    For people who may be watching this an worry about “joycon drift”, an issue where the joysticks’ central position can shift and affect the reliability of the console; since you cannot simply replace the affected stick by changing tithe the left or right joycon on a regular Switch.
    I own four Switch consoles. My original 2016 release, a Switch OLED, a Switch Lite and a limited edition Zelda Switch OLED (I know, but that TOTK theme was too pretty). I also have several other sets of joycons I’ve bought.
    After over at least thousand hours of gaming across all of these devices I have never once encountered drift with my sticks. I may have simply been lucky or perhaps it’s because I treat my hardware with respect? Either way, try not to make it concern you too much. Like with many things nowadays, I feel it’s blown out of proportion online because some people just want to hate on the system.
    The Lite is a superb little handheld and very comfortable to play on. If I’m going away it’s definitely my system of choice. Even at home, it’s slightly smaller and lighter form factor make it more comfortable to play for me than a full size Switch. At £200 it’s a steal, especially the new Animal Crossing bundle as you essentially get a free game which is super fun and adorable in equal measure.

      I second this! I worried about this a lot before getting my Switch lite, but 2 years later and I have no issues with it. Even IF it were to occur, they do offer free repair of joy con drifts (even if your warranty has expired). The only downside is that you can't play while your device is shipped off on repair, but a few days off the Switch is not the end of the world.

    • @DonJarvius
      @DonJarvius 7 місяців тому

      I got my switch four years ago now and of my 3 joycons that I’ve had, only one of them have gotten drift, and even then it was after over 3 years of playtime. It is not as big of an issue as it seems (especially since I was able to just send it in to Nintendo for FREE and get it fixed within the week).

    I got the lite back in January. It was loads of fun in the beginning but after awhile I realised the screen is just too small. Now I'm thinking about upgrading to OLED, however there's a slim chance that Nintendo next year finally decides to make an official announcement about the switch 2 so I'm really trying my best not to get an OLED lol

      I say wait a little while longer. If a new console will be released than you'll have to see if it's backwards compatible.

    something nobody mentions - you basically have to be in the dark to use it. ANY light behind/above you results in a gaming session on a mirror, it's borderline unusable during the day. BUT, in the right lighting conditions, it's totally fun. Worth the money if you're indoors all day, for everyone else probably not

    I was not going to buy a switch I was happy with my 3ds but last week I fell asleep with a popsicle next to me and it melted right on top of my 3ds and messed it up bad. I was going to buy a used 3ds but then realized they are more expensive than a brand new switch! I just ordered a switch lite with the mega man battle network collection. I'm super excited and now I'm looking forward to paper mario TTYD coming out in 2 months. Plus playing mario odyssey and kirby and the forgotten land. I should have pulled the trigger sooner. I didn't realize how inexpensive the switch lite was!

    Just bought the NS lite 2023 animal crossing edition but in teal colorway with free physical game included. In my opinion if someone is just buying any nintendo switch in 2023, choose the model that recently released like these animal crossing switch lite version and the oled mario edition, for the reason that you'll have a peace of mind knowing that the hardware inside your console are built in the 2nd/3rd quarter of 2023. Everything isn't stale in short, like the battery is not sitting for years inside the console like the early colorways of the switch lites, that way I think you're giving yourself a real bang for the buck 👌
    My switch lite is consistently giving me a little over 3hours of gameplay in DB figherz, Resident Evil Revelation, Diablo 3 while being connected to wifi, 8bitdo lite 2 controller, Bluetooth speakers or earbuds (depends on my gaming mood).

    1:38 It can, kinda. If you install a mod chip and use sys DVR you can mirror your display to your laptop over USB with pretty serviceable image quality . Switch modding isn't just for piracy, I'm actually commenting this from my switch rn. Soldering a mod chip to a lite is actually fairly easy for someone who has experience soldering. A rp2040 tiny is 3 bucks and getting it installed at your local repair shop will probably go for 20 to 60 bucks if their cool with it. Modchips are definitely a must have after warranty ends (even v1's should all get chips imo cause 2040cores are 10 bucks. Just sayin

Is it normal or i got the bad switch? It feels different compare to xbox controller i can use the joystick without worrying, but when i use the switch joystick it just feel that it won't last long because it's too soft and jiggle , but it's responsive. So i feel weird about this joystick.please anyone answer me, sorry for my bad english, thank you

    Switch Lite makes it redundant to buy the actual Nintendo Switch. As someone who games primarily on PC, owning a Nintendo console would be a waste of money. Plus, handhelds have always been the only good thing about Nintendo and it's nice to keep the nostalgia factor as someone who grew up with the Gameboy/Gameboy Advance/Nintendo DSi/2DS.
