Bold of you to assume I share my switch in public

[@nateriver4951]

@Veganism Kills You attacked when the first word of your response was "Idiot," which is unnecessarily aggressive given that your stated objective was to "simply refute an incorrect statement." If you want to bask in the perceived superiority you have of yourself, great. Don't masquerade as some humble arbiter of truth, when it's clear that you just enjoy calling people idiots and snowflakes. I'd wager you actively seek out comments you perceive to be wrong just so you can do this.

[@nateriver4951]

@Veganism Kills 1. Nothing in OP's comment fits under any definition of "attack. You are incorrect. 2. "I simply exposed the lie." There was no definitive statement in the OP about the Lite. There was no "lie" to expose. You are incorrect. 3. "You got humiliated and made a fake account." Baseless assertions. You aren't as good at this as you think you are. 4. "I proceeded to debunk you yet again." Actually, you've only further proven the point I made in my initial comment. 5. I've already taken a screenshot of your comments in their current state. Keep that in mind. "You and his defenders are wrong." a) I never made a claim about the console. b) To illustrate what looks like when someone tries to seem more intelligent than they are, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that here you've acknowledged myself and OP as separate entities, yet in the next comment you present us as the same person as fact. Once again, you are not very good at this. If you can't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny without falling over yourself, you should probably stop calling others idiots and snowflakes. It just makes you look like an asshole.

[@nateriver4951]

@Veganism Kills 1. "Nintendo Usage stats prove the OP and you incorrect." Never made a claim about either console to be incorrect. Why are you so bad at this? 2. "I am above liars" Copy and paste the part of OP's comment that was a lie. I cannot wait for this. 3. "I am also above murderers and thieves" Irrelevant to the topic. "Others agreed" That's called an appeal to popularity. You are very bad at this. 4. "Your strawmanning tactics" I don't think you even know what that means. Feel free to copy and paste where I've "strawmanned" you. 5. More baseless assertions. 6. "You said that being above others is wrong and is narcissism?" Actually, nobody said that. Maybe you need to brush up on those reading skills. 6. "According to yourself." As I previously stated, I'm really not sure you know what "strawman" means.

9:10 "Lite Switch". Unintentional pun?

[@SanderEvers]

The Switch Lite is lighter, thus easier to hold for longer periods of gameplay. That makes the Switch lite a better handheld console than the OG Switch. (Which, to my opinion, still is a good handheld) I also got my Switch lite today, and I noticed it instantly in Mario Kart, playing handheld feels better. I don't really notice it in other games though. To me the Switch lite is the perfect 3DS replacement, and the Switch OG is the perfect Wii U replacement.

The switch uses micro switches, which is unusual for Nintendo they usually use rubber domes and the rubber domes work better for a d pad because it's easier to press two at a time. I'm glad they have gone back.

[@modestyblaise4167]

Alex wasn’t kidding about some games having text that’s hard to read. Some games are optimised for the TV and those games are really difficult to read on the Lite’s screen. Apart from that, it’s amazing! It’s best as a companion device though, which is how Nintendo are marketing it.

I just got one noew in 2022 to fill the void of not being able to find a PS5 and wanting to play some different games for awhile instead of playing my PS4... really really enjoying it. I love not having to go to a certain room to play it. I have it next to me while I'm working and if I want to play for 10 minutes I just pick it up, play, and turn it off. So convenient. The smaller screen is absolutely fine. No issue at all. The build is nice. I have no real complaints as I knew exactly what I was getting with this thing. It's fantastic.

[@BionicLightandShadow]

Unfortunately with my switch the flex on the joycons is a little too much, and will sometimes disconnect in the middle of gameplay. So I'm planning on getting a Lite.

Objective: Buy the nintendo switch lite Obstacle: I just bought the normal switch and I have no money

[@defaultdan7923]

Eh, you don’t need a switch lite unless you don’t use tv mode at all.

[@defaultdan7923]

Veganism Kills ok, it’s fine if you want to play by yourself and could care less about tv, but it’s missing a lot of versatility. You can’t do too many things with it, and some games won’t work on it unless you get joycons, even though those are a tiny amount. Also, it loses the ability to be set on a table, so no playing with friends. It doesn’t come with joycons, so you need to get some, and it doesn’t have a kickstand, and the small screen is what hammers in the fact that this is not a good system to play mario party or Mario kart on, and Mario kart is one of the most popular games to play with friends. You can’t hook up usb controllers because it can’t dock, but that doesn’t matter, because if you use a separate controller it won’t be too enjoyable because no kickstand unless you buy a case. You can get a grip for it, but you can also get a grip for the old Nintendo switch. Edit: grammar

Another reason to buy a Switch Lite: About a year ago I bought a Switch for me and my younger sister. We like playing tv mode and often play together. But now, ANIMAL CROSSING. We don’t want to share anymore and would both like to spend 10 hrs at a time playing without taking turns. As a grown adult, I would like my own switch but to spend another $300 is ridiculous since we’ve already got one. The solution? The Lite.

I'm almost completely blind but the screen is good enough for me especially with the zoom feature. I'm used to things like the game boy series so I don't miss the rumble and it's great when the wife wants to use the tv. I can still get in my hand. The battery life which I've heard some complaints about lasts me just find. I play of and on all day and only have to charge mine once daily. Thank you for the vids!

[@autisticgaming2004]

Same like I play in both in handheld and t.v mode equally and I'm sticking with the original switch unless I can somehow get the newer version of the switch and plus I don't like the idea of switching between the two switches like having a home switch and to go one when you can just have one of them in the first place.

[@michaelvert7918]

I recently had my 12 b-day party. I got over $150 dollars in gift cards and then I had a hundred dollar gift card from my aunt that she gave me for me actual birthday. I thought of using the money and adding 50 bucks to get a switch but my dad said that the switch was the last thing we needed in our house because he already had a xbox s and ps4 (I thought he meant that we couldn't have nintendo switch at all). But then he did offer me to get the lite for road trips and portable gaming. I already had a DS for that but I haven't used that since I was like 8 years old. So I bought it and a bunch of other accessories for it. I got it in the blue color and started regretting it when it shipped. The color looked like purple. When it came it didn't look purple at all and it was a great. I took it on a 7 hour road trip and by using it every 45 for 1 1/2 hours I made the battery last. The games are pricey but that goes for all of the switches. The screen is a bit faint but that's acceptable for 200 dollars. The size is just right for me and i'm not short at all just to give you a perspective im a football wide receiver so im pretty tall to get past requirements. This was my first real nintendo console designed for gamers unlike the DS. I had a WII and a DS and I think somewhere in the back of our basement there's even a game boy but this really is nintendo's giant leap towards gaming. It's almost a must have now for gamers. But it is good for all games now though. I prefer to play fortnite on my PC but recently with the no building and aim help I'm on the ps4 or xbox. For apex legends I use switch (surprisingly). And I really got into asphalt legends 9 on switch so I installed it on my ps4 and pc but the experience is just different of the nintendo. Then for minecraft everyone knows it obviously PC. The main let down of this controller is its screen quality and size I know if nintendo had to make it larger and improve the quality i wouldn't be budget or as portable. Last thing. I wasn't exactly correct on how the switch is bad for minecraft. Creative mode on switch is awesome. You don't have to continuously click or peck at a keyboard. But for switch its right there just a joystick and some buttons and you could even play in bed. Same would go for the xbox for ps4 but the lay out in my room makes me lay sideways or crane my neck or even sit up.
