I know I covered the part on the OG Switch if you turn on the Joy Con with no Joy Stick you get auto drift. Is it the same thing with the Lite if you remove the Joy Sticks & see if the character or camera drifts without them?
I have an Idea for a video. If the physical size of the battery is the same as the OG switch you should swap it out and see how long you can game on it until it dies!
@@paintfatpurple7394 you're TOTALLY right who cares if companies are purposefully selling hardware that's faulty. Also Nintendo doesn't fix the drifting issue for free everywhere idiot. Imagine shilling for a company as hard as u right now
@@paintfatpurple7394 Nintendo "fixes" it by replacing it with the same exact defective joystick design. They need to recall every joy con and ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUE PERMANENTLY instead of being cheap.
The fact that the card slot is modular is pretty damn cool, and seems open to a lot of potential. My overall favorite part of it though is easily replaceable, which is great when a system like this is geared towards younger kids, foreign objects being pushed into those seem very likely. Thanks for the amazing breakdown, that was enjoyable to watch!
Can't someone just hook the sticks up to some machine that rapidly spins them non-stop for a day or two, burning through months of regular use an average gamer would put them up to in a matter of hours? We can hypothetically get the answer to the drift question now, waiting half a year or more is not ideal.
@@Diwasho nintendo is in the habitude of doing that kind of test with everything they get out, it seems that a robot is not able to simulate a human completely for this. First, human finger when you play handheld arent clean most of the time. Second, some people that didnt got the problem were using there joystick by placing their thumb on the side and not over them while moving it. (They didnt have drift even after years). If we want a robot, probably we need to talk first to someone that got the problem to make the robot act like it. That way, we will be sure.
Very nice little system.. Personally, I won’t be getting the Lite, but hopefully the people who do will enjoy the system.. Though I’m curious to see if the sticks will drift or at least has been made less susceptible to drifting.. Guess we’ll see..
Thanks for the tear down! They really crammed all the pieces into it with very little wiggle room. Which is a bummer. Was hoping for some voids to be able to work with to add on extra stuff.
Red Ross I think it’s a combo of how rough you are with them and how often you have them undocked. I’ve had mine for that long too but keep them attached most of the time and use two pro controllers otherwise so they never got used enough it would be an issue. Meanwhile a kid who doesn’t play carefully and likely uses the grip controller constantly would more easily get drift
I can see a ‘Pro’ although it won’t be called that, launching latest 2021. But I think they’ll just clock the processor higher, give it a better screen and more RAM, and WiFi 6, and maybe bendable joycons?
Before buying I want to see the inside of the analogue stick... Edit: hmmmm going to the wait and see mode for a couple of months to see if there are drifting issues cropping up or not...
Amazingly comprehensive for having been completed in just one day - not to mention the unboxing on Plus...! You and Evan have absolutely distilled Tech Wave and I consider this the top tier of video game educational video! Thank you thank you!!!
You're not the only one to comment on the d-pad - especially for fighting games. I think it was Austin Plays or something like that who mentioned they weren't happy as it was harder to do special moves in Street Fighter
I just don't think it's feasible to believe that Nintendo had the time to fix the issue from the point that that started manufacturing switch lites to the time the drifting became a huge media coverage type of issue. They were pretty much already done making them when that happened
Poorly designed. Major design flaw in the analog stick. Definitely going to drift. I thought Nintendo designed good consoles and handhelds, not anymore.
The only reason I don’t want it is because of drift, I mean I always buy joycons since I prefer those but with my OG switch I can get new joycons or use a pro controller with a tv, if I’m going to use a normal controller I want it to be big, if I’m holding the switch with joycons then I get to move the switch if I want to get a closer look and if I have a controller I can get a bigger screen to make up for the lack of not being able to move it, I’d be fine if it didn’t drift but this thing will definitely be drifting like my OG joycons soon.
Spawn wave I watch alot of other video games channels and they are all awesome. But I like how you keep your videos interesting and always on top of gaming news. Always relay on your information. 👌👌👌👌 thank you for all the hard work you do for the gaming community
Something you missed on the speaker case. There’s a “tube” going from the top upwards, back down and curved outward. Tubing is a trick used to amplify bass. So it seems the case is a two way case. That’s pretty cool.
