I think a lot of people just wanted a cheaper, maybe less powerful version of the switch. Just because the product isn't made to fill a hole in the market doesn't mean the hole disappears. Hell, I'd pay good money for a switch lite with just an HDMI out port. I don't need dock but it does feel like Nintendo made an expensive 2DS which can play console games, rather than a smaller, cheaper version of an already expensive console, something they could fix with something as small as HDMI out or Wifi screen streaming.
Transitions between two standards can be hard... But they don't have to be. Devices can support old and new. The switch is stuck only supporting the old when devices for years have supported Bluetooth. Nintendo designed this product without properly considering the future. Or maybe they ignored it because they're Nintendo and people will adapt to them.
A dockable Switch Lite would be my ideal gaming system. I never detach my joycons and always use the pro controller when my Switch is docked, so a Switch I can just take in an out, that's more portable and has better battery would be perfect.
Yeah. That’ll never happen. The whole point of the lite was that it was geared towards the handheld players. To make it dockable would mean losing the cheaper price tag.
@@adamburke4738 It wouldn't though. The chip needed to dock it is dirt cheap. They just didn't include to keep artificial product differentiation. Instead of people like me buying just Switch lite, you need to get a regular Switch to play on the TV and a lite for the portability. Regardless, it doesn't matter if Nintendo will do it. It's just my dream system, not the one that makes the most business sense.
@@adamburke4738 It's about $5. If you buy it in bulk like Nintendo you could slash that to a half or even a quarter of the original price. I tried sending a link but youtube deleted the comment. If you search this up you will find it: "HDMI IC Video Output Chip M92T17 For Nintendo Switch"
Every review I've seen of the Switch Lite has basically been the same. Nintendo: "Do you want to buy a Switch that only has handheld functionality and can't be docked and played in TV mode, but it's cheaper than the regular version?" Reviewer: "Yes I do want to buy that, but now I'm going to complain that it only has handheld functionality and can't be docked and played in TV mode".
@@SsolarF Completely agree. I moved away to go to college and had to leave my original Switch (which I already mostly used in portable mode) with my brothers. Now I'm thinking of getting a Lite since it's cheaper, more portable, and most important of all: I have no freaking TV!!

"It's amazing how much difference an inch makes..." Linus, it's not about the size of the Hardware. It's about how much fun you can have Playing With It... Wait... That Came out wrong...
@NatureHawkSwitch lite runs at 720p, and it has a 720p screen so ir is beautiful. But playing 720p on normal Switch at a 1080p screen or more, it will be blurred. But there are games wich run at TV on Switch, like Mario Kart 8 and Xenoblade 3. But you are Just a hater that know that is wrong and tell lies ou purpose
I always found that the DS Lite was cheap shit that broke easily, most of my friends that had one also had broken trigger buttons. I really preferred my "fat" DS.
because it actually is. They're just using the "switch" moniker probably to cash in on the name itself being decently popular after the OG Switch's success
And it's kinda what they did by releasing the 2DS. You have the premium/flagship product with all the features, eg. 3D for the 3DS and docking for the Switch, and then they release a more budget version that plays the same games but has some trade offs. Less premium feel and some features are removed.
It honestly depends Do you go out alot, or are you just busy? Are you someone who has a more laidback lifestyle, and likes to stay home and work with what you have? Or do you just prefer to be able to take it anywhere without being scared you will lose a essential (a controller, charger, etc)? All these factors define which is better for you personally.
Honestly what's adding insult to injury is that it's 2019 and women's pants STILL can't hold nearly half of what Linus has shoved into his pockets during this review!
My pants generally can't hold anything. If I'm wearing any. That's why handbags are a thing I guess. I usually don't even have pockets on the clothes I wear. And that's annoying as hell, but what are you gonna do? XD One of my favourite items of clothing is a dress that has two pockets. Such a simple thing, and you'd assume it could be added to lots of women's clothing. But apparently not. Because screw practical considerations, right?
