Idk why you guys are so emotional that some people prefer the lite. It literally does not affect you in anyway lol just calm down and let people play games in peace
It's either cause they can't afford it of they have one and wanna pretend it's superior lol. Switch lite is perfect for having function to be on a big screen. For handheld, Switch lite is just better and they can't seem to handle that lol.
For me, I'd rather save that extra 100 bucks and use that towards getting more games. Just ordered my switch lite yesterday for my birthday and I am super excited
Tuli Gaming yes! It fits in my hand better than the og switch so it’s much easier to play. It’s also lighter and doesn’t slip out of my hands. Highly recommend
Name Is For A Loser the reason I would keep the lite is because I’ve never docked my switch, I’m way more into portable. My sister and her kids are not and would play primarily docked. Also it’s one of the older switches so I’d actually be getting more battery life (only a little)
I love how half my school hated the switch lite. Then i was the first person to get one and once they held it and pressed the buttons there was no going back.
for real portability the lite is better. I need to say i NEVER saw anyone outside with the normal switch and iam alot outside in public transportation. But i saw lately alot kids with a switch lite.
Wotans Krieger 99% of the time I use the switch’s portability just to play where I want in my house. The problem with the switch is that it’s so fragile and big so taking it out without a big case is a terrible idea. The 3DS is like the perfect portable imo. Being able to turn it into a brick makes it perfect.
I'm one of the weird ones that actually has two Switch systems (one Lite and one OG) and I use them both differently. After I got it, I used the Lite exclusively because I was always more into handheld gaming and it just felt so much better than my regular Switch to use in that regard. However, since I've been off work for a while I find myself using my OG Switch docked the majority of the time simply because I'm at home more. I see this changing next month when I go back to work but one thing I realized is that it's actually quite easy to Switch between the two since most games have cloud saves and you can quickly and easily grab your most recent save file from the cloud and resume it on the other system. And even for games that don't have cloud saves like Pokemon I found it still pretty easy to move my game data back and forth between the two devices though I've really only needed to do this twice so far as I pretty much just play one version of Pokemon on each different Switch.
Same here. And since I have a dock in both rooms, and with cloud saves, I carry everything over with me from work with my lite, to home. What's crazy is that, out of all my gamer friends at work, I'm the only one to mainly game on the Switch, even though I have them all. I will only look for Switch games to buy vs the others anyday. I'm also guilty of influencing 3 of my coworkers to buy a switch. 😁
For some reason, a fair amount of people over glorify the fact that a Switch can "become a handheld" because they don't realize it is originally a handheld that happens to be able to connect to a tv. Be surprised when a real console like a PS4 can become a handheld. Lol
It's nice to have options. Right now portable mode is impossible since I busted my shoulder and arm so I cant even hold it up or at the right angle. Split joycons save the day
eanna connolly I could afford both but I chose the lite because I was eyeing the switch for its portability feature because I already have a home console. I think a lot of people who bought the switch lite are in the same boat as me.

I was about to get another ps2 just to play FFXII again, until I found the revised version on the lite. When you are on the road, the portable gaming saves so much clutter.
The only issue I have with the Switch Lite is the lack of clamshell ability. It was a thing we had consistently in Nintendo handhelds from the SP up to the first 2DS (that also didn't make sense to me) and that they brought back with the New 2DS. I don't hey why they removed that feature again. I do like the idea of the home console and dedicated handheld having the same cartridges for once
I used my boyfriend's switch for a month and I hated it. I was planning on reselling my ACNH because I wouldn't play it anymore, until my sister convinced me to try the switch lite. I LOVED IT. It was a better fitting for me personal preferences. I hate playing on TV and hate huge electronic devices, I'm all about travel sizes. If I'm gathering with my friends I'd just use my command pro and that's it.
I literally just ordered a switch lite today. I found my old PSP and had forgotten what it was like to actually have a handheld be a handheld. Not sure what I'm going to do with my OG yet.
