Nintendo Switch Lite in 2023 - worth it? (Review) 

The Switch Lite at $200 is solid value - but I'd still push people to pay more for a Switch that can actually, you know, Switch. Overall though, the Nintendo Switch experience in 2023 is still going strong! - For those curious on why my Switch Lite is purple, I modded it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ybD5MVJAxvU.html

The Lite was my first Switch but I prefer the OLED now for the bigger and better screen. The Lite is much more comfortable to hold though. As many have said a Lite OLED would be epic.

I love my Switch Lite. I have both it and an original Switch. The Lite is a blast on the go and It honestly gets more play than any other system I own.

I doubt it’ll happen, but for me, a lite OLED would be perfect. There are laminated display mods, but they still just aren’t as good as the OLED

It is absolutely worth it. I have both an OLED and the lite. If you are looking for a strictly handheld device and you expect a Gameboy successor, then I honestly believe that the lite is the best option. I love the screen on the OLED but if you're happy playing on a 3DS, then the lite is a massive upgrade. It also feels way better in hand in my opinion. If there was an oled version it would be a no brainer for any handheld gaming fan.

Love my lite, it’s so comfortable, compact, and I can’t wait for a softmod to release later on. I seldom use my tv and just want something as portable as possible with a good library.

I just bought the switch lite. Got a used one for $90 with everything I needed. It’s all I need since I already have consoles (PS4 & Xbox). I just wanted something for on the road. I love it! I’ve had it for about a week now

Personally, I'd say Lite is better. It's so easy to carry around, and I already have an Xbox One, so I wouldn't want to deal with setting up a whole other home console in my house, and I would've had to if I got the OG Switch or the OLED, and discovering the Lite took care of that. Before I knew the Lite existed, I was saving up for a normal one, and the handheld one was literally the form I was looking forward to, and I knew I probably was never even going to take the Joy-Cons off, and as soon as I found out about the lite, I completely switched (no pun intended) over to it, as it was exactly what I was looking for. Today, I enjoy my Switch Lite very much, with games like SSBU, Fall Guys, Undertale and Deltarune, Pokemon Unite, Kirby, and many more. I've even tried out the home console form of the Switch (my friend let me try it out on his) and it really wasn't great. And to think that I saved exactly $100 for the Switch that was way better for me is just..... Amazing.

My first Switch was a Lite! I tried all 3 of them, and initally thought the Lite would always be my favorite until I got an older Switch. After that, I ended up getting a Switch OLED and don't feel the need to go for a Lite. I just have a Switch that plays physical games and one that plays digital games.

I am considering getting a Switch Lite for vacation or traveling purposes. Judging from your suggestions and game examples on this video, I think I might consider one for getting smaller scale games specifically. Mind you, I DO have an OG switch and I love it to pieces, but sometimes I will accidentally snap off the joycon controllers when I don’t mean too when I’m playing on handheld mode. I’ll treat it like the unofficial next line for the 3DS and only keep it for like Indie games, platformers and puzzle games like Tetris. And considering that the switch JUST released GB and GBA Games for Nintendo Switch Online at the time of me typing this, I THINK now is a more appropriate time then ever to get my hands on a nice banana yellow Switch Lite, when the money is right of course. Thank you for this video. It was super helpful. One Month Later Edit: Got my Yellow Switch Lite and YES, I do indeed love it like I said I was. Lol Edit #2: Don’t you just love it when Internet strangers tell you that you’ve wasted money on something you were passionate about getting no matter what? It was my decision guys, I just don’t like using the OG detachable joy con Switch when I travel okay? Leave me be and go rant somewhere else.

ive had my switch lite since 2019 and still love it and play games on it. ive never had any issues with joycon drift

the thing about switch lite i like the most is that they can fit my side pocket, unlike normal switch, and for me i only use switch for it's portability, so switch Lite is perfect for me

Any form of Nintendo Switch is still worth it. With its massive library, it is worth it for preservation of physical games. We are heading towards an all digital future aka the SteamDeck and XBOX line of systems, but if anyone who is a physical collector and is still yet to get a Switch, the Switch imo is a very collectible system. Any physical game that has a chance to be rare like The Caligula Effect, I am snapping up. The Switch and the current generation 9 of gaming may very well be the last generation for physical games. We don't know for sure, but I am not taking anything for granted.