@@KuraIthys Yeah it's done on purpose to force women to buy purses so they can make money off them. I hate having to carry a bag because i want both my arms to be free. It's such a hindrance.
I feel this is the most neutral review yet. I expected you to recommend it like the other TH-camrs: "Great to use on the go while your other switch stays docked". Well I can just pick up my current switch from the dock and not buy an entire other console. It's not like the PS4 and Vita situation, so don't recommend it that way. Yes some people may benefit, and I quite agree with the touch screen. Fingers can't reach all the way. But if you already have a switch and aren't s collector, or just have a lot of spare money, then the regular switch is just as portable. But if you don't have one and really don't care at all about tv mode then of course it's worth it. Can still pair n joycons if you feel the need to play that way.
@@7Write4This9Heart7 To be fair they don't make great use of it. In youtube for example you can't scroll up and down video lists (for example your sub box) meaning you're forced to use the joystick.
Yah, it's easier for reviewers to say to use one for the go and keep on at home when they got the consoles for free or a compulsive Nintendo fan who was going to buy it no matter what.
Plus, talks about how the smaller screen allows him to use the touch functionality and then proceeds to use the right index finger, making the point moot
Same, PC is built, and now I've got this for Pokemon Sword, I'm covered. Am gonna get an actual switch and give the lite to my brother eventually. I bet the visuals are GORGEOUS on a TV, plus my hands are a little big for the lite. 😂
In my opinion, I couldn't care less that the Switch Lite doesn't work on TV's and can't be docked. It's meant to be a portable device for people that DON'T like the dock because either a they think it's stupid and/or b they're afraid of scratching it (the Switch screen that is). Same with the joy cons, I couldn't care less whether you can't detach them. Again, it's meant to be a handheld device.
Jordan King I bought a switch when the lite came out. I was never convinced about the other switch. If I wanna play on my tv I have a ps4 where I can play in 4K HDR, and if u wanna go crazier then a pc or the other Xbox with true 4K could be better. To me nintendo is all about handbells. I’ve owned pretty much all of them without even realizing. Like u need a handheld and that’s why we have nintendo.
@NestorRamirez you’re not playing 4k hdr with a ps4 pro, ps4 is 1080p and they scale it up to “imitate 4k” its not native 4k content, only the xbox one x plays native 4k and has a 4k blu ray player, if you have a 4k tv and a proper sound system and setup, you’re missing out trust me. Native 4k hdr10 compared to upscaled 1080p. Do the research for yourself
Toronto Plus even if it’s upscale 4K you can’t tell a difference. Specially when playing a little far from tv, u probably could tell a diference in a small monitor though. But not on a tv. So yeah my point it’s still there, if u wanna play on a tv then just get a PS4 pro or an xbone. The switch is a handheld for most people who own it.
We have a family switch but I wanted one for myself. I preordered the switch oled but changed my mind and went for the lite and I’m loving it it feels so much nicer and stronger in the hand even having big hands as I am 6,1 tall I still find the switch lite some comfortable. I think it could be because it’s lighter. I’m hoping eventually they will upgrade the switch lite with an oled display and maybe a system upgrade and some games do struggle a bit. I downloaded doom internal and it’s so much fun. The main reason I got the lite is because I have no intention of docking it.
I really enjoyed 3D on the 3ds personally and since they abandoned it on the switch it actually helps maintain nostalgia value for the 3ds. I feel better about keeping rather than trading it.
same. i have to replace my top screen though. and I was reading forums where people said the 3ds is one of the best gba emulators because the software or something is baked in. so now im turning mine into a emulator
same goes for the double screen format. My 3ds fully replaced my DSi as soon as I got it, but the 3Ds will be timeless as long as Nintendo doesn't release another 2 screen handheld.
@@v6_masayuki because they expect a switch pro at ps5 level with a 4k display that is more portable than the original switch but also has a bigger button layout at the price of 200$
@@johnwarosa2905 All they had to do is give lite a HDMI out, that's not much to ask really, would have cost pennies to implement. Switch exists in it's own niche, a second rate home console that can be played on its own without an external screen. Something you primarily use at home, but can take with you if you so desire. As a purely handheld even the lite is still pretty chonky - i'm still only going to take it out with me purposely, it's not a 3ds that can spend most of its life in my jacket pocket. As a handheld lite is certainly better, but the price cut doesn't compensate for being only able to play on the shitty small screen.
