Nintendo Switch Lite – Turquoise

Gameplay, Performance, and Price and Value
The Nintendo Switch Lite – Turquoise is a compact, affordable alternative to the original Nintendo Switch, designed primarily for handheld gaming. The Turquoise version has a bright, fresh, and eye-catching shade that stands out. It’s visually appealing, and the matte finish on the device reduces fingerprints compared to the glossy finish on some other devices.Lite offers excellent value for gamers who primarily play handheld. If you’re okay with the lack of TV docking functionality and detachable controllers, it’s a budget-friendly way to experience the full range of Nintendo Switch games.The Nintendo Switch Lite – Turquoise is a fantastic handheld-only option for those who want portability and affordability without sacrificing too much in terms of game quality and performance. While it’s not as versatile as the standard Switch, it excels in being a solid, compact console for on-the-go gaming. If you’re okay with playing only in handheld mode and don’t mind the lack of a TV connection, the Lite is an excellent choice for the price.

Good price
My son plays it constantly. Too much, lolHas lasted him well. Value was good and easy to connect to our wifi.

Looking for a way to keep the kids quiet without duct tape? Look no Further!
I got this for car rides for DaBoy. Best investment ever!

I’m glad I have one; I hate I bought one.
Nintendo must be raking in a lot of cash right now because they are selling hardware with a chip that nearing a decade in age. The net code for online games is clearly from the X360era, I jest not (with Mario Kart being the sole exception in my experience). Moreover, you have to spend money to use this infrastructure but the blame lies entirely on Microsoft for standardizing that. The analog stick drift is still an issue with this “budget” revision of the original.Despite all that, I decided to purchase this machine. Why? Gameplay-driven games or just games. Nintendo clearly only has this one thing going on for them and that is they make excellent games, for the most part. If it’s something by their EPD division or Retro Studios, you’ll be in for a treat. However, everything else, especially the third-party games are massively inferior compared to the versions on the competitors’ hardware while having to pay more for those games, something which is commonly referred to as the “Nintendo tax” by the gaming community.People have been calling this a neat little machine for indie games. However, now that the Steam Deck is out and the wait times have been cut down significantly, I’d recommend that over this. But what about the difference in price you may ask. To that I say the games are cheaper on Steam and it really adds up on the Switch and before you know it, you’ll very likely have spent more money with the Switch than on the Deck. If you care about physical releases though then avoid the Deck.There are definitely some things I really like about the Switch. For one, I can now play games while lying on my bed. I can play games in the short breaks I take. I can swap out the physical games I own without much effort (I wish I could hot swap the SD card as well but as of right now, the OS doesn’t support it. Steam Deck does, however, so it likely is not a technical limitation.)As a new owner, you may have to get used to the form factor because the thing is very tiny and also quite light. This device is clearly designed for smaller hands. If your hands are big, then I’d highly recommend getting a feel for it in a brick and mortar store before purchasing one. I remember my first week with this thing cramping my hands playing Mario. But you eventually get used to it.The OS software is serviceable. They have made many additions since launch but it still remains quite minimal, a bit too minimal in my opinion.This Lite variant doesn’t have Joy-Cons so the D-pad on this console is now something that a human being can actually use.I like that I can play Zelda wherever I want. However, I hate the fact that I have contributed to encourage Nintendo to do what they’ve been doing with their Switch line-up.In short, it’s a neat little device that I wish wasn’t priced this way and didn’t come with the annoyances that come with Nintendo hardware.

I’ve always wanted to have a switch. Really happy with my purchase!

Good still works