I'm impressed with the build quality. It feels very solid, much moreso than my old Switch. I do very much prefer the screen on the original though. I'm trying to decide if I'm keeping the Lite or giving it to my kids, I think I'll give it to them since it seems so much more sturdy and I like the bigger screen. Don't care about hdmi out, we used the old one as a handheld only anyway. This is a glorious day though no matter which one I keep, no more fighting for Switch time with my son! Now if they would only give us a decent way of handling accounts on multiple Switches. The current way fucking sucks, but I've heard that with the release of the lite they're working on a better solution.
Had to get a second one this morning. On the first handheld, holding the left stick down would move the characters slower than the other directions. Thanks for the video. Peace.
So now that you've torn it down, do you think that, like the OG Switch, that companies will start to make replacement shells for this thing? I love my turquoise, but I can see myself wanting to change it later.
@@johnflapper Oh, yeah, I expected it to be a bit more complicated since it's smaller and a single unit... but it still looks much easier to work on than a single joycon, if I'm being honest lol.
@@SonyTrinitron the simpler solution may just be to buy the front shell with a replacement screen already on it, it's not like the lcd is particularly expensive
This week my left analogue stick gave up, makes like a small clicking sound. 10 months they lasted. I now have one set of fully functioning joy con. One set has drift on the left and broke shoulder button on the right. Dogshit.
It's a crapping thing Nintendo did. They should have made new and improved joycons a long time ago (I heard they have new colors, not sure if they changed the analog stick on those though) and set the switch lite to a later date to fix that also. They ignored the issue so long to the point they were sued. My 3ds lasted years before I sold it and it was still in great condition. I want a switch/lite but want to invest in something I know will actually last. They went downhill on those joycons and now possibly the lite. So disappointed.😓
First joy con drift issue got fixed in UK no worries (right analogue). Moved to Indonesia for work, dropped switch and broke shoulder button. Went to Singapore and bought a set of red joy con. Red were later release, thought I dodged the drift batch. Bummed.
Very good Taking Apart vid Jon(SW). The Switch Lite i still think isn't worth getting if you already have a Switch outside of being a Collector or Handheld Gamer or Younger Gamer. No Rumble at all is a bummer and the D-Pad isn't the best for Fighting Games due too the low profile of the D-Pad, makes it inconsistent which is ashame.
Surely there is legal case against Nintendo waiting to happen being they publicly acknowledged they were aware of problems with the analog sticks but decided to sell the switch lite to everyone anyway
A Switch with no detachable Joycon, no. HD rumble, that can't output to TV? Regardless of joystick drift, this was always a rather marginal proposition. It's aimed at people who simply can't afford the main system.
i have an original system, and I have a Xbox One X (GOW 5 edition, first time owning a x1) and PS4 Pro as well as N2DS XL. and last gen (360 and Wii U) systems...and Phone (Galaxy) and desktop PC (Asus All-in-one, 2016 model) among others...including somewhere a Vita Slim collecting dust lol. So at this point I've owned the "OG" (original) Red/blue bundled switch. for about 2 years...and thing is 1) I never cared about IR/HD rumble (hell even during the 4-5th gen of consoles w/ the N64) era...late 90s/early 2000s - I never cared about the rumble pak then (before HD rumble, when it was just....rumble lol) 2) I dont care about the dock (my dock literally sits in a drawer with my X360 and Wii U unhooked collecting dust) no point to sell it, but also no point in using it...as 99% of my gaming on the Switch is indies and platformers (both AAA and indies) and the occasional first party nintendo exclusive (Octopath, Xenoblade, you know Breath of the Wild, etc) ...only BOTW = was the only game that so far I've used the DOCK/TV play for...and even then (220 hours of play) I only put...maybe 100 hours on the dock/TV play (using the default HDMI that comes w/ the system). But all the rest of my gaming...indie, including Binding of isaac (over 1,300 hours lol) among others....i play table-top + Hori table-top stand + the smash bros pro controller (which is like the xenoblade pro controller has the central pivot added underneath the d-pad, to make it a proper dpad, not that I care, cause I dont use d-pad that much, but its nice to have). I used handheld first 9-10 months of owning system...2017 into 2018...then by end of 2018 when