They didn't lie, though. They said they wouldn't announce any new hardware at E3. They didn't. This is a month later. They definitely wanted to wait.
Exactly I see a lot of people complaining about how Nintendo lied but like they didn’t
@@Hi-uv7nn Yeah. It's silly. Literally all they said was they didn't want to announce any new hardware at E3. They never even intimated that they weren't making it. They specifically went out of their way to say they wanted the news focus of E3 to be on the 2019 software lineup, but that they're always working on ideas for new hardware. Besides.. no one seems to mention or realize this, but LITERALLY none of the supposed "leaks" were real anyway. All of the images "leaked" were fakes and some of them were even several years old and stolen from people musing about future Switch redesigns right at launch.
They pulled a sneaky on us
Ah, I didn’t catch that technicality.
We never should have fallen for the bluff. There’s a new Pokemon game on the way, of course they’re going to offer a cheaper option for kids.
www.tweaktown.com/news/64620/nintendo-planning-new-switch-model/index.html
"In a recent interview with Sankei Shimbun,
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa stands by the 20 million Switch
sales target while also confirming new models and MSRP drops haven't
been considered yet. "[20 million sales] is a number that is fairly
large and achievable. We will keep the target. The main focus of sales
now is Switch, and so far we have not thought about successor models and
price cuts."

I remember back when the color options came out and instead of just "grey" they called it "space grey".
Arlo, if you haven't, turn down your brightness in handheld mode. I feel that a lot of people don't consider brightness when talking about battery life, but it makes a huge difference.
fo sho
Same reason my cell phone battery lasts so long, lower that brightness and use manual brightness control, saves a lot of power. As does turning off data when not using it, and obviously leaving the gps and bluetooth turned off when not needed.
Also turn wifi and bluetooth off when not playing online of something. That saves a TON of battery
I usually keep my screen brightness up to half or below on my phone and switch. But even for my switch it last only about 2-3hrs Max and it kinda sucks cause I like to go out and play with friends on the go alot
I put airplane mode with the lowest brightness and I get 4 hours on botw
I’m just glad that they’ve gone back to better naming. Lite sounds 10 times better than “NEW” or “Mini”.
Gone back? They never named it either of those things.

Removing the rumble is also a big move to save batter life. Nothing sucks your power faster than moving parts.
Should be an option to disable rumble instead, so you can have it available if you want.
But switch lite owners won't be able to stick it up their ass to much effect.

Just thought I'd mention it but the fact that they are releasing Link's Awakening on the same day is going to boost sales plus I bet they release a Link's Awakening version of the Switch Lite.
They probably would've already announced such.
can't believe not many people have been mentioning this!
Problem is, this is Nintendo... As often as they do shocking things that end up being revolutionary, they DON'T do obvious no-brainers or do them way past the time a reasonable person would expect.

Its totally intentional, remember, the original Switch released with a Zelda game at launch too. In fact, its so perfect, the _small_ swich _remake_ comes with a _remake_ of a _smaller_ zelda game.

“ 6.5 hours just sitting on the home menu” airplane mode, dark theme, brightness on 0

If Nintendo DS and 3ds taught me anything; is that they won't stop at two versions
Faketendo swatch My man speaking the truth here
The DS's alternative versions are great
That’s been going on since the original Gameboy. There’s been 2-3 versions of every handheld since then.
New Switch Lite Pro
They won't even stop at keeping the gimmicks that gave it a name either... At least the 2ds had two screens.... Or did it?
I'm super glad Nintendo is using adult actors in their switch ads. Because as a kid, I was more attracted to products that adults were using in ads, cos if a kid was using it my false sense of maturity would kick in and say "wow I don't wanna use a BABY (product)". And of course the new ads help combat the old "Nintendo is for kids" mindset that so many people still have. Overall it was a very good decision
Yeah, people shouldn’t be saying Nintendo was for kids. The only reason people say that is because it was a marketing decision during the fall of the video games, and Nintendo put their new console in the kids isle and not the electronics. That’s the main reason people think that. There’s also the cartoony thing, but you see adults playing fortnite. Nintendo for kids is mostly the reason we are playing video games today.
They still talk like we were 5 in the Nintendo Directs.

@@reiverdaemon "Upscaler Chip" is bs. But yes, it probably wont be able to be overclocked. Also: The fans aint most deffinitly gonna be as strong as those from switch. So its gonna be quite difficulty to make a switch out of switch mini
They cant add docking capabilities with homebrew. There will be no Video output on a hardware level. You cant solve that with software.
Switch: Let's have a gimmick that we can be a home console AND a portable
Switch Lite: How about no
Switch Lite : You fool! They're not ready for it quite yet!