For me, not being able to play games on a larger screen isn't anywhere near a drawback. For space-saving reasons I don't have a TV, and if I want to play games on the computer then I'd open up steam. I've only ever had PC games up until now, so aside from trying a classmate's old gamecube almost 20 years ago this would be my first nintendo experience. Getting the cheapest option available seems like a reasonable way to dip my toes in. 3 hours of battery life isn't a problem either. I have a full time job and a pretty packed schedule in my free time, so I'm not worried about hitting that limit.

I wanted to get a hand-held game system besides using gaming apps on my phone. I'm a flight attendant and sometimes do airport standby for a couple of hours. The Switch Lite is a saviour to tackle boredom while waiting around at the airport.

My switch lite is a big part of my life. The only thing I miss is a rumble feature but besides that when I had a normal switch I only played in handheld mode so it works great for me.

I got so used to my Gameboys and 3DS's I never really gamed on a TV and take my games with me everywhere. The Lite hit the sweet spot for me...

If you playing multiple handheld console previous gen, Lite is the best for its size and weight, with cons no output display and battery not long lasting as V2/OLED. Also DPAD and the price tag is the strongest pro for Lite. I owned Lite Dalgia Palkia edition and recently just bought OLED Scarlet Violet, but for handheld I prefer more my Lite. Sure once I play my OLED the beautiful vivid screen is hardly to ignore, but the weight and too larger screen make me prefer to Lite more for handheld playing. Everyone have their own preference and this is just my humble opinion and preferrence. I owned Vita and PSP on the past thats why Lite was the best for me.

I have a Playstation so I don't want another console but would like to be able to play Nintendo games so I think this would be perfect. Thanks for the review.

We have both the OLED switch and switch lite, the dock for the switch has never left it's box. Kids just have no interest in using it docked to a TV, it seems so backward to them to play that way.

I’ve always been fond of Nintendo’s handheld gaming since the OG GameBoy. I still have an Advance SP, a DS Lite and a Switch Lite. I plan to mod the GBA SP eventually and my DS has hinge issues. The Switch Lite has some joystick issues. The one snapped off. They are easily replaceable with no soldering. I use each one still and the fact one is over 20 years old and the other approximately 15+, I would say Nintendo makes the best handhelds. PSP had such great potential but unfortunately, Sony abandoned ship on the handheld platform. I haven’t owned a Switch OG or OLED to compare the experience but the absence of being able to play on the tv is a downside to using the Lite.

As someone who's behind the wheel like 90% of my life, this is a perfect companion for me. I still have a charger in the truck all the time, so the battery life isn't that important, but I want something small so I can play games while waiting the cargo to be loaded/unloaded and to relax after a long drive. I've looked both at OLED, Lite and Steam Deck even (but it's more expensive), and made the decision to get a switch lite. First Nintendo console in my life actually.

I know this may not be possible for a lot of people. However, I have both the OLED and the Lite. For me the OLED is way too nice for me to carry outside the house so I usually just leave it home and will use that when I am inside the household. However, I bring my Lite with me everywhere and I love it. IF you can do this, I recommend it.

Switch Lite gets more use than any of my other consoles, I can spend hours playing games in the right light setting, but with a fluorescent light above or behind me, it gets hard to see things

I rlly hate that the dedicated hand held version of the switch , has the worst battery of them all