@@hal6679 I have had mine over a year now and never had any trouble with it. Some function that are meant for the original switch that doesn't work on Lite version, but that's not a lot. I think Lite has everything I need.
@@hal6679 i've had mine for three months and haven't had drift, I usually just spend an hour or two and try to be really gentle with the buttons and keep it clean. I don't play every single day either and I keep it in a case.
I really want to get myself a used Nintendo switch but its so hard to find one, there are only new Nintendo switches witch cost around 336€ i was thinking to get the switch Lite because it was way cheaper but i prefer the regular switch over the switch Lite should i wait even longer for it?
Went and bought a USB DAC/AMP so I don't really use it anymore. Though I have once when I was on low power since I don't have a power pass through dongle yet.
I liked the Vita too. But the market just wasn't feeling it. By all means it shouldn't have failed, but my only guess is that people just had Nintendo on their minds.
@@u5654 I know your only correcting what was stated but how the heck was it racist? Some people are scrapping the bottom of the barrel now. Can you understand why they would say racist?
@@Reyn_the_Insane ... Would it? The WII U failed because Nintendo relied too heavily on brand recognition and nobody knew what the hell it was until it was launched, and by that point nobody cared. Relying on people recognising a brand does not work when new iterations come out that completely change that brand's... Brand. In this case, it's a Switch that doesn't switch. A name change only makes sense.
@@garyinthecolehouse The Wii U was an entirely new console. It failed BECAUSE it used the Wii name. I was not an add on or a variant of the Wii. The Switch lite is still a Switch at its core, it just can't be docked. It plays Switch games only, so calling it something else would confuse consumers.
@@DarthRevan961 those i've seen uses the gamecard port rather than the memory card port so it wouldn't work too well simce i've got some games on card as well.
I’ve had to replace 3 sets of joycons on my son’s switch. Now that the latest pair have started to drift, I just bought a 3rd party wireless pro controller and the switch stays in the dock, portable no more. I won’t go anywhere near this thing until it’s had plenty of time for the early adopters to determine if this will have the same problems.
When the Switch Lite was first announced, one of the main talking points of it was the improved battery life. Now though, the new Nintendo Switch has an even better battery life than the Switch Lite. EDIT: I like that my comment has become a discussion for all the problems of the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite.
@@Aereto That's what makes the regular Switch better. More battery life and you can still use it while drifting Joy-Con are out for repairs. Once your Switch Lite starts drifting, you have to send out the whole thing for repairs.
@@avroken *Up to* 7 hours. Depending on what you play, you'll likely only get around 3-5 hours. My 2019 Switch generally hits around 5-7 hours even though it's rated for up to 9 hours.
@@Some-guy-on-the-internet people are so misinformed..The joysticks are actually slightly different including different components, all i hear about is the 2 people who have drifting thumbsticks on the switch lite. Doubt its even the same malfunction as this only really happens after using it for months, not 4 days. Probably just a loose connection to the motherboard, had the same thing with my xbox one controller
Im sure there is something that could be swapped in and fit without issues. How would it change the experience would there be any issues with the internal layout but the big question would it be worth the hit to battery life?
If the screen was bigger in the same form factor, and it could dock (even if the dock was sold separate) this would be the perfect little console for me! (Also a huge PC game lover here)
I wanted a Switch in time for lockdown, and since everyone else had the same idea I was restricted to only getting the Switch Lite. I love it, I wish it would dock to my TV, the screen had better resolution and the left analogue stick squeaks a lot these days (and I'm not a heavy user, I'm one of those that doesn't touch it for weeks verging on months then doesn't put it down for three days straight), but that's all I have to say on complaint front!
If it happens it's at least some years off. A switch pro would result in ports that physically don't work on the weaker versions and neither Nintendo nor the general market wAnt to split the market like that for a while.
