I think the Switch Lite is a good alternative for people that want to play Nintendo/Switch exclusives but don't want to pay the full price of a regular Switch and of course for people that don't feel the need to/can't play on a TV. BUT why is the Battery life shorter than with the 2019 Switch? Wouldn't it make more sense to give a Handheld-console, that you can't plug in on the go, a stronger Battery?
earonie 。 yeah that is kind of dumb. I heard there’s drift too? Those two problems need to be fixed even though it’s cheaper you’re right. But performance and not being able to plug into the tv isn’t something anyone should be surprised or mad about. Not saying you specifically are but you get my point.
@@RM-56 Probably, since they have the same joystick components (as far as I know). Yeah, I see what you mean. I even considered to buy myself a Lite. It makes even less sense for People with a regular switch to complain about the lite. Like.. What's the point in that?
The only reason i bought the “lite” is because i own a ps4 and pc i need a console with 3A games that i can bring with me because i think Phone”mobile” games are shit and fake lol
Pinsp8ner p agree. Only good games on mobile are Minecraft, Fortnite, pubg, and cod. 2 of those give you so many pop ups for in game purchases, one is hated by so many people for no reason, and one costs $7.
Okay so I've been watching countless "Switch vs Lite" videos over the past week, trying to decide what to get myself for the holidays. The only thing that was hampering my decision, was I was really unsure about the smaller 5.5" screen. You are THE ONLY video that I've found that has done a side-by-side comparison. The higher pixel fidelity of the Lite actually looks superior to the regular Switch, and honestly the 0.7" difference isn't even that noticeable because of the bezel. Thank you for helping me cement my decision in the Lite.
@@martinsmith577 Oh well. Not something all of us want. I just want to lay in bed and catch Pokemon. Lite is, and has been, fine with me. I already have a PS4, PS3, and gaming PC hooked up to my TV so unless I want to invest in a $70 HDMI switcher (cheap ones aren't capable of 60FPS) this is the best and easiest thing for me.
@@The.Horror.Network joycon drift is an issue, I don't know if it happens on the lite too, but if it does on the original model you can just replace it, while on the lite you can't
It's because women's clothes are primarily designed by other women, who traditionally have utilised satchels, purses, etc, in order to store things while out and about. Men's clothing is primarily designed by other men, who have traditionally had to carry in our pockets everything we needed when we go out. If you want things to change, start buying men's clothes and force women's clothing designers to adapt to the shift.
I think the switch lite is pretty neat. I like the portability of it, and it’s great for kids as their first console, and I like the minimalistic feel of it. Personally the switch lite is not for me, since I love playing multiplayer games with my family, so I got the normal switch. Keep in mind, I don’t think the normal switch is superior, I think they are equally amazing in their own ways, and everyone has their preference in which switch they want to use, but I personally love the key aspects of the normal switch, like you can connect it to the tv and it’s very customizable to fit your style
I really want switch I dont have enough for the og but I do for the light I was going to play handheld all the time anyways so I thought I use the extra money on smashbros
i pick up lite pokemon one.... wicther 3 creash a lot at certain level.... next year ps5 come out switch will be 2 gen too old from that point.... after this better wait for next gen with just better eveything... og still run wicther 3 fine....
I think the best way to put it is. The switch works amazing as a console with your tv, but can also be used on the fly. The switch lite is a truly portable home console specifically optimized for on the go. So if you play on the go more. Get the lite. If you primarily play at home. Get the switch. Of note. You can use all the switch controllers with the lite on a stand. So for me, since I prefer the controls on the lite and play 99% of the time on the go. I’ll just put the lite on my stand and use my pro controller when I’m at home.
I’m down to get one. I pretty much always use handheld and I don’t plan for whole days of just gaming, and even if I did I’d just plug in and play at the same time. These issues don’t really seem to be a problem for me, so I think I’ll get one, probably the yellow one I like that one a lot. (Sorry for the long comment, just putting my opinion out there for all to see)
I changed to the Lite and will be selling the Lite and going back to the Switch, the bigger screen and the ability to remove the Joycons are a big plus for me..
I get why Nintendo left video output off of the switch light. like you already said, it would cannibalize the sales of the OG switch, and on top of that, that technology is considerably more expensive
Love my lite! OG was too big for me to hold for long durations but the lite was perfect. It’s also more comfortable to hold than my vita. Too bad the e-shop sucks though.