I had all models and the TV mode is honestly overrated. You can totally do without the TV mode because many games look really blurred and stretched out on a large TV. It’s easy to tell that many games were meant for a small screen and it looks much better, and more enjoyable on a small screen anyway. It really has to do with whether you need something to display on a TV. If you’re the introverted type of gamer like me (just like most people in Japan), you are probably the selfish type of gamer that always plays alone. Maybe it’s because you’re on the go most of the time and you don’t have time to play at home. If that’s the case, I think that the Lite is the best model, hands down. This is the only model that I feel comfortable with in bed or taking on the go. The regular and OLED are not true portables and you always get this weird feeling that something might break, come apart or go missing. With the Switch Lite, it’s all one piece so there’s less moving parts and less things that you can lose. If you take the regular Switch on the go, you can lose one or both of the joycons if you’re in a hurry to catch a bus or train etc. These things can happen and you should never rule it out. You can also lose or misplace the joycon straps if you have the regular Switch or OLED. This is just one less headache to worry about if you have the Switch Lite instead. Most people don’t care about motion controls and they prefer standard controls, so if you play mostly on the go and don’t care about motion controls, the choice is easy. You’ve already narrowed it down and the Switch Lite isn’t missing any feature that you’re actually going to use. If you’re not going to use the motion controls or the TV mode, there’s no point in getting the regular Switch. Personally, I feel that the Lite is the best model because it feels like a true portable that reminds me of the Gameboy and PSP, it is the most ergonomic and most comfortable, it does everything that the more expensive models can do, and it is less likely to break or come apart due to there being less moving parts. The main thing that you’ll have to sacrifice is TV mode but if you’re like me and none of your friends or people that you care about are into gaming, you’ll be playing on your own anyway, so you don’t need something that displays on a TV for everyone to see. If you’re the family type and you have friends/family that want to see what’s going on, you might think differently but this works just fine for people like me. It’s the people like us that the Lite is meant for. It’s not meant for everyone but if you’re the selfish, introverted type of gamer that wants something for your own enjoyment and for no one else, this is the perfect handheld.

Just ordered the Switched lite for my son. His 5th bday is on the 18th and no I don't think he's ready for the Switch yet. He is sooo rough with his Xbox one So I want to start him off small

Just got a lite I’ve been so out of time didn’t even realize that they weren’t doing the ds anymore 😢

I haven't wanted a console since the PS3 era. I have recently become interested in owning a handheld again as tablet/android gaming feels pretty bad 90% of the time. I also am VERY interested in Tears of the Kingdom because I played Breath of the Wild on a WiiU emulator and that was one game that almost tipped the scales for me purchasing a switch lite. So as a person who wants a handheld console again I'm seriously considering getting a switch lite. I'll wait for the launch of Tears of the Kingdom to make sure it's worth it before I buy though

Switch parts are cheap and easy to find. You won't need to solder anything to replace even the battery. I don't think joycon drift will be a problem on switch lite

I can totally see use for Switch Lite especially if you have the Oled that you use for yourself and home use (docked with tv) + have kids. You may not want them using/taking your fav Oled out so Lite may be better for them (less parts to lose, cheaper, you can still play Oled at home) or even for yourself when the big console is stuck with tv most of times. Lite is smaller so for people with smaller hands and as such even younger kids its obviously easier to play with lighter, smaller device. I owned all versions of Switch and for me only use (and at home) Oled is best but Lite is great when Oled is docked for tv use:) + just the feeling of Lite is more wholesome for some reason.

I prefer the switch lite, I always have it with me, super easy to carry around without having to worry about the joy sticks or whatever they’re called

I have had a Switch since 2017, and I didn't really use it much. Just had it for Zelda/Mario/Metroid/ etc. I recently decided to get the switch lite, I'm honestly not even sure WHY. I'm so upset I waited this long. It's so so so so so much more comfortable than the regular switch. It also FITS IN MY ****ING POCKET... which, was the biggest issue with the original model for me. Taking that anywhere was a joke. With the cloud saves now though, I feel like I have the best of both worlds. Though... atm I feel like I'm going to be playing with the lite 90% more anyway.

I have the switch lite and I love it the other switch consoles would make makes no sense to me because I have the ps5 and that is of course my main console I play all the time but I love my switch lite can play it on the go if I’m travelling sitting on the sofa it’s my console when I’m unable to get access to my Ps5. My on the go console love it!

before I though about buying the switch, I new nintendo would make revisions, my first choice would have been the switch lite but got scared of the joycon drift issue, so I instead bought the V2 version

I got this year a Switch Lite just to play Pokémon Shield, Shantae and other 2D indie games, because I already have a PC and a PlayStation, so I see the Lite as the handheld console that plays 2D or basic 3D games and Pokémon, just like a Game Boy, and those games tbh can benefit from a smaller screen, but if you want to play the biggest releases or maybe some of Nintendo's own AAA games, you may like a regular Switch, but for smaller games the Lite is really awesome, can't go wrong with a dedicated portable.

I recently bought a Switch Lite and it is definitely still worth buying in 2023. I love it. My kid never leaves home without it.