I am so excited for the switch lite my birthday is on August 10 and I have enough money to buy it
I can make my Switch battery last around 4 hours usually, even in games like Zelda, since I always turn on airplane mode and adjust the brightness.
What I don't get is, maybe you would know why? why don't Nintendo give you or sell separately a powerbank, that can attach in a nifty way to the handheld so when your battery is dead or dying you can attach it, leave it for an hour or whatever in your bag and it'll recharge it on the go, having a set up where you charge your for example Lite and the power bank at the same time, (while attached) would be a great selling point, also if you turned up somewhere, a friend's house or cafe whatever and you had already uset your power bank to recharge the device you could charge your powerbank back up while there, instead of having to plug in your actual device. Or something like phone's, a protective case that has a built-in power bank.

@JAMESON DUNCAN Well he has to buy a system and the games either way. Not sure why he needed another controller, as the regular Switch comes with Joycons. The only thing he'll be saving is the $100 on the system, but he could've found a used regular Switch for $200 or less.
Tbh people complaining about “a switch that doesn’t switch” I just think of the “switch” as name of the system, not necessarily it’s function. Like if you play a 1 player game on the wii you could argue “oh this game is on a system meant for family play, it’s called wii! not me!” Switch is now franchised to the name of the console not it’s function. Plus what else would they call it? The games for the system are called Switch games, they can’t take the word “Switch” out of the Lite’s name or people will get confused and think switch games don’t work on the lite.
TL;DR Switch is just a name

@@thelastdragon5551 the thing is fine, I don't get why people dislike it, they can just get a normal switch
Chuk Uzosike So you side with me and OP. Cool.
Now we need a Switch XL, that's permanently docked, and has 4 joy cons.
Permanately docked is most dumbest shit I have heard for the Switch. I'm sorry to say.
No joke, I would like that. My Switch is already always docked, so more controllers (and hopefully more processing power) sounds like a good deal.
basically the PS4 version of the switch
A permanently docked version of the Switch would make sense for a family with a living room TV and a bunch of kids with Switch lites. Cloud sync would ensure everyone can still play their games both handheld and on the go. And it would make sure the “console” on the TV is always available.
@@guthetanuki256 true if they make that I will not buy it I am new to Nintendo and might get the switch so yeah I am also new to handheld gaming

JoeBroShow to be honest this monstrosity that replaced d pad for joy cons is still better than the pro controller's d pad. And the one used for switch light looks very similar to pro controller's.

Despite the joke I made earlier, I think it will be a successful system. Primarily because families who want multiple Switches will be able to do that much cheaper.
Much Cheaper?? It’s $100 diff, not exactly crazy.
Magikazam I guess it’s perspective. The lite version just seems like a newer psp, can’t play with others unless they have one sitting next to you, compared to the normal switch.

I feel like they're hesitant about advertising specifically to kids because of the Wii U, and the marketing flop that was.
The switch marketing is the best I've seen for a console since the 90s, kids never think something is cool if it's advertised as "kiddy" and they want what the older kids have, and older audiences are alienated by advertisements showing mostly kids, so using young adults basically allows them to say it's for everyone

Nintendo:"Not replacing 3DS"
Also Nintendo:"No more 1st party titles coming to 3DS"
Im gettin mixed messages Nintendudes
It’s Nintendo’s way of letting the 3DS die without angering 3DS consumers. I mean, think about how some people would react if Nintendo straight-up said, “Yeah, the 3DS is dead. We’re done with it. You should buy a Switch!” It’d be like when Sega said, “The Saturn is not our future.” Even though that was totally true, it was still a slap in the face for those who were invested in the Saturn.
Nintendo did something similar with the GBA when the DS launched. Back then, they said that the DS wasn’t replacing the GBA. What they were doing was testing out the viability of the new DS while keeping their foot in the door with the already successful GBA. That way, if the DS flopped, they could have gone back to the GameBoy line without major problems.

You’re very right about the price drop getting people to finally buy a Switch. My coworker has been going on about how bad she wants a Switch but doesn’t want to drop $300, and when I told her about the Lite she freaked, she’s gonna get one as soon as she can.

