    I had a Switch Lite before trading it for a regular Switch. Honestly if the Switch Lite could be docked it would simply be perfect, it's simply the BEST handheld experience I've ever had. The buttons feel amazing and premium, the screen looks sharp and the console is super light. I love being able to detach Joy-Cons, dock it to the TV and being able to customize my Switch with any accessory I want, but my God I don't think the regular Switch can ever mimic how good the Lite feels in handheld mode

    Switch Lite is really the 2DS of the Switch family, and Nintendo exactly knew who its made for with its unibody durable form factor and cute color options. Plus its an option if you have multiple kids in a family and 200$ is an easier price to swallow for Christmas gift purposes for the average parents. Recent sale statistics did showed that its mostly women and kids that owned a Switch Lite, so its great to have more people that can enjoy their games on the Switch that they wouldn't otherwise with the regular Switch! I may not daily drive a Lite, but my siblings does and its always good to have options like this for kids, casual gamers or just anyone who prefers something more portable.

    I'm currently looking for a Switch after 6 years of wanting one. Honestly, the only thing that truly stops me from buying a lite is joycon drift-- if not for that issue I would've bought it in a heartbeat as I (honestly) do not mind the inability to dock to a bigger screen. I'm saying this as a student because repairs can be expensive in my country (Nintendo does not have a presence where I live, so sending it to them would be such a huge hassle). I would rather shell out the additional cash for peace of mind, even if I would never use docked mode.
    That being said, I really appreciate Nintendo for making a lighter and cheaper alternative, making switch gaming accessible to a wider range of people! I just wish the build quality of the joycons were better or improved upon in later models especially after all the backlash these past few years. I hope Nintendo's next gen console takes note! Great video btw! Subscribed!

      I've owned a Switch Lite for 2 years and it's still working fine.
      About the drift, there are plenty of tutorials on how to replace sticks on both, regular Switch & Lite. It might be a cultural thing or fear of tinkering with our own consoles is somewhat spread around. It's really hard to mess up while following guides, just be careful with ribbon cables. Personally I've even replaced my 3DS shell, buttons, bottom screen and digitizer too.

    I really like my switch lite, the only problem is that when you play some games that are a little more graphically intense or more detailed, the screen feels a bit too small. Throughout my playthrough of Luigi’s mansion 3, I spent half the time squinting at the screen with my face several inches away. 2d games like stardew and Celeste are fantastic on it though. Makes me wish there was a just a unibody form factor with the specs of the oled.

    I prefer the feel of the Switch Lite by a wide margin, but some of the best games on the Switch platform are Wii U ports that are intended to be played on a TV-sized screen. When shrunk down to the Lite's small screen, certain details can become impossible to see. Wanting to play Breath of the Wild, but struggling to see certain attacks and projectiles led me to get a standard Switch.
    What I learned from having both was, with a Nintendo Online account, your save data is saved and synchronized online, so no matter which device you grab, you can pick up from your last save. I've now upgraded to a Switch OLED, but the usage is still the same: if I'm gaming on the go, it's with the Switch Lite. If I'm going to hang out with a friend at his home, I will take the OLED, but otherwise it lives in the dock.
    So which Switch should you buy? I think the best answer is: both.

    • @supersmashmaster43
      @supersmashmaster43 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That's interesting cause I basically played breath of the wild solely in handheld mode and it really felt perfect for it but I didn't enjoy it as much when I switched to dock mode as it look a bit too blurry for my liking. Might also have to do with using headphones while playing in handheld, it also felt more immerse to a degree. I was just addicted to breath of the wild when I played it through summer 2019 and played it in bed till I started getting tired.

    I just bought my third Switch Lite today. Sold the first one in turquoise for $110 after getting it for $90. Then sold a coral one earlier today for $120 after getting it only for $70 like 2 days ago.
    That's a $70 net profit. Used it to get a second turquoise Lite an hour after selling that coral and it's in flawless condition like the previous two. I really only spent $30 on it if I deduct the $70 net profit from selling the other two.
    I was going to buy a regular Switch on 4th of July but hated the weight of it. I'll only stick to Lites for now on. Only reason why I sold my first one after 7 months owning it was the analog stick would no longer turn right.
    If the analog stick gets bad again playing hours of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I'll get the hall effect sensor parts from Amazon and get them replaced from a repair shop. I'll also buy a compatible wireless Bluetooth controller for it..
    For my needs, Switch Lite is the perfect form factor. I don't want anything larger than this. Switch Lite is as large and heavy as I want to go. It's perfect next to my black, modded Vita 2000. This also means no Steam Deck for me. I can't tolerate carrying large handhelds.

    I got both lite and OLED models. And I actually use the lite model far more frequently than the OLED one! Never regretted having both of them.
    But to be honest, which model to pick is largely depends on what kind of game you usually play if you want to have the best experience.
    I usually play games which you don’t have much expectation on the picture quality or a relaxed style game (such as Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons etc) on lite.
    3A games such as Zelda undoubtedly have to be played on OLED.

