    Don’t buy from Best Buy they don’t care if your package never gets delivered to the right house. Even with fedex saying the item never got delivered to the correct address they do nothing

    Item came defective and Best Buy has the worst return policy out of any of the major stores that sell this item. I had to go through Nintendo instead of Best Buy. I highly recommend buying from elsewhere so you can at least exchange it if it comes defective.

    Ordered this online for a December birthday gift and by Christmas it was dead. Wouldn’t turn on or anything. Took it to Geek Squad and they said we’d have to return it, wouldn’t even look at it because we didn’t buy Best Buy’s warranty. Returned it but of course they’re difficult to get so we had to order the only color they had and are now waiting for it to come.

    Great alternative to the original switch

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While the original switch is bigger and has a few other features this one doesnt such as removable controllers, tv hookup and a bugger screen the switch light is much more portable for sure. The screen wuality compares to the original, it weighs much less than the full sized switch and is compatible with all of the games for the switch. If youre not looking to hookup the switch to the tv or play two player games with the switch then id go with the lite since its a much cheaper option that dors the majority of the same functions as the original switch does.

    Different Color, Still A Good Console.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I picked this up in store mostly because I've been waiting for a Switch restock, either the regular one or the lite, and I decided on the Lite because of the color. The color's a little more purple than anything, on the box it shows like a navy, dark blue, but in person I noticed it to be a little purple, even though it's still a nice color, it's not exactly blue. If you're on the fence about getting a Switch or undecided on which to get, if you already have a console (PS4/5, Xbox One/SX) I would say that you would be good with a Switch Lite, unless you'd really want to experience games like SM: Odyssey, Breath of the Wild on a bigger screen. However, if you don't have a console at home, I would say go for the regular Switch, that way playing with more people is more effective, and playing games like Fortnite or Mortal Kombat would look better on a bigger screen with the added portability. I personally don't really care about docking the Switch, many of my friends who own a regular Switch don't dock it very often, and it's ultimately up to you to decide what you would personally like. If you would like to play new Nintendo games and enjoy them primarily on the go, than the Switch Lite is for you.

    Ended up returning this one because the box was damaged, Device itself looked ok, but if the box was damaged so bad, it could have been thrown around and disconnected things inside, didn't want to risk it.

    While it works, the build quality could be better for the price. The plastic feels cheap and flimsy and can break if dropped at even 30 cm height.

    Worthless as a 2nd console

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is worthless as a second console (and ANY switch is worthless as a 2nd console). This cannot share game saved data from your main switch. (well, you CAN transfer it but then it deletes the saved data from where you moved it from, which requires long protocols in order to share and is a recipe for disaster); you also can't local play unless you buy a 2nd copy of the same game...and if you do this, the 2nd console still has no saved game data so its a major problem regardless. Local play is the same as multi player. It doesnt matter if the person you are playing lives on the other side of the world from you, or lives WITH you and is in your living room: the same rules apply. This is a major failure (both in features and the bait-switch marketing from Nintendo, intentional or not) and resulted in a returned item.
