First official teardown of the new Switch Lite


FCC-Switch-Mini.png

Due to the fact, the Switch Lite is a whole new design, it of course needs to be approved by the FCC because of the internal 'wireless modules', and since everything is now on one motherboard in the new Switch Lite, we get to see a nice complete teardown of it! :)

32gb...we still living in 2010

ikr. it’s weird to see Built in storage below 200gb. Than I remember Japan had that earth quake several years back. Scandisk and others lost nan and mmc manufacturing plants. We’d have 500gb at decent prices if it wasn’t for that set back

Lets see...
  • Smaller screen
  • No HDMI
  • No joycon dis/connect
And ALL the saving is, is around £100?

Needs to be £139 or £149 unit cost in my opinion.

Just not worth it at £199 when for an extra £70 you can get joycons, dock, straps and a bigger screen.

Not worth it at that price.

looks like membrane triggers, I would kill for those on joycons.
Until someone plays kingdom hearts chain of memory's, then they gotta throw the whole switch away (or switch out the l/r or get it repaired)

If a new RCM bug is ever found, I think We'll need an hardmod to enable it?
But then, how are they supposed to use it for repair? :P

Trust me that another RCM bug (that would allow custom bin to be loaded) will never exist. And yes, we would need some sort of hardmod.
I have no idea how are these 2 things connected.

That doesn't mean a new exploit won't be found.

Now how will nintendo market the switch and its games after all theyve bragged it to be a family console, use the joycons to play as a family or in a group of friends.

Now comes this and it makes its image now impossible, theyve also fucked up the concept of its games actually requiring you to remove the joycons, yup those titles wont be playable on this system.

Lets also not forget the cheap quality the joycons are and the analogues, now its built in your going to have to return a full console rather than a joycon or even buy a full console rather than a joycon.

This is a very piss poor idea but hey ho all nintendo care about is flogging cheap shit and printing money

but if you have kids and they each want one (say 3 younglings) 3x200=$600 vs 3x300=$900 (plus games) this is the DS Lite Switch :)

what I want to know is why they didn't bring the stripped-down version here like they did in Japan

Not for nothing is the stick still the same or does it look like it's made from different materials now? slowing down the drifting issue to say 3 to 5 years instead of 3 to 5 months :rolleyes:

Since there is no hdmi chip included do you think it will be possible to have an external hdmi chip connected through the USB C for video out? I assume a homebrew hack would be needed first.

Software video out may be possible, but takes its toll on the CPU. It worked for the low res N3DS over wireless, but the Switch has a far greater screen resolution.

then you buy a single one and use your dad/mom powers to say "you have to share".

I take it you have zero kids right ? :)
because that doesn't work

Doesn't look all that interesting to me, to be honest. 3.8V 3570mAh battery. Well, less failure-prone analogue sticks are all I really care about.

I may be one of the few people who are genuinely excited for the Switch Mini because I can't enjoy my regular Switch in handheld mode. I broke my hand in a cycling accident three years ago and I'm having trouble holding heavier objects for prolonged time. I can play my 3DS and even the Wii U gamepad just fine, but with the Switch my hand really starts to hurt after a short while.

Let's hope Nintendo didn't screw this up. If one of the sticks fails, get ready to send your console to repair.
I also hope they let me play my digitally bought games on both consoles (old Switch remains docked for TV play), but with this being Nintendo I have my doubts...

Ok, enough of my rambling for now.

(please be hackable in the future):creep:
Thats already allowed just cant be played at the same time. Its in the family share plan you make one the master Switch and the rest slaves under the account

What sucks is they dont have save data sync across devices something that people should complain for. Holding game data hostage in 2019 :hateit:

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
