Switch or Switch Lite 

Music I used for this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_epVSjlsEzM.html

If it’s your main console, go with the full size. If you already have a PC/XS/PS5, the lite is FANTASTIC

“Much easier to fit in your pocket” Joycon Drift: *it’s my time to shine*

Probably go for the lite, even though I don't travel much I just don't use the TV as much as I used to due to online work. I also just usually am in my room.

“Much easier to fit in your pocket.” Girls: We can barely fit our phones in our pockets 💀 EDIT: Yall good news, I got a Nintendo Switch Lite now :D Also wow this is my most liked comment thx :) Omg finally I found this video again :O

If you play 1% more than half of the time in handheld mode, go get the lite for sure, I have both, I almost never touch my regular switch, Lite feels much much better in hand than regular switch

Here’s the only question you need to consider: what do you do more? Play docked on your couch or play primarily undocked? That should be the only influence to which one you buy…

You might think you don’t want to play on the tv. I was wrong about that. I sold the lite. Got a OLED model

I use the lite primarily, but I do have a regular switch that is always docked. For multi-player and guests. Thank goodness you can have it upload and download save data automatically.

They can release a cheap original switch but with out the dock and they must buy the dock separately

I think the price would more worth it for the Lite if Nintendo had it $150. For the price of one Switch, you could get 2 Switch Lites. For TV mode, you can use a good camera with HDMI out, and connect the headphone jack to an external speaker. An android phone with Open Camera would work too, since it wouldn’t have GUI on screen. You would also need a $10-$20 HDMI out though.

I just want a handheld. I have a series x as my main platform. I wanna travel more and game still so a little is perfect, plus it looks better than the original

I genuinely have never used my switch as a handheld, it stays docked 24/7.

That last sentence is what I needed to hear. Thank u 🤙

Lite is a great little machine imo. I’m having so much fun with it

Nobody actually puts a Lite in their pockets.

I'm a fan of the Oled model myself.

No. Wrong. This is better: IF you’re a handheld gamer (coming from 3DS, Vita, DS gamer) definitely get switch lite. When we say “lighter”, we mean it makes a difference to hold! Other wise, get the standard.

I'm more comfortable using a regular switch while using a pro controller since my left hand is unusable and I can only use one hand. I also mostly play it when it's in the dock

Warning: Dont put your switch in your pocket, It might give your switch a stick drift

I got the lite earlier today and I can't wait to play some games

If you want the standard spend the extra $50 and get the OLED version

If you just want to play on the TV I reccomend the regular, if you just want to play in handheld mode I reccomend the lite, but if you want to play in all methods I reccomend the OLED.

I bought the switch light for my first switch because it was affordable. I got the OLED a few weeks later when I had the money and both are great.

at first i wanted a series s but tbh a switch lite is kinda amazing for its price as it’s 160$ rn in the uae i can buy some games for it and i use my ps4 slim for the tv

Me who has both: *I dont have to pick*

Had them all, from the V1 Switch over to V2 and the OLED, but still coming back to the lite over and over again, it's also my most used one xD sure the TV mode on the normal Switch is great but dunno, for handheld it's definitely the lite for me. It's way more comfortable in hand than the big ones

I can't choose both cuz I'm broke asf

And then there's the OLED model which is like the regular but a bit better and $50 more expensive

my reg switch fits in all my pockets perfectly, just don’t wear jeans. Also lite cant play all games some are regular exclusive.

"easier to put in your pocket" me who can fit a nuke in my pocket: I dont even have to try

When you get drift on lite tho 😂

And don’t forget: switch lite doesen’t have vibration function, back stand for playing multi player on the same screen, and the joycons are melted in the console, means that If you have problems with drifting you have to change or repair the whole thing.

the lite is nice and cute, but if you get drift you're kinda screwed unless you take it apart to fix it

I got a standard Switch from my aunt and tbh I actually like it more than the lite cause of its gimmick

Switch lite inside your pocket is a one way ticket to regret land. I think you'd be able to pack the regular switch inside your pocket if you remove the cons into the other pocket... But still won't recommend because inside a tight jeans it would function as an armour... You won't be damaged but it would be damaged. Also bags of all kinds exsist... Even if it were some Random plastic bag... Better safe than sorry

Got a lite before the OLED came out. Bought the OLED and the lite was sitting in my room for around a year. Just recently gave it to a friend.

I thought bro had a really advanced n2dsxl for a second

I don't count the switch lite as a switch since it doesn't switch

OLED ;)

If you have no friends and no tv to play with, then the switch lite is absolutely the best option. Also I would recommend getting it now if you want the new one next year

I use both to share my game library and save memory. Trust me, you'll need it.

