Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Switch Lite Officially Revealed - $199, September 20th, Dedicated Handheld

I wonder if a third party dock may work on the NS lite .



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Does it have a better battery life though? If so, how much better is it?

3-7 hours instead of 2.5-6.5 hours. Not a massive increase but a bit better.

Well if you have the next 5 years of your gaming habits carefully planned, then I guess its an ok purchase...



Losing the essence of the name of the console is a real shame and it's not logical...even contradictory...
It remembers me of another mistake Nintendo made recently... naming the WiiU right after the Wii
I just can't understand how a "Switch" is not compatible with a TV.



So it's the same thickness, wish it was a bit slimmer tbh. I'm sure eventually it'll get there with revisions...



That price point is perfect, and this might be why they have so many games landing in September.

Still, this is the worst kept secret ever...bout damn time they revealed it.

I thought that they'd eliminate only one play option to maintain the Switching concept but I was wrong. Other than that, the Switch is going to sell like pancakes this holiday and the floor for its lifetime sales just raised a ton.

I don't get it. Barely any smaller and cant play all games. Are there really that many people who only play in handheld mode?

In Japan where this will get most of its sales?
Yes.



Shocking about it being pure handheld...... but that price does show it.



Pocky Lover Boy!

This appeals to me much more than the original Switch - and it's much cheaper as well, which is nice.

Is there a list of major games that do/don't support handheld mode? I want to get a feel for what % of the Switch library it'd give me access to.

The only major ones off the top of my head are 1-2-Switch, Super Mario Party and maybe ARMS but most people just play that using a pro controller anyway.  I also wonder if they'll rework some games where motion controls were required for some functions.

Yes.

But its already a handheld...