@@Nicholasryan17 Because you don't always need a TV to play video games brah.
Honestly while having it on the big screen is great at times I play mine 80% handheld but I already have the og so I'll wait for the pro and see what that's brings
also, now all we need is a 3DS game cart adapter for the switch to put that final nail in the coffin
I might actually get a switch if that happens
just turn the screen sideways and mount the joycons near one end. both have an arm processor after all and I'm sure the rest of it is powerful enough to emulate the graphics
I actually thought there was a chance they might include a 3ds slot on the lite. It makes sense when you remember that every other Nintendo handheld since... forever, has been compatible with the previous generation. Every one of their handhelds has at least worked with one generation past. This is the one that breaks that tradition. Well, it is what it is.
What will make or break it I think is how rugged it is. The original Switch is pretty fragile, especially for kids. The lite will have to be able to take a little more abuse if it's gonna take it's place the the Game Boy/DS/3ds family tree. Without the joycons as a fail point that should help a lot, but we'll see.I hope they're using better sticks too, cause if they're similar to the ones in joycons there will be some pissed off lite owners when they get drift and have to replace or open up a whole console to fix it instead of a controller.
Either way it's going to sell like fucking crazy at Xmas this year. Especially if they do a Pokémon bundle. Probably be this year's "hot item", and I'm sure there will be "shortages" as these things usually go.
And a Wii U disk reader adapter

not to mention how cramped your hands will be playing doom on this, my thumb hurts just playing it on the normal switch