the Super Smash Bros Ultimate launched in december along w/ the new pro controller, I got my hands on a copy, and I went straight table-top ever since. and the system sits under my TV (on the TV stand) but only 1 foot from my bed, so I can literally rise out of bed, grab pro controller, push the SLEEP/HOME button andturn system on, and it has the AC adapter plugged directly into system...the dock & HDMI sit in a drawer collecting dust (alongside my last gen X360 and Wii U also unhooked and collecting dust). So basically the switch is a table-top-exclusive-indie-gaming-device. I dont worry about battery life, and/or kick stand (cause it stays on the table-top) and its only 1 foot from my face when I'm sitting upright in bed...I can sit in bed, and game in table-top mode w/ pro controller so its easy... I do however (after owning the system for nearly 2 years) and I have a few other accessories outside of the HORI table top stand and PRo controller, the only other 2 accessories I have are: 200GB Micro SD (SanDisk) which I haven't even begun to fill it up, so memory isn't an issue either)....and lastly I got well its not an accessory its just the NSO (Nintendo Switch Online Service) ...and I didnt get it for the vintage games, I got it solely for the Cloud storage. which I think should have been free, but oh well. $20 isnt much. SO I want a second / cheaper / bang around system that is solely a handheld (for short-travel) here n there (which I do quite often)...I may be the RARITY here, the small % of those who have an OG switch and STILL want the Lite...but I have my reasons...and its not related to "children" whatsoever. I realize thats prob the main reason for owning it...that makes sense...but for me, having a back-up system that you know...is cheaper, bang-around, don't have to baby it "as much" ( still gonna take care of it naturally ) but...the fear of it getting scuffed ...well you know not as big of a deal And its nice that the SATISFYE company (my nephew has the Pro gaming grip along w/ the carrying case) he got last christmas for his regular switch) and they have already unrolled/unveiled a PRO LITE Grip along with a carrying case for the Switch Lite. and its not much $...so its like...I can get the Lite, and now a grip (which will make it an even MORE proper handheld) and a carrying case.... I know the Switch revision (the one w/ the red box-art) has a longer battery life then BOTH the OG switch and Switch lite, I get that...but again - I'm not going on 7-9 hour road trips every week...but I am using a handheld a few times per month, for a few hours (2-3 here, 2-3 there) and the Lite = being a lighter weight, single-body, design...with a PROPER d-pad, and now a Satisfye gaming grip + bundled carrying case (and I've felt/used the original before...so I know what I'm getting into) I dont care about the in-ear-buds, and the shitty thumb-stick attachments, I only want the Pro Grip (the main unit) and the pro carrying case...thats it. And as for the $ aspect...well people are talking about $200 + tax (which here in maryland is 6%) so basically it would be out of store a total of = $211.99 with tax. Well I have 2 gift cards from my birthday (I turned 36 back in March...) and at my age, you don't get fancy gifts, or ...any gifts lol you get a card, with some plastic in it lol which is fine, Visa Gold Pre-paid gift cards...and being...I didn't want anything back in March/April/May and I owned basically all the hardware/software I wanted...and nothing else in my life I could think of...I just held onto both cards (1 is worth $75 even, and the other 2nd card is worth $25 even) neither have been used. So I can walk into a Gamestop, or Best Buy, Target, Walmart Super Center, or the local ma&pa retailer "Gamerz Paradise" (they are a local 1-store retailer only...they are inside an Amish Market, which has numerous vendors/stores) Gamerz Paradise is one of them. they buy/sell/trade games (discs, cartridges, mini discs, any system you can think of going back to the original Atari 2600 to present day Xbox One and PS4 and N. Switch. Not to mention PC physical (from past games) and figures/toys related to gaming and a pokemon TCG (card) selection. Basically anything hobbyist/gaming related. So...I can use these cards anywhere....so $211 (tax included) you might as well knock $100 off the top...your looking at me walking out of the (whatever store) having only paid ALITTLE more then $100 for the system (to be exact basically $111) lol...thats less then the New 2DS XL costs even. I realize not everyone has a gift card or multiple cards ready and waiting, most people dont, but this is why I say..for me...my reasons...its an easy choice. New lighter weight system w/ proper d-pad, and what I'm hearing is "more durable feeling...since its a single body...feels quite nice, and surprising....and even the screen could possibly be a few "nits" brighter (peak brightness) ...mostly everything is the same, minus slight increase to battery life ..which isn't much but STILL...these are minor changes and upgrades..and for what ? a system I can buy for UNDER $150 w/ my gift cards ...