For everyone still wondering: BUY IT NOW!!!

For people who may be watching this an worry about “joycon drift”, an issue where the joysticks’ central position can shift and affect the reliability of the console; since you cannot simply replace the affected stick by changing tithe the left or right joycon on a regular Switch.

I own four Switch consoles. My original 2016 release, a Switch OLED, a Switch Lite and a limited edition Zelda Switch OLED (I know, but that TOTK theme was too pretty). I also have several other sets of joycons I’ve bought.

After over at least thousand hours of gaming across all of these devices I have never once encountered drift with my sticks. I may have simply been lucky or perhaps it’s because I treat my hardware with respect? Either way, try not to make it concern you too much. Like with many things nowadays, I feel it’s blown out of proportion online because some people just want to hate on the system.

The Lite is a superb little handheld and very comfortable to play on. If I’m going away it’s definitely my system of choice. Even at home, it’s slightly smaller and lighter form factor make it more comfortable to play for me than a full size Switch. At £200 it’s a steal, especially the new Animal Crossing bundle as you essentially get a free game which is super fun and adorable in equal measure.

Nintendo really knows how to make me buy things I don’t need and already have something VERY similar to, but are STILL SO MY THING😭💖

Can we all just appreciate the fact that he time traveled from 2024 to 2023 to make this video?

I’ve had my coral version for about 2 years now and I love it. I recently modded it with the help of a friend. I also just recently bought the yellow and the Mario Oled.

This and the xbox series S are the best cheap options for gaming out there. Still new gen and with similar features at a lower price that’s more comfortable for many!
I’ll be getting my hands on both as soon as I can

Just bought the NS lite 2023 animal crossing edition but in teal colorway with free physical game included. In my opinion if someone is just buying any nintendo switch in 2023, choose the model that recently released like these animal crossing switch lite version and the oled mario edition, for the reason that you'll have a peace of mind knowing that the hardware inside your console are built in the 2nd/3rd quarter of 2023. Everything isn't stale in short, like the battery is not sitting for years inside the console like the early colorways of the switch lites, that way I think you're giving yourself a real bang for the buck 👌
My switch lite is consistently giving me a little over 3hours of gameplay in DB figherz, Resident Evil Revelation, Diablo 3 while being connected to wifi, 8bitdo lite 2 controller, Bluetooth speakers or earbuds (depends on my gaming mood).

6 months playing everyday 3 hours, no drift

[Brittany.Anderson]

I have both one of the original switches and also the lite. I just recently received the lite. I prefer everything about the switch lite.

[JPwiththeL]

Just got the animal crossing bundle and love the design and the game being included for only 200$ was a great deal! Would definitely recommend to anyone👍

I got the lite back in January. It was loads of fun in the beginning but after awhile I realised the screen is just too small. Now I'm thinking about upgrading to OLED, however there's a slim chance that Nintendo next year finally decides to make an official announcement about the switch 2 so I'm really trying my best not to get an OLED lol

[alonzo]

I still use my yellow Lite all of the time. It barely weighs anything, so it's perfect to bring on road trips and plane rides.

1:38 It can, kinda. If you install a mod chip and use sys DVR you can mirror your display to your laptop over USB with pretty serviceable image quality . Switch modding isn't just for piracy, I'm actually commenting this from my switch rn. Soldering a mod chip to a lite is actually fairly easy for someone who has experience soldering. A rp2040 tiny is 3 bucks and getting it installed at your local repair shop will probably go for 20 to 60 bucks if their cool with it. Modchips are definitely a must have after warranty ends (even v1's should all get chips imo cause 2040cores are 10 bucks. Just sayin

I was not going to buy a switch I was happy with my 3ds but last week I fell asleep with a popsicle next to me and it melted right on top of my 3ds and messed it up bad. I was going to buy a used 3ds but then realized they are more expensive than a brand new switch! I just ordered a switch lite with the mega man battle network collection. I'm super excited and now I'm looking forward to paper mario TTYD coming out in 2 months. Plus playing mario odyssey and kirby and the forgotten land. I should have pulled the trigger sooner. I didn't realize how inexpensive the switch lite was!

[cheekyfantasy]

depends honestly
if you can get an V2 or Oled, i would recommend those more
BUT, some people cant due to financial reasons, the Switch Lite is a perfectly good alternative otherwise

[NipplesOfDestiny]

something nobody mentions - you basically have to be in the dark to use it. ANY light behind/above you results in a gaming session on a mirror, it's borderline unusable during the day. BUT, in the right lighting conditions, it's totally fun. Worth the money if you're indoors all day, for everyone else probably not

Nintendo switch lite in 2024 ? "ABSOLUTELY " 💯

[alluringming]

I got this for my brother and he is happy with it, we have an oled which we share and decided to get to this him last year since there are time when one of us is on the oled but the other has to wait for other person get done with it.

[alexlol]

I found one for kinda cheap (around $140) yesterday and it came with 4 $60 games (not physical tho). And i ordered it! I hope it will be fun for atleast a year. I have a ps4 and semi gaming laptop on the side anyway so this is just for when i travel!
