Nintendo Switch Lite

[...] I know 3+ Switches sound like a lot, but Nintendo was pushing the Switch Lite like the latest Gameboy. [...]

[...] Have you ever tried to get 5 hours of battery life with a Steam deck? [...] I'll still give the point to Nintendo because they prioritize battery life so much more, but if you aren't running the SD at full tilt with a large 3D game, it can get decent battery life. [...] (I do have big pockets, but at least with the Switch Lite, it's possible.) I would love a Steam Deck Lite or something. That's probably the biggest reason I keep my Switch Lite: it's easy to just toss in a bag on a whim while the SD (and other Switches) require planning to actually use them. [...]

[...] That was something that a lot of people talked about when the Switch Lite came out. [...] But there have been times (especially when flying) that I have used them detached when not docked. [...]

How is the Switch overpriced and underpowered? I picked up a switch lite with a game as a bundle for my wife for £180 brand new. [...] But those features and the built-in screen are ones that literally no other games console had at the time and is only just starting to gain popularity in the handheld PC market recently. [...] Delaying the release of these games to add dev time for a PC port is never going to be worth it.

[...] Granted, I'm playing Skyrim and Portal 2 on Switch Lite so I can't see them on the TV and compare them at the same size as the PS3 versions of those games, but Skyrim at least seems to suffer much less lag and visual glitching than the PS3 version. [...]

I've been playing Skyrim and Portal 2 on the Switch Lite and it keeps amazing me that games that my PS3 struggled with are now perfectly playable on a handheld device that has pretty good battery life and doesn't burn my hand. A device like this would have blown my mind 10 or 15 years ago (even more than the original PSP did the first time I saw one).

[...] The Nintendo Switch Lite Charging Stand is finished. [...] It also has a slot in it for a charge cable. [...] I've used the first available bolt to hold it.

[...] I recently picked up a banned Nintendo Switch Lite for cheap -- meaning it can't download games or updates off Nintendo's servers, but it can still play cartridge games. And while most games function, there are more often than not critical fixes or significant content updates missing. [...] Nobody will be seriously affected right now, as long as Sony's update servers are up and both digital and physical are supported. But 10, 20 years from now, both from a game preservation standpoint and from a consumer protection standpoint, this will be disastrous, when many games will still be charging outrageous prices (without the soft check of reselling/trading) or even no longer exist.

[...] The switch screen (i have the original switch) is too tiny, and it's a very heavy console. Switch lites have even smaller screens, but they weigh much less - it is possible the controllers i use undocked are just heavier, but either way. The steam deck has a higher resolution screen, and i'm sure some devices have greater than FHD resolution with greater than 60FPS "refresh". [...]

August 2020 - This twas where I got a Nintendo Switch Lite w/Shovel Knight. Shovel Knight is literally the reason why I have a switch, tbh.

I can’t find my Nintendo switch lite tha I’ve turned on maybe 5 times since 2021…. I was gonna charge it but… nevermind… i only have 635 sqft… not a lot of places for a yellow digital device larger than my phone to be…

I'm selling the Nintendo Switch Lite that SpaceDips, my assaulter, bought me 5 years ago. [...] The complicated feelings I've had about them are finally lifting off me. [...]

[...] Untold thousands from my wallet to their pockets over the last 30 years. NES on up, we've had every console except the virtual boy and specific iterations of mobile consoles (e.g switch but not switch lite). 512gb sd in the switch to fit all the games I bought on it. [...]

[...] I'm partial to the RG35XX SP's clam shell form-factor, but other people like the RG35XX Plus that's akin to a gameboy color layout (but smaller) or the RG35XX H that's similar to a nintendo switch lite layout, including joysticks (but smaller). [...]

[...] I own both a Switch and a Steam Deck, and the Steam Deck won't even fit in the oversized pockets of cargo shorts. [...] I guess you could argue that's the Switch Lite, but I still feel a little betrayed to not get a smaller next-gen handheld. [...]

[...] Have you ever tried to get 5 hours of battery life with a Steam deck? [...] (I do have big pockets, but at least with the Switch Lite, it's possible.) Nintendo will be just fine. [...]

[...] I've had the opposite experience with my Retroid Pocket 3+ (think Nintendo Switch Lite, but running Android). [...]

Ive always been a nintendo ds/3ds freak because they were portable and were the consoles I owned first... now i think im starting to get a hyperfixation on the Nintendo Switch Lite, love it so much its crazy im glad you exist babygirl

Re-shelled my Switch Lite, i've had the replacement case for a very long time, finally decided to do something fun for myself so I've spent the last two days getting this nice and pretty. Looks super cute in person!

I bought a nintendo switch lite precisely for that game and because of this plotting and ui set up for giant screen i did not enjoy it.

A couple of weeks ago, I dug out my old Nintendo DS Lite which I bought back in... [...] I had a lot of fun with Mario Bros, so earlier this month, I bought myself a Nintendo Switch Lite. [...]

[...] So I got the Zelda Nintendo Switch Lite, Pearl DualSense Controller, & a Pokemon carrying case, all under $300.

[...] :P that's fair, I call my switch lite a playstation 7. [...]

How do Switch users feel about the joycons? I'm not a gamer, but the original Switch joycons always struck me as overly complicated and expensive. It should be cheaper to manufacture and sell Switches with the controllers attached. Indeed, this is what they did with the Switch Lite. For games that take advantage of joycon functionality, Nintendo could have sold something like an updated Switch version of the Wiimote as an optional accessory. Do users who are happy with their Nintendo Switch have a favorable opinion of the joycons, or would you be happy without them?

[...] I don’t feel like the Switch Lite was actually small enough to justify as a companion to the full-sized Switch. [...]
