    I’ll throw my two cents as someone who owns both
    As someone who goes to school, I carry both, my normal switch for a chance to dock it into a projector and my Lite for general use
    The lite is lighter and smaller than the normal switch, and as someone who prefers the standard size New 3ds to the XL, I like it
    The switch is more tough, and easier to make repairs to (fixed my joycon drift easily), it’s also dockable
    The lite is for people who don’t dock/don’t have the time to play docked (sit at their Tv and play games) much like a student, and for someone who prefers to play casually
    The Base switch is more for “hardcore” gamers, people who have the time to sit and play
    I personally use both, and don’t see the problem with either, it all really depends on preference and play style, do you want to play in your bed and never dock your switch? Use the lite. Do you want a gaming system for both at home and on the go use? Get the base. It’s all about what you prefer to do, and as a student, I play more portably than docked, which I why I invested in a lite

    I almost exclusively play in handheld mode, even at home because I find it more comfortable. But - tabletop multiplayer is amazing for me, because I'm constantly on the go with friends. Buses, trains, school, flights, malls, parks, it's just such so useful.

    @DTFauxClassic Před 4 lety +6

    As someone who recently picked up a Switch Lite while owning the OG Switch, I'm enjoying both. I more use the Lite for bedside gaming and daytime outings with a lot of stop and go. I still use the OG for near-daily docked play, but I bring that with me for overnight travel or knowing I'm gonna be in one place for a long time, where I can justify tabletop playing.
    My only two hangups are 1) I wish downloading games and cloud saves to a new system was a bit more seamless, and 2) You really start to feel that hurdle transferring game saves that aren't compatible via cloud saves; It's not hard or even terrible, but it feels like more work than it needs to be.

    Here’s what I see things if you’re more of a traveling person, prefer to play games portably and prefer to play one person games get the Switch Lite. If your someone who prefers to sit down playing games, who wants to play games with other people and cares about long game play get the normal Switch.
    Really there’s only 2 factors that should decide which one you should get for most people and those factors are “the ability to switch or not” or “do they prefer to play game solo or with others”. If you care about playing games while siting down then get the normal Switch, if you know your more active and don’t play much games sitting down get Switch Lite. If you prefer to play solo games get the Switch Lite, if you want to play games with other people then get the normal Switch. Pretty much one of theses reasonings will be the main reason why you should buy the Switch Lite or the normal Switch

    One key feature missing from the Lite is the rumble. It's key in some games, like Luigis Mansion, when you need rumble to identify certain items. The workaround on the Switch Lite wasn't a good approach.

    Here's a couple of ideas that popped into my head while watching this video:
    1. Regarding the grip problem of the switch lite, if you don't want or have access to 3rd party grips or cases, maybe something like a clay doh material? Hear me out, 3rd party grips usually come with a lot of bulk more so for some that has added protection to it, but with something like clay doh that you can just stick to the back of your switch lite, you can just remove it just as easily...maybe, plus with the added benefit of contouring the clay doh to the actual shape of your hand due because...it's clay doh. Just an idea at the top of my head, well aware that it has some storing/hygienic issues, but that would be like the most budget switch lite grip if someone gets it to work.
    2. Since the switch lite still has a bluetooth functionality, maybe Nintendo can enable the whole unit to function as a separate controller in a future update? Like a whole pair of joycons to the original switch when it is docked. Instead of handing over a tiny joycon to your friend to play in tabletop mode or across the tv, just let them use the switch lite that they already brought as a controller on its own to your original switch.

    great video, you included everything! after watching a lot of these i think i’m sure that the lite is better for me. i wouldn’t play it docked at all, and the only features of the og switch i’d like are the detachable joycons and he rumble. plus for the price difference i can get two games!

    Just bought the regular Nintendo Switch today at one of our local Walmart stores. I been checking all Walmart stores within 30 miles range and finally found a store which had 1 regular Nintendo Switch in stock so I bought it. The Walmart stores in our general area has Nintendo Switch Lites in stock maybe 1-2 at a store if you are lucky. But I wanted a regular Nintendo Switch so I could connect it to my 43" 4K TV and play it that way.
    One small included feature on the regular Nintendo Switch I like is the fact it has a kickstand built in. For when you want to remove the joy cons and setup the main display using the kickstand then play it that way.

    I own a normal switch that I had to share with my brother. He kept it to himself and only let me use it one day a week even though it belonged to both of us. We couldn’t afford another switch but we could afford a switch lite and I prefer handheld play. The only things missing are the detachable joycons, hd rumble, and the ability to use it as a home console. The switch lite is just for handheld. I love it, it fits perfectly in my hands and is so much lighter and very comfortable. People said that while playing, your hands would cover up the speakers on the bottom, which is not the case. They’re close but don’t cover. And you can connect other switch controllers and joycons to it. A very nice, lower priced alternative to the switch.

