Guido Russo Heck that’s why o got me and my wife the lite version. We both have a ps4. I suggest everyone to do the same if you have a big console already.
I have the Switch Lite, and it’s absolutely amazing! As a college student the versatility and how small it really helps when I have some down time in between classes. If you just want portable, I suggest this system!
YESS! I am a girl and I got grey one with black JETech case from Amazon. (I bought Nintendo Switch Pro Controller recently with Lamicall Tablet Stand, Adjustable Tablet Holder from Amazon), those two are for home only. It have been amazing!
"Do not get a switch lite" Sir.. I cannot afford a normal switch, so I either get a lite or not get a switch at all. Edit: I ended up waiting and 4 months later I got the normal switch and I honestly couldn't be happier! ^^
Every time a guy says “I can fit _______ in my pocket!” All the women in the room roll their eyes 🙄😒 Next big marketing move by Nintendo: making women’s pants with pockets big enough to hold a full-size switch.
Girl: Why won’t he get my signs The Signs: “Do not buy a Switch Lite... or do” “You should Definitely buy a Switch Lite” “You absolutely should not buy a Switch Lite”
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
Fox Gabanna It’s just for the rare occasions where we can dock a switch, and most of my friends also carry their docks for that reason too. And I just prefer the sturdiness of the Lite’s single shell when playing games like Fire Emblem and stuff
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. So thank you for being the first CZcamsr to mention it, it can be a big dealbreaker! I guess most of you are usually at home. -or don't have friends-
Reason I'm selling my Lite to get a V2. Hate playing on my own when my girlfriend is sitting next to me or at work during breaks my colleagues do their own thing. Tabletop mode unites people.
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.
@@gunstarrgames it has no dock support or kickstand. even you buy a kickstand case, sure will be fun always playing a meter away on a 5.5 inch screen and after getting the Pro controller, you're only 50 away from getting the proper Switch.
Apart from the Game and Watch systems, I've literally owned every single Nintendo handheld starting from the bulky OG Game Boy all the way through Color, Advance, Advance SP, DS, DS Lite, 3DS, and now Switch Lite 😇 I'm invested wholly into the idea of tabletop multiplayer but in the end I found myself more comfortable in investing on Switch Lite, because I love the portability of it, and yes I am still awestruck with how they managed to fit full-fledged 3D games and amazing RPGs like The Witcher, JRPGs like Dragon Quest, the Resident Evil's into one tiny machine. The experience worth it!
I love your channel very much bc I'm in New Zealand right, and so it's really expensive for a switch and my fam have been looking to buy one and you have helped me so much, thanks for all you do
MikeConqueror yeah definitely buy the regular switch for sure and for a first game I recommend smash bro’s or Mario Odyssey. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it😁
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
That resolution bit is huge. On a portable device, pixel density plays a major role. I was assuming that they reduced res as well as screen size, but I'm glad they didn't.
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.
Good video what I like about your channel is that you are an actual gamer. And you can tell that you actually know what you're talkin about because you played the games and you're not just reading from a scrips that somebody else wrote.
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!
The dpad feels so comfortable, when I’m playing BotW it is a lot more comfortable to swap weapons, it is a lot harder to damage the Lite and when I hold my friends normal switch it just tells clunkier once you use a Lite.
Replacing switch lite joysticks are fairly easy as long as you have the tools and are careful. Would say it takes as long as taking a part normal joycons.
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.
Both the switch lite and standard switch are wonderful. It just depends on how you’re going to use the console. And if you like both of them, you can always buy one first and then later on you can buy the other one!
Glad I found your video my son and I couldn’t decide on what was going to be the best fit for him as he only wants it for him self on to play thank you finally we made our mind up
same, i also don't really like how the joy-cons aren't a thing with the lite, the main thing with the switch is the joycons, and without that it's just eh
After 2 months with a regular switch. I havent even dock it. Could have bought the lite ver but my fear of the drift got me to purchase the the normal one
sry to make you guys sad but the switch lite actually does not have a chip in the thing to out put to a TV so even if you were to connect it to a dock it would not show
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.
