Nintendo Switch VS Switch Lite 

I literally just want a switch to play animal crossing new horizons

All these differences: what’s the use of a switch that doesn’t switch. Me: bought the regular switch and has never docked it once.

2 years later: still contemplating on getting a Nintendo Switch Update: a year after commenting this, I may actually get one soon!

You make me want to get the switch lite because I’m scared a stranger will come up to me and ask to play super smash bro like you said

"The lite is small enough to fit in just about any ordinary pocket." Women's pocket: Am I a joke to you?

That moment when Switches are sold out everywhere and you're just bored in quarantine

I just bought a Nintendo switch lite and I’m antisocial, guess who’s the real winner. Me

" its too big to fit in your pocket " every man's pocket : try again

Who tf is putting a switch lite in their pocket??

Nintendo switch: I have friends to play together with! Nintendo switch lite: I have no friends to play with!

I thought they were gonna make it both even and then say at the end, it doesn't really matter what looks good, as long as it fits you, that's what matters.

I want a switch to play these games: - super Mario Odyssey - legend of Zelda: breath of the wild -legend of Zelda: link’s awakening - super smash bros. Ultimate - Mario kart 8 deluxe - super Mario 3D world + bowser’s fury - sonic mania - animal crossing new horizons - new super Mario bros U deluxe

2 years later: still watching without having one

“Hand one of the joycon to a stranger and play with them.” *They took the joycon and left*

They neglect to mention. Because the switch lite is a slightly smaller screen, The 720 picture quality is a little bit sharper than on the regular switch. What’s up basically means is while the switch does have a bigger screen for 720p play, The switch lite gives a little bit of a sharper quality when it comes to gameplay

Having had both, I appreciate the bigger Switch screen, but, the Switch Lite is by far the better designed console.

People just arnt getting that the lite is ment to be a more of a personal portable device

I think we’re all thinking the same thing, wanting to buy a switch literally just for animal crossing new horizon 😭

“Doesn’t fit in pockets” *guys laugh in superior pockets*

OMG guys! okay but hear me out: imagine having either of those

Nintendo switch: Friends Nintendo switch lite: No Friends. The lite seems like the best one to me.

People stuck in between Lite & Switch: Me with the og DS: Breed = different

I just don't have the extra £100 but at the same time this is making me consider saving longer

Idk what to choose, since I want something to play on the bus I am kinda leaning towards the lite but at the same time the option to detach the joycons would be great too! 😅

“just about fit in any ordinary pocket” *cries in women’s pockets*

I don't really care about playing on a tv since I rarely use a tv now.

I got a lite before the regular. I prefer my lite for portability and because of the D Pad and softer buttons. The regular is nice for the removable joycons but I almost always use it docked.

This was really helpful thank you so much! ☺️❤️

“You’re playing your Switch and a stranger comes around asks to play with you” I tell them to GTFO. Stranger danger is strong with me

Nintendo switch lite is for people who dont like to share

I love watching people having things I can't afford.

Their the same thing but it’s just that the lite doesn’t switch to a TV, and taking a controller out while it’s small at the same time

People are clearly missing the point... The Nintendo Switch Lite is like the Nintendo DS: a portable, small, and personal gaming device you can fit almost anywhere and take almost anywhere you wanna go. Edit: The Switch Lite is also a smaller version of the Switch, and it’s for people who want to spend a little bit less of a budget. It’s also for people who prefer to play in just handheld mode, and don’t like to play on the TV. I, myself, have the normal Nintendo Switch, and I’d prefer the Switch Lite, because I don’t play it on my TV that often. The Switch Lite is also for people who don’t wanna play with friends, and just like to play by themself. It’s also for people who want almost the same features as the normal Switch, and want to play the same games as a normal Switch, but want to spend a little less money on a gaming console. It’s also Nintendo’s way of putting one of the cheapest gaming consoles on the market, and they get a TON of more money from that. Hope this helped you in choosing between a Nintendo Switch, and a Nintendo Switch Lite. Also, thanks for the likes! 2nd edit: this comment is old, i am aware that the switch oled is out, and i have the switch oled because my switch broke. the switch lite is still considerable, but i’d just get a normal switch used/open box as they are cheaper now to be fair.. or just save up a lil bit more money and get a switch brand new or spend an extra 50 bucks and get yourself a nice oled

personally i *love* handheld gaming systems and don’t really want to play on a big tv which is why i have a switch lite. it’s also a great way to get out of having to do multiplayer with your siblings when you don’t want to tbh.