It is a winter jacket though, so in summertime I'll have to rely on that hoodie I have with the large inner pockets. IMHO, both versions of the Switch are terrible for portability, but one has tabletop and docked functionality, and the other does not, not to mention that the one that isn't a dedicated handheld has a better battery life for some reason, so for me the choice was clear.

Used in conjunction with a docked Switch and just bounce saves back and forth via cloud saves (or transfer option for Pokémon) it’s the best possible setup

    I bought one over a month ago and love it so far. Don’t get me wrong though, I am going to buy the newer model longer battery life docking switch as well in March 2020. Figure saving 100 a month for 3 months won’t be a bad idea for that one and use it for the tv only as a console with my games on it but as my secondary unit and use my lite as my primary so I and my woman can play all my games offline and online on it anywhere we go with it. The docked one can stay hooked up to internet so it can always be played on all my games to while still playing my games on my lite off her account and I will play all my stuff continued on my docked one. Making 1 digital purchase work as 2 for us and play together. Can’t do that with a game cartridge unless we buy 2. So thats my idea but I’m liking it. Bought Skyrim on it for black friday sale for 30 bucks and WOW is it good and impressive. Looks just as good as my ps4 version and surely runs better. I use to talk a lot of shit against a Nintendo Switch as I had vita since day one for well over 6 years and yes vita still owns a switch in FEATURES but for games it doesn’t. If switch gets features added to it like vita had day one and still does today, it would own it in every way. I’m glad I finally caved in though and got a switch. I actually traded in my vita and games at gamestop for my switch lite. Only paid 60 bucks for it after the trade towards it and don’t regret my decision. I just miss the vitas features that switch doesn’t have. Other than that, Im loving at least ONE feature a switch has over vita and its a big one and thats to be able to use multi users on the switch. Something vita never allowed and was a huge downfall to it. Im glad I traded stuff in for a switch lite. The blackish dark gray one. Love it so far! Already have over 50 digital games and 1 is cartridge, Zelda breath of the wild and man I love it and bought all these games already for it in a months time. Been going hog wild filling up my 256 gig memory stick. Sure beats paying 50 bucks for a 256 gig nintendo licensed memory stick instead of vitas overpriced 100 dollar 64 gig sticks. That was a pure rip off. It should be 10 bucks max. Anyways buy a switch lite, you won’t be sorry. Its like a ps4 in your hands on the go.

    Like you said, if you play multiplayer games with friends, it’s a no-brainer. The extra $100 is worth it when you consider the fact that it comes with two controllers, and even if the tiny joy-cons aren’t the ideal way to play, it still gives you the option. Not to mention, it actually let’s you “switch” between handheld and docked mode, which was the entire point of the console to begin with.

  • @SpeedfrkOne
    @SpeedfrkOne Před 4 lety +2

    Kevin - some interesting tidbits I dug up about the Nintendo Switch:-
    Here's the reason why Bluetooth headphones won't work with the Nintendo Switch - again Nintendo decided to break the Bluetooth standard. The Switch uses a Bluetooth chip to communicate to the Joy-Con's, but Nintendo buggered up the specifications so they can support 8 controllers (and host) rather than 7+ host. This is why bluetooth headsets don't work on it.
    Oh and another piece of Nintendo "trickery", the USB-C port and voltages go against the USB C standard and this is causing the bricking issues with Non-Nintendo AC adapters - very convenient. In fact all Nintendo AC Adapters violate the USB-C PD (Powered Delivery) specifications setup by the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) standards. So in fact the USB-C connection looks and works like USB-C however its actually proprietary inside the Switch and AC Adapter. So where is this information on the box / manual? The Nintendo Switch AC Adapter does work well, however it has been "modified" to only operate on the following voltages - 5.0v-1.5A / 15.0v-2.6A. The 15.0v current is for when its docked, the rest are handheld and most USB C adapters don't have a 15.0v rail at 2.6A for docking mode, so if using the docked mode a lot, stick with the genuine charger.
    If Nintendo is not going to stick by established standards, use a proprietary connector instead of mutilating the USB-C PD standard. Seems to be a pattern here of f-up's from Nintendo. Breaking standards and implementing "proprietary" versions and they wonder why consumers are peeved? First the AC Adapter / Dock voltage and now this. Why the hell did all this get approved? It's a great device overall but for god's sake stick to standards established or use proprietary connectors and connection methods - it's not rocket science.
    As for the Switch joy-cons moving when held as per normal, this is due to another cost-cutting measure where instead of using metal rails on the joy-cons to match the metal rails on the side of the Switch, they went for plastic which flexes too much and gives relatively easy. Then to add the previous "warping" issues and "rear case cracking issues", Nintendo's quality has nosedived compared to previous hardware. In fact the Switch does not deserve the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" logo as too many "quality" corners were cut.
