Going on vacation? If your taking the family You might need to stop by Best Buy for something to keep the kids busy - like the Nintendo Switch Lite! Lightweight and small size makes the Switch Lite the easiest way to play on-the-go. Shhhh! Keep it a secret while you play your favorite Nintendo Switch games in this inconspicuous dark grey color option and without lugging the size of the original. I always refer to the Lite when we I am out of the house; With its smaller size and more portable than the original - at nearly half the weight - makes carrying everything else so much easier. It’s the first thing I reach for before heading out. Plus the thing just feels right in the hands. If you don’t have one, get one! There’s was no question whether to buy it; we’ll worth it.

Great product. Super lightweight. You can play all your old retro games from nintenedo, super nintendo all the way up to game cube. It plays all switch handheld games. So convenient to carry along with you as it fits in your back pocket or small hand bag. Batterie life is great. Come in various colors, which is fun. It has bluetooth audio tech, also you can connect in 3.5 audio jack for wired sound. Micro sd card slot is convenient and simple to install. You can even watch you tube! You wont leave home without it!

I already own an OG Switch, but with Nintendo's decision to only allow one island per console for the upcoming Animal Crossing title, they were able to squeeze out a little extra money from me. I was on the fence about the Lite, but ultimately decided the turquoise version was the way to go. Transferring my save data and downloaded games were an easy enough process. Plus I'm still able to play on my original Switch, so there's no issues with swapping gameplay between the two. Battery life certainly seems better, but I tend to keep my system plugged in at all times, so it's a bit of a moot point with me. Graphically I think games look better on the Lite than in handheld mode on the full-size Switch, which is definitely a plus. The only potential downside is if it ever gets joycon drift, since I'd have to send in the whole system. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen, lol. All in all, I'd say the Lite is definitely worth picking up...but I'd treat it more as a secondary system; I still rate the "big brother" Switch as the best one to buy.

I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch Lite and I’m extremely happy with my decision. The console is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and perfect for gaming on the go. The build quality feels solid, and the buttons and controls are very responsive, even during longer play sessions. The screen is bright and clear, making games look great whether I’m playing at home or traveling. Battery life has been impressive so far, easily lasting through multiple gaming sessions without needing a charge. Setup was quick and simple, and downloading games from the eShop was smooth and hassle-free. What I love most is how convenient the Switch Lite is—it delivers the full Nintendo experience in a compact, portable design. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys handheld gaming or wants a console that fits easily into their daily routine. Overall, this is an excellent value for the price, and I would absolutely recommend the Nintendo Switch Lite to gamers of all ages. I’m very satisfied with this purchase!

So I've had my blue switch lite for over a week now and I love it. I thought I would be making a bad purchase since the oled has the better screen and upgrades and this is my first switch but I don't regret it. I'm constantly playing metroid dread and its great. I can get about 2 three hour gaming sessions before having to charge it. I do have the screen brightness a little below 50% to get that extra preciousinutes out of the battery. The blue color looks the best, in my opinion, compared to the others. What I really like is that the lite has a dpad while the other models do not. All you need is a screen protector, a case and micro SD card and you good to go. The portability is fantastic and there are accessories that can help with charging away from home. If you can't get your hands on an oled get a lite. You ll save yourself $150 and you can use that to buy a couple of games or a a game and some accessories.

I gifted this to my significant other and it is perfect for playing cozy games together on the couch, it has been used almost every night since we bought it! The storage isn’t great but micro SD cards are not very expensive. It is the perfect size for travel and it feels very nice and durable.

The system is great for those on the go that want the better battery life and great games. I’ve got a launch console and purchased this with the intent of keeping this as the “primary” console and my original one as my home console. In case you’re wondering the differences are as follows: -screen and console are smaller in size and weight -battery is longer lasting -joy-cons aren’t detachable, they’re built into the system, which means no HD rumble, no IR sensor either -no kickstand -not able to be docked, this is a portable only system, but it runs the entire switch library as long as it doesn’t require the system to be docked -$100 cheaper That said, if this is a travel only supplement or you never play your system docked, this is the Switch for you. If you need the “switch” part of the switch, and want the freedom to detach the controllers and play the game on a tv, then buy the larger version (just make sure it’s the all red box version as that’s the one with the new battery and more efficient chipset like the lite).

I purchased a Nintendo switch when it came out and unfortunately it bricked on me near the start of Covid19, however I did not want to purchase another one for the hope of getting it fixed later on. When I finally gave in to buying the switch lite it was sold out everywhere, so I kept checking back and finally it was restocked and bought it! I'm loving it so far, I have small hands so holding it feels much better than the regular switch since it's a bit bigger. Funny thing was that my regular switch turned back on the day I received the switch lite lol so now I have two, but for now I've been using the lite because it feels much better in my opinion. If you don't ever want to play on the tv then this switch is for you.

I debated about getting either the regular switch or the Lite. I figured that I’d spend more time on handheld play anyway and I could save $100 going for the Lite, so that’s what I chose. The turquoise color looks amazing in person and the console is a super comfortable texture to hold. I bought it specifically for Animal Crossing New Horizons since we’re all stuck in quarantine right now and I’ve gotta say so far I really love playing on the Switch Lite (as well as the game itself lol)

I’m a 50 yo woman and consider myself a casual (and cozy) gamer. When I don’t want to be tied to a TV or computer, this Switch is perfect. It’s lightweight, fits into any bag, and easily allows me to find, download, and play the games I love. If you travel, like to sit outside, or just want a distraction during an oil change or pedicure, it’s worth the purchase!

This new switch lite is an amazing new console Perfect for gaming on the go. slimmer, less expensive version of the standard Switch and one of the best handheld game systems to date.

Great product for the price. While it does lack TV connectivity and a kickstand, the size and weight make it easier to hold for longer periods of time without fatigue setting in.

I never thought that I would need a switch lite until now, once I started playing this handheld device I was instantly taken back to when I received a ds for my birthday as a kid. This device is great if you travel a lot because it’s smaller and much more compact than the original switch, but the only downside is the missing addition of the docked play. However, I would definitely recommend this product, especially since it’s $100 cheaper than the switch

The Nintendo Switch Lite is a slimmer, less expensive version of the standard Switch and one of the best handheld game systems to date.

This is my 3rd Switch and I have to say that it's the most comfortable handheld version Nintendo has. The picture quality is crisp and vivid. The battery life is comparable. Very portable with a solid construction.

My kids are obsessed. Lightweight, portable, and doesn’t drain as fast as I expected. Coral color is vibrant and fun. Great for car rides and keeping things quiet when you need 10 minutes of peace.

cute color, very light, does everything i need it to. only complaint is that the device storage is very low, but you can easily purchase an external memory card which fixes this.

Bought this my Gf as she found the original switch too big. And this one is perfect. I’m even a little envious. It’s difficult to explain but it genuinely feels better to hold. The textured plastic used, the buttons all make it feel sturdier but I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise considering the joy-cons aren’t removable. The smaller screen isn’t an issue, and I would highly recommend this one for gamers with small hands. It has the same performance tech as the other switches just without the ability to switch to a TV. That said, if you really need the dock/TV playability, then go for the OLED or original. Great purchase, recommend!

Great product for kid to keep and busy and occupied. I got it for my nephew and he loves it

Purchase this device for my parents during the Animal Crossing hype. Holds the charge well. It’s a great price compared to the larger regular switch. Compact and light.
