so you don't get tired holding it after a long while. Also, the switch lite has a matte coating all over itself (excluding the screen) so you don't get the feeling that it will slip out of your hands.

Great screen and resolution. If you have small hands or are buying for a child it's a good size. My only problem with it as an adult it's a bit small for bigger hands. My hands will cramp for certain games depending on the buttons I have to use. The normal switch is better for my hands but the lite is easier to take with you. I like the potability but would recommend the normal switch if you are going to use it around the house or an outlet. I have both so I will switch between using them depending on where I'm using it and what game I'm playing.

Great for little kids. My nephew loves it! I prefer this one because the other one comes apart and we all know kids will tear that apart.

I bought this for my son he plays my brothers regular switch all the time in handheld. He would regularly drop the regular switch because it was too wide for him to hold. This is the perfect size and honestly the battery life is longer and we haven't had but a few drops because he set it down on the edge of something without paying attention

AAA games in the palm of your hand although most of them a lot rougher looking than they're console counterparts. battery life is excellent the onboard storage could've been bigger though.

I bought this for my little brother and he absolutely loves it. I got the light because I feel the detachable joycons break easily and is just a gimmick. Splitting the controller for a smaller one to play double plays uncomfortably unless you got tiny hands. I feel the light is a lot more travel friendly and durable which is perfect for my little bro.

light weight easy to handle. Battery last long and very durable.

I have purchased 4 of these for family. They love it!

It is the perfect size for my 3 year old who loves to watch videos on and feel like he’s apart of his brothers who have gaming systems.

The switch lite is very nice if you want to play games on the go. Handled all Switch games fairly well that I've played. Only cons (which are technically features): -- No ability to connect to TVs via HDMI cables. Not just the Regular switch Docks, but also any socks that connect via USB-C are not compatible. --joy cons are the same as the switch. It will likely get stick drift at some point. I recommend the protection plan so it can be repaired or replaced if needed. --Capacity is small for memory. This is easily fixed with a microSD thankfully. Otherwise, its a good system that works as intended: a light weight version of the regular switch.

This system is way lighter and more comfortable to use portably than the original switch. Easier to carry around and can fit in your pocket. The original switch feels clunky and outdated next to the lite. It does lack the tv docked mode feature but you’re not buying the switch lite for that reason. Overall, excellent system. Turquoise is the way to go.

Great game console! I love how you can play at home or on the go

The Lite is a good option if you're looking for something portable and to play on the go! There's only 32gb of storage so if you have lots of games to play then get an SD Card so you can download them all! Added bonus of cool colors :]

Fiancé loves it. She was ecstatic that we were able to get the coral pink color. It was all sold out everywhere else. Product got here before the estimated date and works well. Switches may not have the processing power and graphics of its contemporaries, but it makes up for it in its console exclusives and portability.

This is our 2nd switch. Much lighter and easier to use for the little guys hands. We’ve bought 3 replacement switch controllers because they wear them out. We hope this new switch will be better. The importing of save data was a little tricky because I had to setup child accounts. But after that, it was a simple setup.

Full disclosure: I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy and have been my whole life. But I really do like this little guy. I bought a Switch on launch day way back when. My (now) 8 year old kid has been playing it recently and wanted one of his own. He saved up his birthday money and picked one of these up when it came out. We're both pretty happy with it. Build quality so far seems good, it remains to be seen if the analog sticks will have the same drifting issues that have plagued the original Switch. Screen is nice and bright, and yes it's on the smaller side but certainly everything is legible. Battery life could be better, but that's to be expected with the compact size. Speaking of which, it's perfect for his 8 year old hands but could be problematic for adult hands. Only downside is no rumble or TV out, but he doesn't care about that. Nintendo has finally joined the 20th century with regards to online accounts, so multiple Switches and digital games isn't as big a deal as it used to be with say the 3DS. In fact, I believe the Nintendo set-up is basically the same as PS4. I think I'd still recommend the original Switch for an initial buy, but for a secondary unit or multiples, I'd recommend this.

Such a worthwhile purchase, I'm so happy I got this. I initially bought it for animal crossing but I've purchased many games since and it's nice to bring on the go. I do wish it was able to connect to docks but that's what you get for the lite version I guess. Completely worth the money!

This was a gift for my cousin and he absolutely loved it. I think the Switch light is a better option for someone who wants to use it everywhere since the whole system is one piece. It's a good size, easy to hold and use. He loved the color especially. Would buy one for myself if I had the time to actually use it!

I am totally loving my Nintendo switch. It has been very fun to have even at my age of 34. lol I always loved gaming and hand held games and the switch lite suits my wants at this moment. It is not as big as the original and is the perfect size for a hand held game. I am loving the Coral color also since I am a girly girl!

Purchase for my daughter. Love that it’s slim and lightweight. Also happy that I am able to purchase game on-line. Keep my kids entertained while on the road!