@@theo4643 you can emulate systems, get any switch game free, and install android OS to stream ps4 games (or your pc games). Can also install pc mods for skyrim switch edition. I have a lite and debating on ordering the upcoming mod chip or just get an og switch to mod
Am I the only person who really likes table top mode and REALLY LIKE the standard switch grip controller? Edit: the switch grip controller is trash I just bought a pro controller itsssssssss soooooo worth it!!!!
Just ordered a grey one yesterday and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe/Link's Awakening are gonna be my first two games. I can't wait to see what the fuss is about lol.
I'm just not a huge TV person - I KNOW that if I got a regular Switch I would maybe play it docked a handful of times just to try it out but aside from that I'd probably use it handheld 100% of the time - I'm the kind of person who will sit in the sofa, in front of my TV (which is internet connected and has Netflix), watching Netflix...on my laptop. My friends aren't really into console party games - we play boardgames, sometimes we'll play Jackbox (which I already have on PC). So for me, there's nothing about getting a regular Switch over the Switch lite that's worth the extra money - ESPECIALLY considering that based on my country's pricing + getting my Switch Lite on sale, getting a regular Switch would have cost almost double what I paid for my Switch Lite.
Even if I could afford a OG Switch, I'm in college and there's not a lot of space in my room for my T.V, much less my XBOX. I hardly use either unless it's the weekends or when I don't have class or work. Also, I don't really play games with... Other people? Lol. On top of that, I'm so used to a primary handheld (had almost ever iteration of the DS) that docking the switch isn't even a big thing for me. The dock would literally collect dust. Also... The OG Switch is... So big that using it in handheld mode doesn't even feel like a handheld to me. Also I have small hands and just want the Switch Lite in Pink 🌸
I play Docked every once in a while but its just nice having the option to play Docked, Handheld or Tabletop. I have a 4th way with Lets Go/SwSh with 1 joycon, i just wish GameFreak utilized the ZL/ZR buttons to move the camera in the Wild Area.:/
Fair enough, but most Switch third party games look like ass on a big screen. I had the OG switch and almost never played it on docked mode for that reason.
I’m getting a lite for my birthday next month because I’ll be using it for handheld gaming only. And I liked the all in one system. I have my series x and ps5 on the main tv and gonna use my switch for handheld gaming on the go for some good old Mario.
Bought my Switch Lite about a week ago. I love it so far! No problems yet. It has a good battery life, and feels good in my hands. The only thing that I’m worried about is joy con drift. Hopefully that doesn’t happen. So what if it is cheaper and doesn’t actually switch. It is still an amazing system.
You might be able to get a protection plan for your Switch, I know best buy does it, even after you purchase. If you get joycon drift you can just exchange it for another switch without having to wait on repairs....and thankfully the Switch Lite is way easier to find and replace than a regular switch.
If you have a family go with both. If you only need a nintendo fix and also own a pc or ps4, go with the lite. If you travel all the time and only really like handheld games, go with the lite.
I watched many videos saying save your money buy the Switch..I got that last year for the house. But since we are inside and I wanted to play Animal Crossing so I bought it. The minute I sat down everyone one wanted to play Mario Kart so I couldn’t veg out the way I wanted to. So the next day I got Smash Bros for the family and a Switch Lite for myself and I a LOVING it! At the end of the day it’s really down to you as the user..
Decided on the Switch Lite from the moment it was announced. My brother got the Switch when it got the updated internals, and kept telling me every so often about getting a regular switch instead of the light. My main games have become Pokemon, Mario Kart 8 and hopefully soon Mario Maker 2. Do I regret not getting a regular switch? Sometimes; when I go to a friends house or such and having a switch to dock and play Smash or Kart could be awesome. i still love the lite, it works great for me because of the need for a portable gaming console. I have moved from a PS4 to a Razer Blade 15 to play my big AAA games, and the switch is more like the secondary console for Nintendo games and on the go when I travel. For the time being, I am not sure if I can recommend a switch lite to someone as their main console, it is easier to do so if this is going to be their secondary one.
