Customer Ratings & Reviews

I gifted this to my significant other and it is perfect for playing cozy games together on the couch, it has been used almost every night since we bought it! The storage isn’t great but micro SD cards are not very expensive. It is the perfect size for travel and it feels very nice and durable.

Going on vacation? If your taking the family You might need to stop by Best Buy for something to keep the kids busy - like the Nintendo Switch Lite! Lightweight and small size makes the Switch Lite the easiest way to play on-the-go. Shhhh! Keep it a secret while you play your favorite Nintendo Switch games in this inconspicuous dark grey color option and without lugging the size of the original. I always refer to the Lite when we I am out of the house; With its smaller size and more portable than the original - at nearly half the weight - makes carrying everything else so much easier. It’s the first thing I reach for before heading out. Plus the thing just feels right in the hands. If you don’t have one, get one! There’s was no question whether to buy it; we’ll worth it.

So I've had my blue switch lite for over a week now and I love it. I thought I would be making a bad purchase since the oled has the better screen and upgrades and this is my first switch but I don't regret it. I'm constantly playing metroid dread and its great. I can get about 2 three hour gaming sessions before having to charge it. I do have the screen brightness a little below 50% to get that extra preciousinutes out of the battery. The blue color looks the best, in my opinion, compared to the others. What I really like is that the lite has a dpad while the other models do not. All you need is a screen protector, a case and micro SD card and you good to go. The portability is fantastic and there are accessories that can help with charging away from home. If you can't get your hands on an oled get a lite. You ll save yourself $150 and you can use that to buy a couple of games or a a game and some accessories.

I have owned a Switch since the day of its release. I’m a big fan of the console and the list of available games to play is a mile long. I initially didn’t have any interest in the Switch Light since I had the normal Switch. The original pastel colors of the Switch Light also kind of kept me away. This new blue color made me change my mind. My current Switch rarely leaves the dock, so I figured I can get the Switch Light for traveling and on the go. The blue color is definitely blue but it has a purple-ish hue in a lower light setting. Purple is my favorite color. The biggest advantage the Switch Light has over the Switch is the D-pad. Playing older games is much more enjoyable with an actual D-pad. The original Switch uses individual buttons as the D-pad. Build quality also seems to be more solid than the original Switch since the Light is a one piece solid unit. It would be a much better option for small humans. If you already have a Switch and are looking for a second one to play on the go I highly recommend it. If you want to be able to play games up on your big screen then you will have to shell out a little more dough for the original Switch. The Switch Light has no way of sending video out. You can’t go wrong with either choice, but if you decide to get a Switch Light I would definitely go with the blurple one.

I debated about getting either the regular switch or the Lite. I figured that I’d spend more time on handheld play anyway and I could save $100 going for the Lite, so that’s what I chose. The turquoise color looks amazing in person and the console is a super comfortable texture to hold. I bought it specifically for Animal Crossing New Horizons since we’re all stuck in quarantine right now and I’ve gotta say so far I really love playing on the Switch Lite (as well as the game itself lol)

This new switch lite is an amazing new console Perfect for gaming on the go. slimmer, less expensive version of the standard Switch and one of the best handheld game systems to date.

This is my 3rd Switch and I have to say that it's the most comfortable handheld version Nintendo has. The picture quality is crisp and vivid. The battery life is comparable. Very portable with a solid construction.

I never thought that I would need a switch lite until now, once I started playing this handheld device I was instantly taken back to when I received a ds for my birthday as a kid. This device is great if you travel a lot because it’s smaller and much more compact than the original switch, but the only downside is the missing addition of the docked play. However, I would definitely recommend this product, especially since it’s $100 cheaper than the switch

This is a wonderful console. I do kind of wish I bought the pink one instead, though! It's portable and easy to use for small hands. It's also more affordable than the other models. I have a regular Switch with a cracked screen, so I can always use that one in the dock to game on the TV, but I prefer to use this one for the mobility.

I gifted it to my five year year-old, and she is loving it and really easy to use and can watch YouTube kids on it it great device .

This switch is awesome, it’s portable and fits most places for storage. The controllers are built-in so no more lost pieces. We Love our new switch lite!

I just got my switch lite! I had to pre-order for this color.i ordered it March 31st and it came in today on April 3rd. I picked the free shipping option and it came 4 days early!They sent me frequent emails to keep me updated on my order. The system itself is great and I love the matte finish because it doesn’t leave fingerprints. I usually play games on portable systems so this switch is perfect for me! I would recommend it to anyone that plays games primarily on handheld devices. I really appreciate the rapid shipping and updates from Best Buy. This will definitely keep me occupied while I’m staying at home all the time. I would definitely reorder from Best Buy again!

It has a sleek, integrated design with built-in controls, making it easy to take on the go. Super great for solo gaming and has a solid library of games available. However, it lacks the ability to connect to a TV and doesn't have detachable Joy-Con controllers, limiting multiplayer options. Overall, it's an excellent choice for gamers who prioritize portability and solo play.

Switch lite is a cool system with portability in mind, it’s light weight and with a flip cover official Nintendo case you can put it in your pocket or jacket and take it with you keeping the screen protected… I’d highly recommend !

I wanted to pick up a Lite even though I owned a full Switch, hoping it would be a bit more portable. Thankfully it is! Even with a small case (I use a TomTom case), it’s much smaller. What’s most noticeable is how much lighter it is. The screen is smaller obviously and the buttons are different than Joy-Cons (they’re squishy not clicky) so keep that in mind.

I got this switch lite for my daughter as a graduation present and she loves it! The size, the color, the game selection is great for her! She really loves it! For kids it’s $100 less than the regular one that we have at hone and it’s more portable! easy recommendation for parents with a switch in their house already! We also got clubhouse games with it which is perfect!

I love this handheld gaming system SO much. At first, I originally wanted the regular switch but you guys were sold out at the time and I didn’t want to wait ANY longer to start playing the new Pokémon Sword & Shield games as soon as possible so I just took the lite instead. It wound up that I love being able to play up close and personal because I wear glasses and docking it to the Tv is sick and all but it would be harder for me to see & play anyway instead of having it right in my face all the time Also, the product hasn’t given me any problems as of yet & the color options you guys have is awesome. I love the teal color

My son received this as a Christmas gift, love the portability of it as well as the battery life is great. This help alleviate the fighting over the main Switch. The only thing I wish is that when you purchase games cards that you can download the game, instead of having to purchase multiple copies of the same game.

I purchased two Nitendo switches for my two older children for Christmas and they loved them so much. I am very happy that I was able to purchase my children’s Nitendo switches from Best Buy. Hopefully I can order myself one soon because watching my kids playing makes me want one. I am so glad I was able to get my kids their dream Nitendo Lites.

Nintendo Switch is still great, even years later. I purchased this as a birthday gift for my son. Easy to setup, as usual. Fun to play, as expected. My son really love it.