$110 - $111 w/ tax for a new system...thats an easy pill to swallow. And of course, something (god forbid, but eventually it does happen to most devices) they brick...my Switch OG is already 2 (almost) years old...another year, another 2 years...a few more thousand hours (possibly) ....who is to say It wont happen anytime...and I take care of it (its never been dropped, or in extreme weather conditions) but still...you just never know...so it would be kinda cool to have something as a backup be it 1 year, or 2 years or whatever...of course the only issue / stick in my plans...(spokes) ...is if Nintendo unveils / announces in (sometime 2020) a "Switch XL Pro" or "Switch XL" variant of some sort....lol I can see it now....eh...but then I would prob just sell my OG switch, get whatever I can back from that...and IF its worth it, then I'll get the new[er] switch. Thats all, quite simple. But I can completely understand someone not wanting the Lite, or having 0 interest..esp if they already own a version of the system (the OG switch or the recent revision/red boxed system) thats fine, no hate here - not trying to convince anyone or anything. I just think the Lite may have more then "1" reason to buy, thats all
@@sordel5866 actually its aimed at people who only want it as a compact handheld. im sure there are many out there that can afford the extra $100 but dont want to
Im just going to get the carry case for the Switch Lite so I can put it away when I'm not using it. That way, it will reduce the chance of dust getting under the analog stick.
Same here. She plays our Switch constantly, same as if it was already a Lite. Preordered the special edition, then i get to play my actual Switch finally
You watched the video, right? You saw him take out the sticks semi-easily, right? You do know the sticks cost less than 10 bucks on ebay, RIGHT? Why would you say you would have to get a whole new system? Even if you did, because you weren't confident enough to fix it yourself, nintendo covers it under warranty! Think before you say something stupid.
@@timetravelingoldman6839 they literally just mentioned that the issue can be fixed easily with way less money where did they mention that its okay? They simply said that noone has to disgard the system
@@mobious01 I know that people shouldn't have to fix this. Nintendo really did a bad with this one. I do not backup nintendo in anyway, but the guy I replied to was overreacting. That's all I did. Please don't put words in my mouth.
The OG Switch has the cooling set up in the same way, only one of the vents is in the path of the fan, and as well as that, the dock has the dock electronics and plastic housing on one side blocking most of the air flow (and the dock electronics produce some additional heat making warm air get drawn in on that side), I guess the second vent isn't needed and they just wanted to make it symmetric.
7:17 the reason it's encased is because a ported box will enhance the sound quality and loudness, just like bookshelf speakers sound worse when you take the woofer out of the box and it plays free-air
I would wait for a new color to be released. The current lineup isn’t really that exciting in my opinion. Maybe a GC/GBA indigo, a NES/Famicom or SNES/Super Famicom. Maybe some transparent colors like the old GBs and the 2DS.
Amazing! Simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g! That's why you're my favorite content creator. Gets me to wonder if you're the real life Tony Stark. Keep up the good work! And enjoy Link's Awakening now! You've earned it. Lol.
I think one should consider while the material is similar there is a likelihood they may have made slight revisions to the manufacturing process to reduce wear in order to reduce the odds of drift
The Switch Lite is a pretty cool little system. Time will tell if these Joysticks end up drifting later on. The DPAD is great though for Tetris!
I know I covered the part on the OG Switch if you turn on the Joy Con with no Joy Stick you get auto drift.
Is it the same thing with the Lite if you remove the Joy Sticks & see if the character or camera drifts without them?
Solo Nepeon They might have improved the durability of it.
I have an Idea for a video. If the physical size of the battery is the same as the OG switch you should swap it out and see how long you can game on it until it dies!
@@NintenDub the old battery capacity is bigger in the normal switch so it should last longer.
Spawn Wave wait you got a 2nd channel never knew this
It's time for everyone's favourite game show: "Can It Drift?!"