That’s what I love about my Switch Lite. It’s portable, colorful and light. I’ve always been more into handheld games so I don’t care about the regular Switch for playing on the TV. That’s what my PlayStation 4 is for, LOL. Thanks for your thoughts!
I have the HORI "clamshell" system protector on my Lite. It, has just enough "bump-grip" that makes the Lite very comfortable; for my big hands. The whole thing fits nicely in my tomtoc, case; that goes into my daypack. Good combo!
I love the Switch Lite, it’s the perfect size for me and it feels solid. The regular switch never felt super portable. it was almost risky. The Lite, i literally put in my pocket and take off. I only wish it could be easier to transfer save data my next move is a modded console, which i will make happen soon.
I sold my standard Switch and bought the Lite. Have not looked back- beautiful system, far more comfortable in handheld, dpad, no sliding joycons, better looking etc... I much prefer the Lite. I have a PS4 for console gaming anyway, Razer 15 laptop for PC gaming and I wanted another pure handheld to go with my PS Vita.
I put over 400 hours on my switch lite. Haven’t had drift yet... hopefully don’t jinx myself. Lol I hardly play my OG switch. Although I prefer BOTW on my big screen.
I never had any drifting issues with any portable console but my og switch has started drifting it’s really annoying Nintendo really need to sort the drifting issues out
I feel like every review I see puts down the switch lite. They don't focus on why its good, they just state the fact that its portable and light. They are all just like, ya its good but switch is better. Besides, some people cant afford a switch, and you have to pay for the games too which can hurt some wallets. Honestly as a person who has the lite, watching some videos just being like "lite is useless" and that "its a waste of money" just hurts. like i got it as a birthday present and i love it soo much. its light and sturdy, feels great in your hands, i love the feel of the buttons, and the texture. You should get the switch lite if: -you travel a lot -you don't care about docking -you cant afford the switch -already have a wii or some other thing that supports multiple people playing at once.
To each his own but it sounds like you’re trying to sell yourself on liking the switch lite over the regular switch. I agree with you on many things like price. There’s so much value that comes with that extra $100, at least for me. I don’t dock it often either but it’s really nice when I do. Either way, you do you bro.
I'm in the same boat, I have both but almost always use my lite. It's more conformable, and looks gorgeous. And the buttons feel better on the hands in a majority of games
I love the Switch Lite, its a very pretty console, i decided to buy one instead of a full Switch and i don't regret it, after all i'm still having a PS4 for Home console gaming.
I had a regular switch but in the 18 months I had it I think I used it docked 3 or 4 times. That’s it. I swapped to a lite and I far prefer it. Just feels better in the hands to me. Battery life for me is fine, I get about 4 hours on Zelda. I love the lite. I got the yellow - it’s awesome!
I love switch lite so much more than the regular switch. The only issue I have with it is the potential of it drifting. Haven't had problems so far tho
Other than being bit more comfortable, there's no real reason to get a Switch Lite. Og Switch does everything the switch lite does but better. $100 more for the dock and other og exclusives are totally worth its price
I think it depends on who is gonna use it. If you are a kid and you're not allowed on the tv, or doesn't have the money, get the lite. If you are a casual gamer and know that you never gonna dock it, get the lite. If you already have a Xbox/Ps and only want a switch for Nintendo exclusives, maybe get the lite. If you are a parent and just don't have the money for a switch (or don't want the switch on the tv), get the lite. Or if you wanna buy a switch for all your kids, get them lites. There is a place for the lite, but I agree that for 100 euro extra you'll get a lot more.
I have both. I’m on the bus for 4 hours every day, but the switch was too large to take. Switch lite fits in pocket on top of my lunch bag, so I can play it on bus but people at work don’t know I have it.