They should make a switch lite s where it’s just a switch light but you can dock it and play on the tv. But it won’t come with an extra controller so they can keep costs down
Hi Kevin, How does the original switch compare to the switch lite as far as how hot each unit gets? Thank you for everything else you already covered. :)
I love my Pokemon edition switch lite it’s really awesome I’m actually glad that i did not buy the switch when it came out because this console feels right in hand and i love playing on the go.
I got a switch lite a few days after it was released. It started drifting in the first month. Decided to upgrade to a regular switch. Best decision I could have made. The switch lite is getting listed on ebay. >_
It's faulty though. You're still covered by warranty. Why wouldn't you take advantage of the warranty to have it repaired or replaced then sell it on eBay.
This helps a lot. I have a ps4 pro and will most likely get a ps5 pro. I don’t really care about the docking i am just happy they made a dedicated handheld for the switch!!! Getting mine in May!!!!
Regular switch can dock which is worth the £100 more for me as I'll nearly always play docked and if I'm not I have a better battery life so if the lite is meant for portability it doesn't do that great if it has a worse battery life.
it really just depends if you want it on your tv or not. As a person like myself that isn’t a huge tv person idc to have it show up on my tv, it’s a lot better just handheld and easier when you’re on the go and wanna take it with you :)
I actually have a jacket that allows me to fit my regular Switch in its case in its side pockets. 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.
I love my switch lite device! I play handheld most of the time and it’s lite and small that’s what it makes it perfect! ❤️ This device shouldn’t be compared to the regular switch.
This is the best video I have found comparing the two switches, I just go the switch lite and love it. Though I have my doubts and thought about returning it, this video helped me make my choice. Thanks, Kevin :)
I’ve had my switch since launch, and I’m not gonna lie, when I bought it, I thought I’d only be using it in handheld mode. However, with over 2 years of use from it now, I can confidently say I would’ve highly regretted buying a switch lite, as I love being able to switch between handheld and tv mode.
I’m going to get this for my sister since I already have a switch but I want to play Pokémon and smash Bros in areas with her but she could still play on mine
*1* The text size might SEEM like it’s a bigger problem on the Lite, but I’ve found it’s not an issue whatsoever. *2* The Switch Lite cannot be rivaled for handheld mode. It’s the perfect handheld. Combined with the magnetic flip case, a dream come true. 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
The fact that it doesn't "switch" takes away from the beauty and magic of why I fell in love with it. It's almost false advertising to call it a Switch
Yeah! And they made special edition GameBOYs specifically for girls, like wtf Nintendo. Totally betraying why I fell in love with the GameBOY. Hope they have good lawyers, cause I'm suing for false advertising to call it a GameBOY.
@@malcolmwilliams3469 Also I was told "Vita" meant "life", but they killed that system like 3 years in like wtf totally the opposite of "life". We should all band together and stop Sony's injustices imo.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU you’re like the only person who helped me cuz my mama was mad ash at me for wanting the lite but rn imma send her this to convince her and I think she’s gonna be convinced cuz honestly I wasn’t even sure and now I am sure of it thank you❤️( I don’t even own a tv in my room it’s in the living room and I’m sure no one wants to see me play lmao)
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.
I'm quite interested to dock the switch and play through my beautiful display and sound system, but I also don't see myself heavily investing in the console as there are only a few games I want to play. this has left me indecisive.
cxxl dxde it’s running smoothly with each game I’ve played including Warframe and Pokémon shield. Haven’t had much issues with it so far and still loving it.🥰
Might consider buying Switch Lite. Love the Switch, and mine is the V2 but still with the never ending problems with the joy cons such as connectivity issue during handheld play & etc. Already sent for repairs and still waiting for it.
Does anyone know how to fix stick drift, whenever I try to re calibrate my controller it won’t move when I try to move the ball to the arrow (which is how you re calibrate it). I’m just gonna butynew Joycons for my Switch I think but idk.
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.
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.