Sticks:💀☠️

I suggest the switch lite if you are like me and you play by yourself and mostly single player games, if you want to play multiplayer you play locally. If you have like a family or friends who don't have switches and you hang out with them a Lot, the regular switch is for you, so that way you can use more controllers and play with them thatway.

easy, get the OLED model it has better sound, twice as much storage, and a bigger screen, then you have the option to play on the TV too if that's something you want also get a screen protector, it's actually more expensive to get the screen fixed, then to replace the console also a micro SD card for extra storage

Damn that blue shade on that switch lite is so goood

THANK YOU Finally, someone who likes the normal switch

“Fits in your pocket” oh yeh for you boys it can. We gotta carry bags for our phones

The abilitiy to dock to your TV changes everything! Can't imagine not being able to enjoy the graphics on a big screen, especially for TotK/BotW. Even animal crossing is fun on the TV! Personally think the upgrade is worth it but it may depend what games you play on there too.

I’m in 2023 lmao and bout the submarine yellow switch lite and I love it.

Switch lite is PERFECT for any college student. Or any person in the working field already. I won’t act like I didn’t have a magical experience when I played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on my sister’s 72 inch tv but still. I wouldn’t trade the compact and convenient style of the lite it’s too perfect sometimes. I feel like I’ve made tons of new nintendo fans just by carrying mine around

Lite better Other version probably better for home play only Extrovert ppls tend to break switch oled and v1/v2 fast

They should probably make a dock for a lite ngl.

I prefer the regular switch because it’s bigger and has a bigger screen (tho I am an OLED owner and the screen is so nice)

Got an Oled and Lite, love my Oled but I take my Lite everywhereeee, way more useful imo but at home gaming defo standard or Oled

He kinda looks like Ryan Renolds

Go for the Switch OG. In my fb group, lots are complaining about the switch lite screen getting damaged easily

Here in Brazil, a Lite costs R$1200=$226. The salary here is R$1420 😭😭

regular switch fits better in the pocket actually. if you remove the joycons its just a slightly bigger phone, which you can then put the controllers on a seperate pocket. instead of part of it jutting out like you showed on the lite

My broke ass knows which one i'm gonna get

The factor of replacable joy cons is why i'd get the full size alone. Stick drift CAN be fixed, but in some cases it can't. I started using my switch again after it was just laying there for like 6 years, and i had to buy new joy cons so i could properly play again, with a lite i'd have been properly fucked.

I have the switch lite and i normally play in handheld anyways while in bed or chilling on the couch. its a decent switch for the money and won't break the bank.

If I have got money I would get a regular switch to get a more imersive experience on a TV. But I don't even have a TV, so lite you go, it is much cheaper.

i got a lite as it was the only thing available at the time of AC release and then got the animal crossing switch one day and god damn can never go back. hooked it up to my 2nd monitor and comfortably being able to be in any position with the controls is amazing. Definitely worth

I have both. Regular and OLED for playing on TV, so I won't have to worry about damaging or losing it. The other is mostly for travelling purposes

To be honest i used to have a standart i sold it but i also understood i never used it on a tv because the games aren’t really that type of vibe, i like playing them at night, lite is up but standard is good too

I had a lite but sold it. I now have a regular. The slightly bigger screen and playing on the tv is nice. But I mostly play in handheld mode

I got the regular Switch earlier this year as right now I’m not traveling as much as before (due to college haha). But once I do start traveling again I’ll probably get a Switch Lite and just leave my regular Switch at home. It may even become my primary Switch as I play my regular Switch on handheld mode most of the time anyway.

Get a 3Ds, a good SD card, and then mod it (the modding process is practically universally accessible and only takes like 30mins-1hr). Then you can do pretty much whatever you want with it

Switch light should be able to fit in the dock so it can “switch” between tv and handheld mode.

I wish there was a dockable Switch that had fused on controllers instead of detachable ones. The Switch Lite feels much more solid in the hands than the regular Switch, but I’d still never get a Lite since there’s a decent amount of games that I think work better on a TV instead of handheld, like Splatoon 3 with motion controls or Switch Sports

No matter what anyone tells you, there is no right answer. I think Nintendo made them each have their own pros and cons so you'll buy all of them. It's maddening. Just pick one and try to be happy.