Right now they need any sponsorship on the industry and beyond. LLT is getting bigger and bigger every month it passes. TH-cam it's a tough place to maintain a business so, get ready for more of it or that's what i honestly think...
I have a switch lite and had it for 6 months. I have never had a large issue with Joy-Con drift, the only time I had it was in Breath of the Wild, but it was easily fixable by just the recalibration system that is built into the switch, which can be accessed in the settings. I have used both consoles before and I prefer the lite because, 1. I use handheld more and the lite is more comfortable in the hand and 2. the cost.
Was never worth it. High latency, battery drain, etc. Get yourself audiophile quality "ChiFi" IEMs for $45, plug them in, and be transported with higher quality audio than Bluetooth, no recharging necessary.
@@dylanbarreto6529 "ChiFi" isn't a product/a specific thing - it's a category/class of earbuds. Basically, any of the thousands of pretty-good Chinese made IEMs that sound good, but aren't super expensive like other offerings. There's hundreds of brands - this isn't an advertisement, bruh. Chill with the ignorance.
So I still contend that the Switch Lite was Nintendo's solution to the hacking of the original switch, since the only way to hack it was an exploit in the controller's connection. The fact that Bluetooth (another avenue hackers use to exploit hardware) was removed, from a chipset that includes it, seems to confirm it to me.
I was like, who the heck is Jonathan Downey? And then I see Spawn and Im like, wasn't his real name SPAWN?? Ive been lied to. Also, of course it had to be him who loooooves to open stuff
@@JadeMythriil What killed vita wasn't advertising. It was the decision to make the system overly complex and using a high-priced proprietary memory cards without any in-built storage.
2:37 "poop" If they would have added a micro-HDMI out at the top center and included a 10-15" cable, you could have just used the console as the controller and it would have been perfect.

Nintendo: we're making a cheap handheld only Switch.
Reviewers: It's awesome! But I wish it also had dock mode.
Nintendo: uhmm what?
EXACTLY! That’s what I was thinking, it’s meant to be a handheld. If it could dock, then it would just be a switch.
Welcome to society
I think a lot of people just wanted a cheaper, maybe less powerful version of the switch. Just because the product isn't made to fill a hole in the market doesn't mean the hole disappears.
Hell, I'd pay good money for a switch lite with just an HDMI out port. I don't need dock but it does feel like Nintendo made an expensive 2DS which can play console games, rather than a smaller, cheaper version of an already expensive console, something they could fix with something as small as HDMI out or Wifi screen streaming.
Matthew Stevens it’s supposed to be handheld
@@jherrington3359 and also people should stop calling those who can't afford the regular Switch Poorfags
2016: complaining about a missing headphone jack.
2019: complaining about a missing bluetooth for wireless earplugs.
Because at least nearly every portable consumer device since 2016 and earlier has had Bluetooth.
P R O G R E S S
Transitions between two standards can be hard... But they don't have to be. Devices can support old and new. The switch is stuck only supporting the old when devices for years have supported Bluetooth. Nintendo designed this product without properly considering the future. Or maybe they ignored it because they're Nintendo and people will adapt to them.
Pretty sure the switch could support bluetooth headphones with a simple update if nintendo just gave a fuck and did it
And welcome noticeable lag. Nintendo won't pay for AAC or AptX LL.
A dockable Switch Lite would be my ideal gaming system. I never detach my joycons and always use the pro controller when my Switch is docked, so a Switch I can just take in an out, that's more portable and has better battery would be perfect.
Yeah. That’ll never happen. The whole point of the lite was that it was geared towards the handheld players. To make it dockable would mean losing the cheaper price tag.
@@adamburke4738 It wouldn't though. The chip needed to dock it is dirt cheap. They just didn't include to keep artificial product differentiation. Instead of people like me buying just Switch lite, you need to get a regular Switch to play on the TV and a lite for the portability.
Regardless, it doesn't matter if Nintendo will do it. It's just my dream system, not the one that makes the most business sense.