I have both the regular and the lite and I justified it in my head as “the regular switch is my normal everyday tv console (just like a ps4 or xbox)” and the switch lite is my upgrade to my 3ds 🤪
Ppl: if u want portability go for the switch lite. Original switch: was my primary advertising a joke to you? Switch lite: allow me to introduce myself
I bought the lite because of quarantining and the fact that the switches are $500 now due to supply and demand during the covid-19 outbreak and I love it! Granted I am playing solo no Mario cart or super smash bros with family for a solo console I treat it like a gameboy and love it! But if you can wait for the switch to come back in stock I could see waiting for it.

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 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.

This comment was very helpful because I'm trying to decide between the two. Thank you!! :)
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.

Apart from the Game and Watch systems, I've literally owned every single Nintendo handheld starting from the bulky OG Game Boy all the way through Color, Advance, Advance SP, DS, DS Lite, 3DS, and now Switch Lite 😇 I'm invested wholly into the idea of tabletop multiplayer but in the end I found myself more comfortable in investing on Switch Lite, because I love the portability of it, and yes I am still awestruck with how they managed to fit full-fledged 3D games and amazing RPGs like The Witcher, JRPGs like Dragon Quest, the Resident Evil's into one tiny machine. The experience worth it!
Thanks for the review! This helped me make a decision Christmas shopping for my kids!
I love your channel very much bc I'm in New Zealand right, and so it's really expensive for a switch and my fam have been looking to buy one and you have helped me so much, thanks for all you do
Let’s be honest he convinces us to buy the switch lite and he also convinces to NOT buy the switch lite
Make up your mind
10,000 subs with No content challenge then, I’ll go for the regular switch.
MikeConqueror yeah definitely buy the regular switch for sure and for a first game I recommend smash bro’s or Mario Odyssey. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it😁
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
Yes.
Yes
This is't your video
LEVEL256PACMAN ASDF how did you even come up with that
@@level256pacmanasdf3 he's just saying his opinion in the comments
That resolution bit is huge. On a portable device, pixel density plays a major role. I was assuming that they reduced res as well as screen size, but I'm glad they didn't.
No labo.
Oh wait, theres nothing wrong with that.
Norcymadar yeah idc about labo
Doesn't F.I.T.
I’m just happy the switch lite is bigger than my 3ds lol
Idk, I'd kind of like a switch mini
For real aye let me follow your IG what is is cause i gettin a switch lite soon
Gregory Taylor nigha
@@TeamCompy why you say that for man was thier something i said??
@@gregorytaylor240 there*
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.
Good video what I like about your channel is that you are an actual gamer. And you can tell that you actually know what you're talkin about because you played the games and you're not just reading from a scrips that somebody else wrote.
man you are getting better and better everyday, till now you are my best channel for gaming
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!
Awesome! Did you ever get that lite, if you did, tell me how it is
🤔...Great input on everything...👍🏼 An all-around great review with awesome user data...💯✔
The dpad feels so comfortable, when I’m playing BotW it is a lot more comfortable to swap weapons, it is a lot harder to damage the Lite and when I hold my friends normal switch it just tells clunkier once you use a Lite.
Kevin: Do buy the switch lite
Also Kevin: Do not buy the switch lite
Replacing switch lite joysticks are fairly easy as long as you have the tools and are careful. Would say it takes as long as taking a part normal joycons.
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.
This is the best switch lite review I found thank you for all the info!
Both the switch lite and standard switch are wonderful. It just depends on how you’re going to use the console. And if you like both of them, you can always buy one first and then later on you can buy the other one!
One million sub hat removal. I know we were all thinking it, but i said it.
He already did
@@frikynikkid yeah... he has old boii hair
Please!
@@BassMaster.454 link? Pls
Pls
Glad I found your video my son and I couldn’t decide on what was going to be the best fit for him as he only wants it for him self on to play thank you finally we made our mind up
Warning, low space for games and it has joy con drift which is bad and you have to buy another lite or go and try to get it fixed.
This is a great video, a great comparison :)
I have been saving for a year to get the regular switch and finally have enough, until I saw the prices of the games.
