Who's Buying the Switch Lite?

[Toby80]

Who is going to get the new Switch Lite? I'm currently eyeing up the grey Pokemon edition and will most likely purchase it. There's a lot of people up in arms about it not being good value but I think it's great for people who want a cheaper option to get into the Nintendo franchise. If you're only going to use it on the go then its nice to have a cheaper option and I don't think it really suffers that much in the other comparisons with the original version.

I'm not getting one, owning an original already. Also, I'd be hesitant to get any new Switch unless and until Nintendo decisively solve the Joy-Con issues with drift and poor connectivity. The Joy-Cons, for all their wonderful gimmicks, are some of the poorest controllers Nintendo have ever made.

Nah, my ideal switch would a combination of the two. A Small form factor like the Lite for easier handheld play, but still dockable. Plus the built in joycons are a mistake 1) people are having drifting issues 2) you can't play all games.

I ended up getting one and I love it.  It's built quite well and feels very solid.  It's heavier than I thought it would be, but feels comfortable in my hands.  I've played the SNES game suite and Skyrim, and the small screen definitely makes some aspects of Skyrim tougher - text can be challenging.  But all in all, I'm more than happy with my purchase!
