What do you think about this? Will it be a success? Will you buy one yourself?

It reminds me a lot of the Wii mini...
I think we all know how well that went....

 

[Spirit]

Im not gonna be bothering with this. I'm 97% a docked Switch player so a smaller version with everything that makes the Switch special and immersive missing out of the box is a hard skip

 

[Azure Sage]

I am a 97% handheld user so this is kind of appealing to me. However, I have no intention of getting one before I need to. My current switch has plenty of life in it. Unless that changes, I’m sticking with what I’ve got.

 

[Dizzi]

Im sticking with Az and mines still gotta lotta life in it....

 

[Princess Niki]

I am sticking with mine but might get one in the future if Pokemon interests me completely again for trading.

What do I think?
As a pure 3DS replacement for cash strapped parents to get one for their children, it's possibly a good move. But for everyone else, just stick with the original Switch.

I don't even like handheld gaming for big games as I'd rather play on my large TV so I'll definitely be giving this a miss. I don't even use my original switch that much anyway.

 

[el :BeoWolf:]

I can't believe it's actually real lmao. I won't be getting it since I already have a switch. I can only imagine if those controls start drifting

 

[Spiritual Mask Salesman]

The only color that looks decent is the Grey one. I probably won't buy it, but I'm glad it's an affordable option to the regular Switch, and that more people will be able to enjoy Switch games.

 

[A Link In Time]

I'm not feeling it. I'm mostly playing in handheld mode these days, but removing HD rumble and the option to even play on a TV is pretty bad. Nintendo should have cut out the dock but still included an HDMI port.

Seeing as the Switch Lite is just a downgraded version of the main thing with one of its biggest appeals removed (TV compatibility), I won't be picking this up, but it certainly would be the perfect gift for kids. I'm questioning whether or not the Lite is really pocket-friendly, though, because its not as compact as the 3DS and didn't look much smaller than the regular Switch. Time will tell, but I doubt the majority of Switch owners will get one for themselves.

Well, at least they didn't completely forget about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 @5.24. Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiill waiting on the profile icons, too.

No one shared GameXplain's video on this? I guess I'll link her here...



Neat colors, like the white button color scheme, and if the d-pad feels good, that'd be another plus, but otherwise, it's not a product made for me. Love my original switch still. Kinda curious where micro sd cards will go since there's no stand on these; I know it'll be on the system, just not sure where.

The 2ds of Switches, and that's a good option to have.

I guess someone had to do this. I'll never know why though.

Since I already have a Switch I don't really have any reason to this. It is nice for them to have the variety for people who might have this suiting them better but even if I had the choice between the two I'd pick a regular Switch.
