The new Nintendo Switch Lite has finally been revealed after months of speculation and rumors about new hardware from the company, and people seem to be welcoming the news thus far. It’s a smaller, cheaper version of the normal Nintendo Switch that’s only playable in handheld mode, and while that might not be for everyone, it’s definitely a smart fit for a lot of people if we’re going off the reactions popping up on Twitter and other social media sites.

Some Thoughts on the Switch Lite
Switch Lite Thoughts:

Pros:
– Sleeker design
– An actual D-Pad
– Officially killing off the 3DS
– Great price ($199!)
Cons:
– Joy-Cons don’t detach
– No docked mode (Really?) basically removing it’s big innovation to other consoles
– No IR Camera or HD Rumble
– No updated specs pic.twitter.com/gdlWQOmpoR

Not for Everybody
I can respectably say the Switch Lite isnโt for me.

If it was dockable & the handheld was 1080P, wouldโve been an insta buy. But the only notable upgrade is battery life.
BUT this is gonna sell HUGE for people looking for a cheaper entry & only wanna play in handheld! pic.twitter.com/3jWRIGhQRo

in case you were struggling to gauge the size of the switch lite, it’s just about the width of a standard switch minus one joycon when you overlay the side-by side comparison pic.twitter.com/e7izT2KuEo