Switch: I’m a home console and a portable
Nintendo: Wait, say that again
Switch: I’m a home console?
Nintendo: No the other thing
Switch: I’m a portable
Nintendo: yeah that’s it! We’ll make a smaller version of you that’s only portable and more affordable
Switch: 🙃
Switch Lite: "Why do you look confused?"
@Ash you could probably get the switch lite for cheaper on sale as well
@Ash That's really not that hard to do these days..
It's not that confusing. It's a great option, especially for households with multiple Switch players. I bought a full Switch for each of my uncle's three kids - a Switch Lite would have been perfect for some of them instead.
Considering that they stopped making 3DS games having a new, less expensive handheld makes a lot of sense. If you are questioning why it exists then you are not the target. I miss my 3ds, it was so convenient and had a great battery life. I can see this as something for homes with two kids into games.
I was planning on getting a switch and I gotta say, I'm kinda tempted by the switch lite
Edit: Now I'm worried that a Switch Pro would be a TV only console that cannot switch, leaving the original as the middle ground between fully docked and fully handheld.
Do not get the light... You WILL have joystick drift and they are part of your console
@@Mike-jf5ip i have one and it's perfectly fine. as long as you're not too rough with it as, in people who play it till max capacity, you should be okay
@@dreamclub9830 regular joy cond drift gently or not. Its hardware not your too rough kinda issue. Its a matter if being lucky or not if the sensor gets scratched. My 3rd pair is drifting a few months after warranty wore out. I dont get expensive things often I take very good care of such products
I think Arlo is the only UA-camr that can say he's a marsupial and I was actually ready to believe him
Its canon
"Switch Lite not a replacement for 3DS"
Come on, you even stopped producing games for the 3DS
If it's not a replacement for the 3DS
Then make some more 3DS games!
Yeah. I love the 3DS. I've bought several games for it released in 2018 and 2019. I wish it would get more in the future. But I'm not dillusional. It's clearly dead. I can't find any evidence of any new games still in the pipeline; Nintendo or third party.
I really want the switches to play 3ds games, I think if they made the switch lite compatible with the 3ds games, or a virtual console many people will think of upgrading.
upgrading? its a switch with no doc or detachable joy cons why would they have an exclusive feature to something that’s gonna have less sales
Type Masters I think it is a good idea to have it as a replacement for 3ds
need more ports
I hope Nintendo makes a translucent variant like Funtastic N64 or Atomic Purple GBC.
Oooo, yes!
Sweet mercy, yes please!
Pass
Arlo you should get the battery checked out, mine’s a fair bit longer
I get like 4 hours out of Smash Bros
Yeah, i get 3 hours on almost all AAA titles just by reducing brightness by 10%. Indie games usually 4-5 depending. I have never had a game drain my battery that quickly.
I played 5 hours of Skyrim before charging this weekend on mine
@Vagabond-Savant The Autodidact-Serviette seriouslllyy they have to fix that. I need a new pair and this will be my 4th pair just because of the left one! They are so expensive I have to choose working controllers over a game and this choice is only a few times a year if even
I’m sticking to my REGULAR switch :)
Same here
Same
Same. Literally zero reason to get this thing unless it’s for a young kid or someone who only wants handheld and doesn’t have a Switch.
I really only play my Switch in handheld mode so I'm getting one of these. I think I've only used it docked like 3 times since I got it last Christmas.
By the way I just got mine last month.
Arlo is a kangaroo confirmed:
-Big awkward hands
-Pockets (sometimes)
Once Arlo mentioned his marsupial pouch, I realized that I really want a 30 minute video of the logistics of Arlo’s species.
(That’s a joke, Arlo is a totally normal person.)
What do you mean he is a totally normal person ? I mean... he is blue ... and furry
OrangeClosetLight He’s a puppet.
@@DryPaperHammerBro what are puppets?
Carl Williams that’s like saying Kermit the Frog is a puppet. Arlo, a puppet... that’s so silly
Little does people know, he is a Sawk that failed his training and threw off his uniform and went to be a Nintendo youtuber.
Nintendo doesnt have an official company representing them on Brazil anymore (since 2015 I think?), so any store who sells Nintendo producs (and a lot dont do it anymore, at all) has to import themselves the products and pay the exorbitant taxes our governament has. No jokes, its 100% for companies and 60% for people. So a Switch on a store here sells for USD 600~ish. Again, no joke.
You can find shady stores who 'import' through Paraguay and skip the taxes selling it for less (abour 400ish USD), but thats beyond the point here.
The point I want to make is that this one will be a 400 USD Switch on Brazil, which is just great. I will finally be able to afford a Switch.
And just so you know, minimum wage (which most of the population lives by) is about 260 USD/month.
That's a steal
@@blue_thingys8813 yup, Brazil's taxes are the reason pretty much anything imported is so damn expensive. Even when its made here by an international company its pricing goes through the roof.
As an example, there was a Chinese company here, Foxconn, producing the iPhone in national soil, so no importantion taxes would hit it. But then again, producing an iPhone in China has a 25%~ lower cost, so why would they make it here right? They started it on 2015 and stopped doing so on 2017. No wonder the Brazilian iPhone is the most expensive in the world. I dont even like Apple to begin with, but thats only to show how business is made.
é eu mesma estou desistindo de tentar comprar um Switch pra mim, eu pensei em pegar o Lite mas sla dps de me aprofundar numa pesquisa, é mais fácil eu esperar mais um tempo até q o Switch abaixe o preço um pouco doq comprar o Lite, mas eu provavelmente nunca vou conseguir comprar, é um gasto mt grande
Here's the thing, Nintendo realized that the main selling point of the "Switch" isnt the fact it can switch. It is the games. The games are why people buy the console.
@@KameKame27 Among other things, sure!
Nice name lelel
@@Taylor_1227_ It's a boy's name too, atleast that's what I keep telling myself.
@jesus barrera I dont play it on my regular Switch because I squeezed all the content out of that game in the first 3 days, so I'm not all that torn up about it. And buying the Lite, and then deciding you want to buy Joycons later doesnt sound all that bad. I have my Switch, I love it, but my Joycons rarely come off the system. I play smash with a Pro controller, but that's about it. And even that, I do in handheld mode most times. And when I dont feel like doing that, i play Smash with Joy cons attached.
I honestly disagree. If it was only about the games, the Wii U would have been a success. I think the marketing is more important for a console to be successful.
6:54 - Arlo, there are things we call 'screen brightness & 'wifi' that you may find useful.
Typically lowering the brightness & turning off the wifi will give you more battery time.
(Not having the sound at max volume/using headphones could help too.)
Why people are angry over this? You can always buy a regular Switch.
Because the vocal portion of Nintendo fans can't handle not being directly pandered to
"Things aren't allowed to be for anyone else, only ME"