My brother bought me a Nintendo Switch Lite. The best way I can describe. It is a modern day gameboy. I absolutely it one of the best gifts I ever gotten!

I’m only going to play animal crossing, so multiplayer mode isn’t that important, so here we go switch lite!

I bought the new coral Nintendo switch lite. The battery life has lasted more than nine hours in one setting. I am ashamed to admit that, but for those of you wondering, the battery life is great.

I didn't know witch one to get this helped thanks

I currently own both. The standard Switch is going to be my at home console and the Lite is going to be for when I am riding the bus to and from work.

Well, if a stranger came up to me asked to play smash I would rather much have a switch cuz its heavier and harder so its hits him better

I love how in the ad Nintendo seems so proud to say that they removed things like the IR sensor, etc

I think one of the main issues with the lite version is not being able to replace the joycons if they stick or break where as you can easily on the dock version which they don't add in this video but truth is those break on the lite and your done

I think every category you just judged is all based off personal preference of each individual.

I literally don’t want to play with other people and prefer handheld, which is why I bought the lite

I could live with a switch lite but that new ACNH switch is really calling my name

Thank you very much for making this video!!

I have nintendo switch here and I'm planning to buy again, this is so informative video thank u.

I just want the switch but it’s out of stock EVERYWHERE due to the corona virus, I can only find a lite.

Everyone wants animal crossing I just want Mario kart 😭

Very well done on the comparison 👏🏼

Been waiting like four years for the price to go down

Portability winner: the larger one. Price winner: the more expensive model.

And there's me watching and wishing that someday i'll have a switch :,-)

Maybe some people don’t want to play console games on their tv, and want to lay on their bed playing Doom Eternal and eating Doritos. Or maybe that’s just me.

if you won't ever connect the console to the tv, i recommend the lite. if you want a bigger display and you want to connect it to the tv, get the switch. i contemplated on getting the switch or the switch lite BUT speaking for myself, i won't ever want to connect my console to the tv. the lite is perfect for me! this is basically just for myself at home and in car rides. got mine last week and it's awesome. the quality, the comfort, the build, the price, it's everything i wanted!! i have it in coral and it's the best thing. if you're looking for a cheap high-quality console for any kind of gaming, whether that's serious gaming or you're just wanting to have some fun, GET THE LITE. you won't regret it!

I think comparing them is just dumb because saying the switch lite is bad because it doesn't have a kick stand or not have a TV mode just completely misses the point of the console.

Everyone says “ OH THE LITE IS FOR PEOPLE WITH NO FRIENDS!” But they still have friend codes and you can still play smash and other multiplayer games. ALSO I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE JUST BEING SARCASTIC.... Lol

I’m finally getting one for my birthday this year 😩 and it’s on the 20th when animal crossing came out and quarantine started 😂

I love Nintendo switch lite!

I already have Nintendo switch but me and my other friend who also has a Nintendo switch are planning to buy my friend a switch lite.

Category: *Price* The Nintendo Switch is $100 more expensive. Winner: *Nintendo Switch*

Buying one in this coming up week so excited

Admittedly, I have both the regular V2 switch and the lite. I like to use my V2 switch for playing on the TV and the lite for playing in handheld mode in bed or out somewhere. The regular switch is not heavy; per say but my arms do get tired of holding it during play sessions in handheld mode.

Some outlets are selling the original low-battery Switch for their Black Friday sales. Be sure to check that you’re getting the newer model that’s listed with 4.5 to 9 hours battery life before you buy.

I'm an antisocial gamer so the lite is right up my alley.

Another thing is the price of joycons are $80 so for $20 more you get better stats and ability to dock. Not to mention down the road, sellability can come into play but then the slide part on the dock version can get loose and just the same, your done. But you can still always dock it. Even if the screen spiders everywhere you can still play

I just need y’all to know this video was so helpful!

You're telling me that, while I can connect just about any Tablet to a TV, via a Mini-HDMI Port, Nintendo couldn't be bothered to add a small port to the Switch Lite?

Imagine if you chillin and some guy just hands you a switch

Thanks,this was an helpful video

I been wanting a Nintendo Switch before I saw this video and I want one even more

I’m literally only getting the switch for mario games 😭 I just got a wave of nostalgia 😩

I want the Lite because it comes in turqouise and that's literally all I care about

I had to get myself a second regular Switch in order to test out how it plays in handheld mode. Here's what I found out of playing both that and the Switch Lite: The regular Switch has a bigger screen and controls you can swap out, detach, and even replace if they get broken. The Switch Lite, on the other hand, is easier on the hands due to its compact size and lighter weight. It also feels rather solid due to the controls being part of the system instead of being detachable. So which should you get? Regular Switch if you want a bigger screen, or Switch Lite if you want a lighter system to hold. But if you want to play it exclusively in handheld mode, get the Switch Lite.

