Meh. Colors are pretty ugly IMO, gray is ok but the others are too bright for my taste.

The 5.5in screen is also a huge turnoff, too many games already have utterly awful text scaling in handheld mode, gonna need a magnifying glass just to see half the shit on this one.

As a dedicated handheld gaming device, Nintendo Switch Lite does not support output to a TV.

I’m curious as to whether this is a marketing or technical decision as I could see reasons either side.
