buy the switch lite if: you travel alot want to save some money dont really use the tv (or have one) dont really need or want the switch features (edit: its been like 3 years LMFAO. final conclusion: buy it but like only if ur committed to using and are gonna actually play a bunch of different games instead of leaving it in the corner and picking it up after 2 years)
i have a switch lite and i think that it is better than the regular switch due to the fact that i do not want to use the docking that it has and it is way cheaper
This is literally the perfect Switch for me. I only wanted a handheld to play the new Pokemon games and I want a lighter device, with better battery life and a lower price. I've always held off on the Nintendo Switch but now this gives me a reason to get one. Nintendo clearly knows who they're targeting with this.
@@zulfikariqbal5204 they are, especially with it being made with the same part as the regular switch. It's just a matter of time. And before you go off like a moron, if suggest you watch SpawnWaves teardown of it.
I would buy this for the size. I still love my Switch regular. But, I can easily hide the Lite while working so I can do sneaky play sessions or work poop breaks.
@@goldiful9439 Coral is pink right? If so I'm thinking of buying it just bc my first Gameboy ever was pink (mainly cuz it was the only one available), so for nostalgia's sake I'm thinking of getting jt
Kate Devlin exactly lol 80 dollars aint much these days, and if you need it for something else then dont buy a 200 dollar console either,i live by this rule ,if you cant buy 5 of something than you cant afford 1..
@@GamersWorld22 Man I noticed as soon as he walked through the door I was like "Oh boy Jake what are you doing" and then he took off the Jacket and I was like "OK I see what you did there" lol 😂 😂 😂
Michael Mancuso in a lot of places that sell the original switch like target, Best Buy, Game Stop and Walmart are completely sold out. For me there is no place in a 250 mile radius has the Nintendo switch, only the switch lite. I really wanted the original switch so I could have the options to play on TVs with friends but it doesn’t seem like these retail places are going to get the switches in stock anytime soon. Hopefully they can get more stock of them in April but it will probably come in towards the end of April. I just want to play animal crossing 😭🤣🤣
I am from germany and same bro, the normal switch is sold out everywhere... on amazon some people are selling it for 500 euros At some shops the lite is still available I am really tempted to grab it because the normal switch will be available in June or early July here in germany again according to the shops..
@@aliyahcrz Hey, you can play any game compaitable with hand held mode. So basically anything anyone who owns a switch could play on could play. The only difference is you can't play games that are t.v only. So just dance is out
Switch Lite is really fun. Super light and comfortable to hold for hours on end. Battery life seems respectable as well, and despite being a super advanced cutting edge display it's good for an LCD that costs 200$. Generally responsive UI and good load times also. Easy to access SD card slot and good speakers as well, although they could be louder. Main annoyances so far are: no output to TV (literally missing the required hardware), and no access to the device bluetooth, so you can pair controllers but you can't pair headphones with it.
I bought my switch lite last month and I love it. I would absolutely recommend it, and I’m very happy with it. It’s a lot more comfortable to play portal than the original switch, and I’m so happy I bought it. If you’re thinking of buying it, and if you’re only planning on playing it portably, I would absolutely recommend you buy the switch lite. I have the coral colour, and it’s beautiful. I do not at all regret buying this.
@@ktbigdog4718 witcher is great (I played it on the pc). I've been looking to get a Switch (specially for Smash Ultimate). Just having some trouble making myself spend that much money 🤣
Honestly Jake, to me I couldn't have cared less about docking my original Switch as I never use the dock. Am too afraid of scratching the screen as well as the fact that my TV is in an awkward spot to set the dock up to not to mention that it was too heavy and/or bulky to take with me, but the Switch Lite, I agree with you. I'm LOVING this. Will use my normal Switch solely in Tabletop mode on a stand (no not the kickstand), and the Lite for everything else, especially lying on my bed to play it. Also is it just me, or does the resolution on the Lite look better than it does on the OG Switch? To me it does.
For worrying about scratching the screen, get a cloth or towel and use it to cover up the front part, so that they screen is undamaged, but leave the USB port exposed to well, dock it!
Masked Piano Player I love video games, I love my Switch, and that Teal with the white is verrrry tempting, but I have already told myself if they release a Switch Plus or XL, I’m in but not the “Lite” version.
Actually it is. When held in portable mode,it looks very similar to a nintendo switch,uses the same tech and uses the same game cards as the original Switch so you are proven wrong
He entered the room: huh, that was kinda like... He took off his jacket: now, that reminds me of... He replaced it with a new one: okay, this is too much like Mr.... He walked over and sat on a bench: alright, that's close enough He threw his shoe while changing it: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
I bought mine with the same color in November and happy with it. I thought about buying the original one but I don't play much on tv anyway, so this was a better choice for me. So I'm happy with it.
The tactile feel for the buttons are also different from the joycon, they have a more crisp feel than the original and feel great, especially if you're sensitive to those types of things. I really really want to get a lite but I'm concerned of the analog drift and not being able to repair/replace it easily. It's so pretty tho *____*
To be honestly I’m the type of person that loves playing consoles made for one person so this is perfect for me. I also don’t want anything too big so the size is perfect as well. I can’t wait to buy this!
@@lilchad-ig1oj not saying it as a hater (I own a psvita and a switch), but nintendo also has its legendary games that Sony will never have, the GOTY 2017 being one of these
I've been on the fence with this one. I want a switch for breath of the wild, odyssey and animal crossing. Not sure whether to go with the original or lite
OMG! Ive been confused on which to buy for my self and this really helped me consider Switch Lite. Not only that it’s cheaper it can also do almost everything a regular switch can hahaha thanks a lot!!!
This whole joycon drifting situation is being so overestimated...Every console to ever exist with a analog stick will have this problem at some point. Even the PS4 and the Xbox One have it and no one goes out crying on social media Just take the analog stick out and replace it with a new one lol
Lol ikr? I see this as a huge Fuck You to the 2ds/3ds systems. Sure, Nintendo is saying they will, "Still support them" but you know once they see the numbers earned from the Switch Lite, they're going to go with the Victor.
@@MultiRekrap I mean... To be completely honest, the 3DS is kind of outdated at this point. The hardware in it simply isn't powerful enough to power new games, and why develop games for a dying console when you've got the Switch Lite basically making it obsolete anyway?
Buying a lite was the best choice I’ve ever made. I adored the 3DS and have always wanted the perfect handheld since the psp and psp go so it was perfect for me.
Even though I'm a year late I'm glad I saw this. Very informative talked about everything I needed to and now I'm sold and will go get my switch lite tomorrow along with Breath of the wild
@@josueramirez1372 Thank you for your reply! I just got mine too, a few days ago. None yet, hopefully never lol. For a Switch Lite this is complicated.
Had the switch for years and I don’t think I’ve ever docked it before. I use my PS5 or series S for the TV and switch for bedroom/taking a shit/on the go gaming
