Nintendo Switch Lite

The Nintendo Switch Lite is optimized with portable gaming in mind. It offers a number of design features intended to make sure your gaming experience is as seamless and enjoyable as possible—no matter when and where the urge to play strikes you. Enjoy the greatest gaming experiences Nintendo has to offer at home, on your commute, or just about anywhere you can imagine with the Nintendo Switch Lite console.

Today’s hottest video game console

Since its first release in March of 2017, the Nintendo Switch has steadily become one of the most popular video game consoles of its generation. With access to a huge library of critically-acclaimed games and software featuring many of Nintendo’s most iconic characters, along with the ability to play anywhere, the Nintendo Switch is unlike any other system available.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is just the newest member to the Nintendo Switch family. It incorporates a number of new features and overall revisions to create the best portable gaming experience possible.

What is the difference between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite

The original Nintendo Switch console is designed to serve a dual purpose, allowing gamers to play both on the big screen at home (in “docked” mode) as well as on-the-go (in “handheld” mode). The Nintendo Switch Lite is a new model of Switch purely designed for handheld play. This means that it cannot utilize accessories such as the Nintendo Switch dock or Joy-Con controllers.

Instead, the new “Lite” redesign offers a sleeker, compact and lightweight design that’s perfect for hitting the road. The Nintendo Switch Lite controllers are built right into the system (unlike the Nintendo Switch’s detachable Joy-Cons) and do not require separate charging. The slimmer, streamlined structure of the Nintendo Switch Lite makes it not only more portable and durable, but also more economical than its predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is also compatible with any game in the Nintendo Switch library that can be played in handheld mode. The few exceptions tend to be games that require the use of detachable Joy-Con controllers. Look for the “handheld” compatible logo when purchasing Nintendo Switch software to confirm compatibility with Nintendo Switch Lite. In spite of these rare exceptions, the Nintendo Switch Lite games library is still packed with the biggest new releases across Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Zelda, and many more.

Nintendo Switch Lite styles and accessories

A wide selection of Nintendo Switch Lite colours allows players to really express their own unique style. The console comes in a range of vibrant hues such as turquoise, coral, yellow, and grey. Since this console is built to be taken with you wherever you roam, you’ll also likely want to protect it with great accessories such as a Nintendo Switch Lite case and a Nintendo Switch Lite screen protector. These handy accessories will not only safeguard against accidents, but will enable you to further customize your style with colourful designs and patterns featuring your favourite Nintendo characters and more.