    I've had the Switch Lite for over a year, and even now, I don't have to deal with joystick drift. Then again, it's not really drift, but rather the console detecting inputs incorrectly when I tilt the joystick forward too hard and the console reading joystick inputs for a little too long. That's mainly noticeable and slightly annoying on the main menu and settings.
    The only problem I have is that there's no way to play on a monitor or a TV. I just never had the need for that feature, but now I actually have people to play games with.

    I love the lite. It's so lightweight, portable, and solid. You can hold it with one hand by the sides without damaging the joycon rails, because there are none. The screen is small and dense. It has a d-pad and it's great, even though comments on the internet say otherwise, which is not true, at least for the revision I use. In other words, it feels like a true handheld, honoring the value proposition of the GB, GBA, DS, and 3DS.

    I had an OG Switch which was hacked. I was able to download any game I wanted. But in the end I sold it and eventually bought a Lite. Rather than having an infinite supply of copied games, my Lite just has 8 or 9 bangers that I want to play. The machine feels way nicer to play too.

    I am getting a Nintendo Switch Lite in a few days for a trip I am going to have.
    In my opinion, the Lite is perfect for me.
    Portable (since we are going on plane), not TV compatible (I never use my brother's Nintendo Switch on the TV), and LITEweight (not too heavy).
    Honestly the perfect size for me. I am really excited!

  • @MrTeploukhov97
    @MrTeploukhov97 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought of getting a lite model just because of the portability. I play a lot in public transport, and it's a headache to get a switch case out of a bag, then to get switch out of the case, and put case in a bag and then back again, when you're near your bus stop.
    But instead i just got an Anbernic 35xx, and it's doing wonders, because it fits in my pocket, and some retro games can be played one handed!

    I've had my switch lite since they launched. It has been so good to me! I never have had the joystick issue and mine is one of the first generation. I think people were honestly just treating the switch lite like trash and setting it down face first, or dropping it onto the sticks. I have played lots of "joystick heavy" games and i get no drift.
    The battery is not bad at all, i dont play on full brightness because the screen is so bright anyway! You dont need it on full brightness even outside in the sun.
    It is perfect for games that are remasters of gamecube or older games. I really enjoy the ty the tasmanian tiger series and its perfect on the switch lite. Skyrim, Stardew Valley, are other amazing portable options. Even Green Hell, a survival game, looks and runs decent with 30fps and lower resolution.
    Im a gamer of all sorts. Pc, console, emulators, etc, i would recommend a switch lite to anybody looking for a "lazy" gamer day. You just wanna curl up on the couch/bed and have some snacks and play whatever game, even at a friend's house because its fully portable.
    One of my only complaints is that the shell of the switch is so flat that my hand can cramp if im laying down and holding it, but a case with some grip or the little handles on the side like a controller fixes that problem %100.

    I have both. A pink switch lite and a totk edition switch OLED. While I play my OLED the most I find that switch lite is useful for travel situations. I'm a girl with little hands and while the switch lite fits my hands and fits in my mini backpack very well. The OLEDs bigger and better screen + tabletop mode is awesome to have. I always switch between the 2 because the handheld experience is really good on the lite but then I miss the big screen of the OLED.

  • @TamaHawkLive
    @TamaHawkLive ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The single most important peice of information people need to consider when buying a Switch Lite is that "stick drift" is still very much a thing, Nintendo has never addressed it and if you get stick drift on a Lite model you will have to send your entire system in to be fixed unless you're privey to pulling apart the system yourself, the point is you cant simply walk into a game store and buy a replacement joycon like you can with a regular model or even buy a full on controler attachment for it with better sticks and buttons which they sell for regular models. This point should really be addressed in the video because its honestly a very critical point of information a buyer should have when considering the options.

    I wanted to like the Switch Lite but have been through 2 models. 1st one had the L button get stuck and the next one had an analogue stick not respond (which resetting the device didn't fix). I reverted back to standard model. Sure it's not as portable and the joycon place is somewhat wobbly but with my Switch Lites having issues, I'll just use the standard switch.

  • @g4rpl3i
    @g4rpl3i ปีที่แล้ว +3

    From what I saw in reviews is the thing that no one took the way it should've been. Nintendo switch was meant for long time gaming with more usefulness (TV). Switch Lite was meant for playing while travelling and NOT all day gaming. I mean, it has the word "Lite" for a reason beinng "weaker" version of the original. If people want to play at home, all day, with TV, choose switch because replacing joycons is easier that way. But since Lite was meant for not playing all day, at home, with TV, why need to "switch". The only reason, why it is called "Switch Lite is becaause Lite version looks like original Switch so people don't mistake the consoles. The important thing is the word "Lite". So yes, Switch Lite is underrated but it mainly depends on what type of gamer you are, by that, you choose the console. I want to buy Lite version because I wouldn't play on it all day and I wouldn't use the full potention of original (TV) so it makes more sense to me to buy Lite instead

    • @DogginsFroggins
      @DogginsFroggins ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I prefer the higher pixel density and smaller screen because of the Switches lacking power. Considering the lite has literally the same power how is it "weaker", you are reaching here.

