NintendoSwitch Lite - Yellow

I bought this Switch Lite and a Switch OLED (the bigger version that connects to tv too). The Switch lite is the one that stayed, and I returned the OLED. I think it’s a personal decision, so there’s nothing “wrong” with either. I had to own both to see which I preferred. For me, the lighter weight and slightly smaller size was what won the race for the Lite. And I love the yellow color. This reminds me more of the classic GameBoy’s more, with the buttons and custom colors being more nostalgic to me. The OLED is a lot larger and heavier, and while I liked the idea of connecting to the tv, I ended up using the handheld method more. The screen is plenty big enough that I didn’t need the tv (for me). Great graphics and coming from a GameBoy Advance SP, this newer Switch Lite was an upgrade but still kept the familiar look and feel of what I am used to. The OLED felt like holding a laptop, just too much stuff for me that I didn’t need.Spending many hours playing this and it makes me feel like a kid again, very fun. And Nintendo makes the style of games that I prefer anyways (Mario, happier less violent games), so everything lined up perfectly. Buy one, you won’t be disappointed! The Lite is very nostalgic, and the newer upgrades are nicely balanced with that.

The first one that I received had a faulty R shoulder button. It only registered button-presses when pressed from the top, but if the pressure was on an angle, from the top and corner, as shoulder button presses often are, it would not register, or only register 20% of the time. Also the R button made a weird “pinging” sound when pressed, like a spring noise (which is likely what it was).Also, and I didn’t even mention this in the return request, the display looked “off”. Colors were kind of washed out, and everything white was a bluish hue.I started a return with amazon, which was very easy, as I could just drop it off at my local Kohl’s, and they sent me a replacement.Replacement was perfect. I am so glad I didn’t just keep the first unit. However, I can’t shake the feeling that the first unit was already returned before, as the packaging seemed to have been opened, and the unit had various scraps of lint or dust on it, and a partial fingerprint on the display.This seems like a pattern to me. I suspect items that are returned are evaluated, and if the person doing the evaluation doesn’t find anything wrong with the item, it is put into a pile that becomes available for same-day delivery.I don’t know if that is true at all, but it seems like it might be, because, fairly often, I’m sent something that has some minor issue, and only after returning it I receive a pristine and perfect item.In any case the switch lite is great and I highly recommend it. I’ve been plugging away at Pokémon Sword. Unfortunately, due to Nintendo’s decision to NOT allow cloud backups of Pokémon save files, i had to start over completely, as this was a replacement for a switch lite that stopped powering on, and which Nintendo wanted too much money to repair, along with a warning that I would likely lose my data. Shame on them!

Todo excelente

Of course this had to be 5 stars, it's Nintendo! This smaller, more lightweight version of the Switch definitely earns the title of "Lite", but dont let that fool you. Its every bit the power and capabilities of the big guy- just in a smaller, more portable, easier to carry and take with you body. I'd recommend the Switch Lite to casual gamers, those that dont really spend that much time on videogames and their vibe is more tailored to one-player games they catch up with every now and then while theyre in the subway on their way to work or at the kitchen waiting for dinner to finish cooking. The controllers dont detach like the original Switch does, but then again, if youre that much of a casual player, you dont need them too. You can still do multiplayer as long as its online, and in extreme scenarios it does recognize wireless controllers, so you can set it up as a mini screen instead, but that would be something more hardcore gamers would do, and for that, theres the oroginal Switch. This one is more private, more you-exclusive, your own little world just for you and no one else. That's the Switch Lite! And the colors? The original Switch wishes it could do that! Theres three fun colors to choose from (and black, well, more of like a really dark gray). I went with the yellow and havent regretted it since. People who see it love the color too. I hear its the color that most runs out of shelves because people love it so much, but I digress.The Switch Lite is a little beast! And every game for the Switch is just as playable and downloadable in it as it is for the original, and to top it off, its a full one hundred dollars less than the big guy! Itd say for a more personalized, maybe even casual gaming experience, you just cant beat the Nintendo Switch Lite. I love it!

Bought as a gift for a 6 year old, he is now 7 and it's taken quite the beating but still looks and works like new!
