    Still want a switch lite oled. Better battery, better cooling system, larger stretched screen, etc. I love the switch lite is one whole piece compared to the regular switch. I also hope for purple and/or lavender version at some point too. I kind of wish the thumb sticks weren't modeled after the joycons of the switch. But it was probably cheaper than making a separate thumb sticks just made for switch lite

    I love the switch lite!
    Ive bought 5 switch lites on the secondary market for my myself, my kids and my niece and nephew. I wait for good deals or damaged systems since the switch is relatively repair friendly.
    I managed to snag a switch lite for 40usd! It needed new joysticks and a full shell and lcd/digitizer replacement, but even with all those components, it still only cost me half what a new one would and now it has a sweet transparent shell and hall effect joysticks that will never drift!

    It seems like Nintendo is never going to make a successor for 3DS. And everyone else is trying to make their own Switch, instead of unique handheld system.
    If 3DS can't have have a successor, then why can't we have a new handheld challenger, like Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket or Wonderswan? Seriously, I want to play any potential new Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Owl House, Digimon and even Skylanders games on a handheld system.

      It's up to you. If you can wait till the next system comes out then just wait but most likely (just my speculation) the new Nintendo system would be backwards compatible with Switch games so you can buy a Switch now and then sell the system when the new console comes out.

    there's a reason they released the Switch Lite right around the time 3DS support was dropped. They were aiming at selling to those handheld customers, a device closer to that form factor and portability the OG Switch doesn't deliver.
    I myself went straight to the Lite from 3DS. Not so sure if i would get a Switch if they didnt relase the Lite model. OG model is just not that good for handheld mode.