I purchased both, I got back into playing nintendo again, legend of zelda breath of the wild, links awakening, mario kart, hyrule warriors, smash Bros and so on, especially being able to play Witcher 3 and dark souls remastered on the go, prices are all still high but I don't mind paying 40 50 or 60 for all the great games
I got a coral switch light for animal crossing a week ago and absolutely love it. Main difference is that you can't dock it so can't play on the TV- I'm in no way a gamer so not a deal breaker for me. This has definitely turned out to be one of those things that you don't know you NEED until you get one. Playing tons of games and filling this one under personal care 😃
hi! I'm gonna late i know😅 but hoping u'll still respond n help me out anyway I'm planning to surprise my lil bro a lite ver now for his 11thbday I'm on a tight budget but still worrying about the infamous joycon drift, do u think should I be worry about it n just go w/ the normal? how's the status rn of ur lite joycon now? thanks in advance, have a great day!
Anthony Wright I'm waiting to receive mine 2-3 days, I already have PS4 but grew up on NINTENDO & miss MARIO, ZELDA, ETC, so 1st PARTY NINTENDO games are what I plan on playn on LITE, glad your enjoying your SWITCH LITE & I'm looking forward to playing mine!!!!
@@muffinmeower sometimes things doesn't happen on purpose?! can't tell me that you never had your accidents in life that made you look like a total idiot... fact is that It's easily toasted and that's a flaw! also think about kids (the main target of this console) I'm pretty sure it's not too rare that things like this happen with them tho most of them don't think that far and when mom calls for dinner they throw it on the heater and it already happened🤷♂️
I get why they didn't make the Switch Lite dockable. Not only to cut costs, but because making it dockable would result in a lot more people buying the Lite instead of the regular switch. If it was dockable, you could even play games that rely on the joy-cons.
Both of the options of good, but I have three other siblings,so the Nintendo switch would work better for everyone, more as a family console. Where the lite is definitely more solo playing, or online playing! But both are good for different uses!
I sold my nintendo switch and got a switch lite and never looked back. I don't miss any of the previous features at all. I play alone and always in handheld. Its lighter for my hands and does exactly what I need for cheaper. No drift so far after about 4 months. I bought a 3 year warranty just in case. Very happy with my purchase!
@@Prfctpersistent omgg didn't expect u'll respond well u see I'm planning to surprise my lil bro a lite for his 11thbday, do u think should be worry about the drift thing? n will it be good version for a little boy kid? thanks much! hope u still respond!
@@josephineoto2641 I think you should go for it. Worst case scenario you do eventually get drift but you can send the console in to be fixed. To be more at peace get the Nintendo Switch online to back up the game saves -- it works on almost all games. That Way you won't have as much worry. But yeah, I'm a year in and again, no problems for me. It's also smaller and cheaper. Easier to carry around and hold for a kid.
@@Prfctpersistent thanks for being so kind to my ques., guess ur reply convince me so I'll go for the lite for my lil bro u'r a great help! hav a great day!!
took me about 6 videos of this channel to finally understand the opener "hey whats up folks this is waj hope you are all doing well and today we are going to.." says it soo fast in this one haha
I bought the the switch about 2 years ago and fell in love with it. I ended up selling it a year later due to losing my job and needing some quick cash. I just bought the switch lite today and I feel like I've regained part of my soul. It's so comfortable, light and feels just right. I was afraid the screen would be too small but after using it for a while I think it's perfect. I bought the Pokemon edition, looks amazing. Can't wait for Animal Crossing New Horizons 🤗
Since in lockdown. I just got a switch lite. I wanted the full regular one, but they were seriously sold out EVERYWHERE online and stores. So im waiting for s-lite to ship to me. Cant wait.
@@mimicthelyric so I ended buying a switch lite for my daughter, also one for me too. It is nice. I enjoy playing on the switch lite. My daughter loves playing the switch lite. We have pokemon sword, sonic racing, DB fighterz, Spyro, crash bandicoot, super Mario deluxe. The games are nice no lag or anything bad. We purchased 2 cheap 20 pro controllers(which do the job just fine) and we got cheap joycons for 40bucks. I also got flip covers for both, and a grip case for me +screen protectors, 2 big carry cases. Now the multi player is VERY difficult on such a small screen. It's still playable though. Would I love to buy the regular switch instead of the lite? Hell yes, cause I'm trying to play it at home with a kid. Since I couldn't find any regular switch, I'm 80%happy playing the lite. Yes with the extras I got I could have purchased the regular one. But again its completely sold out for a while. If u can wait for the regular I would. Possibly a month or two. If your thinking about getting switch lite playing that until u get regular switch, if u want both-that's what I'll be doing. If you are just 1 person where playing on tv doesn't matter, then stay with only the switch lite. The switch lite is a really nice little portable that I'm mostly satisfied with. (Ps gamestop messed up my order with my 2switch lite. I ordered 1 grey and 1 turquoise, they sent me 2 turquoise. If I wanted to return it I would have been waiting over 3weeks for refund and/or exchange. So be cautious of gamestop ordering over internet since their closed in store.)
