5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get her off it
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
Works perfectly for our little one. She is a gamer girl and was tired of asking to use her brother's platforms. Now they all can play at the same time. Fits little hands perfectly and holds the games she likes. I like the fact that there are no joy cons for her to lose. Great product for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tired of fighting the kids for the Switch
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023
I was tired of fighting the kids for the Switch, so I caught myself a Nintendo Switch Lite in Turquoise, and let me tell you, it's like holding a piece of the ocean that plays games. This thing is so light that a strong wind could carry it away. That means it's super portable, right? Perfect for gaming on the go, whether traveling or just dodging household chores.
The color is gorgeous, like a tropical paradise in your hand. And the built-in controls make it feel like the Ferrari of handheld gaming. It's so comfortable; it's like the Switch Lite was custom-made for my hands. Plus, it's so fast that I lost a race in Mario Kart before I even realized it had started. Talk about a speedy little device!
It's a bit of a bummer that it's an all-in-one system. If something breaks, you're out of luck. Let's not dwell on the negatives. This thing is a great compact device for travel and at home. Don't let it out of your sight on a windy day.
And hey, according to Nintendo, the Turquoise Switch Lite is the most popular color. Who wouldn't want to game on a piece of the ocean? So, if you're in the market for a new gaming buddy, the Nintendo Switch Lite in Turquoise might be the splash of color you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars continues to be the best value in gaming
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
The switch lite has been on the market since the summer of 2019 and priced ~$199.99 which is an extremely good value. My tendency is to compare it to the original game boy which was gifted to me as a young child back in the early 90’s which was priced at $89.99 so when accounting for inflation, the switch lite is an even better value by a few dollars. Of course graphically it’s a bit lacking by the standards of today but just like the original game boy, it’s all about the games and this is where the nintendo switch shines. For games like botw & totk it might be better to dish out an extra $100-150 to be able to play those gems on a big screen tv but for me, my 1st game purchase was ultra street fighter which was purchased nearly a year before even owning the system. Games like sf or TETRA’s Escape are perfect for quick gaming on the go.
The biggest negative imo is that battery life is a bit disappointing considering the original game boy which used 4x double-a batteries easily provided at least 12hrs of continuous gaming if my memory is correct and that was released 30 years before the switch lite. The D-pad is great vs the regular switch… recently been reading lots of speculation about the “switch 2”… quite interesting/funny imo as knowing nintendo, there’s no guarantee that their next console will be anything like the current switch because the big n is so innovative that their next console could be somewhat different but obviously we’ll see.

5.0 out of 5 stars PARENTS BEWARE: This could be useless to you too!
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
Gave it 5 stars because there is nothing wrong as described, but parents may want to read this:

I have two kids and we already own the original Nintendo Switch and have amassed over 40 games throughout the 2.5 years since the Switch's release. The Switch Lite although nothing physically wrong with it, is completely useless to me and my family. I have two young kids, and all 3 of us have our own profiles which are linked under my main account via Nintendo ID. The problem is is that only the main account holder (me) can play the purchased games on both devices. So the Switch Lite does not work for either of my kids, only my main account. Yes, this can be switched by changing which Switch device is the "primary" switch, but the fact still remains that under NO conditions can my kids play both switch consoles at the same time, even if it is two separate games. If you have cartridges instead of digital downloads, you will not have this problem. I just fail to understand Nintendo's logic with this. I understand that they are trying to protect their own content from unauthorized use, but in doing so are rendering their newest device completely useless to customers like me. I will be returning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smaller but sturdy
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024
I got this for my wife because she was having issues with the larger version that has detachable joycons (controllers). She's pretty rough with it and it didn't talk long before the joycons started to disconnect in the middle of playing. She would repeatedly detach and reattach them to get them to sync again.

This version has a smaller screen, no detachable joycons. It seems more sturdy and less likely to have issues but if it does have issues you can't just buy a new set of joycons so that is a risk.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great on the Go
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023
This is a pretty nice budget version of the Switch.

There are a ton of reviews on it, but my two cents are this:

The console feels lightweight, and this is both a blessing and a curse. It’s great for traveling, but it feels like a child’s toy in your hands.

It is probably too flat of a console to hold comfortably. I have smaller hands, but even I feel like it needs to be contoured more ergonomically. I wish Nintendo had thought about how a human hand would grip something before deciding on the shape. You will definitely want to buy a grip case of some kind to make it more comfortable to hold.

Otherwise, it’s a great little console. I love the games that are available, and it’s a lot of fun to play. The screen is also really vibrant, and for a non-OLED it’s really quite lovely to look at.

For $199.99, I’d say this is a great buy if you find yourself unable to spare the extra $150 for an OLED model. However, if you can afford it, the OLED is definitely the way to go at this point.

If you’re buying this for a child, however, get some protective cases and some screen protectors because this thing is not built to take a beating (if you’ve got kids, then you know what I mean).
