The Nintendo Switch Lite is a lighter, smaller, and less expensive alternative to the standard Nintendo Switch System, with play limited to the console’s handheld mode. Since the system cannot be docked, the Joy-Con controllers have been replaced with similar-looking control sticks and buttons on either side, mimicking the layout of the Joy-Con but without being removable.
- Compatible with all Nintendo Switch games that support handheld mode, but certain titles such as 1-2 Switch will require additional Joy-Con controllers that can be separated from the system.
- Its smaller size and reduced weight will likely make it a better choice for younger players and those who play in handheld mode exclusively.
- The Nintendo Switch Lite features a 5.5-inch display, which is down from the 6.2-inch display of the original system.
