Agreed. I always assumed that a Switch Lite wouldn't come with the dock packed in, but I'm a little surprised that it can't be docked - period.
They replaced the digital controller of Switch with a regular d-pad, just like it happened in the real Switch Lite. I don't think it is a coincidence. Most probably they came upon an internal mockup?
(you know where to stick that "lol", right?)
I don't know why I ever doubted Nintendo's ability to fuck up a sure thing, but they accomplished it. If it really has the exact same internals I don't understand what possible reason they would have for eliminating the dock port. You don't have to include the dock in the package.
$100 drop.
To you.
For a significant number of people this is what they wanted: a new Nintendo portable device.
The system looks very good, and good value for its price as well. I don't like the colors, but they'll launch more in the future for sure. This is the first step to turn the Switch into a one-per-user device rather than a one-per-family device that $300+ consoles usually are. This will be the big launch of Nintendo's strategy to sell Switch systems to kids and the casual/not-hardcore players. It's right in time for Pokémon, Animal Crossing, and I expect more stuff like Girls Mode/Style Savvy/New Style Boutique or Tomodachi Life in 2020. The core gamer has been reached; it's now time to broaden the audience.
Decent price and looks alright but some weird choices too, like dropping the detachable Joycons.
Switch was a great on the go, local multiplayer console and the Switch Lite not having that is a bit of a downer. The colours are a bit boring too, no white or red version ?
Hopefully the Pro version is real and keeps all the features of the original Switch.

Can the people who always say "A Switch TV only version would be against what the console is about" finally shut up now?
So yeah I don't need a mobile only version, I want a home only version.

The price is really good. I reckon it'll sell super well especially with right software.
As someone who has never played the Switch docked, this looks amazing!
If the performance and internal specs is the same as a regular Switch, I'll definitely be picking one up!

Where did they say no Gyro? It says you can play any game that supports handheld and some handheld games require that.
The Lite is now the configuration/features that software will be developed for- not local multiplayer with the joycons. That's over.
The original configuration/features will be a novelty in the big picture of what the Switch is going forward.
It's the Vita 2! But seriously, too many cuts for me to be worth it as I don't play portable much.
Wonder what games won't be supported

Mustard yellow is a terrible color but the Deku is great.
Looks alright, might get one if there's a bundle with Pokémon or special edition console or atomic purple color

So it's probably a bit early for people to know the answer to this question. But if I bought this, would I be able to on the fly play a game on my main/original Switch at home while docked, then with cloud saves and my Nintendo account connected to the LITE be able to take that on the go and pick up on whatever I was playing? Because if that's something I can do I'll absolutely buy one of these to have a smaller portable Switch for when I'm not at home.
If I can't do that though, I don't really have much reason to buy one.

For reals. I don't own a Switch and was waiting for this. Even the PSP could connect to a TV. Disappointed. I guess I'll wait and see what the Pro is.
Pokémon Version available November 8th (Link)
cool pokemon version
Throwing in a link for the sake of a threadmark.
IMO there's no reason to exclude TV play. They could sell a smaller dock or a cable separately and make bank.
While this is great as a lower price, anyone getting this as a gift will be getting a switch that can't switch. What else does the name mean if it can't switch between TV/portable or joy cons?
Also announcing this 2 + months ahead seems kinda early.
Is there any reason to believe they couldn't patch in TV play if they wanted to? I imagine they think it will hurt the sales of the $300 model if it can also switch.

Interesting, the colours are bit ugly imo, but hey at least it's more portable now and.. "Since Nintendo Switch Lite is a dedicated handheld device, it won't connect to a TV" .... you lost me.
The pro it is then.

I'm actually curious if this will be able to run handheld mode at higher fidelity than the original switch
and its amazing!
I mean hell its not like Sony is making another one. At least someone is
That said I am still waiting for all the features that Vita had to be added to the switch OS

I think it's funny it's still called Switch when it can't actually.....switch. I know why it's still called that as it would make no marketing sense to change it but still...funny.
X box isn't shaped like a Cross or X (anymore) so a Switch that doesn't switch is no big deal. Some of you people really try to come up with the most convoluted negative points, don't you?
You guys want them to go back to naming things like they did with Wii U?!
Just use Electronic contact cleaner.
Drifting is obviously an issue but it can easily be fixed by a 8€ can you can find in any DIY store.
No need to buy a new joy con
LOL.
People really don't know how much the OG Switch costs it seems.
100 dollar price reduction is massive, especially for families.
Next thing you know they'll release a 3DS that doesn't do 3D!
The video specifically says that it's not suitable for games that require motion controls like 1-2 Switch.
Now obviously 1-2 Switch requires HD Rumble too, which is what makes it confusing. Maybe it's a video error.
I expected the Lite to be announced before Pokemon/Animal Crossing come out. I expect the Pro to be announced before a title which benefits from more powerful hardware (BotW 2?) comes out.
Does it have rumble at all? Not that I really care. The cuts made are good and features unneeded by most people I'd say.
It's cute, I may get one for the gf. I already have a Switch so this is a bit of a downgrade. Interested to see how the pro model plays out. Also interesting that the price in Canada is $260 and not $10 less.

Until the Switch Pro releases that will have joycons and HD rumble and more features than the original Switch? Um ok, I guess?
