My biggest gripe with the Switch Lite isn’t that it can’t be docked or connected to the TV, but simply because IT’S MISSING HD RUMBLE. There are countless games that I can think of that have such nuanced rumbles built into them that just increases the immersion so much more. Loved the console, but eventually sold it in favour for an OLED just to have the rumble back .

I love that the switch lite exists, but I agree with your statement that it's been really overshadowed by the original switch. When you're given the option to pay $100 more for the ability to connect to a TV, it almost feels like you're missing out by not spending the extra money. I would have loved if Nintendo allowed people to plug the switch lite in to a TV using a USB-C to HDMI connection or sold an aftermarket dock, but unfortunately that's just functionality that you can never get back after the initial purchase.

I will say, part of this is because I usually tell people if they are getting it for someone who is younger, I recommend the lite because of the fact it can't get broken as easily. With the original switch, there are so many ways it can get broken just by taking off the controllers alone so I always recommend the lite for younger people.

While it's certainly not feasible, and it might feel unfair to those who don't own both, it would've been a cool feature if it could pair with a normal Switch that's docked - essentially granting the player a "Wii U" experience where maps/etc could be displayed on the gamepad like certain Wii U titles.

I loved the Switch Lite a lot more than my Switch. It was smaller and more portable, more comfortable, and the buttons felt way better.

Also, the lack of a stand was also a pretty big downside.

The Switch Lite was there for me when I was trapped in the barracks with nothing to do and my PsVita was getting boring. Best version of the Switch

Same here. The only reason I haven't upgraded to an OLED is because I barely use handheld mode, so all the features of the revision wouldn't really be worth it for me

My switch lite is one of my favorite handhelds I’ve ever had, and playing my regular switch as a handheld makes my hands and eyes tired it’s huge! A huge bonus is the lite is so durable! I have dropped both the switch and lite and the lite just bounces back from anything.

I recently played on my nephew’s Switch Lite and was blown away by the tactility. The thing is I can’t pass up the OLED screen and longer battery life.

I have two of these. I bought a teal one for my son and for some reason I just thought it was so cool that I bought myself a yellow one. Our vanilla Switch works fine for portable but I feel more comfortable taking the Lites on the go vs. the main Switch. If I lose a Lite, then I’m out a strictly portable unit and it’s not as expensive to replace. If I lose the main Switch, now I can’t play on TV and a bit more expensive to replace. Plus I can’t accidentally break the JoyCons off the Lite if I were to drop it for some reason.

I can imagine if they finally announced a new console they also throw a sort of Game Boy micro or Wii Mini version of the Switch, but with the size of a PSP or PS Vita

If it had been released before I got my switch I think I would have bought it (Lite) first. I have a very good PC for gaming at home, and switch for playing when I'm travelling or just want to play in bed. The dock is gathering dust in my closet.

I loved my Lite, got me back into console gaming and a lot of the game series. It was such a good Indie and JRPG machine for me. Last year I changed it to OLED and sometimes I regret that, the screen is so much better and I can finally play sports games, but just the feel of the device is so much worse with how flimsy it is. Plus Lite is so comfortable to bring with you being smaller, I barely get my Switch with me nowadays unless I know that I'll have time to play, Lite was with me daily

The disc drive can be purchaseable separately on the PS5 slim in case someone hasn't mentioned it.

My thought the day it was announced.

I got my Switch Lite the same day Metroid Dread launched, along with Metroid Dread. I got the Lite because I wasn’t sure I was going to like the Switch and it was $100 cheaper than the other OG Switch, at the time. I still have my Switch Lite, along with a Tears of the Kingdom OLED. I love both of them, so much! Diving into the Switch was one of the greatest video game decisions I ever made. My Lite is primarily used for on the go gaming, yet I do play my OLED mostly in handheld mode around the house. I’ll never get rid of my Lite as it has proven to be a great little system in design, construction, and convenience. Thanks for the video, Scott. Missing option or not, I love my Switch Lite!

Can confirm that the Lite feels amazing to play and hold in your hand! I have a day one Switch, V2 system, OLED and a Lite and even though I don't use it much, it feels 10x better than my other systems.

The word you are looking for instead of "lesser" is Compact.

