Switch Lite Reveal Analysis: Nintendo's New Hardware Plans Come Into Focus

New Nintendo hardware has finally been revealed - and yes, the T214 'Mariko' chip beats at the heart of it. But how is the new processor used in the new Switch - and what about the *other* new Switch heading our way?

This guy’s hand movements are simply iconic

"Table top play is off the table"

I see what you did there.

"...the POWER SWITCH..."

Only Richard at Digital Foundry can make that cringe-worthy pun classy. That's the real power of DF...

[inoa]

I really liked the
<- Bowser
-> Bowser
part. Great sense of humor!

[Nazraq]

I've never thought about actually paying a YouTube channel through patreon, but if any channel deserves extra support it's definitely Digital Foundry.

[RengokuGS]

I love these. It's like I'm listening to David Attenborough, but for games hardware.

"This is the Switch for the kids"
Yet here I am in my 40's and thinking this is the Switch for me...🤔

[friendlygamercrew]

Same price as a DSI and 3DS a few years back. Pretty incredible if you ask me, even if I am not the target customer.

[kududemany]

Legend has it that Rich’s iconic gestures were Nintendo’s inspiration for Master Hand

[Linka]

Thanks for the HD Rumble mention, it's such a great feature!

[Gencoil]

I'm also worried that developers will make even less use of HD rumble now that the Switch Lite is coming.

[aeternus]

Hand movements are powered by Unreal Engine 5 at 60 fps.

[spicypicklez]

"Simulated profound joy"

Yeah you got that right

[aerohk]

Everyone forgot that smaller screen with same resolution = better image quality. Awesome product.

[MilkerMurphy]

Gotta wonder why so few people talk about the elephant in the room:
The layout for the buttons and analog sticks is still terribly unergonomic.

[ponyboycurtis]

I want a 1080p 60fps handheld with an oled screen.

[mordinsolis]

its really not unconfirmed that the battery is smaller in the Lite.
The official german nintendo sites has the battery capacity in mAh in their spec sheet, its 3570 mAh, compared to the originals 4310 mAh

[thatssomegoodpie]

I would've gladly bought the Switch Lite if it was dockable or at least had a standard HDMI out that does not enhance graphics and just have the video signal on tv. It just sucks you can't play this thing on the TV.

[Donmegamuffin]

1:51 Actually I believe it DOES support extra controllers just like the original switch so games like 1, 2, switch ARE infact playable.
