The Nintendo Switch Lite In 2024 (Honest Review)

[@RendonTech]

What are YOUR thoughts on the Switch Lite in 2024 ?

[@Chrisjay-yw2cu]

I think it still has things to offer....

[@houstontxslabcity8172]

I can say I love switch lite as a handheld like you said we can drop it in to the pocket an go this is my Gameboy I have the Xbox s/x so I don't need it on the TV its just right 💯 yes it does last long in battery 5-6 hours it's cool to have a pocket full of games true handheld gaming 1Tb full of games that's cool

[@darrinbedenfield9626]

I am thinking about buying a switch lite but I still have a nagging concern about joy-con drift issues....are you having any problems with your joy-cons?

I have the OLED Switch and I love it. I play this more than I do my Xbox which sadly is a dust collector. The fun factor is endless compared to other consoles is 100 imo.

[@FabuBrik]

I wish they would revive the 3DS line. That clamshell design was perfect for handheld.

[@RendonTech]

I completely agree. The DS was a beast

[@Telmarine55]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo ever came out with a Switch Mini or something.

[@Justanobody8472]

Theres a rumor that the xbox handheld will be a clamshell

[@makotonarukami7468]

I don't think it's crazy to say that with Nintendo, they will eventually go back to offering a clam shell design again. It's a Time factor. Those Game&Watches were released in some form before, eventually we will get a DS Lite for $99 then 3DS waaaaay later.

I’m a 38 yr old man who’s never been into playing games. I’ve never really been interested in things like this but wanted something to start playing higher quality games on other than my iphone. I don’t want to always have to sit in front of my television to play on a console also. If you have one, do you think this is worth it?!

[@FMT1000]

Yes definitely u can play anywhere good battery and can play most modern games aswell is really good

[@dylanrubio6117]

Switch lite is the way to go. I kinda want to mod mine

[@RendonTech]

Be careful with modding it bro!

[@blueberry44.]

I have it modded and I dont regret anything! It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have lots of games and for free.

[@smokegames1179]

Modded light is awesome got it hacked for $30 by a technician here in the Philippines plus $10 for the mod chp

[@Rko13]

I personally didn’t think i was going to like this but i got one as a gift last year on christmas and i really enjoy it.

[@RendonTech]

Literally same but it's just so convenient

[@Telmarine55]

You’re right. It’s a TRUE handheld capable console. And it’s not like previous console generations where a Nintendo handheld device a had lesser version of a game (ex. Wii U Mario Kart 8 vs 3DS Mario Kart 7). It plays all the exact same games that the dockable Switch can play. I’m currently really into Super Mario Bros Wonder!

[@Chrisjay-yw2cu]

Im getting a lite soon mainly because its so hard to carry consoles when i travel..

[@ChristopherSilla]

Although I primarily play PC games, it would be great to play Read Dead Redemption and The Witcher 3 handheld while outside or at bedtime and simply shut it off when sleepy😁

[@TheTOShow1]

Witcher 3 on Switch is so much fun. Sure it's better on PC/Xbox/PS but it's amazing playing in handheld with the small screen. Also, the Switch version has cross saves with PC and consoles now (I alternate between Switch while traveling and Xbox Series X when I'm playing at home).

[@mrwannabe00]

Steam Deck

[@trashcontent_dan6354]

​@@TheTOShow1 I have gaming pc at home which can run witcher 3 and similar games on max graphics settings and im thinking about buying switch cuz from monday til friday im in boarding school and i want my pc to stay at home ready for me to use it on weekend. So is playing these games on switch as enjoyable as playing them on bigger device? Im afraid of being dissapointed by switch gaming experience since im used to play games on way bigger and more powerful device.

[@TheTOShow1]

@@trashcontent_dan6354 You have to lower your expectations for Switch. Check out a few youtube videos of people playing on Switch. If you just want to play in handheld then the Lite is the way to go. I really enjoy the handheld experience of the Switch but it is a downgrade from modern hardware. One thing I like about the Switch is that it just works. No tweaking or anything and you can jump right in to the game. The graphics on the small screen aren't too bad for the Witcher 3 but when you play it in docked mode you will be disappointed if you're used to a nice PC but it's still tons of fun. Plus the Switch has a massive library if you're into RPGs.

[@Mordenkainen322]

My kids have taken over my switch that goes into the T.V. i only ever used it for handheld. So I just pre-ordered the zelda switch lite edition I can't wait to be able to play again.

​​@@HarisKaido you can adjust the brightness level from settings itself or you can long press the home button and change the brightness from there.

[@Laz3rCat95]

I've had a Switch Lite for about a year and I definitely think it is worth the buy if you either already have or don't care to have a dockable Switch and just want a handheld gaming device. Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite game I've played so far, and I also think Kirby and the Forgotten Land is great too.