What surprised me was that they didn't do a undockable version. It would've made just as much sense.

My favorite part about this video was seeing Scott's reflection in the screen

I appreciate you showing love to this system, as some seem to like to make fun of it. I have a yellow Lite myself and bought it right before Covid hit when it was pretty new. I've gotten a lot of use out of it considering I'm a very casual gamer.

I got the turquoise one for Christmas of 2019, and while the joysticks pretty much stopped working, it still serves me well when I use an external controller. I play Monster Hunter Rise, Generations, SSBU and Hollow Knight on it with no issue.

My Switch OLED is the main way I play games, but I got a Switch Lite to bring with me on a trip last summer since I didn't want to bring a $350 console with me. I'm so glad I got it. It's super comfortable and I modded it with a transparent purple shell and it looks rad as hell. It's fun to have.

Switch light is basically the OG 2ds of the switch

I ran into this issue yesterday as well, I was considering selling the one I bought on eBay used for $130 2 years ago but as I was getting ready to transfer my second profile back to my main Switch I loved the feel of the console. So yeah I guess I’ll be keeping it, I love Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl edition that is a homage to the Diamond and Pearl DS Lite.

I just got a used Switch Lite since I want to play games in a more portable way. And just like you said, it is kind of impressive to play Switch games in the smaller handheld, while in the regular Switch I'm always thinking how better it would be if I could have a more powerful Switch.

I impulse bought a lite for a low price when a store was closing down, and it has become my primary switch. Whilst I get Scott's argument, the lite feels so much nicer in the hand, and is that little bit more compact that makes the difference between noticing it floating around a bag and not. Being able to have the lite in a bag pretty much all the time means I end up playing it a lot more.

@Kirb-dv5hy

5 ай бұрын

yeah the small size is the main selling point to me. The normal switch is so big i dont even like playing handheld so i just keep that docked all the time. The comfortablility outweighs the annoyance of swapping between consoles

I think that not having an option to switch joy cons in case they broke(cause joy con drift is still a problem) can discourage some people into getting this version, but despite that it’s the best feeling compared to regular one

I only have a Lite now. Have bought and sold every other iteration. When you factor in the size, durability, comfort, and value (buying used especially) the Lite is an amazing dedicated handheld, and that's all I need from a Switch.

I got myself a switch lite because we've got a family-shared switch at my parents' house and I'm travelling a lot between them and uni so it was perfect for me to play alone during the week and share some games across devices

I bought the Lite because two things: the price and the hope for the next 5 to 10 years the comunity could make, homebrew, new games AND the possibility to connect it to a screen through a modchip or something. I'm sure this little device will be a very good toy for experiment in the future.

The newer version of the ps5 digital edition now does come with the option to add a disc drive. I agree, I think that it is great they gave people the option if they want it.

TBH I got the Dialga Palkia switch light because it was a beautiful throwback to the limited edition DS version and to play pokemon and mario games (and BOTW and eventually TOTK). Pokemon I think is especially MEANT to be played in handheld mode

The bane of every kid who asked for a regular switch for Christmas

The Lite was the first Switch I ever bought. Got the original a few months after that, but I have to say the Lite is by far one of the most comfortable controllers(or just things in general) that I've ever held.

Went from the Lite to the OLED and the started missing the Lite so I bought a new one during a sale. I do the taking the light with me on travels, it is just less space in my bag. I love both tho.

I play on switch lite primarily purely for the dpad and regular feeling buttons. Satisfy grip cause even tho I have small hand they still cramp up. I use the clamshell case for bringing in the back back and playing for no more than 1 hour.

I own this bad boy because I wanted to replace my 3ds and already had a ps4. Also spending less money hurt my soul less. What can I say other than I live in constant fear of drift and it is a miracle it survived playing dmc 3. And really regret not being able to buy ring fit adventure. Sure hope the next nintendo console is backwards compatible

The lite is my main switch but ive had both. It fits in bags a lot easier than the normal switch and the buttons being clicky on the normal switch really annoys me

i bought a switch lite in 2020 when lockdown hit so i had something to do but didn’t feel like i was blowing a crazy amount of money on it. 4 years on and i’m still super happy with it, if anything i see friends with normal switches and feel glad i got the lite instead.