Yes I know why you're here - you're on a budget I used to be on budget and for the 100$ that you save this sounds not too bad But it is. Listen, even if you're on the go constantly the better choice will always be the classic switch the stuff that comes with it is more than comfortable to use in any situation, the longer battery life, the detachable joycons, the docking station that allows you to play on the TV, the joycon fix that turns your joycons into a gamepad, not to mention the bigger better screen. Taking it outside let me ask you - whats the difference of 3cm? It makes no difference, you would not want to carry this expensive console in your pocket because first even the switch lite is a big console and wont be comfortable so you would definitely want a case for that, second thing is Ive tried playing with detached joycons without the joycon fix and its one hell of a comfortable feature, put your tablet screen on a table and you're perfect. In the last case if you just want something to have fun with and not bother with alot of bullshit because you dont care then go for the lite, but as a universal gamer I went with the classic and it would've been a mistake to take the lite instead. PRO TIP FOR PARENTS: I dont think that this console is fit for a kid because children cannot appreciate the capabilities of this device, its just a toy for them and not the comfortable professional gaming machine that it really is so just visit AliExpress and buy them one of those gameplayers for around 30$ that run somewhat decent classic games and save yourself a fortune.
If you get the joy-consto buy separately for the nintendo switch lite, can you be able to play multiplayer with another person right next to you? Edit: I don't have one yet, and I hope to buy one this year. So this is why I'm asking.
Arielle Hesse theres no point because joy cons cost like $65-$70 and the switch lite costs $200 so at this point your just paying for a regular switch which is normally around $280
both are great but I do prefer the normal switch because it's more customizable & you get way more for the money I'd rather spend a bit more to get all the features that the lite sadly lacks
My only complaint: home screen wallpaper doesn't match console's color. Don't believe what the box shows. You're NOT getting a turquoise background when you turn your turquoise Switch Lite on. Oh well. Not the end of the world.
Well by far the Switch is probably one of the best things Nintendo has ever done. Most of us have our priorities. Whether it’s PlayStation or Xbox or PC or Nintendo. Theirs a few reasons to get the Lite over the regular Switch. If your just looking to dive into some of the old NES games or get your hands on some of Nintendo’s line up. I would 110% get the Switch Lite over the switch if your more of that Xbox guy etc. It’s not expensive and they didn’t sacrifice anything in terms of performance. I bought mine for the $20 bucks a year and all the old NES games I played as a kid, that and Let’s Go Pikachu a remake of Pokémon Yellow. Took about 3 days before I was buying more switch games. Am I missing the TV. Not at the very least. This is just so easy to pick up and it’s a full powered system. Xbox does it’s 4K business on my Television the switch takes me back to the titles I loved as a kid with the couch in recliner mode and a 5.5 inch display in my face. The Switch Lite is defintely going to have a good place in the market. If the Switch Lite was a more of a gameboy or 2DS I wouldn’t be as thrilled. The fact it plays all of the titles you’d want to play makes it’s great buy. Motion control has always been an enhancement since the Wii. It’s kinda like the Kinect. It was fun it got old and that was the end of it. Super Mario party and like 4 other titles will not play or work that great on a Switch Lite. But the Switch Lite does have some Motion control and Nintendo has slowly learned that most people just want the basic controller and any motion enhancement is welcome but not required. Surprisingly shake and aim. Does work on a Switch lite it does have a basic accelerometer and most games are made for handheld mode anyways. On a side note I think the older games or lower resolution games really shine on the smaller screen. The switch was never a powerful device anyways. If you are all Nintendo and nothing else get the Switch. If you just want to play some exclusive titles or the older games get the Lite.
I have the refreshed switch. I love playing in docked but I play in handled more. I can’t decide if I want the lite. I want it because I feel like it would be easier to play in handheld but I also don’t want to loose the ability to dock
What I would say is, for an adult or teenager, go for the switch since you can dock it and it’s portable with a bigger screen. For a child maybe you want to get him/her into gaming go for the switch lite it’s quite child friendly.
One of the downsides to the original is that it's so big and hard to take anywhere. The other downside is that the dock is well known for destroying the screens when either putting it into the dock or removing it.
Respectable! Furthermore, some games are fully compatible with the lite version. Others lack certain features and others aren't compatible at all. This is why I consider lite a bad choice.
I def plan on getting the switch lite as well as 4 games for it. It has everything I need atm in terms of portability, convenience ect. Being a USB-C port charging that's even better cause my phone(Galaxy S9) uses same charger so if need an extra charger if someone happens to the one that comes with Lite I'm covered. I dont have a TV so Lite missing that feature doesnt effect me so not worried about that lol. Great video and info
how come at 2:12 the switch lite seems to have more prominent blacks and greens? is it due to the pixel density, or is it the angle in which the switches are placed?