I'm waiting my Switch Lite blue purple arriving 💜. Can't wait ! And also I want to buy a digital Metroid Prime Remastered 😁

I love the switch in general. I’ve owned a few since launch and I’m actually stuck between choosing a lite or the OLED I currently have a I don’t do that much gaming at one go. I wouldn’t sit down and play like say 5hours + gaming. I love the handheld as the buttons are so soft and the console itself feels so good in the hands while playing. Yes the battery life won’t be the greatest but I don’t think that’ll affect me

Had my switch lite since December 2019 and bought BOTW with it, still love it to bits! It's easy to hold, and for me personally, I have a hard time reading text from the TV when I sit on the couch, so having a handheld that doesn't feel heavy is so nice! I eventually want a normal switch, but only if my lite dies LOL

I chose the switch lite over the others because I prefer playing in hand held mode when mum is on the xbox series x

I am rocking my own Nintendo Switch Lite Pokemon Edition 🤠❤️

Not plying any coop, having a 75 inches 4K tv (not a good choice for Switch games most of the time) and being interested mostly in Nintendo First Party games (I have a decent PC for other games), i think the Lite would be much better for me. ;) Thanks for the good pointers.

Yes it is WORTH IT NOW. I recently go the RARE brand new YELLOW COLOR. It has CHANGED MY LIFE. Joy-Con do NOT FEEL GOOD IN THE HAND. My OLED Nintendo Switch is ONLY FOR MULTIPLAYER. I FREQUENTLY carry my Nintendo Switch Lite IN MY POCKET and I LOVE THESE GAMES on THE TRAIN.

I’m an Xbox and VR gamer for different experiences but I feel like the lite is something I’d only play if I’m going somewhere like ok king road trips. I wouldn’t want to pay 350 for something that I know I wouldn’t play ALL the time.

Can't believe this is 4 years old. I just found out about it less than a year ago.

I had a Switch lite first before getting a switch oled with the lite. And I dare say it was great, and still is.

I just brought mine like a week ago and I love it so far

Thanks this rlly helps cuz my family have a shared switch and I was thinking about getting myself a switch lite so thanks for this it helps alot

But, is it worth it in 2024 ?

With all this content both now and way back I think it's safe to say Josh from 91 Tech would have a heart attack if Nintendo and Apple collaborated on something.

Id wait tho, im pretty sure they may make a switch lite oled, becuase it makes the most sense

I have a full-fat switch,but I’m contemplating getting a lite because of it’s smaller form factor,wondering if it would be good to carry around in a shoulder bag/fannypack

I got my switch lite because my sister took over the family switch and I never initially used it on the tv

you have the best intros and music sountracks

I went from the regular one to the lite and I’m glad. I really didn’t like how flimsy the joy cons are and I already have like 4 consoles hooked up to my tv

I’m scared that I’ll buy it and a new one will come out. Also already have the regular switch so not sure if it’s worth it. Just really want something I feel more comfortable traveling with like the lite.

Hi 91 tech! I love your videos.

If Nintendo did a Switch Lite OLED as a last hurrah for the system I’d buy one in a heartbeat. It’s a great handheld, far more comfortable than the full sized Switch in both form factor and weight.

I feel like nintendo could add video signal out through usb-c through a firmware update just like they enabled the use of Bluetooth headphones 3 years after launch, even a knock-off phone will do video and audio through usb-c!

