Switch Lite in 2024 - worth it? (Review)

The Nintendo Switch Lite released in 2019, and still stands today as the cheapest Switch available at $200- providing the ultimate portable experience in exchange for the actual "switching". Is it still worth buying in 2024 with the Switch 2 on the horizon?

The Nintendo Switch Lite currently stands as what I would consider the best value Switch available- at least until the Switch 2 finally drops. For $200, it's hard to beat- and I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo keeps it around at that same price tag even after the Switch 2 releases. But what about you, anyone have the Switch Lite? How do you like it, is it worth it in 2024?

[@vinnydarrc3953]

Yea I’ve had a few different switches over its lifespan. Just recently scooped a LTE, for me personally it was a no brainer. I already had over a hundred games waiting. GG

[@TeamDaemon1980]

*Switch* *Lite* Picked up another turquoise Switch Lite the other night from OfferUp in brand new condition for $130. Loving it again! But this better be my last time. This is the fourth Switch Lite I bought. Broke the previous two turquoises and didn’t like the coral. I feel like John Wayne in that I Love Lucy episode that had to keep making those footprints on wet cement. I think Switch Lite has become my most *rebought* gadget of all-time. But it’s my absolute favorite form factor of the Switch. Let’s see if fourth time’s the charm. And this is my third turquoise Lite which could be third time’s the turquoise charm. I’m still mad at myself for messing up the previous Lite I had. I will not make the same mistakes again. I’ll use my SN30 Pro so the left stick will not wear out after 7 months like it did with my first Lite. And I plan to always use the velcro strap when it’s inside the case. No more accidental falls when I forget that the zipper is open and then watch it crashing to the floor resulting in a hairline crack on the screen. Maybe I’ll get the Switch OLED again but I’m content with only owning the Lite. I just couldn’t tolerate the weight and width of the OLED. And I miss how sharp the graphics looks on the Lite thanks to the smaller screen but higher ppi. I miss the real d-pad too. Only thing to tolerate with my new Lite is the worse battery life. I only had the OLED for 6 days but it definitely had noticeably better battery life. If I got an OLED again and many do go for $250 or less on OfferUp considering the sellers know the Switch 2 is coming, then I would need to deregister my Lite as the primary console. That gets annoying. I would always need to have an Internet connection for a moment to play my games because it’s no longer the primary. Might as well wait for the Switch 2 instead of getting another OLED. I think when buying a handheld, I believe comfort is the most important thing to me and then battery life considering I don’t game for hours like before. Probably why I would go for the Retroid Pocket 4 over the Odin 2. True, it’s weaker. Worse battery life. But it’s cheaper by $100 and it’s smaller and more pocketable. Smaller, lighter, and cheaper are the key factors when purchasing a handheld for me. Size, weight, and hand comfort are all important for me. They’re called handhelds for a reason. You want your hands to feel comfortable when holding it. I don’t want to return to the days carrying bricks like the Game Gear and Atari Lynx. I’ll likely wait for the Switch Lite 2 by 2026. North American releases - DS: 2004 DS Lite: 2006 PSP: 2005 PSP slim: 2007 PS Vita: 2012 PS Vita slim: 2014 Switch: 2017 Switch Lite: 2019 Switch 2: 2024? Switch 2 Lite: 2026? Wait every two years. There will probably be a smaller PS Portal too which will include Bluetooth. With bigger consoles, it’s waiting three years (2006->2009, 2013->2016, 2020->2023) although PS5 slim is not that much smaller. We have these large smartphones already including foldables that weigh over 250g. Now you want to carry another brick for gaming? The PSP 2K and the PS Vita 2K models remain the most comfortable handhelds I’ve ever owned. It’s why I still own them and planning not to sell them. Weight - PSP: 280g PSP slim: *189g* PS Vita: 260g PS Vita slim: *219g* PS Portal: 529g Switch: 398g Switch Lite: *277g* Switch OLED: 420g Pimax Portal Retro: 306g Odin 2: 420g Anbernic RG405M: 260g Retroid Pocket 3+: 235g Retroid Pocket 4/4 Pro: 251g Steam Deck: 669g Steam Deck OLED: 640g So the Odin 2 is as heavy as the Switch OLED with the Joy-Con attached? I did get used to using the OLED but I still got wrist fatigue after 20 minutes. Not exactly the best size and weight while sitting on a toilet 🚽. I think my max weight for any handheld is no heavier than the Switch Lite but no taller and wider than the Vita. Steam Deck OLED is the best handheld out there but I’m torn if I really want a PC handheld or not. I really couldn’t tolerate the Switch OLED size, now imagine the Steam Deck? Then I’d play Red Dead Redemption at 30 fps on my Lite and start to think how much better the sequel looks on the more powerful Deck. I can barely hear what they’re saying in RDR because the Switch Lite’s speakers are so soft. Still waiting for that Switch 2 announcement. I still kept the slim case for the OLED and I’m hoping the Switch 2 (or Switch 2 Lite) can someday fit in it and be of similar size but be much lighter and thinner. This likely wins out for me thanks to the many Nintendo exclusives. I wish there was a Chinese handheld that looks like the RG405M but lighter and still have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