PC gamer here and I'm considering getting a switch for the games that aren't available for PC like Pokemon or Fire Emblem. I personally think that I would prefer playing it in handheld mode rather than docking it up to a tv. Would buying the lite be the right choice or should I just fork up the extra cash for the full Switch
Roohan Which one is better in your opinion? I gave my original switch to my nephew and was thinking of getting the Switch lite eventually but I've held back from pulling the trigger.
@@NLT31 It depends on you if you enjoy playing those games on tv or not. I comute to work every day 40 minutes by train and lite is much more better for it, its smaller and i can fit it in my pocket(even with case). The only downside is if you have large hands grip is mandatory. If you play mostly on the go and in airmchair with hot tea then its perfect. Its lighter than og switch. Otherwise get OG switch revision 2 with better battery. PS:Last weekend I spent 4 hours playing dragons dogma in WC xD I had to stop when battery died.
Roohan Thanks, that was helpful. I will probably play it mostly portably but I don't tend to bring consoles around much, it's mostly because all my TV ports are taken up and there is a sort of convenience to it. I may just go with the new full size switch.
It is annoying because I want the smaller form factor of the Switch Lite, but not being able to video out is a deal breaker. If only they make a dockable lite even if they are slightly more expensive.
MW technology I have a question about the Nintendo switch lite and the question is about the joy con drift on the nintendo switch lite does that happen a lot on that game system? I am trying to decide which game system to buy. Because i haven't played a nintendo game system since the original game boy you know the one that was grey with the maroon buttons so i wanted get back into the the gaming world but i was worried about joy con drift they have sometimes. i dont want to have fork over a fair amount of money every time the switch lite might have issue with the joy con issue. i was wanting to get a nintendo switch lite mostly because i didn't want to have to take over the tv me and my mom have by always having the regular switch always pluged in and since we only room for one tv in the house we live in. Would the Nintendo switch lite be a perfect fit for me since? i am not a big gamer but i want to get back into playing video games once in a while. but not all the the time.
Hey yo, the switch that has the longer batt life is the v2 or version 2 right? Trying to find one here in the Philippines. I want that grey color scheme.
I was thinking about getting the switch lite but honestly the possibility of the joycons malfunctioning and having to turn in my entire system is what made me pick the regular switch. I know it’s possible the joycons on the regular switch can mess up but at least if it came down to it I could replace those easy! It comes in the mail on tomorrow :)))
Funfact the Switch lite is better than the OG switch. Only cuz it's battery is worse than the lite..but the new revision of the OG switch is the best way to experience the system yet. And I hate it that I have the OG switch with a very bad battery life tbh it's always draining even tho it's not even running a game and in Standby Mode.
To be brutally honest, I only purchased a Switch Lite because I've been hunting down the original during lockdown for weeks and growing frustrated with them being sold out nationwide or being sold for practically double on Ebay and Amazon. But now, I'm excited about because apparently it's really good. 😁
This is an irrelevant comment but, is the A12 Bionic chip in the iPhone XS and Xr more powerful than what’s in the switch, like are the games on the switch rlly rlly optimised orrr??
Question, if I am playing the new animal crossing game on a switch lite and my friend is playing on a regular switch. Can we still “connect” to each other’s islands or play together on other games even though we have different switch consoles?
I really dont like when people are angry that the lite is inferior. Thats kinda the point. Cheaper for the less needy
I think the Switch Lite is a good alternative for people that want to play Nintendo/Switch exclusives but don't want to pay the full price of a regular Switch and of course for people that don't feel the need to/can't play on a TV.

The best comparision i have found on youtube, thank you !
I love how the switch goes to the TV. That large picture just helps for gaming so much. The colours pop and look amazing on a 1080p tv
You can't tell me the lite isn't an advanced version of the PSP lol
a way better
@@winstooonw9072 It doesn't have ratchet and clank, how can it be superior?
@@frostybe3r as a real handheld
@@frostybe3r and I meant its better than psp, not switch, I prefer lite tho
i said the same
I purchased both, I got back into playing nintendo again, legend of zelda breath of the wild, links awakening, mario kart, hyrule warriors, smash Bros and so on, especially being able to play Witcher 3 and dark souls remastered on the go, prices are all still high but I don't mind paying 40 50 or 60 for all the great games
I got a coral switch light for animal crossing a week ago and absolutely love it. Main difference is that you can't dock it so can't play on the TV- I'm in no way a gamer so not a deal breaker for me. This has definitely turned out to be one of those things that you don't know you NEED until you get one. Playing tons of games and filling this one under personal care 😃
hi! I'm gonna late i know😅 but hoping u'll still respond n help me out anyway I'm planning to surprise my lil bro a lite ver now for his 11thbday I'm on a tight budget but still worrying about the infamous joycon drift, do u think should I be worry about it n just go w/ the normal? how's the status rn of ur lite joycon now?
thanks in advance, have a great day!