I think most people are more bummed that a pro wasn’t revealed alongside the lite. The two cater to two completely different demographics. I’m thrilled that I can now feel comfortable buying one for my nieces and nephews, but it’s not for me. I’d prefer a Switch “Pro.”
@@lrc4263 ever heard of the original switch? who needs 4k all it does is increase costs and waste power
I'm mad because this is the reason why the switch hasn't dropped price.
@@lrc4263 there will be no "pro" version, Nintendo are not like xbox or PlayStation, unless they would make a "new" Nintendo switch with just extra added features lol
Nintendo: Looks like a switch, feels like a switch, it’s a switch.
Everyone else: But it doesn’t switch...
And to them I say, Shut yer Yaps!
Nintendo: we are still supporting the 3ds
Me: where have all the upcoming titles gone
Gone like my dad.
Well I'm poor but I can play multiplayer with my friends that have regular switch.
I bought one today for the first time, got xenoblade Chronicles 3D on the way
Xenoblade chronicles on the 3ds is very fun i am playing through it again after getting for christmas last year the story is amazing
@@cameronrodgers9409 seems like it! Trying to go in blind and not view much about it, the premise is so unique
I feel like they should pull a 3ds and drop the price at least by $50. The Switch lite is like the 2ds was to the 3ds.
I would love that. Switch Lite would be a no-brainer for $150.
They don't need to
I'm feeling that $150 price point
I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually drop the regular & Lite, probably soon before making a New/Pro/XL/whatever
@@matheusbernmias6680 $250 Launch price.
Arlo, how high is your switch brightness? That could be effecting battery life.
I consistently got around 5-6 hours when I played sonic mania with medium brightness
I've never thought about. I keep mine at the highest setting for everything.
The light has longer battery life because it doesn't have joycons to drain the battery. So they basically both have the same battery...the switch just drains more battery life then the light
It also counts on what games you play...when i play diablo 3 ..i only get like 2 hours or 2 and a half. With zelda you could get like 3 to 4 hours
@@victoriaepps8996 Yea same, but the battery hasnt been a big problem for me. Playing Mario Maker on highest brightness undocked gets me 3 hours.
This appeals to people like me who play the Switch in handheld almost exclusively because I am always on the go. (although I already have a Switch and I don't need another one.) I also have small hands, so size doesn't matter.
Same, I’ve got small hands so it works well for me
I got a switch lite because I simply don't need it to dock to a tv. If I want to play a game on my tv, I'll just play on my Xbox because of the better graphics, higher frame rate, and greater processing power.
@@really.rhino12 I have a regular switch and I've only played in docked mode like 3 times, to play smash with some friends for like 30 minutes. Honestly, I should have gone for the lite
Why not release them inthe same colours as the gameboy color for a little nod?
Then later release the transparent version colours! Easy money!
Well doing different colors is also good. Nintendo gets a lot of flack of always playing the nostalgia card
@@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx Don't think a single person would complain if Nintendo did a run of Switch Lites/JoyCons/Pro Controller in the old GBC/N64 Atomic colours. Even more so considering how popular the third party shells that mimic those colours are
At the very least, it should be all the joycon colors lol.
Bun I’m not saying people would complain but I’m also saying that new colors would also be good
if you could use this as a controller on a regular switch (kinda like how smash 3ds functioned with the wii u version) i might go for it
I was wondering the same
Huh. I think there's a good chance. Not sure what would be displayed on the Switch Lite while you're playing this way, but it could happen.
You’re gonna spend 200 on a controller?
The Koopster that would be ridiculous if you got it to use just as a controller but let's say you have a switch and your sibling or friend or whatever has a switch lite and then you could dock your switch and they can use the lite as a controller so you can play together. If you could do this it would be really nice.
I imagine worst case you can do local wireless and still play with everyone, albeit on the lite's screen
Arlo: *uploads weekly*
Nintendo: Here's the Switch Lite
Arlo: *It's time for a crusade*
Deus vult.
I'm dirty dan!
@@MildSatire in your dreams
At my Best Buy I was looking at the Switch Lite’s they had on display (I already own a Switch) and one of the employees came up to me. She told me how certain games ARE compatible and how others aren’t. So I think certain Best Buy’s (or at least the ones near me) are aware.
@cloud’ actually you can add joy cons to the switch like the regular one with multiplyer it would just be really hard on that tiny screen to see just dance loll
The games that aren't compatible are very very few. 99% of its game work on lite.
I think the most important thing we learned in this video is
Arlo is a marsupial
And dislikes his own color lol
Big Daddy I’m guessing???? It’s a delicate topic 😂
It looks like there’s better protection for the memory card slot. Still holding out for a more powerful Switch, though I’d settle for a port of Bloodstained that was optimized for the Switch. That control lag is really noticeable.
Some of the bosses seem slower and easier on the Switch as well.
2 hours? Yeah, I'd say something is messed up with your Switch's battery.
Or he leaves the screen at Max bright at all times. on any device leaving your screen at maximum brightness kills the battery fast
I always turn the brightness down and don’t even get 2 hours while playing botw for example
@@JackTheGamingGuy4REALZ I always have my brightness at 100% because it looks so nice, and I still get a good 3 or so hours of battery life.
I guess I've never sat and counted how long my battery lasts considering I'm always on my couch with the charger close by. But I play mine on adaptive brightness so it's never to dark or to bright.
I get at least 3 hours on any game
The dock itself is 80$....
Drop the price to 150$ imo
Hey, at least it's not 300! Ya know...
They are a company dude it’s their job
The dock is just a cheap plastic mold LOL. Worth mybe $1
Sokol Shala no actually u are just a moron
Sokol Shala yeah but nintendo sells them for 80$
I've played BOTW for more than 3 hours in handheld without charging. Your battery most have a problem.
I get three hours about
They say it's up to about 4 hours. I'm sure it depends on the game and brightness etr.
@@regalia2468 Arlo needs to play with some blanket to keep the lights off of the screen then.
I kind of wish the Switch Lite came with a stylus. Especially for Smash and SMM2
Bought a stylus for Super Mario Maker 2. Waste of $9. Wasn't worth it. It's just easier and more comfortable to touch the screen.
Stylus for smash?
@@zacziggarot you can build in smash bros...like build levels using the stylus. Also just get a better stylus for super mario maker 2...the standard one is bad
Arlo’s made a video on it? Yay, now I can form my opinion on it!
That's just a revised version of Arlo's opinion!
And it's a good opinion.
Arlo: "I don't really like the blue-y side of things."
Also Arlo: *Is Blue*
Next is Switch Heavy, can't be portable and must be docked at all times... I'll still buy it.
Give it like 300gigs of memory and legit I'll move my switchOG dock tomorrow.

