Customer Ratings & Reviews

if you wanna play anywhere and not worry about plugging into a screen ever its great. compact and cute and the colors are fun. reminds me of a psp in size. i play it every day!

Great unit but had I known I would have bought the higher end version with detachable controllers. This is not like the old DS system where one host can host a game and the others can join. This is seriously a one person unit meant to play by yourself. Unless you are a loner, do not buy, pay more for the higher end unit.

The best gift I could give my daughter, she loves it

Kids love it...but it is hard to figure out the online family gaming. It was not an easy plug play experience but we are overall happy.

Absolutely love our switch lite. So nice to have traveling, in the car, at home, wherever. Holds a great battery life. Easy for even the not so tech savvy adults.

I got the switch purely for the intention of playing animal crossing. I got other games as well of course, and the entire system has been way more than amazing. The games run smoothly, the screen looks nice, everything about it went above and beyond to what I had expected.

The system is good for player for on the go and very sturdy for me I love it it smaller the the normal switch so it feel like I have gameboy but better graphics and little bit bigger

I bought this during Covid to keep my daughter busy in between doing her school work. Love the parental capability, could monitor how much time she was on and set a time for her to stop using it. Shipping only took five to seven days and tracking was provided from the start.

I average it out at 4 stars. The actual unit was perfectly fine and immaculate out of the box. It functions exactly how it’s supposed to and has zero issues. Hence the 5 star portion. The 3 star is based on the concept. Look, everyone’s got their opinion. Mine is that the original model Switch is just all around smarter. First you get a bigger screen, not hugely bigger, but still, it’s an improvement. Second is the well known ability to “switch” between handheld mode and using on the big TV that most gamers and families have. Third is that even as a wholly handheld system Nintendo has shown that the joycons are substandard quality, so if you ever need to replace them you can with the original model, you can’t with the Lite for obvious reasons. Fourth and lastly is that the original model has a lot more options for, well, everything that it does and offers, like adding extra joycons and while maybe only a few games aren’t compatible with the Lite version (due solely to the controls) odds are many will miss Mario Party and that’s on the list of games that’s controls are incompatible with the Lite. Just get the original, you’ll be far happier.

Controls are largely intuitive for a generation familiar with hand-held controllers, and/or handheld gaming. I purchased in anticipation of sheltering-in-place during the Covid-19 pandemic as an alternative to the larger Nintendo Switch. I found the controls and smaller sizing compared to the Switch in portable mode a perfect compromise for convenient game play. However, certain games e.g. high-resolution and / or more interactive game-play like Zelda: Breath of the Wild or even Assassin's Creed, would likely be more enjoyable on the big screen option offered by the larger Nintendo Switch console. All that to say, I'd definitely recommend the Nintendo Switch Lite for fans of the old GameBoy or GameBoyColor, and newer / younger gamers. The handheld fits nicely, is more portable, and isn't as much of a pocket crunch if lost damaged during your travels. I'd easily throw this in my carry-on luggage, or commuter bag for a road-trip, business trip or leisure travel. Its the perfect size to keep younger riders entertained on a journey, so definitely a great option for families with multiple children, or young / nostalgic adults from the 80s, and 90s. I would recommend.

Bought this for our 15 year old daughter. Wasn't sure if she'd like it, but the game's controls are easy to understand and she loves it.

Wish you could plug this into the tv but I guess that’s why it’s $100 less then the full switch at 299. Daughter loves this console

Excellent gift for anyone that is a gamer. Highly recommend.

This is perfect for handheld mode. I own a regular switch too and the lite feels much better handheld especially since it has a real D Pad. I would definitely recommend especially if you have kids and need multiple switches.

Bought this as a B-Day Gift for my teenager who has to share the family switch with his little brother and sister... peace for everyone now :) It is an excellent device anad with cloud saving, he can go back and forth between devices

Wonderful travel device. Perfect for kids getting through olane travel. Higly reccomend

Great for younger kids Light and easy to travel with

I bought it mostly for animal crossings but I love it so much! The color, the shape, plus it’s light! Super cute. Looks a tad cheap in my opinion but it’s my fav otherwise.

Great little product, hours of fun and endless possibilities. We gifted our son, he was thrilled
