In general, bad move by Nintendo. The Original switch was selling well because of its portability. Who needs a switch now when you have cheaper portable switch lite.

The original switch sales will start to tank as soon as the lite portable is released... mark my words :)

Even if that was the case (it won't be worldwide) does it matter? A Switch Lite sold is just another Switch sold in Nintendo's eyes.

So you can't come up with a single reason that the Switch isn't a valid home console, your only point is that it can do something extra that home consoles can't.

Your argument then is you don't think hybrid consoles can exist, you should have led with that. Meanwhile I shall ignore you and your agenda.

I came up with several reasons why, you just don't like them.

And, what is my agenda?

No, you came up with one reason. "It can be used as a handheld." Of course it can, it wouldn't be a hybrid if it couldn't.

I rarely play my Switch in handheld mode. I personally just feel like it is too big to do so comfortably. I will get one of these for sure.

This is how Nintendo will get multiple Switch units in each household. I'm excited to see how it sells.
Also, the only part of the Lite that is better is the price. In my opinion, it makes the original model really hold its value. The Lite is really a great entry level unit.

I don't mean to shit on this thing, but the original is too big, but this slightly smaller one is a must buy?

 I only praised the Lite for being a good entry level. I will get it for when I play portably instead of the original. I will feel more comfortable taking this Lite model on the go with me, where as I always feel worried about breaking my other Switch while it's out of the dock... The original model is vastly superior.

So...now it's as ugly as expected officially

You, sir, are mistaken. Most especially about the Pokemon edition.

Nope, I'll stick with my opinion like who on the earth of 2019 can have electronic device designed like that smh.

+ No HD rumble

Why is No HD rumble a plus? If you don't like rumble you can turn it off in most games anyway. The real question is whether No HD Rumble means no rumble at all, or if it still has basic rumble, I'm leaning towards the former.

HD rumble is a silly concept, has been a silly concept from the start. Glad it's being phased out.

Seems like a good option for those who want to save some cash. Could be good for kids as well.

I agree that it's not that useful or really a good concept, still don't think removing it (or even worse rumble as a whole) is better than having it.

I just realized the speakers are on the bottom and pretty close to the sides of the unit. I wonder if one's hand will get in the way while playing and distort the sound like it does on the New 2ds XL for some people?

Nintendo handheld has always been about playing Pokemon. It's not too surprising that they are releasing this just before their mainline Pokemon game.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Switch Lite speakers aren't as close to the edge as the 2ds xl, and are also much longer, so worse case you cover like a third of each speaker. But should be fine.
