Nintendo Switch Lite announced at $199, launches September 20th, "dedicated handheld" (smaller, has D-Pad, has gyro, no HD Rumble, no dock/TV output)
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
I said account for that bc the photo only shows the first joy-con beside the Switch Lite. If you compare the Joy-Con to the right side of the Switch Lite, you see a smaller size difference than the name implies. Add in the rest of the base model Switch's components, and you see a clear and negligible difference at best.
Also embarrassing when they overheat and break and Nintendo does not offer free fixes.
Just buy the OG Switch
You got any source for that ? Because I'm doubting that the old 3DS sold more than most of the more recent models.
He says technically because it can drop to a resolution nearly that of the 3DS when playing handheld...

again, saying it is not true, doesnt make it so.
your armchair analysis it is a good as the one saying the problem is the heating.
Caffeine was released for 4.1 ipatched devices. So they can finally join in on the fun.
If you have a newer than 4.1 version though. Still out of luck
I don't use any tablets so I'm not familiar with how they feel, but you can find much smaller phones in the market with a 5.5".
If I'm not mistaken, for example, with the DS Lite they went with the same screen size while slimming down the rest of the device so I hoped for the same. Can't have it all though 🤷
While I am not going to get it because I already have a normal Switch, it does solve my main issue that I don't see it as a handheld device as I always found it to large to carry with me on the go vs my Vita/3DS XL.
I don't mind playing it at home undocked occasionally, but I never brought it with me when traveling for work/fun. I measured it out and this Lite device would easily fit my handheld standards. I also like the controllers are not detachable. The less moving parts on something that is being tossed in a bag the better.

PSP had a TV adapter.
Mariko is not cut down.
Wait the regular Switch doesn't support BT headphones? And this doesn't either? Do you have to use wired headphones or something?
How is this a side-grade?So are we still expecting a Pro because Gamestop is making a pretty compelling argument for me to side-grade. I want that better battery life...
This ad has to be the holy grail of marketing to convince people of this.
An interesting offering from Nintendo. I believe the Lite will sell very well at that price point and it's being launched with the new Zelda game which will be perfect.
As an OG Switch owner though, the lack of rumble and no option to dock it makes me want to pass on it.

Switch Lite's screen size is still bigger than the Vita's but with a much higher Pixel Per Inch:
Vita PPI: 220
Switch PPI: 237
Switch Lite PPI: 267
Vita PPI: 220
Switch PPI: 237
Switch Lite PPI: 267
Ah I see that this is quite a new development. I haven't checked in on the scene in a while but yeah that's very interesting.
For the amount of features removed to make this, a $100 price doesn't seem like enough. The colors also make it look cheap and plasticy. Definitely will see hot cakes, doesn't mean it's a good product.
I am capable of understanding the size of things, comparing them to other things and looking at what the Switch firmware reveals about the Lite, partial support for which has been present since 5.0. So, yeah.
The numbers don't make sense for the system to have a radically different cooling system. The system is smaller in a 'screen is smaller' way and a 'the enormous joycons and associated rails are removed' way, but it's not dramatically thinner.
as if the original switch didn't already need a grip due to its terrible ergonomics...........this shit is cramp central and will also need a good designed grip to comfortably hold
Not even the option of tv out is a massive massive bummer. I get if they didn't wanna include the dock etc but no idea why you can't use an existing one (or they make another one) and you use a pro controller.
Also, Nintendo once again blowing the entire gimmick behind their console.

Just be aware XB2 is notoriously low resolution when it's not docked, more info here:
Is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 too ambitious for Switch's mobile mode?
It's been a remarkable year for Nintendo's Switch and Monolith Soft is ensuring a strong finish with Xenoblade Chronicl…

Haha, I called this so many times, I present a portion of crow to all the people who said to me a switch mini/lite would not happen like this
It's probably the best of the bunch but I think the dogs are lame so having them permanently on the back of my switch would be a bummer.

That makes me worried.
I want it portable and I want it mainly portable. So as a portable it loses some incredibly minor functionality for me and increases the battery life, adds a d-pad, and looks sleeker. I have roommates with switches should I ever absolutely HAVE to play one of my games on the TV.
It's a side-grade.
I'm interested, but I gotta wait for a thorough review. I need to know:
1. Will it hold the same frame rate and resolution as the current Switch in handheld?
2. Is the d-pad reliable?
3. How do cross saves with another registered Switch work?

Don't spread misinformation please. It doesn't go lower than the 3DS.
