well that is why it's called the switch LITE

Remember the smaller DS that didn't lack any features and was an overall improvement in everything but durability? The DS LITE.

remember the new 3ds that didn't come with a charger cable? this is what nintendo does now they take away features instead of adding them

So they're finally doing proper limited edition designs, and it's on the lite version that nobody wants. What the hell Nintendo

I also question why they removed support for TV out. The Tegra chip is capable of it, and the hardware that handles it is in the dock anyway. Just make a smaller dock as a separate addon so those who want can buy it along with a Pro Controller or a JoyCon set later on to enable TV out, the manufacturing cost and the up front cost to customers is the same so there's no downside to doing this. If it's a matter of inadequate cooling, simply limit the TV out to 720p, those that want 1080p can buy the OG and those who mainly just want to use it handheld but maybe occasionally will want to hook it up to the TV to play Mario Kart, Mario Party or Smash will be fine with 720p. Better to have the option than to not have it at all.

Uh. Yeah. You must have missed the "Lite" portion of it's name? It also doesn't have a camera, HD rumble, or motion controls. Please explain what the point of a Lite version would be if it had all the same specs as the standard Switch minus the dock.

I said Nintendo as usual. Let's look at the Switch, old soc, 32gb internal storage, expensive accessories. I rest my case.

Glad I held off on getting a Switch, think one of these will do nicely.

that D pad tho

This is literally the exact opposite of what I was hoping for. Might have to bite and buy a switch now doesn't look like a pro version is coming anytime soon.

Doverking1 · Jul 10, 2019

All the idiots saying its a pointless product lmao.

Who the fuck plays games on their tv with a switch? If I have literally any other modren console/pc then I much rather play games on that.

This thing couldnt have come sooner, using this piece of junk in handheld mode is a chore. Now we have one optimized for that.

TheZander · Jul 10, 2019

I can't wait to trade my current switch in for this one. I'm always losing my joycons and getting it stuck in tv mode. Too much for me to handle.

Next year at the latest. The same CPU that makes this shrunken model possible will open up a little more performance when placed in the regular sized switch casing.

Should've called it the Gameboy Switch

except it doesn't switch

Sakitoshi · Jul 10, 2019

Nintendo knows they can't compete in the living room so they completely ditched that part of the switch.
Nearly everyone on the internet likes to throw around the fact that the switch was a portable and how wonderful it is at that because that's really the only saving grace the device has.
So there you have it, nintendo is now capitalizing on that and has plenty of internet comments to back that decision.

lincruste · Jul 10, 2019

Some random fuck broke into my appartment and stole my Switch two weeks ago, I'll probably grab this one if I have to get a new console.

Tumoche · Jul 10, 2019

Was it that difficult to add docking capabilities Nintendo? Really? It already has usb C! Come on!

SonicMC · Jul 10, 2019

I might be opposite of others here... but I would of liked a switch home edition. You know drop the screen, joy-cons, make it a tiny box like the playstation vita TV with an HDMI port, ethernet and USB Ports built in. Forget portable mode altogether. edit: and bundle it with the switch pro controller

I had replaced my left joycon analog stick once, and it is infinitely better than it was on stock, and even better, I only spent $4 for the replacement.

The problem is that since this is all integrated into one unit, you'll likely have to open the whole thing, probably voiding warranty. I'm hoping they just fixed the stick technology they used.

My concern is that the control sticks won't be fixed, and instead of people having to just buy a new overpriced controller to fix it, they'll have to buy a new console.

Yes I agree very good point. I think this lighter version has some serious flaws already.

the whole fucking point and appeal of the switch was the fact that you can SWITCH, this is a redundant product to fill the portability gab the 3ds used to fill except WE STILL HAVE THE 3DS

Well, it is called the Nintendo SWITCH. And true to its name, it is now SWITCHing from a hybrid console, into a handheld console and a dedicated home console. I for one, find it hilarious, since I haven't bought a Switch yet.

P.S. : "Nintendo Switch used Transform!" "Nintendo Switch used Rollout!"

Not saying this is a pointless product, as I'm very interested, even more if cloud saving transfers saves between consoles, with that said, I use my switch A LOT on my TV.

The DS Lite costed the same at launch as the launch model NDS (which had received a price cut prior to DS Lite's release).

Ninety forgot some games run & look like garbage in handheld mode. They need to push devs to improve quality if the usp is portability only.