yesss and if anyone want cheaper price dont buy directly from switch store, rather try to find retailer at ur local shop because sometimes its 20-30$ USD cheaper compare to original price. as for game, first party game: go for physical, its ALWAYS going to be cheaper from eshop. meanwhile for third party game: go for eshop since these game always on huge discount.

Anyone thinking of a Switch Lite in 2024 is in for a treat. Some fantastic deals on used systems, typically advertised as very little use (the reason for the sale in the first place) It’s the best way to play Nintendo games on the go. Add a Satisfye grip and case for a better experience and have fun.

The thing is if you want to play anything other than the f2p games on it, you'd have to pay quite a bit for each game.

If anyone is considering getting this model, definitely pick up a silicone grip/cover. Just makes holding it so much more comfortable and then get a slightly bulkier case so you can put that with the cover in.

[@revansecofreak394]

Good advice! Thanks

[@vinnydarrc3953]

Add: screen protector.

[@syd417]

​@@vinnydarrc3953 the switch lite comes with a screen protector already on it. I found that out after buying screen protector(s) to go on mine and noticed how thick the screen was. 😂🤦‍♀️I said "There's already a screen protector on it." My dad had been watching me struggle to try to put the first two on without collecting hair and dust under the cover (which I failed miserably at). I then noticed that the screen protector provided was crooked (probably my fault from trying to straighten the screen protectors on top of the one that already existed 🤦‍♀️). My dad said "pay attention. Now leave that one alone." So what did I do? Because I'm a perfectionist, I took the screen protector (that it came with) off. It has a pretty sturdy build and it's geared towards a younger audience, who tend to drop their devices more.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

I have had the lite for a few years now and am overall happy with it. I have been thinking of upgrading to the OLED but at this point, as long as it's backward compatible, i might as well just wait until the switch 2.

[@Dairunt1]

If Switch 2 is around the size of a Switch OLED, I hope they make an updated Switch Lite; hopefully being slightly smaller so it easily fits in your pocket (Lite has a lot of bezel, so making it smaller wouldn't necessarily mean shrinking the screen down). I wouldn't want pocketable handhelds to be extinct.

[@tydshiin5783]

While I do like smaller handhelds that can be in my pocket, I'd be against that The screen itself is already quite small for what games you play, I'd rather they make use of the whole bezel space, but also it kinda feels bad to play for long if too small too

[@israelruiz8706]

You know they will. The point of the switch lite is to give people a more affordable option and it's usually for the casuals. I got one because I was low on the funds back in 2021and still use it to this day. I would like a switch oled but at this point I rather spend the money on a the switch 2. I rarely console game so it was enticing to me

[@AlexGamingConsole]

It's bigger. Switch 2 is 8 inch screen

[@AlexGamingConsole]

All the information regarding the switch 2 including full specs have been out for awhile now.

[@viperomen914]

My ideal upgrade for the switch lite would be Oled screen and use the thick bezel as more screen so it can be just a tad bigger, and better battery life never hurts👀

[@jseden]

I bought a lite over summer 23.. my thoughts, I only really wanted a handheld and figured there was something new coming sooner than later. This would also be my first console since GB advance sp and I wasn’t sure how much use it would even get as I mostly bought it for one game. I still use it often and am happy with my choice.

[@meljoe13]

In my opinion, the last mayor update from one home console to another for Nintendo was the Game Cube. Ever since every new console is the previous one with more extras. Wii = Game Cube with motion controls Wii U = Wii in HD Switch = Wii U portable with a Dock

[@DarkExternalHeart]

That's..... super reductive lol. Calling Wii a gamecube with motion control literally miss the whole point of the console IS the motion controller.... If you want to call 3DS as DS with 3D gimmick then that's okay, but the whole Wii library is games for motion controller....