@@vico7727 can you prove the chip is cheap?

This feels more like a successor to the 3DS
because it actually is. They're just using the "switch" moniker probably to cash in on the name itself being decently popular after the OG Switch's success
The 3DS is so much more portable though. Just less shitty graphics and a downgrade in ergonomics
That’s what it is
And it's kinda what they did by releasing the 2DS. You have the premium/flagship product with all the features, eg. 3D for the 3DS and docking for the Switch, and then they release a more budget version that plays the same games but has some trade offs. Less premium feel and some features are removed.
More like a spiritual succesor to PS Vita and GBA if anything.
It honestly depends
Do you go out alot, or are you just busy?
Are you someone who has a more laidback lifestyle, and likes to stay home and work with what you have?
Or do you just prefer to be able to take it anywhere without being scared you will lose a essential (a controller, charger, etc)?

I feel this is the most neutral review yet. I expected you to recommend it like the other TH-camrs: "Great to use on the go while your other switch stays docked". Well I can just pick up my current switch from the dock and not buy an entire other console. It's not like the PS4 and Vita situation, so don't recommend it that way.
Yes some people may benefit, and I quite agree with the touch screen. Fingers can't reach all the way. But if you already have a switch and aren't s collector, or just have a lot of spare money, then the regular switch is just as portable.
But if you don't have one and really don't care at all about tv mode then of course it's worth it. Can still pair n joycons if you feel the need to play that way.
I literally forgot the Switch had a touchsceen until this vid. LMAO.
@@7Write4This9Heart7 To be fair they don't make great use of it. In youtube for example you can't scroll up and down video lists (for example your sub box) meaning you're forced to use the joystick.
Yah, it's easier for reviewers to say to use one for the go and keep on at home when they got the consoles for free or a compulsive Nintendo fan who was going to buy it no matter what.

In my opinion, I couldn't care less that the Switch Lite doesn't work on TV's and can't be docked. It's meant to be a portable device for people that DON'T like the dock because either a they think it's stupid and/or b they're afraid of scratching it (the Switch screen that is). Same with the joy cons, I couldn't care less whether you can't detach them. Again, it's meant to be a handheld device.
Jordan King I bought a switch when the lite came out. I was never convinced about the other switch. If I wanna play on my tv I have a ps4 where I can play in 4K HDR, and if u wanna go crazier then a pc or the other Xbox with true 4K could be better. To me nintendo is all about handbells. I’ve owned pretty much all of them without even realizing. Like u need a handheld and that’s why we have nintendo.
The only thing with the no removable joycons is that of there starts to be drift, that's pretty screwed.
@NestorRamirez you’re not playing 4k hdr with a ps4 pro, ps4 is 1080p and they scale it up to “imitate 4k” its not native 4k content, only the xbox one x plays native 4k and has a 4k blu ray player, if you have a 4k tv and a proper sound system and setup, you’re missing out trust me. Native 4k hdr10 compared to upscaled 1080p. Do the research for yourself
Toronto dude that’s what I said finish reading the comment before you start replying smh
Toronto Plus even if it’s upscale 4K you can’t tell a difference. Specially when playing a little far from tv, u probably could tell a diference in a small monitor though. But not on a tv. So yeah my point it’s still there, if u wanna play on a tv then just get a PS4 pro or an xbone. The switch is a handheld for most people who own it.
We have a family switch but I wanted one for myself. I preordered the switch oled but changed my mind and went for the lite and I’m loving it it feels so much nicer and stronger in the hand even having big hands as I am 6,1 tall I still find the switch lite some comfortable. I think it could be because it’s lighter. I’m hoping eventually they will upgrade the switch lite with an oled display and maybe a system upgrade and some games do struggle a bit. I downloaded doom internal and it’s so much fun. The main reason I got the lite is because I have no intention of docking it.
Finally, a Linus (small hand) friendly console
PEAKEY and I think it has a lanyard so no dropping it.
As someone with VERY tiny hands, thank God!