I feel like putting a switch in your pocket would cause drift
bottom line: neither of these are going to fit in my tiny woman jean pockets :,)
Yeah same :(
Bought a switch light yesterday and I love it so far
Anthony Wright I'm waiting to receive mine 2-3 days, I already have PS4 but grew up on NINTENDO & miss MARIO, ZELDA, ETC, so 1st PARTY NINTENDO games are what I plan on playn on LITE, glad your enjoying your SWITCH LITE & I'm looking forward to playing mine!!!!
@@horror_punk_gamer9932 how did it go?
Just got a switch a few days ago and choose the Switch Refresh. Been using it for youtube and smash. Love the full size.
So you’d still get rumble when using external joycons on the lite??
sanstimbre does tilt work like on MARIO kart lmao
Not on the actual Switch Lite, but with external joycons yes
I love the grey version bro love it
Best comparision I've seen. Ty
Best thing I like about the lite is that it feels sturdier and doesn’t need a grip for it
😋
Yeah agree
so sturdy that one guy's lite melted on a regular heater/radiator whatever you english guys call it
SoulflY 99 why would someone be dumb enough to put a game system on a heater? that’s not the company’s fault, that’s pure idiocy
@@muffinmeower sometimes things doesn't happen on purpose?! can't tell me that you never had your accidents in life that made you look like a total idiot... fact is that It's easily toasted and that's a flaw! also think about kids (the main target of this console) I'm pretty sure it's not too rare that things like this happen with them tho most of them don't think that far and when mom calls for dinner they throw it on the heater and it already happened🤷♂️
This video actually help so much! Can't thank you enough! Definitely getting the lite :))
Also 2:51 the switch lite DOESNT come with blue tooth. You'll need an adapter for that
hey do you know what game he was playing at that time?
Really great in depth video man. Great work, you answered the questions I had.
I get why they didn't make the Switch Lite dockable. Not only to cut costs, but because making it dockable would result in a lot more people buying the Lite instead of the regular switch. If it was dockable, you could even play games that rely on the joy-cons.
Both of the options of good, but I have three other siblings,so the Nintendo switch would work better for everyone, more as a family console. Where the lite is definitely more solo playing, or online playing! But both are good for different uses!
Yep I'm an only child so the Nintendo lite would be good for me
1:23 dudes face 🤣😂😂
Marco V I laughed so hard
I sold my nintendo switch and got a switch lite and never looked back. I don't miss any of the previous features at all. I play alone and always in handheld. Its lighter for my hands and does exactly what I need for cheaper. No drift so far after about 4 months. I bought a 3 year warranty just in case. Very happy with my purchase!
hi! so how's ur lite now? does it drift already? or still fine?
@@josephineoto2641 no drifting it's still in great shape
@@Prfctpersistent omgg didn't expect u'll respond well u see I'm planning to surprise my lil bro a lite for his 11thbday, do u think should be worry about the drift thing? n will it be good version for a little boy kid? thanks much! hope u still respond!
@@josephineoto2641 I think you should go for it. Worst case scenario you do eventually get drift but you can send the console in to be fixed. To be more at peace get the Nintendo Switch online to back up the game saves -- it works on almost all games. That Way you won't have as much worry. But yeah, I'm a year in and again, no problems for me. It's also smaller and cheaper. Easier to carry around and hold for a kid.
@@Prfctpersistent thanks for being so kind to my ques., guess ur reply convince me so I'll go for the lite for my lil bro u'r a great help! hav a great day!!
Defo want the switch!
I just like the *switching* aspect of it.
I have both systems. One for my son, and the lite version for myself. Love both of them. Highly recommended.
today everything i wear is gray too xD
I will buy the Switch Lite, for me its a better Choice overall, thank you for the Video
You also forgot to mention, the Switch Lite lacks HD Rumble, but both have Amiibo support.
took me about 6 videos of this channel to finally understand the opener "hey whats up folks this is waj hope you are all doing well and today we are going to.."
says it soo fast in this one haha
I bought the the switch about 2 years ago and fell in love with it. I ended up selling it a year later due to losing my job and needing some quick cash.
I just bought the switch lite today and I feel like I've regained part of my soul.
It's so comfortable, light and feels just right.