[@NehemYah810]

If they’d redone the lite with an oled display I would LOVE it,but since it’s a pretty low quality LCD I prefer my oled.

Can I get any of your opinions? I'm thinking of buying a Switch Lite in the coming weeks. I tend to like games that I can pick up for 30 minutes then put down. Think Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country or any puzzle game. Eg something to play while on a flight. Am I making the right decision with a Switch Lite?

The issue with the Switch lite is that they did not make it a clam shell design for optimal handheld design. With the tablet design u need to re angle the entire unit instead of just the screen like on the DS. And it helps so much with portability if u could just fold it and toss it into your backpack without worrying about scratching your display.

I believe in 2019 the Lite, V2, and later the OLED all got an upgraded processor (that was downclocked for better battery life) and while docked, you could make it be a little bit more powerful (or efficient) than the 2017 OG model.

4:46 Yes the Wii U was a very different console and did not sell well. It makes sense, that the Switch does not have backwards compatability with it (where would you even fit the disc haha). But what about the 3DS ... the Switch is also a successor to the (3)DS line and unlike the Wii U, the 3DS sold well (enough) and also had cartridges. Are the internals very different? Ok ... but the Switch has such a higher power level compared to the 3DS, that it could easily have powered a translation layer or an emulation. Maybe to much time has passed and there is something / some reason I missed, that my memory has lost to the inevitable fading of time. But this question has come up again and again recently in my mind. Also ... Sorry, that this comment is not directly related to the video topic.

Everything about the switch 2 is just a rumor at the moment. Literally, nothing has been confirmed. I read somewhere, that if you keep thinking about "what if", you will have a rough ride. Wgat we do know for sure is that the nintendo switch is available now. Sure, it seems possible we get a successor, but who knows what is certain.

[@pitohui4748]

I sold my normal switch and only kept my switch lite. Being more of a pc gamer i only ever use the switch while traveling or on the go so the lite is just better for me... sure it doesn't have the oled screen, but it's just easier to bring along. I think deciding between the models is just a question of what you will use it for. If you wanna couch game or invite some friends over for smash bros get a proper switch... If you just want a cheap(ish) handheld to use on the go the lite is superior in terms of size, weight and just general portability.

[@copingflower1909]

I was surprised how many people are mixed on the Lite since I see it as a great addition since its a whole 100 dollars cheaper then the base Switch, sure you lose the ability to Switch from handheld to Tv, but if you really want a Switch and need the money for other things, or to simply buy at least 1 game with your tight budget, I'd 100% say its worth it

Yes. I've had mine for over two months now and I can safely say that it is worth it for the lower middle class folk like me. Many say that the Switch isn't the most powerful and yeah, I've also seen some games that are less than stellar on the Switch but the ability, the opportunity for me to play a lot of indie titles I've missed is seriously a godsend. When I got my Switch Lite, I immediately planned on getting a Steam Deck but after realizing that I'm just gonna play a total of 4 games on Steam so I opted out...for now. Plenty to play and experience at the moment and maybe when the PSP 2 comes out or the next Steam Deck then maybe. Don't wanna ditch the Switch rn. That's all from me. Thanks for reading 😊

[@sirharoldcat]

Fantastic little device, perfect for playing older AAA games and very convenient to use. For reasons I’ll never understand, I actually use it more than my PS5 and PC. There is a big issue though, I bought it specifically for a 9 hour long train trip to visit the family a few months ago, for the majority of that trip, the Switch was essentially unplayable due to how much the sunlight affected the screen. I could barely see a thing, so unless you have a portable blind for public transport, the Lite is far from ideal to travel with on bright days. PS, The Batman Arkham trilogy is not as bad as what was made out in the video, Asylum and City run perfectly, Arkham Night isn’t perfect, but I didn’t have stuttering in the Batmobile anywhere near that bad in my entire play though. There is lots of noticeable FR drops until you clear out a lot of the bad guys on the street, and the graphics aren’t great, but I found that game more than playable.. 🙂

Switch lite is an insane indie machine and the price is a sticking point for games, but if you keep an eye out on sales and 2nd hand games, you can get around that with a tiny bit of effort. The fact its 7 years old means there are a lot of deals and 2nd hand games, you just need to look around. In terms of value for money nothing comes close besides a Steam deck if its available in your region.

