this looks nice. lack of Bluetooth continues to be a negative but I understand why they skip it.

+30% battery life is a real plus if true

But if I start a game on my main switch then I can't continue it on the switch lite...

I think it's cool but as a switch owner I don't see getting the lite for the house cause the kids wanna play labo and I want to play dqxi.

Or am I wrong?

This is so pointless
But also the 2DS was and yet it sold a lot

So I guess it will be useful for some people

This is for kids who don't have a switch yet who are going to be begging their parents for pokemon and super casuals that only play animal crossing

I don't think they're going to rush that out. The lite is for kids that want pokemon or casuals that want animal crossing or just people eco only play mobile. It's the right time for it

If they release the pro there won't be any software to tie it into or a reason to do it

Seems like it'd be good for kids on long trips, when you don't want to spend $300 on multiple switches when you have more than 1 kid.

I mean I kinda figured that the Switch Lite would be handheld-only and Switch XL would be console-only.

Nintendo always does this with their handhelds. The launch colors are meh and then they release the good colors/themes later on.

The thing they're going for is cost. If all someone wants to do is get a portable system, this is a good choice. Why spend the extra $100 for a dock and features you don't need when you could spend less and get just a portable system?

Most of the people I see complaining about it are people that already have a Switch. This isn't meant for them. It's meant for people that don't want to spend $300 and/or don't care about docked mode that don't have a Switch yet.

Have they said anything about whether you can share an account across a normal Switch and a Switch Lite? If you can't I have pretty much no interest; I'm not gonna partition my games across two systems.

Don't know if it's technically unsupported but Snipperclips would be impossible to play without buying joycons.

I might get one of these for my kid, although the complete lack of TV mode is a letdown. I mean obviously it wouldn't fit the original dock and including one wouldn't work with the cheaper/minimal idea behind this version, but it seems like something they could sell separately.

i'm sure market research shows that the demographic they're aiming for ("kids 8-15 that want pokemon, fortnite and maybe animal crossing") like those colors

and if not then they get gray

I think you're overestimating how long it's going to take for BOTW2 to come out. I'm guessing holiday 2020 personally.

I know it's meant for people that want to use it as a handheld/kids with parents that are not willing to spend $300
And yet I feel like getting rid of the docked mode is huge
I am also planning to use my Switch as just a handheld, but I like having the option to connect it to a TV, regardless
I also prefered to play Let's Go with the Joy Cons, while the Switch was standing on it's hinge-thingy
