Worst kept secret announced: Switch Lite
- The same internal specs
- Slightly smaller screen, slightly lighter, 30 minutes better battery life
- Does not in any way support TV-out, handheld only
- No detachable controllers, device has a real d-pad, can still sync other controllers like the Pro one to it wirelessly
- No HD rumble or IR sensor
- No kickstand so does not support “Tabletop mode” but not sure how that effects game compatibility
Comes out September 20 for $200.

If a game doesn’t support handheld mode, you can play it by syncing a wireless controller. Sounds like tabletop mode just without a kickstand.
Considering a New 2DS XL still has an MSRP of $149.99 (I think), this looks like just about the best version of this it could be. Makes the idea of local multi-screen multiplayer a lot more feasible, and I’d imagine this is a much better solution for households with children who might want their own device come Pokemon time. I can imagine a few years down the road picking one of these up so I can have a Switch specifically for traveling with.
I really want that turquoise one, actually. That’s about the most appealing console color (to me) ever.
It’s a really tiny screen for local, one-screen multiplayer, but I like that that’s possible. Just need to prop the fucker up.
Wonder if we’ll see even more upgrades/ports of 3/DS games for the Switch now.
same (well, I’m interested in the switch as a handheld, I don’t have one)
I gotta handle one in person though because my PSPgo taught me that I’m an old man who needs big screens on his handhelds
Playing King of Fighters versus in portable mode directly infront of the screen I thought “this is too small.”

fwiw when I got a switch last month I was able to do it for $200 (the going secondhand price minus the cost of reselling the dock and charger and using the USB-C stuff I already had) so I don’t think this is a great deal for the reduced functionality but still not bad
like honestly if i could get a regular switch for like 50 dollars more i would probably just say fuck it cuz im not sure about the smaller screen but also the colors are pretty so who can really say??

also theres a decent amount of games now that dont support handheld mode or have weird control things which sucks a lot for this thing too
would honestly be more interested in a… switch heavy i guess? a version of the switch that was not portable
no idea what that would look like though

I mean I basically use mine like the Wii U, I never take it out of the house and rarely plug it into the TV, but I do sit around the house with it as a handheld a bunch