The fact that it can't dock is the big killer for me.
same, i also don't really like how the joy-cons aren't a thing with the lite, the main thing with the switch is the joycons, and without that it's just eh
If I have the option to play on my switch on the dock I'm playing it on the dock there is no exceptions the extra 100 dollars is worth it
After 2 months with a regular switch. I havent even dock it. Could have bought the lite ver but my fear of the drift got me to purchase the the normal one
Lens Hunter true but i actually bought it for the portability, i already had a pc and an xbox one and ps4
sry to make you guys sad but the switch lite actually does not have a chip in the thing to out put to a TV so even if you were to connect it to a dock it would not show
This was really helpful. Thank you!
Viewers that trust Kevin opinions: Should we get it
Kevin Kenson: Well yes but actually no
Him: don't buy it
Me: I don't need it...I NEEEED ITTT
Im only ever at work i need my switch just for the games
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.
Finally! Someone who uploads in 18:9!
Kevin: The horrifying term of stick drift
Me: *goosebumps*
They should make a switch lite s where it’s just a switch light but you can dock it and play on the tv. But it won’t come with an extra controller so they can keep costs down
nooo i like the lite bc its only a handheld ill just stick to my original 3ds
Thank you helped a lot 👍🏼
Thank you it helped me a lot in choicing which model I should buy 😊
When I saw the limited edition switch lite the first time, I knew that was the one for me.
@ur mom how come? It should be sold in any game shop? If not, you should try buying online, Amazon and a whole lot of other sites sells them.
1:19 secret part that comes up for a second
Hi Kevin, How does the original switch compare to the switch lite as far as how hot each unit gets? Thank you for everything else you already covered. :)
10:40 mind drifted and thought i was looking at Jared Leto for a second there 😂
I love my Pokemon edition switch lite it’s really awesome I’m actually glad that i did not buy the switch when it came out because this console feels right in hand and i love playing on the go.
I got a switch lite a few days after it was released. It started drifting in the first month. Decided to upgrade to a regular switch. Best decision I could have made. The switch lite is getting listed on ebay. >_
It's faulty though. You're still covered by warranty. Why wouldn't you take advantage of the warranty to have it repaired or replaced then sell it on eBay.
PL: Wypuściłem taki film wczesniej paruwo!!!
ENG: Great job! keep it going!
This helps a lot. I have a ps4 pro and will most likely get a ps5 pro. I don’t really care about the docking i am just happy they made a dedicated handheld for the switch!!! Getting mine in May!!!!
Regular switch can dock which is worth the £100 more for me as I'll nearly always play docked and if I'm not I have a better battery life so if the lite is meant for portability it doesn't do that great if it has a worse battery life.
The lite has 3x the battery
Kevin plz just review switch products while eating baked beans
What if he spills it all over himself
Mission complete
Yes
How about switch unboxing and review...with shirtless
This
it really just depends if you want it on your tv or not. As a person like myself that isn’t a huge tv person idc to have it show up on my tv, it’s a lot better just handheld and easier when you’re on the go and wanna take it with you :)
I actually have a jacket that allows me to fit my regular Switch in its case in its side pockets. 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.
I love my switch lite device! I play handheld most of the time and it’s lite and small that’s what it makes it perfect! ❤️ This device shouldn’t be compared to the regular switch.
Hi, have you experienced any joycon drift?
@@dolores3585 hi! no :)
@@patmaux Thanks for reply :)
A lite is just a switch for people with no friends... like me.✋
Not Quizza facts
How is this relatable-
I-
That’s not true, if you can local play or online play on switch so you can make friends
This is the best video I have found comparing the two switches, I just go the switch lite and love it. Though I have my doubts and thought about returning it, this video helped me make my choice. Thanks, Kevin :)
And now ? I think I will buy the lite
I was lucky enough to get a switch lite and at first I wasn't a fan of the switch at all but once I started to play it I absolutely loved it
I’ve had my switch since launch, and I’m not gonna lie, when I bought it, I thought I’d only be using it in handheld mode. However, with over 2 years of use from it now, I can confidently say I would’ve highly regretted buying a switch lite, as I love being able to switch between handheld and tv mode.
I’m going to get this for my sister since I already have a switch but I want to play Pokémon and smash Bros in areas with her but she could still play on mine
*1* The text size might SEEM like it’s a bigger problem on the Lite, but I’ve found it’s not an issue whatsoever.