Any joystick can drift. You should change that to will it drift
DEJA VU!!! I'VE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE!!!!
Yeah I'd with you there JoshuaHam. Can It Drift instead of Well It Drift.
more like how long until it drifts

Most of the rumors and cases said several months only, by animal crossing launch, we should be fixed on the issue

1st yr release to the Switch I got the drifts going so that early I think they knew.
The only reason I don’t want it is because of drift, I mean I always buy joycons since I prefer those but with my OG switch I can get new joycons or use a pro controller with a tv, if I’m going to use a normal controller I want it to be big, if I’m holding the switch with joycons then I get to move the switch if I want to get a closer look and if I have a controller I can get a bigger screen to make up for the lack of not being able to move it, I’d be fine if it didn’t drift but this thing will definitely be drifting like my OG joycons soon.

I think it was Gamexplain that had an issue the dpad for fighting games so you’re probably right
I think they made the d pad this way is because the regular switch only has the four buttons of movement isnt of a d pad

Damn I hope that they improved tbe sticks because 2 of my joycons have had stick drift and you saying its the same is bad news bears :/
I've been waiting for this video. :)
Love these tech tear downs!
Thanks Spawnwave, saved me $200 bucks with the same sticks it’s a no sale. Thank you! To quote Nintendo, “Just keeeeep drifting!”
😂😂
Crybaby
It doesn't have joycons.
It's one solid system.
Do you mean analog sticks?
Doesn't have joycons
Victor De Los Santos same sticks. I’ll fix it. Unlike Nintendo.... well actually they will be won’t they?
I want to buy a switch but the joy cons drift concern me a lot
@@just-justiin why the fuck would you do that?
I’ve been waiting for this!
Hi. I got the grey as well. It'll go well with any grip case I'll be buying.
Dammit Nintendo you had one job
What did they do wrong?
Innocent till proven guilty
@@doodlebob3374 here you are again
Doodle Bob made dodgy drifting joycons
Sheesh the CPU is even smaller on the Switch Lite. The chip packs some serious punch!
ChariotManGaming Same chip as the one in the newer revision switch.
Cool video and interesting thanks!
Fascinating as always ❤️
Im gonna wait for news on drift or not. Im NOT wasting my money on this if it does.
Corey Mckee Oh yeah, same here. That would be the smartest thing to do.
If you’ve already got a switch you shouldn’t be wasting your money anyway…
Just get the original switch 😑
yes I try fighting games and the d pad sucks.
Had to get a second one this morning. On the first handheld, holding the left stick down would move the characters slower than the other directions. Thanks for the video. Peace.
Same joy con’s?? That kills it for me. Thanks for video
So now that you've torn it down, do you think that, like the OG Switch, that companies will start to make replacement shells for this thing? I love my turquoise, but I can see myself wanting to change it later.
They probably still will, but it looks a LOT worse to work on than before
@@johnflapper Oh, yeah, I expected it to be a bit more complicated since it's smaller and a single unit... but it still looks much easier to work on than a single joycon, if I'm being honest lol.
@@SonyTrinitron all but the front piece. The screen is literally fused to it. So maybe you can do the back and the buttons, but that's about it
@@johnflapper I had noticed that none of the teardowna so far have removed the screen.. Wonder how hard it is to pry off?
@@SonyTrinitron the simpler solution may just be to buy the front shell with a replacement screen already on it, it's not like the lcd is particularly expensive
This week my left analogue stick gave up, makes like a small clicking sound. 10 months they lasted. I now have one set of fully functioning joy con. One set has drift on the left and broke shoulder button on the right. Dogshit.
Send them in to nintendo. Repairs if ur in US wont cost you anything.
It's a crapping thing Nintendo did. They should have made new and improved joycons a long time ago (I heard they have new colors, not sure if they changed the analog stick on those though) and set the switch lite to a later date to fix that also. They ignored the issue so long to the point they were sued.
My 3ds lasted years before I sold it and it was still in great condition. I want a switch/lite but want to invest in something I know will actually last.
They went downhill on those joycons and now possibly the lite. So disappointed.😓
First joy con drift issue got fixed in UK no worries (right analogue). Moved to Indonesia for work, dropped switch and broke shoulder button. Went to Singapore and bought a set of red joy con. Red were later release, thought I dodged the drift batch. Bummed.
