Man watching this makes me think the PSP was ahead of it's time.

I like the lite cause I have no friends

[Notorious]

“Aging 3DS” that one hurt not gonna lie

[davontes]

Come on Nintendo. Get that Bluetooth and internet browser already

[iTzTJlol]

I don’t have time to play on the tv, with work, life and other things, I prefer the switch lite. I’m always on the go, so it suits me perfectly

[ambercleary]

i only want a switch lite FOR ANIMAL CROSSING NEW HORIZONSSSS

[TallSilhouette]

Not fixing the drift for a redesigned system is inexcusable.

[pandiy]

Honestly only getting the lite to play animal crossing when it comes out 😂. My brother already has the OG switch anyways

[kaikenxl]

The switch lite takes away the whole meaning of “switch”

[rexcorvorum]

The lite was a great choice by Nintendo, and it’s unfair to compare it to the regular switch in most ways because it was designed with a fundamentally different concept in mind, tailoring to people with a smaller budget who are still looking for console level games as well as people wishing to upgrade or who are moving over to Nintendo games but aren’t willing to offload hundreds of dollars on something they might not like (I know the lite is also expensive but $100 is a lot)

"Or if you're just trying to replace your aging 3Ds"

*GASP* How did you know???

[isykwilliams]

Who actually does the ball puzzle in zelda properly

[BenjaminDenverstone]

I most likely get this version since I don't have a ton of money and no tv.

[_strayfer_]

I can’t believe it actually might drift though... that will kill this thing for me at least

[CarloBiondi]

Way better than my original switch. I found myself only using my first switch as a portable console and the lite is exactly what i needed. The yellow one is beautiful

[definitelynotjess]

> hears all the praise of the switch > only buying for pokemon shield

[michaelc]

Hopefully when the 3DS gets a proper funeral, the Switch Lite will take over Nintendo handheld market and we'll get 3DS games ported over

[stepsgaming]

To have something that small playing Dragon Quest XI in all its graphical glory... just wow. We have a light and a regular. 1. I’d never leave the house with the regular due to cost 2. The light feels way better in hands 3. In a house with 2 kids and 1 parent... we need options but we all don’t need to have a docking switch. For a multi switch household this item is spot on.

[Psycat]

Still think they should've called it the Lite Switch. Missed opportunity.

[zaraguth]

In my opinion I prefer the hybrid. Options with no compromises.