I was afraid the screen would be too small but after using it for a while I think it's perfect.
I bought the Pokemon edition, looks amazing.
Can't wait for Animal Crossing New Horizons 🤗

My sleep paralysis friend: 1:23
satturnny LOOOOOL
Since in lockdown. I just got a switch lite. I wanted the full regular one, but they were seriously sold out EVERYWHERE online and stores. So im waiting for s-lite to ship to me. Cant wait.
Was it good? I was saving money for switch but the lite version came out. Now I have enough money for both so what should I get? I want ur opinion ofc
@@mimicthelyric so I ended buying a switch lite for my daughter, also one for me too. It is nice. I enjoy playing on the switch lite. My daughter loves playing the switch lite. We have pokemon sword, sonic racing, DB fighterz, Spyro, crash bandicoot, super Mario deluxe. The games are nice no lag or anything bad. We purchased 2 cheap 20 pro controllers(which do the job just fine) and we got cheap joycons for 40bucks. I also got flip covers for both, and a grip case for me +screen protectors, 2 big carry cases.
Now the multi player is VERY difficult on such a small screen. It's still playable though.
Would I love to buy the regular switch instead of the lite? Hell yes, cause I'm trying to play it at home with a kid. Since I couldn't find any regular switch, I'm 80%happy playing the lite. Yes with the extras I got I could have purchased the regular one. But again its completely sold out for a while.
If u can wait for the regular I would. Possibly a month or two. If your thinking about getting switch lite playing that until u get regular switch, if u want both-that's what I'll be doing. If you are just 1 person where playing on tv doesn't matter, then stay with only the switch lite. The switch lite is a really nice little portable that I'm mostly satisfied with.
(Ps gamestop messed up my order with my 2switch lite. I ordered 1 grey and 1 turquoise, they sent me 2 turquoise. If I wanted to return it I would have been waiting over 3weeks for refund and/or exchange. So be cautious of gamestop ordering over internet since their closed in store.)
Great comparation thanks
Pretty nice upload fam! Keep the grind strong!
Yes I know why you're here - you're on a budget
I used to be on budget and for the 100$ that you save this sounds not too bad
But it is.
Listen, even if you're on the go constantly the better choice will always be the classic switch
the stuff that comes with it is more than comfortable to use in any situation, the longer battery life, the detachable
joycons, the docking station that allows you to play on the TV, the joycon fix that turns your joycons into a gamepad, not to mention the bigger better screen. Taking it outside let me ask you - whats the difference of 3cm? It makes no difference, you would not want to carry this expensive console in your pocket because first even the switch lite is a big console and wont be comfortable so you would definitely want a case for that, second thing is Ive tried playing with detached joycons without the joycon fix and its one hell of a comfortable feature, put your tablet screen on a table and you're perfect.
In the last case if you just want something to have fun with and not bother with alot of bullshit because you dont care then go for the lite, but as a universal gamer I went with the classic and it would've been a mistake to take the lite instead.
PRO TIP FOR PARENTS: I dont think that this console is fit for a kid because children cannot appreciate the capabilities of this device, its just a toy for them and not the comfortable professional gaming machine that it really is so just visit AliExpress and buy them one of those gameplayers for around 30$ that run somewhat decent classic games and save yourself a fortune.
It seems like joy con drift is more prevalent on the OG Switch then the New Switch and Switch Lite.
Or buy a Nintendo 2ds
Thanks man i really needed this informative review
Im getting a switch lite but I'm gonna get it late becasue of quarantine
Me too lol
Same just ordered will have to wait ages
Ordered mine on amazon came within a week
I got mines during quarantine
I'm getting mine in 3 days
If you get the joy-consto buy separately for the nintendo switch lite, can you be able to play multiplayer with another person right next to you?
Edit: I don't have one yet, and I hope to buy one this year. So this is why I'm asking.
Arielle Hesse theres no point because joy cons cost like $65-$70 and the switch lite costs $200 so at this point your just paying for a regular switch which is normally around $280
Switch:lmao you suck
Lite:well you made a mistake
Switch:?
Lite:who needs to switch to TV when you have a Xbox or ps4
Switch......
my dad owns a ps4 and I have a switch and when my dad doesn't play I play on the tv lol
Wait,i dont have theese
Oh god i made a cringe comment
both are great but I do prefer the normal switch because it's more customizable & you get way more for the money I'd rather spend a bit more to get all the features that the lite sadly lacks
My only complaint: home screen wallpaper doesn't match console's color.
Don't believe what the box shows. You're NOT getting a turquoise background when you turn your turquoise Switch Lite on. Oh well. Not the end of the world.
yes beings how you won't SEE your home screen wen your going to be to busy PLAYING a game.........