@@jessiem9960
Use it properly and it won't drift the people having problems have abused the shit out of them
@@doodlebob3374 excuse me but i dont abuse anything i own. U should research before spouting nonsense.
I love when you do these vids👍
Very good Taking Apart vid Jon(SW). The Switch Lite i still think isn't worth getting if you already have a Switch outside of being a Collector or Handheld Gamer or Younger Gamer. No Rumble at all is a bummer and the D-Pad isn't the best for Fighting Games due too the low profile of the D-Pad, makes it inconsistent which is ashame.
Why can’t the switch lite have the same button layout as the wiiU ? I mean there’s no joycon anymore so why not ?
It hasn't even been a full day and already he's taking it apart. What a madlad.
Thanks for the teardown! Looks like if I have a friend who has drifting issues with an analog sensor, I can repair it for them.
that's a transmission line speaker enclosure not to just to direct the sound but makes the output louder
Surely there is legal case against Nintendo waiting to happen being they publicly acknowledged they were aware of problems with the analog sticks but decided to sell the switch lite to everyone anyway
If analog is the same. For me it's waste of money
A Switch with no detachable Joycon, no. HD rumble, that can't output to TV? Regardless of joystick drift, this was always a rather marginal proposition. It's aimed at people who simply can't afford the main system.
Thats why im keeping my OG Switch i see no reson to "downgrade"
That is my biggest concern about buying it
i have an original system, and I have a Xbox One X (GOW 5 edition, first time owning a x1) and PS4 Pro as well as N2DS XL. and last gen (360 and Wii U) systems...and Phone (Galaxy) and desktop PC (Asus All-in-one, 2016 model) among others...including somewhere a Vita Slim collecting dust lol.
So at this point I've owned the "OG" (original) Red/blue bundled switch. for about 2 years...and thing is
1) I never cared about IR/HD rumble (hell even during the 4-5th gen of consoles w/ the N64) era...late 90s/early 2000s - I never cared about the rumble pak then (before HD rumble, when it was just....rumble lol)
2) I dont care about the dock (my dock literally sits in a drawer with my X360 and Wii U unhooked collecting dust) no point to sell it, but also no point in using it...as 99% of my gaming on the Switch is indies and platformers (both AAA and indies) and the occasional first party nintendo exclusive (Octopath, Xenoblade, you know Breath of the Wild, etc) ...only BOTW = was the only game that so far I've used the DOCK/TV play for...and even then (220 hours of play) I only put...maybe 100 hours on the dock/TV play (using the default HDMI that comes w/ the system). But all the rest of my gaming...indie, including Binding of isaac (over 1,300 hours lol) among others....i play table-top + Hori table-top stand + the smash bros pro controller (which is like the xenoblade pro controller has the central pivot added underneath the d-pad, to make it a proper dpad, not that I care, cause I dont use d-pad that much, but its nice to have).
I used handheld first 9-10 months of owning system...2017 into 2018...then by end of 2018 when the Super Smash Bros Ultimate launched in december along w/ the new pro controller, I got my hands on a copy, and I went straight table-top ever since. and the system sits under my TV (on the TV stand) but only 1 foot from my bed, so I can literally rise out of bed, grab pro controller, push the SLEEP/HOME button andturn system on, and it has the AC adapter plugged directly into system...the dock & HDMI sit in a drawer collecting dust (alongside my last gen X360 and Wii U also unhooked and collecting dust). So basically the switch is a table-top-exclusive-indie-gaming-device. I dont worry about battery life, and/or kick stand (cause it stays on the table-top) and its only 1 foot from my face when I'm sitting upright in bed...I can sit in bed, and game in table-top mode w/ pro controller so its easy...
I do however (after owning the system for nearly 2 years) and I have a few other accessories outside of the HORI table top stand and PRo controller, the only other 2 accessories I have are: 200GB Micro SD (SanDisk) which I haven't even begun to fill it up, so memory isn't an issue either)....and lastly I got well its not an accessory its just the NSO (Nintendo Switch Online Service) ...and I didnt get it for the vintage games, I got it solely for the Cloud storage. which I think should have been free, but oh well.
