Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise - Switch

To small and its cracked

I’ve had the original Switch since day one. I’ve loved the platform for many many reasons, mainly because Nintendo seem to just be on the ball again with that old school magic. So many awesome games. Why did I buy the lite when I have the original? Well, 90% of the time I would play mine in handheld mode. I don’t have kids yet and only used Dock mode when playing Mario Kart with the wife or friends. Other than that, it’s train commute, flights and chilling on the sofa being lazy. The Lite is the perfect handheld mode Switch, I prefer the design, the feel and the screen. The library of games as well is excellent and I really feel like I have the first truly modern Game Boy replacement with a great selection of classic games, new indie games and AAA Nintendo originals like Breathe of the Wild. I love playing family friendly games like Mario Kart or Monkey ball with the original in Dock mode. Then using the Lite as MY OWN dedicated space to focus on completing adventure like Links Awakening or Celeste, in my personal mind space. It stays in my bag and goes everywhere I go. I’m removing one star from an otherwise glowing review because I think it’s a mistake to not have any TV out functionality. I understand it’s handheld only and out of the box, I don’t think it should have it. But, there should be the option to. The original Switches modular approach to every use case was perfect. £280 for a handheld and a dock when needed. The dock sells for £80-100 on its own, so in theory, if Nintendo did a normal switch without the dock, it should retail for £199. There is £50 android smartphones that have the capability to do HDMI out, so why has Nintendo removed this entirely from the Switch Lite? Have it as an optional extra. Not expecting it out of the box for £199, but let us buy a dock to turn it into the TV out mode, even if it’s a more expensive dock. Yes, I’ll have to buy a pro pad or Joycons (already have them), but give us that option. Yes, it was fine to reduce the cost but we didn’t get that saving passed onto us folks. By RRps, removing the HD Rumble, the Dock, the L and R Joycons was enough to reduce the RRP by £80. So, for this reason I am left disappointed with Nintendo’s decision. Will it sell like hot cakes? Absolutely? Am I a niche who feels this way? Very likely. But if you’re a family who want to buy this and then opt in the future for the Dock mode at a later date, you will have to buy a whole new console. Unless of course, Nintendo make a Dock mode only version that isn’t portable in anyway.

Love it, Love it, Love it!!!. As someone who never connected his Switch to his TV and never found the need for disconnecting my Joy-cons, buying this was a no brainer. Its much lighter and has a slightly longer battery life than the original Switch. The turquoise colour is absolutely stunning too. Only two small drawbacks, first off, I wish they made the buttons a bit bigger for us adults with large hands (and disabilities) and secondly, I found that the system gets really hot whilst charging the battery. Other than this, its perfect for me and perfect for on the go gaming.

Great... My Grandson is thrilled.. Fast delivery

This item came with a European charging plug only. I am highly disappointed that I purchased this item back in Oct for a Christmas present and opened it up today and no way to charge it. Do not buy this system from this seller. Nowhere did it say anything about the charging unit.

Just as the Nintendo Switch lite is suppose to be. The color is flawless, the system works great! My child loves her new switch. The lite is the best option for her. Light weight, smaller than the normal Switch with the same capabilities.

Wee one loves it, had to replace a joystick after a month though that could be owner error

Bought it for my wife, due to her having some health issues that meant the heavier full switch was uncomfortable. Its lightweight, so suits perfectly.

It came early and absolutely no faults with it whatsoever

I’m very pleased to have this device, now I have a portable game system for myself and can do things my way. Thank you for the chance that made this possible.