I´m a really casual player- I don´t want a bunch of wild features or to play on a TV. I really just want something relaxing and fun for downtime, and since I´m an introvert, downtime usually means by myself. Also, I love simplicity and aesthetics. I think the regular switch is ugly, but boy does the lite look cute. Although I´ve noticed lots of people commenting on the battery life, I think I should be okay with it because I don´t plan to play for long stretches of time, or even play games that should suck up lots of battery. Plus, I do want to save 100 bucks. Thanks for your review, you´ve really helped me make my decision.
I have the switch lite because it’s cheaper, more portable and I have small hands so it feels a lot better in my hands, people who actually hate on the switch lite have issues
I'm a nostalgic .. in the lite version I see the nintendo philosophy in all its beauty and purity. playing on the move like when I was a child is all I asked for.
늑대 I agree so much. Nintendo was always a company for the inner child in us adult gamers as well as actual children. So with the lite, you see that classic Nintendo heart and soul. Especially with the bright colors.
I couldn't just go for a Lite. I like the fact you can play it on a TV too. Mario Odyssey looks far better on a big TV so you can appreciate everything.
Idk why you guys are so emotional that some people prefer the lite. It literally does not affect you in anyway lol just calm down and let people play games in peace

Nintendo should have made a $300 Lite with 3DS/DS card slot🤔🤔
Jimmy Lopez and with joysticks that don’t drift unless that has been fixed as I have the the og switch
3:02 that gameboy colourway is so epic! Would like to see that one in stores
The only issue I have with the Switch Lite is the lack of clamshell ability. It was a thing we had consistently in Nintendo handhelds from the SP up to the first 2DS (that also didn't make sense to me) and that they brought back with the New 2DS. I don't hey why they removed that feature again. I do like the idea of the home console and dedicated handheld having the same cartridges for once
I used my boyfriend's switch for a month and I hated it. I was planning on reselling my ACNH because I wouldn't play it anymore, until my sister convinced me to try the switch lite. I LOVED IT. It was a better fitting for me personal preferences. I hate playing on TV and hate huge electronic devices, I'm all about travel sizes. If I'm gathering with my friends I'd just use my command pro and that's it.
Glad to see you finally saw the light.
I love my switch lite. I really couldn’t afford a regular switch so a cheaper more portable option was the best for me
Drifted to Switch Lite.
Suite Life of Dio Brando lol joycon drifted
^_________^
No just no
Well played sir
@@stoopiddudz2634 you got a switch, if you do you would understand the drift part lmao
I literally just ordered a switch lite today. I found my old PSP and had forgotten what it was like to actually have a handheld be a handheld. Not sure what I'm going to do with my OG yet.
Check the serial number, see if you can jailbreak it?
I think I'm gonna sell my v1 and get a v2 limited edition tbh :p
@@randomdude5070 ohhh yes then u can get all games free and like PS4 games right?
@@theo4643 you can emulate systems, get any switch game free, and install android OS to stream ps4 games (or your pc games). Can also install pc mods for skyrim switch edition. I have a lite and debating on ordering the upcoming mod chip or just get an og switch to mod
Holy shit it's not patched lol. I'm not really interested in the whole emulation scene either. Probably just gonna sell it for a good amount of money.
Am I the only person who really likes table top mode and REALLY LIKE the standard switch grip controller?
Edit: the switch grip controller is trash I just bought a pro controller itsssssssss soooooo worth it!!!!
This is so unintentionally The Office in style. David Brent on consoles.
Idk why but I somehow regret getting the normal Switch instead of the Lite. It’s also uncomfortable as hell and a little too big for me :(
👌
;)
makxyala maybe because they prefer handheld...which is why the lite exists...
@makxyala lol u mad.
2024 and still no Switch Pro lol
Just ordered a grey one yesterday and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe/Link's Awakening are gonna be my first two games. I can't wait to see what the fuss is about lol.
I'm just not a huge TV person - I KNOW that if I got a regular Switch I would maybe play it docked a handful of times just to try it out but aside from that I'd probably use it handheld 100% of the time - I'm the kind of person who will sit in the sofa, in front of my TV (which is internet connected and has Netflix), watching Netflix...on my laptop. My friends aren't really into console party games - we play boardgames, sometimes we'll play Jackbox (which I already have on PC).