I have an OLED and Lite. OLED in the gaming room and Lite sitting on a little Hori dock on my office desk. To me, "switch" means switching between my two Switches. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Lite. I personally like using the Lite while laying in bed because it is so lightweight. It's also likely the one I'd bring while traveling.

I’d totally nab one of these for a lower price, they’re much more comfortable than any other switch model

The Lite is actually my go-to Switch. I keep it in my nightstand for any game I know I'll play exclusively in handheld, while my regular Switch I use mostly as a TV console for games like Smash or BotW. Prolly helps that I picked it up during the pandemic when regular Switches were IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of, but regardless, I love my goofy little d-pad holder.

I went traveling around Asia for 8 months. The switch lite was a godsend. I've always been a handheld gamer so I never feel like I'm missing out not having a TV mode.

They made a switch lite for me. I have many switches in my house, but I mostly play on my lite. I love this this thing, and if they ever updated it with an OLED screen, I’d probably buy it.

I'd kill for an OLED Switch "Micro". Make it smaller, lighter, with better brightness, contrast, and less noise/ideally no fan, if they can manage. Shoot, I'd buy five of them, no joke. Enough for our household, plus a couple of friends.

As a Switch Lite player, it's nice to see someone talk about it after awhile.

I like the switch lite. Easier to carry around than the og switch. It feels a lot more sturdy in the hand.

I like to use the Switch Lite for fighting games, shoot-em ups, or any game that benefits with the D-pad

I have the regular switch since 2018 and now I'm actively using the lite version. The lite is the ultimate "portable" console, but the feature that I miss the most is HD rumble, or any type of rumbling, it affects the inmersión... Saludos desde chile ✌🏼😎🇨🇱

I’ve always loved the carpet background. It’s so cozy.

I got one of these for my wife for scalper prices 250 when the pandemic hit because she had to have the yellow one. They had the other 2 colors everywhere, but not the yellow one. She loves it, though. It's perfect for her. She never wanted a dock and liked that it was compact and yellow. I really appreciate they gave us an option like this. It's really cool. Definitely not a households primary switch though

Always figured people were avoiding these because of stick-drift issues. The controllers are built in so if they start drifting they take the whole system with it. Like, my initial set of joycons started drifting after a little over a year, thats alot of money to put towards a console that will barely make it to year 2.

This thing was definitely made for train commuters in Japan. The handheld market is so much stronger there given the lifestyle and the social aspect. I wish it were different here in the west (especially most of the USA), but that's just how it goes.

I bought a switch lite for the release of SM3DAS because it was $140CAD cheaper before tax. I have had no regrets. It's been 3 years and it's still fantastic.

They could implement a “sleep on close” function using the ambient light sensor (ALS)

I didn't realize the kick stand was a kick stand. I thought it was an oversized sd card cover.

i love my switch lite bc i love playing games handheld and on the go. i also love all the colors they come in, especially the sweet yellow : ). im hoping nintendo releases better versions of all of the switch family - depending on what they do with the lite, i may upgrade. sometimes i wish i could connect it to my tv via HDMI or bluetooth or that the lite had a slightly bigger screen so that i can actually see what's happening in stardew valley, but other than that i'm still so happy with my lite.

anyone with a lite should get this specific flip case, its so good. doesnt bulk it up but still protects screen and sticks perfectly in a bag. i've never taken mine out of it for as long as i owned it and yellow x grey is a real nice look. the top being somewhere at the back isn't half as big a deal as scott tells. as for the kickstand, it being flimsy was part of the design, because kids slamming on the thing when it stands up will only make the stand snap off and not break the whole backplate. and yes, not being able to connect to tv is to reduce cost of the system to hit the 200 dollar pricepoint, since there wasn't much else to save money on, considering it needed to still play everything the big brother does.it saves like a chip and hdmi licensing fees

I think it’s a pretty niche product but serves an important market. The cheaper price makes it way more palatable for parents of multiple kids. Each one will want a their own Switch (especially for long trips or car rides) to play on and this helps cut costs and solve arguments vs giving them a priced and more fragile iPad or some garbage cheap Android tablet
