Customer Ratings & Reviews

I LOVE playing this thing. It fits nicely in your hands. Very lightweight. Would buy this 100x again.

Switch lite is pretty nice. The color looks great. Good size and screen isn’t too bad. I haven’t had any issue with games or performance. It may not have the same functionality as the normal switch but it’s nice to have around when you’re bored.

Got it for my sister as a gift. She loves her pink!! Switch Lites are a good affordable purchase. However, before purchasing you really do have to be true to yourself and figure out if you really want to not have your games played on the TV. I made the extra $100 or whatever investment. It’s much more worth it for me, and I think I’ve put in plenty of time into playing my switch. If you aren’t interested in that at all, go for the switch lite.

I’ve always had a huge respect for portable game consoles since the PSP and the nintendo switch/lite is no exception. I’ve had mine for roughly about 6-7 months and I haven’t had any issues with it. For those wondering what are the differences between the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite goes as follows; Nintendo Switch Lite is smaller in comparison and more friendly to those wanting to play hand held, Nintendo Switch Lite DOES NOT HAVE REMOVABLE joycons, the battery life is also slightly lower on the Lite than the original Switch, and the Switch Lite also does not come and isn’t compatible with the Nintendo Switch’s Dock. The only issue that I’ve heard happens is when the controllers/joycons have drift, drift causes your controls to not respond to your movements making it frustrating to play. This is a bigger problem for the Lite since it doesn’t have removable joycons you’d have to send the entire console in for repair, as to the Switch you can detach the joycons and send those instead. However, I’d highly recommend purchasing a Pro Controller if you see yourself playing games such as Smash Bros that require fast pace movements to your controller. All in all the Nintendo Switch Lite is a great and amazing gaming console it’s small, easy to store, and a lot of fun to use! I would highly recommend it I have the new blurple lol and I find myself using almost every day!

The Switch Lite is ,in my opinion, a better device than the original. I play exclusively in handheld mode and this is more portable,has better graphics and battery life. I"m keeping the old one in case I ever decide to play in docked mode. A good buy if you play primarily in hand held mode or are a first time Switch buyer.

I could not find a Nintendo Switch Lite ANYWHERE at regular price. I searched well over a month and a half, stopping at Best Buy every day on my way home from work to see if they had any available. Their helpful and kind staff were always happy to search inventory, but were always sad to say that they weren't even able to special order it for me. They did, however, always tell me to check online and as promised I was able to find one on stock in the very early hours of one fateful morning! I love how Best Buy was true to their word in being able to find their Holiday rarest items online, if you really do your best to check constantly. In my opinion, the Switch Lite is truly the pinnacle of this generation's handheld gaming devices. It is just really a beautiful little device that works so amazingly and will have your loved ones having hours upon hours of fun. It is just so amazing how this sleek and light little gaming piece can play such great games as Breath of The Wild, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate all while playing miles away from your home! Best Buy provided me a product in immaculate condition at an amazing price compared to others during this Holiday. They were always true to their word, providing ship to store details that were perfectly on time! and despite worries of a delay I picked up my device on the exact day that was promised to me! Thank you Best Buy!

Though I call this a mini console, it really is mostly the same as the original Switch but without... the Switching feature to a TV that makes a Switch a Switch lol! You still have access to the giant library of games that the original Switch can play with the exception of gameplay that absolutely requires Joycons. However, if you like to have extended gaming session in bed from time to time, this is the device for you. The form factor, size, and weight are perfect for long sessions. Whereas I've owned the Mario Odyssey edition original Switch for a few years and gamed in bed with it quite a bit, the lite has become my default portable since it puts much less stress on my wrists and arms! The only downside I've noticed from a technical standpoint is the precision of the d-pad. You would think a historic company like Nintendo would be able to design flawless controls by now, but the d-pad does not respond like I would like it to in a game like Tetris 99. I even returned the first Switch Lite I bought to Best Buy to make sure it wasn't a defect with that particular unit, but it seems it may have been a design flaw. I heard the original units at launch had issues with hitting diagonals and it seems they've corrected that. But as a result, when playing against high level players in the end game of a Tetris 99 match, I'm more prone to making erroneous hard drops or left and right movements during a hard drop given how fast and accurate I have to play to win. This seems to only be with Tetris and I imagine the precision of the d-pad in platforming games may be enough (but I haven't tested it much).

The lite is an awesome hand held. I like the size and the color omg it’s so pretty! Very happy with this!

I've been wanting a smaller version of the Switch since last year. The original switch it too big to take on the go. Switch Lite is a lot smaller, lighter, slightly better battery life. Best of all, It's easier to take with me where ever I go compared to the original. 5/5 stars. Thanks Nintendo.

Easy to use and set up. Battery last a while. Controls are easy to use.

The switch is. Great.my.grandkids love it i bought one for.almost.all.of them

Love how light it is and easy to carry around. Only thing is that you can’t connect to twitch or to a TV.

This is a great starter Switch for kids who are just getting started!

I purchased this last Christmas for my son and he absolutely love it

I bought this for my daughter. She wanted one, so I got it for her. It works. She is happy. Is this a good enough review for you? What would you like me to say? Its the best thing ever since oxygen? It works and the customer is happy. End of review.

The Pink is beautiful, I love it. It's very compact and perfect for on the go gaming.

Amazing easy to use . Awesome product for a decent price. Bought a bunch of games and don’t regret

Perfect for my needs. Wanted something less bulky and more portable than the Switch (I find the Switch is still too large in handheld mode) and this fits the bill! Great graphics, and great performace. It is also very comfortable to hold, and the different color options make gaming that much more fun.

It was a gift for someone and they loved it highly recommended

Hubby gave this to me as a birthday gift and so love it!!! Enjoying Mario games like when I was still a kid.