So for me, there's nothing about getting a regular Switch over the Switch lite that's worth the extra money - ESPECIALLY considering that based on my country's pricing + getting my Switch Lite on sale, getting a regular Switch would have cost almost double what I paid for my Switch Lite.
damn he turned this into a whole interview
Even if I could afford a OG Switch, I'm in college and there's not a lot of space in my room for my T.V, much less my XBOX. I hardly use either unless it's the weekends or when I don't have class or work. Also, I don't really play games with... Other people? Lol. On top of that, I'm so used to a primary handheld (had almost ever iteration of the DS) that docking the switch isn't even a big thing for me. The dock would literally collect dust. Also... The OG Switch is... So big that using it in handheld mode doesn't even feel like a handheld to me. Also I have small hands and just want the Switch Lite in Pink 🌸
Same, I really don’t care for the the OG. I’d rather have the Lite and if I do decide to get the OG I can sell my Lite and buy the OG
Yeah, no. I like being able to “switch”. To each their own.
Its basically 2 consoles in 1 with immediate cross progression
fair
I only ever use docked mode to play xenoblade2
I play Docked every once in a while but its just nice having the option to play Docked, Handheld or Tabletop. I have a 4th way with Lets Go/SwSh with 1 joycon, i just wish GameFreak utilized the ZL/ZR buttons to move the camera in the Wild Area.:/
Fair enough, but most Switch third party games look like ass on a big screen. I had the OG switch and almost never played it on docked mode for that reason.
I’m getting a lite for my birthday next month because I’ll be using it for handheld gaming only. And I liked the all in one system. I have my series x and ps5 on the main tv and gonna use my switch for handheld gaming on the go for some good old Mario.
This video format makes it just look like a complete ad. Really weird to interview yourself.

Bought my Switch Lite about a week ago. I love it so far! No problems yet. It has a good battery life, and feels good in my hands. The only thing that I’m worried about is joy con drift. Hopefully that doesn’t happen. So what if it is cheaper and doesn’t actually switch. It is still an amazing system.
You might be able to get a protection plan for your Switch, I know best buy does it, even after you purchase. If you get joycon drift you can just exchange it for another switch without having to wait on repairs....and thankfully the Switch Lite is way easier to find and replace than a regular switch.
A C Thank you for your advice! I appreciate it!
Laura Hughes why did you touch you’re cousin
Bejar03 omg lol. All I can tell you is was it worth it? No it wasn’t.
I got myself a switch lite for Christmas. I love it!
If you have a family go with both. If you only need a nintendo fix and also own a pc or ps4, go with the lite. If you travel all the time and only really like handheld games, go with the lite.
6:03 I saw what you did there, Kevin.
I watched many videos saying save your money buy the Switch..I got that last year for the house. But since we are inside and I wanted to play Animal Crossing so I bought it. The minute I sat down everyone one wanted to play Mario Kart so I couldn’t veg out the way I wanted to. So the next day I got Smash Bros for the family and a Switch Lite for myself and I a LOVING it! At the end of the day it’s really down to you as the user..
Decided on the Switch Lite from the moment it was announced. My brother got the Switch when it got the updated internals, and kept telling me every so often about getting a regular switch instead of the light. My main games have become Pokemon, Mario Kart 8 and hopefully soon Mario Maker 2. Do I regret not getting a regular switch? Sometimes; when I go to a friends house or such and having a switch to dock and play Smash or Kart could be awesome. i still love the lite, it works great for me because of the need for a portable gaming console. I have moved from a PS4 to a Razer Blade 15 to play my big AAA games, and the switch is more like the secondary console for Nintendo games and on the go when I travel. For the time being, I am not sure if I can recommend a switch lite to someone as their main console, it is easier to do so if this is going to be their secondary one.
