The good thing is that ERAs opinion doesn't matter at all.

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
The 3DS did not launch with nearly 1000 games in its catalogue.
I know this device is more the younger kids and people who wanted a smaller form factor and price point, $200 to play games like Breath of the Wild, DOOM, Skyrim, Mario Odyssey, and some of the other good third party ports portably is a very compelling argument for gamers who were on the fence about the Switch. You simply aren't getting this level of gaming performance and library out of a tablet or cell phone for gaming purposes. The MSRP for the base model PS4 Slim/Xbox One S is still $50-$100 more than this. There's a ton of value in a SKU like this as those console simply aren't portable.

Little Nincels continue being an embarrassment
Y'all wanted a portable only switch and now you got one but now you want it to be exactly the same as the original switch that launched back in 2017?
I have to laugh!

You could dock PSP 2000 and up models!
Plus PSP was disc based. Switch is not.
Vita couldn't get docked--you needed a PSTV. But it used carts.
This has more in common with the Gameboy Advance than the PSP.
If Gamepro keeps a $200 trade in value through tomorrow I'm real tempted to trade it in and replace it with a lite in 2 months. Not really playing anything on it right now anyway and I 100% want the lite over an OG but can't justify dropping $200 to have both.
I know others have said it, but this really is going to be a sick Pokemon machine for a lot of kids come the holidays.
I cannot imagine having something like this at 12 years old

That's a bitttt of a stretch. The DS would qualify on GBA backwards compatibility grounds, in that case.
I think we're up to almost 3,000 now. Just imagine where it'll be in September
This is just a minor revision. The Switch was launched at 2017.
It can go as low as 368x207 per the digital foundry analysis which is lower than the 3DS's 400x240
... no, it has well over 2000 games officially.
EDIT: Here, their official store lists 2256 games available now.
Some of those are probably duplicates and bundles but I'd guess the real number is still close to 2200.
I hope they fixed their analogue sticks because getting stick drift on this would suck seeing as how you can't detach the controllers. It would mean sending in your whole unit just to get that fixed.
"Swont" Lmao haha, but really... I get the desire to release a cheaper, dedicated handheld device, but I wonder what the reasoning was in removing docking compatibility? The only thing I can think of would be to minimize costs. I guess this is really aimed at dorm students without a TV, and parents who need to keep children occupied on car trips and plane flights.
Super Mario Party
Nintendo Labo
1-2-Switch
there's your list
I'm not someone who's complaining but... "Nincels"? Really? Do you drop "Sonypony" in other threads too?
A guess would be to say that the Switch Lite has the die shrink. This is inference, gathered from actual data.
Eh, part of why I like my Switch so much is the handheld or docked choice so taking away that feature makes this kinda unappealing to me personally.
I'm sure it will sell well though.

This is the thread where we will complain about something that was not intended for us I see. Hopefully, the pro comes out this year as well.
Yeah, it's suspicious that the specs say "Connect devices such as"...
Charging cradle will still be a thing I guess. Wonder if older ones will be compatible?
But they already have that. It's the Switch lol. This is their dedicated handheld line. A market Nintendo has owned for more than 30 years. They were not giving up on it.
Ice White bundle for Smash Ultimate
Forest Green Bundle for Animal Crossing
Im not even joking. I would pay to have the Wii U GamePad compatible with the switch however, if the Dpad on the Lite is formidable and thw weight feels good, it might also be the perfect controller.

What the hell is a Nincel? Lol
The good thing is, ERA isn't a person, it's a collection of people of differing backgrounds and beliefs that have different opinions.
Yes but full-fat switch is a home console and this is a pure handheld.
Would I be correct that this wouldn't give you cross-save or cross-buy with a normal switch? You would need a single "dedicated" switch and if you wanted a digital title on both you'd have to pay twice, and couldn't readily play on your main switch and continue on your Switch Lite on-the-go (or vice versa)?
I think some of you guys complaining about not being dockable and not having removable joycons (etc) are sort of missing the point of the product.
If I didn't have a Switch already and had no interest in console/hybrid gaming, I'd get this in a heartbeat. Otherwise, kinda destroys the point of the system.
Probably just for placing it on existing stands for tabletop play.