[@afroshark2799]

Never touched a Lite before, but the new gold Zelda one that's coming out with the new Echoes game looks cleeeean. 👌

Hey, I’ve been debating a lot lately whether to have this or the OLED. I have the OLED in use and have the yellow lite just in my cupboard. Considering getting the blue switch though instead so unsure whether to switch yet. The advantage for me would be the d pad and the portable use

[@royalg.1815]

I've been contemplating between the OG switch or the lite version for a long time. I'm a console player and I am definitely leaning hard to the lite version, but I also want to play and share the experience of the switch with my friends and bf, that's why I'm considering the OG switch because people says that is the best for multiplayer. I'm in a pickle ;w;

[@RendonTech]

If you want ir for multiplayer, I would definitely do the OG switch. Mario Kart, Smash bros, and Mario Party are just a few amazing multiplayer games on the Switch

[@mlgbblade5221]

Og switch is def the way to go for what you described!

[@alluringming]

Also one best things about it compared to rog ally, lenovo legion go, and the steamdeck is not just the size but it has physical games and not just purely digital. Something to be said about having physical copies of games. Its not a perfect system but its still a good system. Has an oled but got this for my brother since we share the oled together and if im on it he can use the lite but he loves the lite and is on it more than the oled. I personally would love to see an oled model with better battery life and stretched out oled screen but with new switch around corner i dont see that happening. Good case choice btw, my brother has something similar for better ergonomics. I got a yellow version since its one of his favorite colors, if it was orange it would be perfect for him ^^

With the Switch 2 apparently being larger - Switch Lite is the only current Switch worth buying now as it will be the most portable Switch and will have its own place even after Switch 2 is released ...

[@No-iy9cx]

Or maybe there will be Switch 2 Lite.

[@Yeanthony]

100 percent agree with you saying when we play on the tv, it’s gonna most likely be an Xbox or ps5 but I got the switch lite for on the go

[@EmL-kg5gn]

We already had an original switch (which I love) but I have severe chronic fatigue and found that having to get up and take it off the dock was preventing me from playing games, which is a problem because gaming is one of very few activities I can manage on bad days. So I got a switch lite secondhand and it’s amazing! It’s so much more comfortable to play since it’s lighter and smaller, which I wouldn’t really notice if I was well but it’s made a huge difference. And it’s mine only so I can bring it with me around the house! Acnh is my most played game but I also love Zelda botw, pokemon let’s go and the untitled goose game. Kirby’s dream buffet is a new favourite! Tbh I don’t think botw would be ideal on switch lite but maybe link’s awakening or echoes of wisdom might be better?

[@Do-me505]

I love it!!! My wife has the regular switch but I got the switch lite … I love it … it’s not that heavy too.

[@RendonTech]

@Do-me505 literally the same boat! My wife has the regular one and I have the Switch lite and it's great for on the go gaming!

I have just bought the switch lite after watching your video. Before switch I had ps vita it was amazing (still has it). But about switch for me the worst thing is only that I can’t unplug the joycons but it doesn’t matter I only wanted the handheld. I bought it in Hyrule Edition it is fire

[@samanthalynchard616]

I bought a lite this year even after already owning the oled. I got the animal crossing one from walmart ($159) I love the size of lite for handheld but mostly got it for travel 😊

[@fpvpilot7713]

I bought the pokemon Switch lite that is gray with black sticks and buttons. By far the best looking one I think. It can still be found online. I have noticed games run and look better on the Lite probably because the screen is smaller and maybe a slower refresh. The Lite is my favorite to take on a trip for sure.

[@LDFM18]

I got a new one at $120 and thats why is the best switch of all the version, it is super cheap and high quality and with the prices of the games is great to get a switch at the prices of two nintendo games

[@stephs3597]

@ need to figure out how to pirate

[@eliasmaissour437]

@stephs3597 I still don't know how to pirate Nintendo games for ds and switch, but I usually find all the older console games on cd-rom. I asked him about the games since I want to buy a switch lite when I save up enough money and he told he just writes the name of the game free download and he gets results straight away. I guess the more you do this you'll find common sites that will have the largest catalogs like cd-rom or steamrip

[@gingerhunley]

would th lite be a better chico for an 8 year old he had a regular switch but he kept breaking the things that slied on off and you have to buy both to get one, he would lose his games cause they so small what would sugest ?

[@RendonTech]

He should still be able to play his games on the switch lite but I would stick with the switch that he had and get new controllers for it. Just because it's a cheaper option and also if he does mess up the controller on the switch lite he would have to get a whole new switch

I never really properly gamed before but Red Dead Redemption really made me purchase a console for the first time. I was going to buy the OLED because of it's vast features but I bought a Lite last minute. It was bigger than I expected (I have small hands) but still very comfortable to hold. The buttons are nice and feel buttery and smooth. The video quality is crisp on the small screen, but the text is small and there will be some difficulty reading if you have poor eyesight, which is my only gripe. Speaker quality is not the best, but it's not a priority for me personally, so I don't really mind it much. I don't game for hours on end, but only for a short while so the battery life on this device is perfect for me. Since I've never used a handheld console before and have only used a switch for only a day, it will take some getting used to the controls. It's a great device and I'm glad I got it over the OLED.
