Wait until Nintendo is finished being sued for selling cheap defective garbage to people and you might get a version that won't be defective in 2 months. Sucks cause I really want to give them my money too but it's impossible to justify paying 250$ for a defective brick that I will most likely have to ship to them for repairs if they even offer repairs to Canadians...

A bit of a silly rant here but I've always said that handheld game consoles have the worst commercials when it comes to what you get compared to what they sell you. Surprisingly so Every ad for a major handheld shows the owner taking their device to an exclusive party full of models at the top of a Dubai skyscraper and either becoming the life of the party or starting a fuckin LAN party with 6 other friends that also brought their handheld. It's insane. Fuckin...every ad at some point has to show to some guy at the beach playing their handheld before some hot chick comes over and asks for a go at Zelda or whatever. They bond over Metroid Prime or some shit. It's comical. The truth is that 99% of handheld usage is done by someone taking a shit or laying in bed covered in snack crumbs. Very few actually use a handheld "on the go" outside of a plane or school. I recall the Vita branding itself as a device that would allow a young businessman to start a game of MLB The Show on his PS4...at 7am before work...and continue the same game on the bus when he left for work. Nobody in the history of ever has done that. Sure, you may have taken a handheld to work so you can play on break or whatever but no corporate junior executive has ever sat at the back of a bus...in a major city...and not only played a game but celebrated like a jackass while doing so 😅 You'd get jumped and robbed doing that bullshit. It's just amazing how handheld commercials lie more than alcohol ads and car ads! Like, you may actually get laid after drinking that shit if, say, a woman also drank a bunch of the same shit. Buy booze. You may get laid. That car/truck may get you laid or allow you to haul more lumber or whatever. Buy car/truck and haul more lumber. However, no, buying this handheld won't allow you entrance into The Roman Collusium at night to play a 10 person game of Mario Kart with your supermodel friends. Zero chance. None. Zero. 😅

Yes I know the original can do that but the fact it’s lighter and a little smaller were great. I absolutely love it, feels a lot more solid than the original and all the buttons feel a lot better to me. I’m very happy with the lite and my daughter is over the moon she has her own 👊🏼😊

I enjoyed the Switch overall, thought it was a great handheld but as a home console I always found it a little bit sub par, I do my gaming on my PS4 Pro but I'm tempted by the Switch lite because it basically fully focuses on what I enjoyed about the console in the first place.....plus I really wanna play Link's Awakening.

Add bluetooth for wireless headphones and themes like the 3ds and music etc. Thats what i really want. Saw what happend to the WiiU. If the Switch wasn't a hybrid they'd be in trouble.

I often find the standard model on sale around $250. So for $50 more, you get an $80 dock, detachable controllers, rumble, the right joy-con sensor, the ability to play on tv and the ability to swap joy cons in case they drift. The lite is appealing, but I just don't see the value. You're also blocking access to, not a large, but a significant portion of the library. If they can produce a pro model with a similar form factor, they would be unstoppable.

I agree it's dumb. I'm from the UK and I've even seen the normal switch (launch model) bring sold for £180 first hand, £20 less than a new switch lite. Much more worth it imo.

Well to be fair this is most likely because the switch has now nearly three years of age. You better believe that the same treatment will be done with the switch lite when time passes. Maybe you will find it for 150. Who knows?

I have a long commute to work, so for me the switch lite makes more sense regardless of how low the OG switch can be bought for. I paid around £140($175) for my switch lite and zelda links awakening. At that price, its a steal.

Nice to see a more sensible review. I’ve been sick of listening to all the “shouty” tech reviews that just list all the things it doesn’t do. If it docked and had removable joy cons it would be a switch!!!!! Why can’t people get it into their heads? I play handheld GB, GBA, 3DS still. I have owned two switch consoles and got rid of them both due to creaky joy cons that become loose over time when using hand held. I now have the lite and it’s perfect for Handheld lovers.

If there is a Switch “Pro” down the line, I hope that a longer lasting better is on the list. Yes, I know the new Tegra X1 in the Switch Lite and new model switch automatically boost battery life because of efficiency, but if Nintendo boosts power, I hope they add a better battery. I’m willing to pay the price for it.

I think I will wait for a new model with a dock feature. This one is still lacking some finetuning, and the few improvements aren't really worth the double dip in my opinion. And I just like to hook it up on the TV whenever I get the chance. I can play on the go during travels and later on a hotel's TV screen. That's what I liked about the Switch in the first place.

Yeah they might make a more powerful version like they did with the 3ds. I'll wait for that. Obviously, it won't be coming out soon because they don't want it to eat into their lite sales, but maybe in latd 2020 as a prediction.

The Switch Lite is a downgrade in every way to the 2nd Gen Switch besides the lighter weight. It's aimed at people who don't already own a Switch, but at the same time it's only like $50 cheaper which is definitely not worth getting rid of all the features in the full 2nd Gen Switch.

Having an original Switch the Lite doesn't really appeal to me much. The main culprit is Nintendo's handling of sharing your library and saves between two systems, which is a lot more inconvenient than it needs to be, but than again I feel as though this system wasn't intended for people like my self but for people that are looking to make a nice gift or those looking to get into the Switch for a cheaper price. If I could give any advice to someone whose considering a Lite it would be to wait and save up another hundred and get the regular Switch, the amount of extras is well worth it. I know if I bought the Lite as my first system I'd always regret not getting the original Switch.

I've always wanted a switch but never as much as I do with the lite. Being a proper dedicated handheld makes it more appealing to many people. I always loved handhelds and have owned most of them growing up. There's just something about a handheld that can't be replicated by anything else.