Thank u its Christmas and i have a nintendo lite and $100 so i don't know but now i know witch ones better

Category price: Nintendo switch: $300 Nintendo switch lite: $200 Nintendo switch wins

As a university student who can’t afford a tv, just trying to save money... Lite is perfection! Can bring it to uni and play for a bit just before lectures 👌

I was about to buy a Nintendo switch lite until now! I'm buying a Nintendo switch standard!

This video really helped me get a Nintendo switch thank you for making this video

Bro I was just looking up the difference to see if I should get one. Watchmojo reading my mind bruh

As a person who is always on the go, barely spends time at home, and doesn’t have many people who would play with (lol). I highly recommend the Switch Lite. Its portability makes it a great buy. Also, its ability to play games that you would normally play on a console (For me a PS4) is also a huge plus in my book since I’m always out working, at school, or just killing time. 10/10 overall!

I am getting a Switch Lite next month. I found the Switch interesting at launch but the majority of games I'd want to play on the Television aren't on Switch. And recently as I'm about to move and spend a lot of time commuting I've been wanting a handheld. So with the launch of Tears of the Kingdom that was finally enough to tip the scales into getting myself a Switch Lite. It's also a bonus to have access to a bunch of old and new Nintendo games on the go!

Thank you so much I needed to know if it was ok to by the lite

Tbh, I don’t think the lite is better nor the switch. Cause the lite is literally made for personal gameplay, and more of a portable device. Think of it as a 3ds. And the Switch is made for family play

Y’all are really saying “I want a switch because of animal crossing” Am I the only one who just wants a switch, not because of the game? 😂

You answered everything that I wanted to know! Everything that I wanted in a Switch doesn't even exist with the Switch Lite! The Lite has NOTHING but a cheaper price! I'm deadass getting the OG Switch now. Thank you so much for this very helpful video!! 👏👏❤🔥

The big reasons I see for getting a Nintendo Switch Lite are definitely the weight and portability of the system which makes it easier to carry in a pocket and makes it more enjoyable to carry wherever you go 😯 However, since it's a portable exclusive, I recommend purchasing it if a friend has their own Nintendo Switch📱or Switch Lite system so you can play with them. Otherwise it could be difficult to find playmates, as it happened to me with my Nintendo 2DS. Other than that, if you consider buying it for your two kids, 2 Nintendo Switch lite could be a good opportunity allowing them to play more comfortably with each other on any place than it would be having them use two controllers on the small screen of the regular Nintendo Switch; though that would mean spending more money on the consoles and games. (But hey 😁 I had a lot of fun when my brother and I had the opportunity to play in 2 portable play stations [PSP] back in the early 2000s. So it's a decision that I encourage for a pair of siblings or close friends 😁) Do consider, if you enjoy or are looking forward to playing games with motion controls (such tennis games and golf games) or if you prefer a homeconsole experience over a portable gaming experience, the standard Nintendo Switch will cover you better. I hope this helps someone 🙏🏻

A Switch Lite is a Switch that cannot SWITCH ironic isn't it.

Pro tip: Make sure you get the new version of the Switch. It has a “red box” instead of a white color. Btw you can also trade your older switch to upgrade to the newer switch in GameStop.

A hard case includes a piece inside that sets up to be a kind of kick stand

After watching this the hubby and I will be going with the regular switch. Thanks for this vs. video

I'm not trying to be rude, but to be honest I like the Lite better. I have both the standard, and the Lite. And some of the stuff you said is false. My Lite has about the same battery as my standard. Also the way you talked about the Lite sounded like you are against it. So it is totally your opinion.

So like Imma just give up on airpods and buy the lite instead lol

Stuck on which one to get. I heard the lite is lighter and more portable which sounds perfect, but I might want to play with my friends sometimes

Still love watching this cause this is memories for me edit: it's now 2024 and I'm 13 years old. it's crazy how time flys.

back in my days: DS 2019: switch

Ok about the kickstand, why would the lite have one? I see literally no benefits in the lite having a kickstand. It doesn’t have detachable joy cons. It would be stupid even considering that.

Thank you for this I've been wanting to get one and the standard sounds better for what I want

It's 2021 now. I have a Nintendo Switch Lite. The Turquoise one. I love it.