I really enjoyed 3D on the 3ds personally and since they abandoned it on the switch it actually helps maintain nostalgia value for the 3ds. I feel better about keeping rather than trading it.
same. i have to replace my top screen though. and I was reading forums where people said the 3ds is one of the best gba emulators because the software or something is baked in. so now im turning mine into a emulator
@karson styles if u waited 6 years to get the switch, you may as well wait another year for a new console to come out
It may have hurt my eyes a bit but it looked cool to be honest.
same goes for the double screen format. My 3ds fully replaced my DSi as soon as I got it, but the 3Ds will be timeless as long as Nintendo doesn't release another 2 screen handheld.

If the screen was bigger in the same form factor, and it could dock (even if the dock was sold separate) this would be the perfect little console for me! (Also a huge PC game lover here)
Linus: "I haven't run into anything that was unplayable.."
Ark SE: "Allow me to introduce myself"
oh no not ark!
@Cole ?!?!? How would an SSD being slow make you worse at multiplat shooters?!
i mean everyone plays ark on the switch.
i dont think ill ever survive
*Becomes alarmed when Linus reaches into pants*
wtf
"It's amazing the difference an inch makes."
A switch and pc is the perfect combo for my gaming needs.
Switch Lite or Regular Switch?
Switch would be perfect if it had support for parsec
Android would be perfect if I could play AAA games on it
@@SublimeCS a Cisco switch
@Conor. Graphics are what the PC is for
Joke's on you my phone has a headphone jack.
Same xD
I'm still using wired headphones.
same
same, i wont use bluetooth head sets, already got to damn many things to charge every day, no point in adding to the mix
Same, I'm android

I wanted a Switch in time for lockdown, and since everyone else had the same idea I was restricted to only getting the Switch Lite. I love it, I wish it would dock to my TV, the screen had better resolution and the left analogue stick squeaks a lot these days (and I'm not a heavy user, I'm one of those that doesn't touch it for weeks verging on months then doesn't put it down for three days straight), but that's all I have to say on complaint front!
8:14 The battery is glued in, so it can be difficult to remove without damaging anything

I don't care about the lite. I want a switch pro with a bigger screen and smaller bezels and a more powerful gpu and a better resolution.

keep dreaming.
Not saying it won’t happen, but say this elsewhere and people will tell you yo get a ps4
@@serpentmaster1323 but he said HIGHER resolution not the same lol
Oled screen
If it happens it's at least some years off. A switch pro would result in ports that physically don't work on the weaker versions and neither Nintendo nor the general market wAnt to split the market like that for a while.
That sponsor, why do we need RGB in a chair, what have we done! 😂
FPS++;
Right now they need any sponsorship on the industry and beyond. LLT is getting bigger and bigger every month it passes. TH-cam it's a tough place to maintain a business so, get ready for more of it or that's what i honestly think...
10x fps and 2x less ping.
It makes the chair run faster
Overclocked gaming chair with liquid cooling for the pistons.
6:21 but the switch lite is for portability and for people who don't really play with anyone or play in docked mode so it depends on your preference
I have a switch lite and had it for 6 months. I have never had a large issue with Joy-Con drift, the only time I had it was in Breath of the Wild, but it was easily fixable by just the recalibration system that is built into the switch, which can be accessed in the settings. I have used both consoles before and I prefer the lite because, 1. I use handheld more and the lite is more comfortable in the hand and 2. the cost.
Wait am i the only one that realized where Linus took out the money from at 3:24 ?
Nope mate, was about to say the same thing, I guess instead of putting his money where his mouth is, he put his money where his dongle is.

Cooling Adventures with Alex and Linus: Liquid Metal in the Switch and Switch Lite.
Don't forget water cooling
September 2021...the switch lite and basic switch now support Bluetooth audio headphones.
Was never worth it. High latency, battery drain, etc. Get yourself audiophile quality "ChiFi" IEMs for $45, plug them in, and be transported with higher quality audio than Bluetooth, no recharging necessary.
