Customer Ratings & Reviews

I honestly regret buying this for my 3yr old for Christmas. It might be a fun purchase for someone who enjoys nostalgic ’90s video games, but it doesn’t really suit today’s generation. The quality and gameplay feel very dated. That said, I have to admit—it’s addictive. I started playing Mario Bros and couldn’t put it down, and a couple of days later my husband was in bed hooked on it too. Still, I wouldn’t recommend it for kids raised in the late ’90s or 2000s.

Nice device very light n the battery is awaom it take around 2 hours to charge n you can play around 6 to 7 hours ....

My wife really enjoys the switch lite. Much easier to carry around without the joycons slipping off the console. Not really my style but my wife really loves it so for that it gets 5 stars

I really enjoy the full version of the Switch when displayed on the TV. I won't bother discussing the games and the FPS values on a 4K screen; those reviews can be found elsewhere. Instead, I want to discuss how the Switch Lite addresses one issue I have had with the Switch, which is taking it out of the dock and playing with the built-in screen. First, when undocked, the Switch feels a little wobbly. The Joy-Cons lock into place, but there is a sense of instability that bothers me. Second, the Switch and Joy-Cons together are heavy. In my opinion, too heavy even to be able to wear out a battery charge before wearing out my hands. Finally, the sticks on all Joy-Cons are just weird. They are so short that I find I have to adjust the sensitivity up quite a bit to feel like I am capable of playing anything. If I do not, I push on the sticks so hard that I wear out my fingers quickly. The Switch Lite, on the other hand, addresses two of the three concerns. First, the whole unit feels very solid. It feels nice in the hand and has a consistency that works. The instability of the Switch is gone. Second, the Switch Lite is really light! Compared to the Switch, the Lite is like holding air. I can play this for a couple of hours and forget about it. I've enjoyed that quite a bit. The joysticks, however...are still the same, and I don't care for them as much as I could. I can get used to them, as I have, but it is jarring and takes me out of games sometimes. The Lite can support external controllers like the Pro (which is great, by the way), so I may use that, but it does seem to make the fact that the Lite is a portable console a bit irrelevant. I was curious about how the smaller screen on the Switch Lite would affect gameplay vs. the Switch, but I haven't really noticed a difference. Looking between the two, the difference is very noticeable, but in use, I haven't felt like I'm missing anything. In summary, I am very pleased with the Switch Lite. At this point, there are now three in the house, which should be an endorsement. The feeling of stability is welcome along with a lighter form factor. The joysticks are my only issue, and I didn't actually expect that they would change, so I was not disappointed in that regard. I recommend the Switch Lite for sure!

Great product. Very lite (pun intended) my daughter loves it and I love how easy the interface is for her to learn games and I also like how you can set up a password for payment methods.

Bought for my wife so we can play games together. She loves the color and enjoys it

Great mobile gaming system, great games and a lot of fun,if you have a regular switch this one is smaller Mobil version

Great product is awesome and easy for on the go for the kids

good product. the switch lite is super light and i prefer not to play switch in tv. so i choose switch lite for carrying outside.

It’s still fairly portable, the cartridges are very small so they can easily fall in a crack. You will need to buy a SD card as it doesn’t come with one.

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 but the onboard storage could've been bigger.

I own both a Switch and a 3DS. Recently, my wife has been hogging up the Switch due to COVID and Animal Crossing; so I picked up this little guy since I play my Switch in handheld mode most of the time anyways. I have to say, this is the best portable game system I've owned yet. It's so light weight and pocketable, yet as powerful as the regular Switch. I was concerned that the screen would be too small for me but so far I haven't had any problem with it, if anything, the display is sharper due to the pixels being more packed into a smaller display. This is the perfect marriage of a Switch and a 3DS.

This is a must have for Switch users. It’s a genuine extension of the portability of the Switch, and is nice for on-the-go play as it is notably lighter than its predecessor.

Bought it for my five year old for Christmas but my wife had one just like it. feels a bit small for me but perfect for her. Can't connect to a TV but very portable otherwise.

My 6 year old loves his Nintendo switch! I’m really happy with this purchase

I purchased the switch lite for the portability. I love how much lighter it is in the hand. It fit comfortable without fatigue when playing for long periods of time.

Best Christmas gift ever. For the grandkids. Wish there were more color choices. Had to go buy skins from some online site to differentiate each kid's game system.

Portable and light. Nice color makes it easy to spot.

The switch lite is perfect for me, as I don’t have time to really sit in front of the TV to play games! I also love this coral color. Super happy with this purchase!

Works just as good as the original switch. It’s a little smaller but that’s okay for me. Even though I have bigger hands, I don’t use the docking function for the TV so the smaller is better.