Well by far the Switch is probably one of the best things Nintendo has ever done. Most of us have our priorities. Whether it’s PlayStation or Xbox or PC or Nintendo. Theirs a few reasons to get the Lite over the regular Switch. If your just looking to dive into some of the old NES games or get your hands on some of Nintendo’s line up. I would 110% get the Switch Lite over the switch if your more of that Xbox guy etc.
It’s not expensive and they didn’t sacrifice anything in terms of performance. I bought mine for the $20 bucks a year and all the old NES games I played as a kid, that and Let’s Go Pikachu a remake of Pokémon Yellow. Took about 3 days before I was buying more switch games.
Am I missing the TV. Not at the very least. This is just so easy to pick up and it’s a full powered system. Xbox does it’s 4K business on my Television the switch takes me back to the titles I loved as a kid with the couch in recliner mode and a 5.5 inch display in my face.
The Switch Lite is defintely going to have a good place in the market.
If the Switch Lite was a more of a gameboy or 2DS I wouldn’t be as thrilled. The fact it plays all of the titles you’d want to play makes it’s great buy.
Motion control has always been an enhancement since the Wii. It’s kinda like the Kinect. It was fun it got old and that was the end of it. Super Mario party and like 4 other titles will not play or work that great on a Switch Lite. But the Switch Lite does have some Motion control and Nintendo has slowly learned that most people just want the basic controller and any motion enhancement is welcome but not required. Surprisingly shake and aim. Does work on a Switch lite it does have a basic accelerometer and most games are made for handheld mode anyways.
On a side note I think the older games or lower resolution games really shine on the smaller screen. The switch was never a powerful device anyways.
If you are all Nintendo and nothing else get the Switch. If you just want to play some exclusive titles or the older games get the Lite.
I have the refreshed switch. I love playing in docked but I play in handled more. I can’t decide if I want the lite. I want it because I feel like it would be easier to play in handheld but I also don’t want to loose the ability to dock
you should probably get a grip
Kermigga I brought both 🥳🥳
THE POET thank you and yes. Love it
3:27 respect for the olympic bar calluses
I’d like to point out that he is wearing a PS4 hat.
Thank you.
GAMING WITH ACE first thing I noticed, too. But you know , it’s grey , and game related 🤷♀️
Ma5
what game were u playing around 1:22?? looks dope
Nintendo forgot to improve the crappy WiFi chip on the new version. Shame.
They should really used QUALCOMM cpu and gpu
What I would say is, for an adult or teenager, go for the switch since you can dock it and it’s portable with a bigger screen.
For a child maybe you want to get him/her into gaming go for the switch lite it’s quite child friendly.
One of the downsides to the original is that it's so big and hard to take anywhere. The other downside is that the dock is well known for destroying the screens when either putting it into the dock or removing it.
Family is everything so I need the normal switch
Respectable!
Furthermore, some games are fully compatible with the lite version. Others lack certain features and others aren't compatible at all. This is why I consider lite a bad choice.
Moreover, joycon drift is still a thing so you have to send the whole console to service. With the original switch, you can just change joycons.
Have both! But the switch lite is my favorite. I use it more and it's more portable on the go. I leave my regular switch at home
Is that an Nintendo lite in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?!.
That's from wolfden
BiG JUicE who?..
It's a quote from a UA-camr who reviewed the switch lite
BiG JUicE no idea whom that is.. but I’m sure it’s been said many times before.. as it’s play of words from another phrase.
Well mabey if your dumbass looked it up you would know
I def plan on getting the switch lite as well as 4 games for it. It has everything I need atm in terms of portability, convenience ect. Being a USB-C port charging that's even better cause my phone(Galaxy S9) uses same charger so if need an extra charger if someone happens to the one that comes with Lite I'm covered. I dont have a TV so Lite missing that feature doesnt effect me so not worried about that lol. Great video and info
The stuff you said about the d pad is backwards. The plus shape dpad is better for fighting games and more people in general prefer that
how come at 2:12 the switch lite seems to have more prominent blacks and greens? is it due to the pixel density, or is it the angle in which the switches are placed?
Where would be a good place to buy a switch from? Who has the best deals?
@iiMxdnight Breeze Thanks ! But there are no gamestops in Australia😁
eBay
@iiMxdnight Breeze okay thanks
@SuperMario Logan Thanks.
