After many rumors, the “mini” version of Nintendo Switch was finally announced and it will be available in three colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. The official name is Nintendo Switch Lite and it is a less expensive version of the hybrid console. It is being sold for $199,99. It is a uniquely portable model, so it does not offer the dock and cannot be connected to the TV in any way.
There are obviously other changes. Nintendo Switch Lite is much lighter: it is a key feature for a portable console. The Joy-Con is part of the console structure. The layout of the controls is practically identical: the only difference is related to the directional buttons that have now been replaced by a real d-pad. Furthermore, the IR camera in the right Joy-con has been removed. Even the rumble HD is no longer present.
According to Nintendo, the console’s battery is slightly better than the hybrid version. The screen changes from 6.2 inches to 5.5 inches. A carrying case and screen protector set for Nintendo Switch Lite will also be available. The new device can play all games in the robust Nintendo Switch library that support handheld mode, but remember some games will have restrictions. Compatible game modes will be listed on the back of each game’s packaging and in the official Nintendo eShop. Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite owners can get together to enjoy compatible multiplayer titles like Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
