Nintendo Switch Lite Review: Excellent handheld, no dock required
I've always been a huge fan of the Nintendo Switch The handheld finally fulfilled my childhood dream of being able to take a video game console on the go and then dock it at home to play that same experience on a television.- Build quality is improved
- $260 is a great price
- Library of games is impressive
- Can't be docked and played on a television
- Battery life still isn't great
- Screen is 720p
Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise SWITCHLITE TURQ review
It's an even-more-portable Switch that is the perfect commute companion. It might not be quite as feature packed as the original but the missing features are rarely missed and that D-pad makes a huge difference.

Nintendo Switch Lite review: A better way to play on the go
All in all, I ended up loving the Switch Lite more than I expected. I was surprised by how light and portable it is, and I really like the soft feel of the buttons. Playing on it is much more comfortable than the regular Switch in handheld mode, which is to be expected.
Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise SWITCHLITE TURQ review
If feel and price are more important to you than features and flexibility (or if you’re just trying to replace your 3DS) then the Switch Lite is a wonderful way to get your hands on an awesome system.
Nintendo Switch Lite Review
The Switch Lite is kind of cute. Sat next to its bigger brother, it's more compact, and its unibody design has taken the playfulness of the Joy-Con colouring to heart with some attractive full-body colours. It's like a mini-Switch wearing a yellow, turquoise or grey onesie. It's cute!- Nice
- more compact form
- Fun console colours
- Improved battery life over original Switch
- A D-pad

Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise SWITCHLITE TURQ review
The Switch Lite is something that most of us probably assumed was inevitable. Nintendo loves to iterate on its consoles with new models – handhelds especially – so a hardware revision for the Switch is something that was bound to happen.- At $200
- the Switch Lite is priced really well
- More portable than the standard Switch
- Good battery life despite smaller size
- USB-C port placement can be annoying at times
- No option to connect to an external display