*2* The Switch Lite cannot be rivaled for handheld mode. It’s the perfect handheld. Combined with the magnetic flip case, a dream come true. 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
This is what I’m asking for, for Christmas even though I already have a regular switch
PS4 : Black Friday is cool I guess
Xbox : Black Friday is alright
Nintendo : HELL NO
The fact that it doesn't "switch" takes away from the beauty and magic of why I fell in love with it. It's almost false advertising to call it a Switch
Malcolm Williams but still its really cool
Yeah! And they made special edition GameBOYs specifically for girls, like wtf Nintendo. Totally betraying why I fell in love with the GameBOY.
Hope they have good lawyers, cause I'm suing for false advertising to call it a GameBOY.
@@tailwindlive didn't know that, thanks for the education.
@@gligarguy4010 I'm also upset that the "X"box is still shaped like a four sided box, rather than in the shape of an "X" too
@@malcolmwilliams3469 Also I was told "Vita" meant "life", but they killed that system like 3 years in like wtf totally the opposite of "life".
We should all band together and stop Sony's injustices imo.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU you’re like the only person who helped me cuz my mama was mad ash at me for wanting the lite but rn imma send her this to convince her and I think she’s gonna be convinced cuz honestly I wasn’t even sure and now I am sure of it thank you❤️( I don’t even own a tv in my room it’s in the living room and I’m sure no one wants to see me play lmao)
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.
Try growing out your bread as long as you can and try to get a Santa Claus beard.
Mr. IdkWho u mean beard XD ?
U can't grow bread bruh
Don’t buy the switch lite?
Buy the switch lite? 🤯 this grinds my gears.
I'm quite interested to dock the switch and play through my beautiful display and sound system, but I also don't see myself heavily investing in the console as there are only a few games I want to play. this has left me indecisive.
so which one did you pick up ?
Omg thank you 😊 you saved me from researching everything!
(*Lazy me*)
When you realize Kevin has 666k subs and realize that satin himself has done something
I got my switch lite the day it arrived and I haven’t regretted it ever since.
any update?
cxxl dxde My switch lite always gets updated like every other game consoles.
@@katprime2386 oh i mean an update on how the switch is doing lol
cxxl dxde it’s running smoothly with each game I’ve played including Warframe and Pokémon shield. Haven’t had much issues with it so far and still loving it.🥰
@@katprime2386 okay thank you:)) any drift?
Might consider buying Switch Lite. Love the Switch, and mine is the V2 but still with the never ending problems with the joy cons such as connectivity issue during handheld play & etc. Already sent for repairs and still waiting for it.
Really good comparison 👍🏾 😃
Does anyone know how to fix stick drift, whenever I try to re calibrate my controller it won’t move when I try to move the ball to the arrow (which is how you re calibrate it). I’m just gonna butynew Joycons for my Switch I think but idk.
Who else thinks that Nintendo should make Pokemon Sword and Shield Joy-Cons
What if they the shape of a Sword and the shape of a shield. I would buy Them
Sean Recinos that would be really uncomfortable lol
@@aedrux It Will be cool Though. Right? Also It will Be Like The Pokeball Controller For Pokemon Let's go
Maximo Muñiz yeah but it could have the Pokémon sword and shield on it and it could be gray with the highlight like the switch lite one
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.
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.
I have both the regular and the lite and I justified it in my head as “the regular switch is my normal everyday tv console (just like a ps4 or xbox)” and the switch lite is my upgrade to my 3ds 🤪
Ppl: if u want portability go for the switch lite.
Original switch: was my primary advertising a joke to you?
Switch lite: allow me to introduce myself
Yuzu Aihara not funny
NO one:
4 year olds in youtube
Not funny.
Not sure if anybody else has said this yet, but the Nintendo Switch that comes with the red box has a slightly better cooling system.
I bought the lite because of quarantining and the fact that the switches are $500 now due to supply and demand during the covid-19 outbreak and I love it! Granted I am playing solo no Mario cart or super smash bros with family for a solo console I treat it like a gameboy and love it! But if you can wait for the switch to come back in stock I could see waiting for it.