$20 isnt much.
SO I want a second / cheaper / bang around system that is solely a handheld (for short-travel) here n there (which I do quite often)...I may be the RARITY here, the small % of those who have an OG switch and STILL want the Lite...but I have my reasons...and its not related to "children" whatsoever.
I realize thats prob the main reason for owning it...that makes sense...but for me, having a back-up system that you know...is cheaper, bang-around, don't have to baby it "as much" ( still gonna take care of it naturally ) but...the fear of it getting scuffed ...well you know not as big of a deal
And its nice that the SATISFYE company (my nephew has the Pro gaming grip along w/ the carrying case) he got last christmas for his regular switch) and they have already unrolled/unveiled a PRO LITE Grip along with a carrying case for the Switch Lite.
and its not much $...so its like...I can get the Lite, and now a grip (which will make it an even MORE proper handheld) and a carrying case....
I know the Switch revision (the one w/ the red box-art) has a longer battery life then BOTH the OG switch and Switch lite, I get that...but again - I'm not going on 7-9 hour road trips every week...but I am using a handheld a few times per month, for a few hours (2-3 here, 2-3 there) and the Lite = being a lighter weight, single-body, design...with a PROPER d-pad, and now a Satisfye gaming grip + bundled carrying case (and I've felt/used the original before...so I know what I'm getting into) I dont care about the in-ear-buds, and the shitty thumb-stick attachments, I only want the Pro Grip (the main unit) and the pro carrying case...thats it.
And as for the $ aspect...well people are talking about $200 + tax (which here in maryland is 6%) so basically it would be out of store a total of = $211.99 with tax.
Well I have 2 gift cards from my birthday (I turned 36 back in March...) and at my age, you don't get fancy gifts, or ...any gifts lol you get a card, with some plastic in it lol which is fine, Visa Gold Pre-paid gift cards...and being...I didn't want anything back in March/April/May and I owned basically all the hardware/software I wanted...and nothing else in my life I could think of...I just held onto both cards (1 is worth $75 even, and the other 2nd card is worth $25 even) neither have been used. So I can walk into a Gamestop, or Best Buy, Target, Walmart Super Center, or the local ma&pa retailer "Gamerz Paradise" (they are a local 1-store retailer only...they are inside an Amish Market, which has numerous vendors/stores) Gamerz Paradise is one of them. they buy/sell/trade games (discs, cartridges, mini discs, any system you can think of going back to the original Atari 2600 to present day Xbox One and PS4 and N. Switch. Not to mention PC physical (from past games) and figures/toys related to gaming and a pokemon TCG (card) selection. Basically anything hobbyist/gaming related. So...I can use these cards anywhere....so $211 (tax included) you might as well knock $100 off the top...your looking at me walking out of the (whatever store) having only paid ALITTLE more then $100 for the system (to be exact basically $111) lol...thats less then the New 2DS XL costs even. I realize not everyone has a gift card or multiple cards ready and waiting, most people dont, but this is why I say..for me...my reasons...its an easy choice. New lighter weight system w/ proper d-pad, and what I'm hearing is "more durable feeling...since its a single body...feels quite nice, and surprising....and even the screen could possibly be a few "nits" brighter (peak brightness) ...mostly everything is the same, minus slight increase to battery life ..which isn't much but STILL...these are minor changes and upgrades..and for what ? a system I can buy for UNDER $150 w/ my gift cards ...$110 - $111 w/ tax for a new system...thats an easy pill to swallow.
And of course, something (god forbid, but eventually it does happen to most devices) they brick...my Switch OG is already 2 (almost) years old...another year, another 2 years...a few more thousand hours (possibly) ....who is to say It wont happen anytime...and I take care of it (its never been dropped, or in extreme weather conditions) but still...you just never know...so it would be kinda cool to have something as a backup be it 1 year, or 2 years or whatever...of course the only issue / stick in my plans...(spokes) ...is if Nintendo unveils / announces in (sometime 2020) a "Switch XL Pro" or "Switch XL" variant of some sort....lol I can see it now....eh...but then I would prob just sell my OG switch, get whatever I can back from that...and IF its worth it, then I'll get the new[er] switch.