That’s what I love about my Switch Lite. It’s portable, colorful and light. I’ve always been more into handheld games so I don’t care about the regular Switch for playing on the TV. That’s what my PlayStation 4 is for, LOL. Thanks for your thoughts!
All I want is a lime green switch lite
I have the HORI "clamshell" system protector on my Lite. It, has just enough "bump-grip" that makes the Lite very comfortable; for my big hands. The whole thing fits nicely in my tomtoc, case; that goes into my daypack. Good combo!
I love the Switch Lite, it’s the perfect size for me and it feels solid.
The regular switch never felt super portable. it was almost risky. The Lite, i literally put in my pocket and take off.
I only wish it could be easier to transfer save data
my next move is a modded console, which i will make happen soon.
0:28 "KEVIN KENOS"
Lmao
Rusty PaladinHD so he interviewed himself but got his name wrong? So confused lol
I agree I don’t get why so many people just have out right hate for the lite and get down on people who prefer the lite
I sold my standard Switch and bought the Lite. Have not looked back- beautiful system, far more comfortable in handheld, dpad, no sliding joycons, better looking etc... I much prefer the Lite. I have a PS4 for console gaming anyway, Razer 15 laptop for PC gaming and I wanted another pure handheld to go with my PS Vita.
Pls give me the answer about the joy con drift. Dose that happen because it getting dust and oder staff get in the sticks or how pls i need the answer
I put over 400 hours on my switch lite.
Haven’t had drift yet... hopefully don’t jinx myself. Lol
I hardly play my OG switch. Although I prefer BOTW on my big screen.
I never had any drifting issues with any portable console but my og switch has started drifting it’s really annoying Nintendo really need to sort the drifting issues out
Breath of the Fild?
The Runaway Kid Yeah, the worst part is you can just switch out the joy-con.
Livewafflez. Whoops typo, meant BOTW.
The one game I like to play on the big screen, BOTW
I feel like every review I see puts down the switch lite.
They don't focus on why its good, they just state the fact that its portable and light.
They are all just like, ya its good but switch is better.
Besides, some people cant afford a switch, and you have to pay for the games too which can hurt some wallets.
Honestly as a person who has the lite, watching some videos just being like "lite is useless" and that "its a waste of money" just hurts. like i got it as a birthday present and i love it soo much. its light and sturdy, feels great in your hands, i love the feel of the buttons, and the texture.
You should get the switch lite if:
-you travel a lot
-you don't care about docking
-you cant afford the switch
-already have a wii or some other thing that supports multiple people playing at once.
I'm getting a Switch lite because I already have a PS4 and want it just to play Animal Crossing 😂
Loveunit yess that’s I want the lite cause I already have a console and have no use for dock
I loved animal crossing for about a month. Then I realised that it is not my type of game and that I suck at it, so then I got 100% on odyssey
I always find it funny how you produce your videos as interviewing yourself like a game dev.
To each his own but it sounds like you’re trying to sell yourself on liking the switch lite over the regular switch.
I agree with you on many things like price. There’s so much value that comes with that extra $100, at least for me.
I don’t dock it often either but it’s really nice when I do.
Either way, you do you bro.
I'm in the same boat, I have both but almost always use my lite. It's more conformable, and looks gorgeous. And the buttons feel better on the hands in a majority of games
Being a console player I chose the lite because if I’m home I have other consoles I’d rather play, so I only use my switch when I’m not home.
I love the Switch Lite, its a very pretty console, i decided to buy one instead of a full Switch and i don't regret it, after all i'm still having a PS4 for Home console gaming.
Yeah, I don’t see the Swtich Pro controversy. And I won’t choose Switch Lite because I love TV mode.
I had a regular switch but in the 18 months I had it I think I used it docked 3 or 4 times. That’s it. I swapped to a lite and I far prefer it. Just feels better in the hands to me. Battery life for me is fine, I get about 4 hours on Zelda. I love the lite. I got the yellow - it’s awesome!
It's literally grab and go.
I love it.
