Customer Ratings & Reviews

great product, compact, easy to use, handheld, long battery

I bought this Nintendo Switch Lite for my sister as a graduation present. She loves the games I have on my regular Switch, but doesn't have a TV at her current apartment and didn't like the size of Switch in handheld mode. Because the chassis is smaller, it's much easier to hold and use for long periods of time compared to the normal Switch. Another advantage over the regular Switch is the proper D-pad on the left-hand side. Aside from the lack of TV support and non-detachable controllers, it functions exactly like a regular Switch -- not a graphics powerhouse, but great for casual games.

The Lite is a decent portable system if you have never used a regular Switch and have no idea about its features, most of which are missing here. It cannot dock to a TV, the screen is small and average quality, it has poor battery life, worse sound, no rumble, no kickstand, and the joy cons can’t be removed for local multiplayer. But you know, aside from all THAT it’s pretty okay. It’s a frustrating handheld because the buttons are actually far better than the normal Switch’s joy cons, and it’s lighter in the hands, yet it’s worse in just about every other area. It makes you wish you could just take those buttons and put them on a regular Switch, or the OLED. I’m not sure why Nintendo doesn’t update their joy cons with these better buttons. It makes their whole Switch lineup maddening because no matter which Switch you use, your experience will be lacking compared to another model. There is no perfect Switch, not even when you factor in third party accessories. So have fun with that I guess!

Better than the original besides the fact that it doesn’t connect to tv it is extremely mobile and light weight for people who are mostly on the go.

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

Perfect handheld for on the go! We have a regular Switch, but everyone fights over time with that. Grabbed the Lite and love how it’s a bit smaller.

Nice color (Turquoise) & available at a Good Price. Excellent entry level Switch that is especially perfect for those who prefer playing a handheld gaming device.

Works great. Girlfriend loves it more then me. Very pretty blue. Mainly just luck but nintendo was going threw a big sale online so she got a few games with it

I highly recommend this Nintendo Switch to all ages, who seek fun and entertainment, which could lead to hours of entertainment , with a huge selection of gaming options in their library at the Eshop. Works great with online gift cards, and easy to use, would recommend for others seeking for device options.

During quarantine we have been playing Animal Crossing. My kids have had lots of hand held games. This is my first! Love the large screen, and it is easy to use!

I love how tiny it is and the color. It fits right and nice in my hand. I can’t wait for the pro to potentially come out. Love the switches!

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

Small, easy to hold and handle, great screen with picture all round great product for gaming on the go.

Good gift for my niece she loved it. Good portable

My son loved his Nintendo Switch. But for any parent that bought the regular handheld console, you might have heard about “drifting” joy con controllers. This Switch Lite solves the drifting issues since the controllers are attached to the screen, much like the Nintendo DS and other Nintendo handheld systems. We went for the teal color to add a little color (the grey model was too blah). All of his Nintendo Switch games work perfectly with the Switch Lite! If you downloaded games through the Nintendo’s E-shop, you can also transfer these games to the Switch Lite. He’s able to play Mariokart 8 and Fortnite!

I think this is a great alternative to the regular switch and I think this would be great for kids and it very durable battery I pretty good the color is great.

I had been waiting for this to come out again and it was definitely worth the wait. It’s a beautiful color and it’s so light compared to the original one.

It really plays great! The graphics are amazing! The battery life last really long.

Perfect for quarantine! The size is perfect for my small hands and the color is also very nice! I love to play Animal Crossing and watch YouTube every day! :^)

Extremely happy to find this just in time for my niece's birthday during covid-19. She loved the quality and it was easy to navigate around. Great price too!