Just get it new from Best Buy or someplace like that, I wouldn’t recommend buying new from eBay for the same price
I’m so happy I’m getting mine in 2 days that’s why I’m trying to watch these reviews before I actually lay my hands on them but I can’t wait 😁
Who on earth prefers the Switch's 4 separate buttons to a dpad? I've never heard that
I prefer the 4 buttons because it serves as a separate controller (both joycons being able to be used individually)
If Nintendo never thought of that idea, the left joycon would probably have a regular D pad
PC gamer here and I'm considering getting a switch for the games that aren't available for PC like Pokemon or Fire Emblem. I personally think that I would prefer playing it in handheld mode rather than docking it up to a tv. Would buying the lite be the right choice or should I just fork up the extra cash for the full Switch
I've been loving my Nintendo switch lite so much better for me, since I dont care about doc mode more portable I love it.
Enjoy your drift😉
will it be able to make screen recordings, in the future upgrades? from what i understand , it can only record 30 seconds...
Similarities: they both like Tokyo Drift #StickDrift
I have both switches and never expirienced any ind of drift.
I never experienced drift with my OG switch. Maybe try calibrating your sticks
Roohan Which one is better in your opinion? I gave my original switch to my nephew and was thinking of getting the Switch lite eventually but I've held back from pulling the trigger.
@@NLT31 It depends on you if you enjoy playing those games on tv or not. I comute to work every day 40 minutes by train and lite is much more better for it, its smaller and i can fit it in my pocket(even with case). The only downside is if you have large hands grip is mandatory. If you play mostly on the go and in airmchair with hot tea then its perfect. Its lighter than og switch. Otherwise get OG switch revision 2 with better battery.
PS:Last weekend I spent 4 hours playing dragons dogma in WC xD I had to stop when battery died.
Roohan Thanks, that was helpful. I will probably play it mostly portably but I don't tend to bring consoles around much, it's mostly because all my TV ports are taken up and there is a sort of convenience to it. I may just go with the new full size switch.
awesome vid! really nice to watch and contains everything i wanted to know!
My problem with the switch is just how expensive the games are for the acceptable graphics that you get. Games should cost at the most $30 not $60.

It is annoying because I want the smaller form factor of the Switch Lite, but not being able to video out is a deal breaker. If only they make a dockable lite even if they are slightly more expensive.

I have a question about the Nintendo switch lite and the question is about the joy con drift on the nintendo switch lite does that happen a lot on that game system? I am trying to decide which game system to buy. Because i haven't played a nintendo game system since the original game boy you know the one that was grey with the maroon buttons so i wanted get back into the the gaming world but i was worried about joy con drift they have sometimes. i dont want to have fork over a fair amount of money every time the switch lite might have issue with the joy con issue. i was wanting to get a nintendo switch lite mostly because i didn't want to have to take over the tv me and my mom have by always having the regular switch always pluged in and since we only room for one tv in the house we live in. Would the Nintendo switch lite be a perfect fit for me since? i am not a big gamer but i want to get back into playing video games once in a while. but not all the the time.
Is that a switch in your pocket or are you happy to see me!?
Hey yo, the switch that has the longer batt life is the v2 or version 2 right? Trying to find one here in the Philippines. I want that grey color scheme.
I was thinking about getting the switch lite but honestly the possibility of the joycons malfunctioning and having to turn in my entire system is what made me pick the regular switch. I know it’s possible the joycons on the regular switch can mess up but at least if it came down to it I could replace those easy! It comes in the mail on tomorrow :)))
I never had that issue with either Switch. I'm pretty gentle with the controls, though.
My suggestion: even smaller models of Nintendo Switch Lite:
* Nintendo Switch Pocket (4.8'')
* Nintendo Switch Micro (4.1'')
Funfact the Switch lite is better than the OG switch. Only cuz it's battery is worse than the lite..but the new revision of the OG switch is the best way to experience the system yet. And I hate it that I have the OG switch with a very bad battery life tbh it's always draining even tho it's not even running a game and in Standby Mode.
I really want to get a handheld. Havent owned a nintendo products since the gameboy colour, are all the joysticks on these faulty?
I fear the controller drift too much to do the "sidegrade"
To be brutally honest, I only purchased a Switch Lite because I've been hunting down the original during lockdown for weeks and growing frustrated with them being sold out nationwide or being sold for practically double on Ebay and Amazon. But now, I'm excited about because apparently it's really good. 😁
It's worth it huh? I am very happy to have my original Nintendo Switch (not Lite model) since June of 2018. Welcome to the Nintendo Switch family
Wait, my friend doesn’t have a TV but he has a regular switch, XD
Lol
Wait.. no tv? Damn he be livin under a rock
Pedro Waffles he moved to a new house and got a tv now because his old one broke.

Then he gay
This is an irrelevant comment but, is the A12 Bionic chip in the iPhone XS and Xr more powerful than what’s in the switch, like are the games on the switch rlly rlly optimised orrr??