Thats all, quite simple.
But I can completely understand someone not wanting the Lite, or having 0 interest..esp if they already own a version of the system (the OG switch or the recent revision/red boxed system) thats fine, no hate here - not trying to convince anyone or anything. I just think the Lite may have more then "1" reason to buy, thats all
@@sordel5866 actually its aimed at people who only want it as a compact handheld. im sure there are many out there that can afford the extra $100 but dont want to
Love that he buys a second Switch Lite just for the teardown. This is why I subscribed.
Im just going to get the carry case for the Switch Lite so I can put it away when I'm not using it. That way, it will reduce the chance of dust getting under the analog stick.
Hopefully the analog will not drift as easy as a joycon.
I hope so too
I hope so too. I haven’t had problems though.
They should have used rollers instead of scratch-able graphite in the analog sticks
I'm sure they've tried and that was the best they could come up with
MrHamerbush Then they need to try again
It all fits together so neatly :o
Interesting about the Innolux panel. I've found in practise it actually looks REALLY good
Once I have enough money I want to get one for my wife. It's a nice alternative.
Same here. She plays our Switch constantly, same as if it was already a Lite. Preordered the special edition, then i get to play my actual Switch finally
Me too. My girlfriend loves Minecraft and things like that and is always playing mine lol
same here bro, will wait for the animal crossing edition, wifey looves that game to death.
Same here
So it's another "Tokyo Drift" version, but you cannot replace joycons this time. You have to discard the whole system. Nice.
You watched the video, right? You saw him take out the sticks semi-easily, right? You do know the sticks cost less than 10 bucks on ebay, RIGHT? Why would you say you would have to get a whole new system? Even if you did, because you weren't confident enough to fix it yourself, nintendo covers it under warranty! Think before you say something stupid.
@@timetravelingoldman6839 they literally just mentioned that the issue can be fixed easily with way less money where did they mention that its okay? They simply said that noone has to disgard the system
Mr. Aizawa and you are aware nintendo should have fixed this right? There shouldn’t be a need for people to try to fix such an issue
@@mobious01 I know that people shouldn't have to fix this. Nintendo really did a bad with this one. I do not backup nintendo in anyway, but the guy I replied to was overreacting. That's all I did. Please don't put words in my mouth.
I definitely plan to pick one up, as it will be great for travel. Will be a secondary system only, though.
The OG Switch has the cooling set up in the same way, only one of the vents is in the path of the fan, and as well as that, the dock has the dock electronics and plastic housing on one side blocking most of the air flow (and the dock electronics produce some additional heat making warm air get drawn in on that side), I guess the second vent isn't needed and they just wanted to make it symmetric.
Came here for 11:20, Im a sad panda.
U should try putting a new switch chip in the switch lite that'd be epic and solve docking issue, you'd have the ultimate switch
Don't think it works that way
@@RhythmGrizz yeah lol
RhythmGrizz that’s like deciding you’re going to put the graphics chip from a PC into a phone
🤦♂️
7:17 the reason it's encased is because a ported box will enhance the sound quality and loudness, just like bookshelf speakers sound worse when you take the woofer out of the box and it plays free-air
Speakers with bass reflex pretty impressive.
Can the switch lite be modified to output to TV ? Answer: That switch does not exist on the switch lite mother board.17:07
Thanks!
Still unclear if the drift is resolved. Fortunately it hasn't afflicted me too much. Lite looks cool though might pick one up....but which color??
Jacob Jordan I like the turquoise color
@@thedude1072 yea. That or the grey
I would wait for a new color to be released. The current lineup isn’t really that exciting in my opinion. Maybe a GC/GBA indigo, a NES/Famicom or SNES/Super Famicom. Maybe some transparent colors like the old GBs and the 2DS.
@@no_4259 oh if they announce an automatic purple (classic gba) I'm buying day one lol

Amazing! Simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g! That's why you're my favorite content creator. Gets me to wonder if you're the real life Tony Stark. Keep up the good work! And enjoy Link's Awakening now! You've earned it. Lol.
I think one should consider while the material is similar there is a likelihood they may have made slight revisions to the manufacturing process to reduce wear in order to reduce the odds of drift
