Because you can play Switch games on it.Just a minor question, why are they still calling the Lite "Switch" when you can't Switch between docked and portable anymore. Because you can Switch it on and off?
;P
If only there was a product that could address both the home console and the portable market at the same time...

Hey guys I have a question I've been dying to ask. Can anyone tell me why the PlayStation Portable is called PlayStation if it's not stationary? Seems like a huge oversight from Sony.
Had they released a violet version with dark buttons, I guess I would have become weak. Luckily I really don't like any of the colors. My neon switch is nicer!
You never saw the appeal of the Game Boy, DS, or 3DS? It's a Switch, minus tv out and rumble, for $100 less than what a regular Switch cost. This isn't complicated.
Should have called it the 'portable gaming system 1000'Hey guys I have a question I've been dying to ask. Can anyone tell me why the PlayStation Portable is called PlayStation if it's not stationary? Seems like a huge oversight from Sony.
Ugh, forgot about this. I was really thinking about grabbing one of these to use alongside my Switch but those three games specifically will all sting to not always have at the ready.
BRAND NAME!The Game Boy wasn't a hybrid nor the DS or the 3DS, they were meant to be ONLY handhelds(although the Game Boy got things like the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player down the line), this Switch loses one aspect that made it the Switch.
like 2 or 3 games. Mario Party and 1,2 Switch being the main oneswhat percentage of the switch library doesnt have handheld modes?
i dont have one, but i thought that was a major selling point. Why wouldnt you have a handheld mode?
mario party makes sense i guesslike 2 or 3 games. Mario Party and 1,2 Switch being the main ones

I think you made that up. TWEWY is best played in handheld mode.Did someone say TWEWY wouldn't work on this or do I make that up
Sigh ...

Labo kits (Variety, Robot, Vehicle, VR), 1-2 Switch, Super Mario Party, Fitness Boxing, and Just Dance (17, 18, 19, upcoming 20) don't work while handheld. Except for the Labo kits, the latter games are still technically playable if you have separate Joy-Cons and (ideally) some way of propping the system up.what percentage of the switch library doesnt have handheld modes?

Just Dance can theoretically work since you can still connect your phoneLabo kits, 1-2 Switch, Super Mario Party, and Just Dance don't work while handheld.

Right, and the Switch Lite will have all the appeal of a handheld, which has proven to be a pretty successful hardware model. I don't see the issue. The existence of the Switch hasn't killed demand for dedicated handheld devices.The Game Boy wasn't a hybrid nor the DS or the 3DS, they were meant to be ONLY handhelds(although the Game Boy got things like the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Player down the line), this Switch loses one aspect that made it the Switch.
...they're comparing them to the Switch Lite. I don't know how you can't see the similarity. Nintendo's had a cheap handheld only option since the GB, and with the 3DS reaching the final stages of being phased out they want a replacement for that market.Idk how you can say that a 3DS/gameboy/etc. is a Switch. They weren't built to be hybrid in the same way that the Switch was. Not to mention, the handhelds doesn't have two different performance thresholds like the Switch does.
It should work fine.Did someone say TWEWY wouldn't work on this or do I make that up
Because Switch is the name of the Console family, and the name on the boxes with the games you can play on it.
The defining feature of the Switch, be it Og or Lite is that it plays Switch games.
You people really shouldnt take everything so literal, the Wii didnt piss in your living room everytime you booted it up, but it was still called the Wii.
They call it the Switch Lite because all the games have the Switch name and Logo on the box, and the name has brand recognition.
You dont just throw that away so your are "technically correct" when describing what the thing does with the name.
Welp, there goes my interest in buying a yellow one in the near future.
Pretty much. I guess it's part of making it bombproofIs it just me or could they totally have kept the same screen size if they just minimized those sizable bezels?
People think the value of the Switch is that the *hardware* can "switch" between the handheld and the TV stuff, and that this is what the name means.Just a minor question, why are they still calling the Lite "Switch" when you can't Switch between docked and portable anymore.

Does this not have any gyro at all? So no gyro aiming with Splatoon 2?
It wont display in 1080p at all due to the low energy revised chip set being used, this helped keep the cost down and improve battery life, just buy the flagship Switch if you need that ability and pay for itIt's too bad it can't be docked, even if they sold a separate one given the difference in dimensions, but what would definitely make me pre-order one of these would be if you could use it as a gamepad with your docker OG Switch.
Really curious to see how Nintendo handles the account system/eshop once it is increasingly likely that a household will own multiple switch units. I'll probably end up getting one for my son, and I'm sure I'll have to put some thought into how our account(s) are set up.
I already own one. I was interested in improving the quality of life for the portable aspect of the Switch all while retaining the actual thing it's known for, switching between console and portable. I don't care to have a "Switch" that doesn't switch. Why argue for a less attractive package that retains that functionality?