    • @g4rpl3i
      @g4rpl3i ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@DogginsFroggins English is not my first language and some words have different meaning/translation to my language, sorry about that. I didn't mean literally weaker, what I meant was that Lite's purpose is lowered because Lite is Handheld only without removable joycons. Original switch can be connected to TV, can be played handheld, can change joycons, use joycons while playing with someone locally. This is what I meant "weaker". Lite's purpose is different than Original's. If I understood right, some people, who made reviews, tried to compare them in ways where Lite and Original was uncomparable. Yes of course, you can compare hardware between original and Lite but can't compare their purpose. I mean, saying that Lite is basically "not that worth it" because you can't plug it to TV is stupid because Lite is meant for travel mainly, not home usage like original. Same goes with the name. It's called Switch, even tho you can't switch the joycons, because they are similar looking consoles with similar hardware. I mean, if Switch Lite was named differently, would it make sense when the consoles look, work and are built similary? In my opinion, no. That's what I was trying to say in my first comment and why I also think that Lite is underrated. If you have more questions? Feel free to ask :)

    • @Bingo2501
      @Bingo2501 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I enjoy handheld gaming so much more than playing in front of a big screen, and so I enjoy playing with the Lite very much. The Lite is perfect for my purposes, like many other who prefer handheld gaming. I find it very strange when people desperately wanna praise a perfect system that everyone has to use. Why not just accept that there is not one solution for everybody, celebrate diversity, man. :D

    I bought the switch the day it came out. Was in hotel 8(army training stuff) at the time and didn't have access to a tv (or any gaming device for that matter) so I had got the switch light and was absolutely glued to the thing. Then when I got to my unit and had access to all my stuff again, I promptly put it away and haven't played on it since then. Only turned it on once I bought a regular switch to transfer my stuff over.

    Well, I tried the Lite before deciding for a red box model, and the build quality is pretty excellent. I just bought the one I have now because of the mutliplayer aspect, because my sister and I love to play in co-op on the same TV. I'm not even thinking about motion controls or anything here, but it's still nice to have the option. So the Lite is not for everyone, but kids will appreciate having a portable, solid system to play cool games. I've seen some myself so yeah.

    Honestly, if you have the money then it would be beneficial to have both the Lite and the Full Switch. You can use the full one for a more complete console experience that others can easily join in on, and use the Lite to have the mobility and all the unique benefits of a smaller, lighter and more complete handheld. It’s a costly investment though, and unless you’ve got a lot of extra money to spare then it might not be worth it. You could ask your family to pitch in for some of the cost, but then you’d have to convince them to make the investment since they might not initially see the purpose to it. Either way, it’s up to you if you want to do it. Personally I don’t have the money to do so and want to invest in other things instead, but if you do then you may reap some benefits from it.

    • @begmkuck4238
      @begmkuck4238 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just got a switch lite and at first i was kinda sad that i didn't get the normal one, but after spending some time i really liked the hand held experience of the lite. I also don't have friends coming over often so having a lite is okay to me. The only thing that I can comment on is the screen size, while playing games like Zelda I sometimes feel the need of a bigger screen but other than that I have no issues, lite model is also super light so i can play without sore wrists. Btw I also have a DS Lite, and I can say that the experience of playing with it feels quite close to me. So, if you don't use the dock and not have friends over I believe the Lite can be good option for you; maybe you can try it out somewhere to see how it feels in your hands. Sorry for the long reply, hope it helps!

    @kurosenpai 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As a Switch V2 and Lite owner, I am always in a dilemma. There is so much irony in Switch being a handheld portable gaming machine. We all know that Switch itself is a gaming console that, when it's docked, becomes similar to PS4 and XBOX1 but with the addition of undocking and being able to continue in handheld mode and play where ever you want. However, when Nintendo released the Switch Lite, it blew the Switch off when it comes to handheld mode. It is such a weird feeling that playing in handheld mode felt so much better on Lite when you know the Switch is also capable of doing that. I wish there is a sweet spot between Switch Lite and Switch. It would be awesome if they used the form factor of the Lite, but with removable joycon, and also made the bezel small and put it inside OLED screen.

Imo, the Oled can sometimes add too much color and the draw distance isn't as good on it compared to the Lite. It also cramps my hands over extended play times. Most games that you want to play on an oled, you might as well play on an oled TV if you already have one. Imo, an oled switch lite would be the GOAT handheld

    Aside from that, I've had my Switch Lite since Christmas 2019. I haven't had to repair it once and it has never drifted. The only issue with it is that it doesn't have a very good battery life, however, that may be due to me often playing with it plugged in, which can happen to any device that utilizes charging.