Why is the charging port still on the bottom. Why. Is. The. Charging. Port. Still. On. The. Bottom.
why does it matter considering there's no kickstand on the lite?
Jude Desaubin good point, but it’s just inconvenient and it could’ve easily been fixed
to be honest i think it's because that's what looks the best. even though it would be nice to have it somewhere else so it's easier to play while charging. like you could do with the new 3ds
@@self-consciousmess Because how could the charging dock work if the charging port was on the top?
Cyber Wasp there *isn’t* a charging dock
And now if your joy-con drifts, you can’t replace ‘em!

ii Just ii I fixed my joy-con myself. Just bought replacement joysticks, took the controllers apart and installed it. Might be a bit harder to fix for Lite :P
mega sean yeah, because the screwdriver things were on the side, which you can’t reach now.
@@JR00D bruh
But they aren’t joycons it’s not separate the whole thing is the console.
Oof
Got a point.
If you actually compare the dimensions of the OG switch to the Lite, and look at how the OG fits into the dock, you'll see that the Lite won't be able to fit due to the control sticks getting in the way. I guess that's why it doesn't support docking. It still would have been nice to have some sort of USB connector that could plug into the dock and then output to the TV/monitor but the next problem may be that it could interfere with a switch thats in the dock. Or, Nintendo could of make a dock revision seeing as the current one literally a USB hub that outputs to the display. The new one could be smaller, supporting the Lite and the OG and mabye even give them a performance boost with hardware inside it self. But knowing Nintendo, there's a 95% chance they'll never do this.
Minimumderp The Lite has a redesign Tegra X1 chip. Which is more battery/energy efficient. With the Switch in portable mode, it dumbs down the system so you’re not killing the battery in an hour. Hence 720p resolution. When it’s dock, it goes all out on power because it’s basically connected to the wall outlet. Thus being able to produce 1080p. So that’s why it won’t be dockable.
@@thelastdragon5551 Thats true, i forgot about that energy efficient part with the lite.
Its called making a new dock
someone on youtube took it apart to see what was inside and it literally doesn't have a video chip so you can't dock even with a smaller dock

Oh no the charger is on the bottom they should have put it on top so it’s more comfortable when played while plugged in
Right? Thats the one main problem with the Switch's charger.
I've always wanted it on the top, weird that it's still on the bottom considering it doesn't go into dock mode
It still has the same divot in the back for docking, so it looks like they left it that way specifically so that they can still be slid into the dock to charge even though they won’t display to the TV.
@@pizza2005 the joycons will probably collide with the dock though, as it is smaller
They did it so future accessories can be compatible with both units
I'm just hoping they are NOT gonna do:
Lite - Handheld Only
Pro - TV Only
Standard - Both
I just hope whenever they do the Pro Model (or whatever they call it) it can STILL Switch back n forth!!!
🤞😑🤞
That's honestly what I'm most worried about. A more powerful one not being portable. I really don't think that will happen, but I'm a tiny bit worried now because it feels like a possibility.
NerdRage 36 exactly! Although if the switch pro is as powerful as an Xbox S/PS4 pro or whatever the top notch one is I'll take it I guess...I want good big third parties already!