Standard switch all the way, they get drift very quickly and it's hard to replace on the mini

There’s another bonus with the normal switch since certain games like switch sports require motion controls only the normal switch and oled model can play them. Although lite users can buy and pair joy cons for these games it’s going be on a tiny screen

if you play console or pc more then I suggest lite because its good for portable use and it's a little cheaper so you can spend more money on some games.But if switch is Ur main console then just go to the standard switch.Alot more features and you can switch the joycons out for other controllers making it more comfortable to hold.

Got the lite but then i felt like i need the normal switch. Now have both and still cannot decide which one to use 🤪. I mostly use the standard switch just because my save games is on there now. Turned on the lite the other day and the lite is way more comfortable!

Honestly, I wouldn’t put the switch in your pocket even if it could fit just because the joy cons because once you miss those joy cons up, you have to take the whole thing apart to fix him. I think it all comes down to preference. It’s nice having a switch light don’t get me wrong but for the extra hundred dollars you’re getting a bigger screen you can dock it to TV and if your joy cons ever get drift you can change them out

The OLED one was on the middle on my Christmas list

I got a switch lite before I got a normal switch, and I always regretted not getting the bigger model.

Regular switch no doubt. A year or 2 on switch lite, you’ll get the inevitable joycon drift 😱

Probably the lite as I don't see a point in killing my neck no more just love the hand held feel recently got a dsi and 2ds and the hand held feel and how you can play Games on the go just sold me right there down staring at a TV for several hours as I break my neck trying too sit up straight when I could just lay with the screen I don't like playing games and lying down with a TV as I'm restricted too seeing alot unless I Wana go spend 1k on a 65 inch

Did not expect to hear super monkey ball 2 ocean world music on here

I have the standard switch. Ok love the joy cons and the click. It’s still so fascinating to me. I bought my kid a switch lite and it feels more comfortable but I still gotta go with the OG switch.

I want a lite with docking capabilities. But the normal switch is fine too. I just like small handhelds.

Tbh, if your playing some shooting games such as Fortnite or apex legends I find the switch lite more controllable, but if you have a pro controller then that’s good but if you don’t and you just have the standard joycons it’ll be kinda hard to get some controls.

What most people don't get with the dockable versions of the switch is you don't have to use the joycons. You can get very nice controllers now without breaking the bank.

Gave 3ds vibes at the beginning

The standard switch has a flip stand on the back where the sd card goes too. Its often overlooked. The regular switch can still be played on the go or be played not in hands without being on a tv. The switch lite is literally as it's name says. Its a smaller lighter version of the handheld console with less hardware going for it. It cannot use joycons but is better for playing on the move. You might say the standard switch is the new wii and the switch lite is the new gameboy. Honestly I would say there was more creativity put into the ds and wii. Even the games had started developing content based around the consoles. Features like blowing into the ds mic, folding the screen down for an imprint effect in game, using a stylus, using the wiimote like a sensor or moving your body into various poses with the wiimote. They even put on straps so the wii motes would be safe and not be thrown all over the place by kids. I dont see the joycons working the same. They have these small things you can attach to the joycons with a loop but.... your not fitting that on a persons wrist. The wii motes also didnt break nearly as easy as the joycons. Heck them gamecubes are solid as rock. Everything seems to be getting bigger but not necessarily better. They are making fools of people marketing off the same gimmicks and implementing them worse. Yet its done in a way most people wouldnt notice. Kind of like many pre order games just to receive the same content others would receive later or could pay for seperately. Its simply for impatiant fans at that point. Im starting to get fed up with the gaming industry. They will abuse their consumers when given any chance they get.

I use both prefer the lite tho over the oled IMP but I still use both

"Much easier to fit in your pocke-" My pocket doesn't even fit a wallet

Jokes on you, I HAVE BOTH

I love my Lite. I had an OLED and never docked it and played on the TV so I got rid of it and got a Lite recently. I only play portable and the Lite is so much more comfy and easy to hold.

The OLED is the way to go if you play handheld mode. The screen is so much nicer to look at

If the price gap is not a problem to you, there is no actual reason to buy the lite.

got the lite one. have my ps5 anyways so no need for console mode

i was tired and thought the first part was a New Super Super 3DS :tm:

Also with regular switch, you can play with friends on one console.

Tbh as a person who has many consoles and gaming devices, I see the switch oled as a really good deal for me personally, because of how it’s not too small and not too big, it’s great for travel and multiplayer and as I got the splatoon edition, it looks really cool with custom printing so it’s really your choice to buy whatever you want but in my opinion I would say get the switch OLED if you have the money to spend.

I’ll probably go for the lite. Knowing that I don’t really play on tv and I love a smaller screen size

i got my switch like a year or two ago but now i kinda want the steam deck. just more stuff you can do on it.