I love switch lite so much more than the regular switch. The only issue I have with it is the potential of it drifting. Haven't had problems so far tho
Next vid:
I need to go to surgery because the switch lite deformed my hands
I bought a Switch Lite and I have no regrets. I have never had a desire to play it docked
* before using *
Me: why! The hell Nintendo did This!
* after using *
Also me: hmm.... nice.
Same! On paper, switch lite is meh. But it’s so much better in handheld than a switch
All of your videos are like short films! I love the effort you put in these video's, keep up the good work!
Other than being bit more comfortable, there's no real reason to get a Switch Lite. Og Switch does everything the switch lite does but better. $100 more for the dock and other og exclusives are totally worth its price
I think it depends on who is gonna use it.
If you are a kid and you're not allowed on the tv, or doesn't have the money, get the lite.
If you are a casual gamer and know that you never gonna dock it, get the lite.
If you already have a Xbox/Ps and only want a switch for Nintendo exclusives, maybe get the lite.
If you are a parent and just don't have the money for a switch (or don't want the switch on the tv), get the lite. Or if you wanna buy a switch for all your kids, get them lites.
There is a place for the lite, but I agree that for 100 euro extra you'll get a lot more.
I have both. I’m on the bus for 4 hours every day, but the switch was too large to take. Switch lite fits in pocket on top of my lunch bag, so I can play it on bus but people at work don’t know I have it.
Smaller and more portable. The way it feels is so much better than the original switch its hard to go back for me. Also has a real d pad.
I don't want to dock it. Use it only in handheld. Switch Lite more comfortable and portable. The extra $100 would be a downgrade for me.
sly2792004 hahahah I’m glad you never have to wear ladies jeans 😅
I´m a really casual player- I don´t want a bunch of wild features or to play on a TV.
I really just want something relaxing and fun for downtime, and since I´m an introvert, downtime usually means by myself.
Also, I love simplicity and aesthetics. I think the regular switch is ugly, but boy does the lite look cute.
Although I´ve noticed lots of people commenting on the battery life, I think I should be okay with it because I don´t plan to play for long stretches of time, or even play games that should suck up lots of battery. Plus, I do want to save 100 bucks.
Thanks for your review, you´ve really helped me make my decision.
I love Nintendo switch lite bc it is liter and it fits in my pocket and it fits perfectly in my hands as well
The battery life is incredible. I play 100% handheld and use switch 2.0 over switch light exclusively for that reason.
i was literally thinking the same thought as the beginning the second that this was uploaded
I have the switch lite because it’s cheaper, more portable and I have small hands so it feels a lot better in my hands, people who actually hate on the switch lite have issues
Loved that intro! Where do you get your music?
Anyway have a great rest of your day
One for work and other for home. I've drop both.
my dad loves your content :)
What about you?

I admit, I'm so scared of Switch Lite drift, that I bring an 8bitdo SF30 with me in another case. Can't mess up the Pokemon Limited Edition at all...
Regular switch all the way! I can’t give up that HD rumble
Ordered the New Horizon Edition Switch yesterday, so excited! It’s coming in a few days!!! 😨😭 so glad I was able to get a hold of one
Why I switched to 3DS.

They should release a 3ds port of rocket league

Amazing video production! Dude you’re awesome, I love your videos.🙏🏼
I am getting a swich lite for Christmas 🎄
I'm a nostalgic .. in the lite version I see the nintendo philosophy in all its beauty and purity. playing on the move like when I was a child is all I asked for.
늑대 I agree so much. Nintendo was always a company for the inner child in us adult gamers as well as actual children. So with the lite, you see that classic Nintendo heart and soul. Especially with the bright colors.
I couldn't just go for a Lite. I like the fact you can play it on a TV too. Mario Odyssey looks far better on a big TV so you can appreciate everything.
The battery life upgrade alone is worth the upgrade. Playing Witcher 3 for 5 hrs handheld is pretty unreal
Should’ve switched yesterday for Valentine’s Day.
The quality and time put in to these videos is amazing
I love ur channel so much❤️❤️❤️