The OLED screen is nice but don't you think that it defeats the purpose of having an OLED screen if someone plays on the TV all the time and never gets to use the OLED screen? The OLED model has the exact same internals as the regular Switch except for the 64gb storage and the improved stand that most of us don't use anyway because we don't play in tabletop mode. Why would you want to pay for features that you don't use anyway when you can just get the regular model for less? If it's docked 90% of the time, you will never get to enjoy the OLED screen. I have an OLED and a Lite. Coming from someone that hss both, this is a fair and honest opinion. The OLED screen is great but I honestly feel that the Lite is the best version of the Switch because it is more comfortable, ergonomic and is the closest to a classic handheld like a PSP and Gameboy. It also has an actual D-pad, and once you try it and see how much better it is than the directional buttons on the regular Switch, you won't want to go back to the awkward directional buttons. Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that the lithium ion batteries are charging the whole time that you are playing on a TV and this will deteriorate the battery of the regular Switch faster while the Lite won't be affected because it can't be played on a TV and you can ensure that you don't play it while it is charging. I had 2 laptops with Lithium ion batteries that I played all the time and I didn't have the patience to wait until it was done charging. Guess what happened after a few years? Both of the laptops' batteries went completely flat and needed to be replaced. It was only usable when connected to a power source and I wasn't able to use it on the go. Don't you think that this will happen to the regular and OLED Switch eventually? This is another reason why the Lite is the best model. Some people have been complaining about this online and people with 2017 model Switches said that their Switch only lasts an hour now on a full charge. Just so you know, this will also happen with the 2019 and Oled models in a few years. Pretty soon, the battery will go flat and it will only be usable while connected to a power source and it won't be usable in handheld mode. If this happens with laptop batteries, it isn't a trainsmash because it is widely available but Switch batteries are not available. It all comes down to what you want to use it for and if you want a classic handheld that is going to be reminiscent of the PSP and Gameboy, the Lite is the best and most reliable because it will have more longevity and it will still be able to be used in handheld mode long after the regular Switch becomes unusable in handheld mode due to it being unable to carry a charge. If you're a selfish introverted gamer like me that only plays alone and that doesn't have an audience to please, the choice becomes much easier because you only have to think about yourself and nobody else. None of my friends, family or people that I care about are into gaming and I am usually playing alone. Since nobody that I care about is watching me when I want to my privacy and to play these games alone, I don't really need it to display on a TV for them to watch, so a Lite does the job perfectly. Some of us actually prefer it this way and even if those people were into gaming, I still wouldn't care because I prefer playing alone in peace and I value my privacy more than anything. Some games are best enjoyed alone and people are just a distraction. Do you see how the Lite is so well suited for the selfish, introverted gamers like us? The people like us can get the Lite because it is only meant for our enjoyment and for nobody else. I know that most of you are the social gaming types and while you will agree with some of the things that I said, you won't agree with all of it. If you are one of those that resonated with what I just said, the Lite is better than the other models because you'll only be paying for what you use. The people like us can get the Lite because it is only meant for our enjoyment and for nobody else. For instance, a large number of people in Japan, Asia and many other parts of the world don't even have a single television at home. This is one of the biggest reasons why Nintendo has been so successful with their handhelds in Japan. I have seen many people in the comments that have confirmed the same thing. They use their laptop/tablet to watch streaming apps and they don't have a need for a television. Most of these people never get the chance to play at home because they have no television at home and they always play on the go. If they get the regular or OLED model but don't have a television, don't you agree that they are paying for features that they are not going to use? If you're one of those types of people, the Lite is the only model that makes any sense to get because you won't have a television in order to make use of the docking feature anyway. Anyway, to each their own. If you are the social type that likes playing with others, the Lite probably isn't for you but for those selfish introverts that vakue their privacy and that don't like people that much, it feels like it was made just from them. This is my personal favorite model of the Switch and if they just release and OLED model of the Lite, it would be the perfect handheld.

I own both an og switch & Switch Lite. I spend a lot of time playing on my Switch Lite my og Switch is almost always docked but I do take it out of the dock sometimes

i think the switch lite is perfect for me

When ever the Steam Deck comes up, I'm always reminded of the GameBoy vs the GameGear and the Lynx. Both were bigger than the GameBoy, had more power, played in full color(the GameBoy only had maybe 4 shades of grey), and was more expensive. The GameBoy thrashed the competition, despite it's under preformance. The Switch and the Steam Deck is the same issue. The Steam Deck is bigger than the Switch, has more power, plays full PC games, and is a bit more expensive. I guarantee that the Switch is going to preform better and it's already doing wonders

I love my switch lite. I actually have not even touched my original switch since I got my lite. I actually find games to, in some ways, be easier to play on the lite. I also have pretty much only played my original switch handheld only.

I have a switch OLED. It blows the switch lite out the way. They should done a few things with the switch lite: - OLED screen a must (like vita) - increase battery life (thicker would have been fine - removed proprietary charging and used a universal charger since it's just a handheld people should be allowed to use their phone USB C cable. - increased the power to match the docked version they had

Just ordered my switch lite yesterday ✌️

I already own a switch but my wife and I are going on a 2 week vacation in the summer and wanted to get something sorta small, easy to carry and a good game library. I was going to get a modded GBA but I realized switch lite is less than one of those which is kinda silly (in my opinion) especially when you look at the library of games available.