It would be great if they released the Switch 2 and the Lite 2 at the same time. Regardless i expect they will he nearly impossible to get for the first year because of scalping.

after buying a oled switch never ever back to lcd crap displays ...

[@faststrikefast8939]

And there comes me. I have all the consoles: ps5, xbox series, oled and switch. I buy all the aaa games for ps5 and xbox and always end up when I have time for gaming chilling with the nintendo switch lite playing mario or hollow knight :)))))

I got a switch lite because it was cheapest at the time abd easiest to take around with me, whilst the graphics arentm't amazing and it gets warm really quickly, its not bad for sure. I enjoy using it, but i do hate that we have games that are purely switch exclusives and others which are made with the switch in mind that end up sucking because of its limitations.

Got mine today and I love it.

i'm not gonna lie lmao i own both the oled and the lite and i actually prefer the lite over the oled, it's just such a solid unit and it gives me nostalgia of playing on my old gameboy pocket back in the day and also feels like a "successor" to the 3ds. i also feel more comfortable taking it around with me, not that i've ever damaged any of my switches (they're both in pristine condition) it's just less likely to have anything break due to being one single part.

[@rkontna]

Like honestly, it's an extra $150 or $100 dollars.. you make it sounds like you're getting a 200 or $300 up charge like you would on a cell phone to go up slightly screen size and slightly better battery life.

[@badboyinjordanz]

I enjoy playing my switch more than all of my other systems. It feels like the games for the bigger consoles are so caught up in micro transactions and graphics that they don’t even care if the game is actually fun to play.

[@atilla0463]

I found a well conditioned switch lite for 100 usd. I live in Sweden where a new switch lite is priced in 300 usd (we have high taxes). I actually want to get a switch oled, but since the switch 2 Is releasing THIS year. I dont want to buy the oled right now. But I still really really really want to play the Mario games. so as a temporary device for a couple of months I am really considering getting the switch lite (used for 100 usd) is this a good idea? yes? no? tell me

[@EthicalAllele]

You’re in a tough situation haha. If I was in your shoes, I think I would just wait for the switch 2 and hope that it’s backwards compatible with switch games. But the switch 2 is most likely coming with an lcd screen and not an oled. There’s also a switch lite oled custom mod that is being worked on right now. It’s not official, it’s not out yet, and you’d have to take apart a system yourself and change out the screen. (I’m excited for that bc I already own a switch lite). If you have a computer, you could try emulating the games you want to play. I don’t think you need very powerful hardware to do that.

[@atilla0463]

@@EthicalAllele hmmmm yeah I know it makes sense to wait. but its easier said then done hahah. but am gonna try to wait.......

För det priset tycker jag absolut. Sålde min men ångrar det nu några månader senare har en hel del spel digitalt så funderar på plocka upp en begagnad i morgon för 1700 tydligen 2 månader gammal

I bought the switch OLED for my sister and myself to use and its great, when she is using it i just emulate the switch games on my pc so we both can still play whenever we want 😎

[@mentalchild360]

I just really like your voice

[@GamingWithNeytiri]

also the original switch, exactly 299 euro's over here. the sitch lite though, 219,99 euro's. truly strange.

[@TeamDaemon1980]

