Hi, i am lookiing to buy a switch lite and wondered if is a good handheld i already have a wii u so didnt want another console. I have a ps vita that plays the retro games but wanted to play modern nintendo games. Advice please.

It’s smaller than the standard Switch1 but plays the same games. Many owners seem to like it. But I would prefer a regular one. The Lite it has several downsides compared to the dockable models. Obviously you don’t have the option of playing it on the TV. But you’re also stuck with the built-in controls, vs. being able to swap to a more comfortable controller, play with separate controllers that are clipped onto the console by default, or replace a drifting stick without disassembling the console itself. It has no rumble. And it’s the newer hardware revision (better battery life but needs a modchip rather than a jig to hack).

Its my birthday soon and my wife wants to buy a console for me also my grand kids would play with it. As i have a nintendo wii u and a ps 4 the tv inputs are full. I like nintendo games and handheld pc are pricey. Thanks for the reply.

The Switch in general is nice to have, but honestly I use it more as an Android tablet rather than a game console because of how cheap it is compared to a similar spec tablet (specifically the 4GB of RAM).

If you enjoy modern Nintendo games, then the Switch is for you. If you don't, then, well, you know lol

You can always try before you buy since we're so advanced

I own a PS Vita (used mainly for emulation), which I rarely use after I've bought my Switch Lite and a Switch Pro Controller.

I love playing games on my Lite using the Pro Controller, and a standing base for the Switch, as it makes it more comfortable.

If you want to play recent Nintendo games, I do recommend a Switch Lite, easy to carry out, and hold when playing, even more if you get an ergonomic TPU protective case, it really improves the feeling.

As an extra move, I've replaced the joysticks of both, the Switch Lite and the Pro Controller with TMR joysticks, I'd say its really worth it.
