For people who may be watching this an worry about “joycon drift”, an issue where the joysticks’ central position can shift and affect the reliability of the console; since you cannot simply replace the affected stick by changing tithe the left or right joycon on a regular Switch. I own four Switch consoles. My original 2016 release, a Switch OLED, a Switch Lite and a limited edition Zelda Switch OLED (I know, but that TOTK theme was too pretty). I also have several other sets of joycons I’ve bought. After over at least thousand hours of gaming across all of these devices I have never once encountered drift with my sticks. I may have simply been lucky or perhaps it’s because I treat my hardware with respect? Either way, try not to make it concern you too much. Like with many things nowadays, I feel it’s blown out of proportion online because some people just want to hate on the system. The Lite is a superb little handheld and very comfortable to play on. If I’m going away it’s definitely my system of choice. Even at home, it’s slightly smaller and lighter form factor make it more comfortable to play for me than a full size Switch. At £200 it’s a steal, especially the new Animal Crossing bundle as you essentially get a free game which is super fun and adorable in equal measure.

[@kshil9713]

I second this! I worried about this a lot before getting my Switch lite, but 2 years later and I have no issues with it. Even IF it were to occur, they do offer free repair of joy con drifts (even if your warranty has expired). The only downside is that you can't play while your device is shipped off on repair, but a few days off the Switch is not the end of the world.

[@DonJarvius]

I got my switch four years ago now and of my 3 joycons that I’ve had, only one of them have gotten drift, and even then it was after over 3 years of playtime. It is not as big of an issue as it seems (especially since I was able to just send it in to Nintendo for FREE and get it fixed within the week).

[@emoreanzolin]

Baught last week, and the controller makes strange noise, with a new one !?!

[@stijnvonck1431]

There is hardly any footage of drift on the Switch Lite. I think if you take good care of it, you won't need to worry.

[@heavenwu5585]

I’ve had my coral version for about 2 years now and I love it. I recently modded it with the help of a friend. I also just recently bought the yellow and the Mario Oled.

[@mangopaw]

I plan on modifying the switch after purchase, have you regretted it after a few months or is it fine? :)

[@AJB_23]

How did you mod it and what mods did you do?

[@Nekolata]

Nintendo really knows how to make me buy things I don’t need and already have something VERY similar to, but are STILL SO MY THING😭💖

I have both one of the original switches and also the lite. I just recently received the lite. I prefer everything about the switch lite.

[@MuhammadFakhri-q2u]

so i should get lite even tho it cant conect to tv or you rarely use that?

[@GeminiSunrise06]

​@@MuhammadFakhri-q2u you have to choose based on what you want. You wanna play on tv, take the regular. You're 70/30 handled, pick the Oled. You want to play only in handled, pick the light.

[@HarisKaido]

​@@MuhammadFakhri-q2u if u wanna play on tv just get ps4/5 cuz all versions of Nintendo switch have bad graphic if u dock it on tv, especially if u have a big ass tv like mine i will never ever play my switch on tv😂 i have both oled and lite but I really like lite cuz i can put it on my pocket when i go everywhere

[@yobinad]

I got the lite back in January. It was loads of fun in the beginning but after awhile I realised the screen is just too small. Now I'm thinking about upgrading to OLED, however there's a slim chance that Nintendo next year finally decides to make an official announcement about the switch 2 so I'm really trying my best not to get an OLED lol

[@hannahslamdien4432]

I'd say still get it. It's awesome. Nintendo Consoles have great 2nd-hand value so you'd be able to get a great buck if deciding to sell it.

[@LLLexen]

Just get an oled

[@porgesomer]

I say wait a little while longer. If a new console will be released than you'll have to see if it's backwards compatible. If not and you want to experience the huge library of games than get the OLED cuz the prices will probably drop. If Nintendo will not announce anything in the near future then get the OLED :)

[@yobinad]

You guys are amazing thanks for the input. I'm currently playing ff12 on my lite, I played it on PS2 from back in the day. It's still fun even after 17 years! I'm gonna continue playing on my lite👍

[@JoshJr98]

Oled is bigger screen but same resolution. Meaning less sharp of an image

[@numeral382]

1:38 It can, kinda. If you install a mod chip and use sys DVR you can mirror your display to your laptop over USB with pretty serviceable image quality . Switch modding isn't just for piracy, I'm actually commenting this from my switch rn. Soldering a mod chip to a lite is actually fairly easy for someone who has experience soldering. A rp2040 tiny is 3 bucks and getting it installed at your local repair shop will probably go for 20 to 60 bucks if their cool with it. Modchips are definitely a must have after warranty ends (even v1's should all get chips imo cause 2040cores are 10 bucks. Just sayin

[@mangopaw]

I plan on modifying the switch after purchase, have you regretted it after some time or is it fine? :)

[@jes1910]

Just bought the NS lite 2023 animal crossing edition but in teal colorway with free physical game included. In my opinion if someone is just buying any nintendo switch in 2023, choose the model that recently released like these animal crossing switch lite version and the oled mario edition, for the reason that you'll have a peace of mind knowing that the hardware inside your console are built in the 2nd/3rd quarter of 2023. Everything isn't stale in short, like the battery is not sitting for years inside the console like the early colorways of the switch lites, that way I think you're giving yourself a real bang for the buck 👌 My switch lite is consistently giving me a little over 3hours of gameplay in DB figherz, Resident Evil Revelation, Diablo 3 while being connected to wifi, 8bitdo lite 2 controller, Bluetooth speakers or earbuds (depends on my gaming mood).

