| Barkley said: I have no doubt the Switch lite can on a hardware level support output to a TV. I believe the reason it can't be docked is down to the cooling in the Switch lite being unable to safely run the device with docked performance. If that isn't the case then it's just laziness on Nintendo's part. |
Keep in mind as well that the dock was designed around the width of the original Switch.... and people still managed to bash their screens off the thing and scratch them up, now imagine dropping a far skinnier machine in there, it's gonna have wiggle room at the sides which could either break the usb C male port in the base of the dock or could damage the Switch lite by falling forwards inside the dock.... also... there is a reason other than cooling it can't go in there
Look at the analogue sticks of the original model inside the dock, the stick is about .5cm away from the edge of the dock.
Now picture that Switch in the same dock, those sticks just aren't far enough apart to slot in there, compounded by the fact that they're not removable like in the original unit. But looking at the size differences I'm not sure could you slide the Switch lite into that dock with the sticks placed where they are, I think even with a perfectly central usbc connection the system wouldn't fit in there.
