Nintendo Switch Lite for Players on the Go

Nintendo has demonstrated its understanding of the gaming-on-the-go philosophy from the moment it first entered the video game industry. In the past, Nintendo showed it could develop a console that could be equally enjoyable whether used as a home gaming console or enjoyed in other locations. The company is going even further now with its Nintendo Switch Lite and demonstrating that a first-rate gaming console can be designed, developed, and enjoyed by gamers without the thought or use of a television.

Some gamers have described the Switch Lite as a smaller version of the Nintendo Switch. The Switch Lite touch screen is a little more than half an inch smaller than the one designed for its predecessor at 5.5 inches. The Switch Lite stands 3.6 inches tall when placed on a flat surface and is 8.2 inches long. The controller layout and card slots are the same as the Switch. The Lite weighs in at only .61 pounds, however.

The controls are a little different for the Switch Lite and may take a little getting used to for longtime Switch players. The Nintendo Switch Lite is available in yellow, gray, and teal.

The game availability for the Nintendo Switch Lite is not quite as expansive as with the Nintendo Switch due to the fact that the Lite is only able to play Switch games that are compatible with hand-held play. However, despite just being a hand-held play console, there are more than enough games available.

Some of the most popular games that can be enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch Lite include:

"Mario Kart 8 Deluxe"

"Super Mario Odyssey"

"Pokemon Sword and Shield"

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

"Animal Crossing: New Horizons"

A number of accessories are available for the Nintendo Switch Lite to both add a bit of protection to your system and individualize your Switch Lite to your liking. This fact will hold true whether you purchase an accessory kit or choose to select the individual accessories for your Nintendo Switch Lite yourself.

First off, a portable game will need a protective case. There are a number of these cases to choose from, including the official carry case offered by Nintendo. In addition to a decorative skin, you can individualize your Nintendo Switch Lite with items like screen protectors, power cords, and headphones.