[@chrisjohnson9542]

I was not going to buy a switch I was happy with my 3ds but last week I fell asleep with a popsicle next to me and it melted right on top of my 3ds and messed it up bad. I was going to buy a used 3ds but then realized they are more expensive than a brand new switch! I just ordered a switch lite with the mega man battle network collection. I'm super excited and now I'm looking forward to paper mario TTYD coming out in 2 months. Plus playing mario odyssey and kirby and the forgotten land. I should have pulled the trigger sooner. I didn't realize how inexpensive the switch lite was!

[@nutmeg9593]

@@chrisjohnson9542 Try Xenoblade chronicles, Pikman 4, and Mario Wonder. They look great on the switch lite.

[@JPwiththeL]

Just got the animal crossing bundle and love the design and the game being included for only 200$ was a great deal! Would definitely recommend to anyone👍

[@NipplesOfDestiny]

something nobody mentions - you basically have to be in the dark to use it. ANY light behind/above you results in a gaming session on a mirror, it's borderline unusable during the day. BUT, in the right lighting conditions, it's totally fun. Worth the money if you're indoors all day, for everyone else probably not

[@samgrey7486]

idk man, i play my switch lite outside in the morning and bright lights everywhere, i still can see the screen just fine, just need to up the screen brightness a little bit but that's it

[@alonzo9772]

I still use my yellow Lite all of the time. It barely weighs anything, so it's perfect to bring on road trips and plane rides.

I got this for my brother and he is happy with it, we have an oled which we share and decided to get to this him last year since there are time when one of us is on the oled but the other has to wait for other person get done with it.

[@alexlol5062]

I found one for kinda cheap (around $140) yesterday and it came with 4 $60 games (not physical tho). And i ordered it! I hope it will be fun for atleast a year. I have a ps4 and semi gaming laptop on the side anyway so this is just for when i travel!

[@luke14clx]

Same I usually game on pc but since I can't take a whole setup anywhere I bought a switch lite 🔥

[@cheekyfantasy1314]

depends honestly if you can get an V2 or Oled, i would recommend those more BUT , some people cant due to financial reasons, the Switch Lite is a perfectly good alternative otherwise

[@Gamergirlyoshi]

I still play mine and love it.

Lovely video man, please next time use your voice and don't use an AI voice, it doesn't feel natural to me at all

[@jjayala]

Just got one lol. Had the switch since 2019 and the joycon connection on the device itself has become inconsistent. Some days it's not an issue some days I have to reconnect all day no matter which joycons I use. Have a list of gaming things I still want haha but I knew I'd want a lite before the 2nd switch or whatever drops. I imagine in the future the lite will be my retro console lol.

[@kasrakh86]

Im still deciding between this and OLED Version. Im leaning more on the oled version but we'll see what happens later on.

[@alexlol5062]

If this is your only gaming console, or if you never had a switch, get the OLED. I have a ps4 and laptop so I got the lite since I will only use it for handheld lol.

[@NemesisXSparrow]

I think the console's sound level is lower than that of phones, and this level always changes depending on some games.

[@WaffleRBLOX]

Just use headphones

[@Mr.Chimpazee]

[@life09m]

Definitely worth it, more worth it than the OD & OLED switch.

Thanks for the video. On the "Drums" section I think you mean "Battery". Probably a different translation from Italian if you're doing a direct translation.

Yes exactly, I will therefore use the word battery to understand better. Thanks for the note

[@nerd6646]

How long have you had it? I've heard that lite is most likely to get vertical lines/green lines on screen?

[@andreadigitaltechen]

I've had it for a few weeks now. Regarding the display issue, I believe that like any electronic device, it requires proper care and attention. I would recommend using a good protective case to preserve its lifespan and cushion any impacts. Additionally, if you purchased it new, it is covered by warranty for any malfunctions

I am new and just waiting for my switch lite to arrive. Aside from the kirby game, animal crossing and super mario wonder, I have nothing else in mind to play bc this is my first gaming console and not really a gamer but really enjoy casual games and moba. I am wondering if there are games out there that are perfect entry for newbies like me.

[@ReeseMilanes]

Zelda breath of the wild, paper mario, and mario kart, are some good examples of casual games. You might also like diablo or persona

[@AnjirGaming-nz7bc]

What do you use for main lighting?

[@braulio8087]

Would you recommend to buy it even if i already have the OLED? 😢😢

[@andreadigitaltechen]

The Lite is great for travel, perfect to use on the go or keep in your bag due to its compact size. It loses a bit in display quality compared to the OLED, but it's all about convenience. If you find the OLED a bit less portable and plan to use the Switch mostly on the move, the Lite could be a good option :)

[@taudsley6967]

In the end, NES is just fun! For more intense gaming the higher up hand helds consoles.. PS and Xbox have the market.. have to keep in mind for more graphics and game play its consoles and a monitor. I started with original Atari and grew up to the PS5.. I don’t regret my Switch Lite by any means it’s good old FUN!

Hello , i just bought switch lite 2023 dark blue. And this is my first time own a switch. I just feels that the joystick is too soft and if i touch the joystick it jiggled. Is it normal or i got the bad switch? It feels different compare to xbox controller i can use the joystick without worrying, but when i use the switch joystick it just feel that it won't last long because it's too soft and jiggle , but it's responsive. So i feel weird about this joystick.please anyone answer me, sorry for my bad english, thank you

[@thewellowlcityfan10]

Mine do this as well. This is normal. Just don't pull them and keep your switch in a case so that dirt won't get inside the joycons!

[@Tragic_Arrogance]

Switch Lite makes it redundant to buy the actual Nintendo Switch. As someone who games primarily on PC, owning a Nintendo console would be a waste of money. Plus, handhelds have always been the only good thing about Nintendo and it's nice to keep the nostalgia factor as someone who grew up with the Gameboy/Gameboy Advance/Nintendo DSi/2DS.