*Switch* *Lite* Picked up another turquoise Switch Lite the other night from OfferUp in brand new condition for $130. Loving it again! But this better be my last time. This is the fourth Switch Lite I bought. Broke the previous two turquoises and didn’t like the coral. I feel like John Wayne in that I Love Lucy episode that had to keep making those footprints on wet cement. I think Switch Lite has become my most *rebought* gadget of all-time. But it’s my absolute favorite form factor of the Switch. Let’s see if fourth time’s the charm. And this is my third turquoise Lite which could be third time’s the turquoise charm. I’m still mad at myself for messing up the previous Lite I had. I will not make the same mistakes again. I’ll use my SN30 Pro so the left stick will not wear out after 7 months like it did with my first Lite. And I plan to always use the velcro strap when it’s inside the case. No more accidental falls when I forget that the zipper is open and then watch it crashing to the floor resulting in a hairline crack on the screen. Maybe I’ll get the Switch OLED again but I’m content with only owning the Lite. I just couldn’t tolerate the weight and width of the OLED. And I miss how sharp the graphics looks on the Lite thanks to the smaller screen but higher ppi. I miss the real d-pad too. Only thing to tolerate with my new Lite is the worse battery life. I only had the OLED for 6 days but it definitely had noticeably better battery life. If I got an OLED again and many do go for $250 or less on OfferUp considering the sellers know the Switch 2 is coming, then I would need to deregister my Lite as the primary console. That gets annoying. I would always need to have an Internet connection for a moment to play my games because it’s no longer the primary. Might as well wait for the Switch 2 instead of getting another OLED. I think when buying a handheld, I believe comfort is the most important thing to me and then battery life considering I don’t game for hours like before. Probably why I would go for the Retroid Pocket 4 over the Odin 2. True, it’s weaker. Worse battery life. But it’s cheaper by $100 and it’s smaller and more pocketable. Smaller, lighter, and cheaper are the key factors when purchasing a handheld for me. Size, weight, and hand comfort are all important for me. They’re called handhelds for a reason. You want your hands to feel comfortable when holding it. I don’t want to return to the days carrying bricks like the Game Gear and Atari Lynx. I’ll likely wait for the Switch Lite 2 by 2026. North American releases - DS: 2004 DS Lite: 2006 PSP: 2005 PSP slim: 2007 PS Vita: 2012 PS Vita slim: 2014 Switch: 2017 Switch Lite: 2019 Switch 2: 2024? Switch 2 Lite: 2026? Wait every two years. There will probably be a smaller PS Portal too which will include Bluetooth. With bigger consoles, it’s waiting three years (2006->2009, 2013->2016, 2020->2023) although PS5 slim is not that much smaller. We have these large smartphones already including foldables that weigh over 250g. Now you want to carry another brick for gaming? The PSP 2K and the PS Vita 2K models remain the most comfortable handhelds I’ve ever owned. It’s why I still own them and planning not to sell them. Weight - PSP: 280g PSP slim: *189g* PS Vita: 260g PS Vita slim: *219g* PS Portal: 529g Switch: 398g Switch Lite: *277g* Switch OLED: 420g Pimax Portal Retro: 306g Odin 2: 420g Anbernic RG405M: 260g Retroid Pocket 3+: 235g Retroid Pocket 4/4 Pro: 251g Steam Deck: 669g Steam Deck OLED: 640g So the Odin 2 is as heavy as the Switch OLED with the Joy-Con attached? I did get used to using the OLED but I still got wrist fatigue after 20 minutes. Not exactly the best size and weight while sitting on a toilet 🚽. I think my max weight for any handheld is no heavier than the Switch Lite but no taller and wider than the Vita. Steam Deck OLED is the best handheld out there but I’m torn if I really want a PC handheld or not. I really couldn’t tolerate the Switch OLED size, now imagine the Steam Deck? Then I’d play Red Dead Redemption at 30 fps on my Lite and start to think how much better the sequel looks on the more powerful Deck. I can barely hear what they’re saying in RDR because the Switch Lite’s speakers are so soft. Still waiting for that Switch 2 announcement. I still kept the slim case for the OLED and I’m hoping the Switch 2 (or Switch 2 Lite) can someday fit in it and be of similar size but be much lighter and thinner. This likely wins out for me thanks to the many Nintendo exclusives. I wish there was a Chinese handheld that looks like the RG405M but lighter and still have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

How did you break 4?

[@babytaz5926]

I agree the switch lite is worth it because I have switch older model and the new OLED switch and the lite and the lite is much more comfortbale traveling than the OG switch and the OLED

[@duality4y]

the switch is so so much more powerful then you realize! the nvidia tegra x1 inside is insane, nintendo chose to underclock it

[@kalark]

last year I bought a busted switch lite for like 40 bucks, it only needed a new digitizer and i decided to shell swap it too, fantastic value and i love this little handheld

[@GamingWithNeytiri]

oh that's strange, the switch oled is exactly 349 euro's over here however.

[@Soulrapier1]

i was looking for an oled one as first switch but the switch 2 rumors came so i just buy a $150 lite to wait for the new console, also who plays AAA games on a switch, just buy a ps5 or a pc, like me

[@ybagain3562]

My cousin got a lite cause he’s ex bought for him recently“I just told him just do what makes you happy bro” bro was depressed all day 😭😭

[@friedeggsareawesome]

The switch is perfect for me, I have literally skipped this generation of consoles because of it, it really is the console for the casual gamer and I love it, though I'm not interested in games like call of duty or whatever is the biggest online game now, I like to pop in a game and play a fun solo experience.

[@johnsducks9816]

The switch lite would be SO much more worth it with better speakers or better optimizations of the current speakers some games are just so hard to hear