@@ReclaimerTyphoonsomeone advertising a random product on a TH-cam comment section what a surprise
@@dylanbarreto6529 "ChiFi" isn't a product/a specific thing - it's a category/class of earbuds. Basically, any of the thousands of pretty-good Chinese made IEMs that sound good, but aren't super expensive like other offerings. There's hundreds of brands - this isn't an advertisement, bruh. Chill with the ignorance.
“It’s amazing the difference an inch makes” Linus gets it
In the ass you mean
“is that a Nintendo or are you happy to see me”😂😂😂
Yes.
So I still contend that the Switch Lite was Nintendo's solution to the hacking of the original switch, since the only way to hack it was an exploit in the controller's connection. The fact that Bluetooth (another avenue hackers use to exploit hardware) was removed, from a chipset that includes it, seems to confirm it to me.
They have Bluetooth now enabled. Works flawlessly with my Xbox wireless headset and my AirPods Pro.
As a tech enthusiast I'm shocked NSL can't connect to a TV.
As a parent, I'm glad!! they took the possibility of hooking it up to the TV!
lol. Do you plan on getting a switch lite?
@@blackspiderman1887 Absolutely!
2:40 care to explain why Alex is just writing “POOP” in Mario Maker?
because it’s hilarious
It’s comedy gold man why not?
Do...do you not?
7:34 "As Jonathan Downey discovered"
I've followed Spawn Wave for a year and never knew his full name
Did you just blow up his spot? lol
I was like, who the heck is Jonathan Downey? And then I see Spawn and Im like, wasn't his real name SPAWN?? Ive been lied to. Also, of course it had to be him who loooooves to open stuff
That's quite mindblowing.
I knew it was John but I didn't know the full thing, I'll probably forget it
same here...
When his mother was angry at him when he was a child "Jonathan Spawnwave Downey, come downstairs!"
I never cared about docking it. If I want to play on the big screen I'd rather get on ps4 or pc
Exactly. That’s the reason I got the lite
@@Mr8888X me too got it for chirstmas in 2019
Bruh but what about multiplayer
@@codenamebogdan8050 nothing cares about multiplayer
"It's amazing the difference an inch makes", that's what she said.
Lol ikr
Ahahaha who ever gets it gets it
@@SadielHrz I think everyone gets it
I was scrolling down to the comment section as soon as I heard him say that. 😂
Especially in girth.
i feel like Sony was on to something with the Vita
Too bad Sony decided to keep brushing it under the rug when advertising and game releases.
@@JadeMythriil What killed vita wasn't advertising. It was the decision to make the system overly complex and using a high-priced proprietary memory cards without any in-built storage.
Vita had lot of potential.. but Sony fucked it up and placed all their attention to PS4
@referral madness eh the Sega game gear could arguably be called a success.
@@KoraKoraNya advertising actually was what helped kill it, nobody reallyknew it even existed. But yea the memory cards are definetly a big part
2:37 "poop"
If they would have added a micro-HDMI out at the top center and included a 10-15" cable, you could have just used the console as the controller and it would have been perfect.
i guess you dont know nintendo. they keep this for a future more expensive hardware upgrade
If it had HDMI out I would buy it in a heart beat
*P O O P*
joepassive micro hdmi? Wtf is that?
Sounds like the old Nvidia Shield handheld. Funnily enough, the Tegra tech developed for that is what evolved into what’s in the Switch today.
0:36 Same here.
Since I got a lite, the OG Switch's been collecting dust..
9:59 YES! He said it :)
The Lite indeed IS a GBA successor :-)
*My Switch Lite has been **#drifting** for so long that it already has a Yokohama sponsorship.*
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@Syuna nope that wont work at all
is it just me or does the intro have a very high pitched ringing in the background of the audio
Can't take it
It's totally there, but bearable in my opinion.
definitely is some high pitched sound going on was driving me nuts
Guess im getting old because I cant hear anything
you not the only one
They really went and made an RGB chair.
5:30, thought id mention this, they did a in 2020-2021 i believe add bluetooth headphones, its not something to really be praised for, but its nice they added it to all via updates