Just remember guys, they said the same thing about the 3ds, but now that it’s easily moddable, everybody wants one

My first ever switch was the LITE, last year I upgraded in december to Oled however my switch lite still sees usage

Problem is games are very expensive New models can't be mod either

I ordered the blue one cause it’s my favorite color

Some switch games are just not well optimised for portable use. For example fire emblem engage. The fonts are so small it prevents me from playing for more than an hour.

With the OLED and HDMI mod for the Lite…I think I have decided to drop to the Lite. I’m also going to add Hall effect joysticks and a modchip 😊

Considering it again. I only use switch lite because i only use the tablet and I'm not worried about TV usage. It still plays console strength games therefore if so switches one's mentality about what consoles are defined as anymore. I'll take this over the steam deck which uses more battery power and costs twice as much. If you want to get a TV with a console, get ANYTHING ELSE. It is built for portable capability and that is where it thrives. I don't intend on getting a switch that hooks up to the TV again and that's fine with me.

Steam deck is my main console for AAA and tv play. Switch lite is for Nintendo exclusives only and I don’t care play those on the tv since the games barely run at 1080p

Switch lite also doesn't have rumble which is a big pity

Can you use the lite as an extra controller? Like, pair it to your switch as a 3rd or 4th controller?

since the year 2012 when i first played skyrim it has been my dream to play skyrim on the go and the other options such as the gpd win or the other 2 switches just were just too expensive for me so when i heard about the lite i was so excited ive been playing for a year now and it has been great truly recommend

We own both original switch( by husband) and lite( me), the lite performance is great, never give me any issues I owned it from animal crossing a couple of years ago, games likes hollow knight, hades, p5r, p5s, smtV, totk, really good portable, litghter that the others two, very comfortable to hold, as a person who plays long sessions

Well hey the screen may be smaller, but i bet it would look way better than 3ds smash compared to ultimate on the lite if your only playing handheld.

Juat picked up a switch lite for a good price 2nd hand for gaming while i commute to work and its been a great little gaming station. Too bad nintendo games are so freakin expensive. Other than that its kick ass in 2023.

I’ve just bought one!

I got nintendo switch lite last month and i love it i have an xbox one to play on the big screen i got the switch lite mostly because of the game library and for traveling, if you are worried about the small screen i got used to it in like 2 hours after coming from an iphonne 13

Definitely buying one for Xmas

The switch lite has never been the same as the ds and 3ds, but it's still a cool system

I am with the v1 And i am prity happy with my switch I have only change the drifting joy cons with hori Split Pad Pro

I just purchased mine it’s gonna be my first Nintendo portable console

So I have my original V1 let’s go edition switch, the new OLED Pokémon switch and the Zacian and Zamazenta lite. As you can tell I have a Pokémon addiction 😂. But they all work in tandem together. My OLED is amazing handheld and the better battery over the V1 is much better. My V1 is almost purely docked now as I have two better handheld experiences. The OLED is my primary switch doing both handheld and docked depending on my mood to be honest 😂. But my lite is used for when I’m going out and it’s more portable and easier to move around. It’s a bit unconventional but it works

Thank you for this review,Im actually looking to get one for my little brother after he aced his tests 😊

i wish they would release something like a switch lite xl. if im home im playing on pc i only use it on the go but i do love having a big high quality screen on the device

Love my Switch Lite. I didn't care about TV connection but didn't care about the detachable handsets. Best portable handset ever 👌

I had both the OLED and the lite and I like the lite better. I sold the OLED

0:01 what the switch doin durr? hurr hurr!

Where did u get the purple Gameboy color case is it? For your lite?

I had a Switch Lite and I ended up getting a Pro Controller,which finding a comfortable position was impossible,so I traded in my Lite and got a OLED ,and best trade ever,I rather have a kickstand,better screen,dock, Ethernet port, better speaker, battery,storage... unpopular opinion...save your money,get a Switch OLED

it's not really a massive downgrade, the switch lite are for those people who plays the switch mostly handheld, and it doesn't make your arms tired, I noticed these differences cuz I own both the regular and switch lite

I still have my nintendo switch 2021

What we need is a switch lite OLED.

Just ordered a Lite to complement my 2nd gen switch that my daughter played more frequently
