    A Rather Nice Little Device

    -- 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.

    Love this switch! If you are on the fence about the color its more of a salmon color as to a pink. The switch itself has a beautiful display. Been a long time nintendo portable console player for quite sometime lovw the light weight of this console with the bigger screen!

    Nintendo hit another home run

    A couple of things to note I have had a Nintendo switch since it came out and never played it on a television, if you don't care about playing it on a television then the switch lite might be your option. As any game system there are pros and cons to them in this case you can't replace the joy cons when they wear out over time and start to stick because these are non removable. Secondly the screen size is smaller on the lite in my case it don't bother me. The device is thinner and lighter with better battery life. Its $100 cheaper at $199 US dollars. I don't see them blowing off shelves like the original Switch but I recommend you getting one in your hand to try out and make sure it's the right choice for you. In late 2020 there will be new game systems coming out but Nintendo always stands alone in its software library. They probably should of called it the portable lite instead though since you can't switch from TV to portable on this one. Hope this review helped

    This was a gift for my daughter and she absolutely loved it!! This Nintendo switch is very easy to use and the perfect size. We can’t wait to get more games! I think getting the physical games are better but the digital download are quick and easy.

    Lightweight and the screen is just the right size for viewing games. The controls are a bit small but once you become used to them, it’s not a big issue. I would recommend buying grip covers for the controls to make it easier on your fingers.

    This is a secondary switch for me. I commute via train to work and it’s small size is a huge plus. The original switch was just a bit too cumbersome to carry. Pick this up once and you will be sold. It feels perfect
