Nintendo Switch Lite is officially! This is the smaller, much cheaper version of the console

Nintendo officially presented a smaller, much cheaper version of its latest hybrid console. Nintendo Switch Lite is designed to convince the undecided.

I have many friends who would be very keen on the Nintendo Switch, but they are a bit scared of the price of a hybrid console. The switch is more expensive than the more powerful PS4 and the more efficient XONE. The solution for such people may turn out to be Nintendo Switch Lite - a new, cheaper and smaller version of the device that has just been presented to the world.

The Nintendo Switch Lite will cost $ 200. It's up to $ 100. less than the standard version.

Of course, savings of up to 1/3 of the price of the device must be compensated with some compromises. The biggest one is the fact that the Joy-Cony Lite is permanently attached to the console. You can not eject them, and to play in wireless controller mode, we have to buy a separate set of pads. The second gigantic disadvantage of a cheaper set is the lack of compatibility with televisions. You will not connect Lite to TV. It is a strictly mobile product.

Nintendo Switch Lite, however, has some improvements and advantages over the first version of the console. The device is noticeably lighter than it. To this it seems more robust, because of the unified body devoid of retractable Joy-Con. The discussion of the difference is the conversion of directional buttons into the directional cross. In my experience, it is easier to activate an undesirable direction on the Teutonic Knights. Especially in fights.

The Nintendo Switch Lite also has a slightly more powerful battery.

However, Japanese device architects do not reveal any details about it. The battery will last longer, but not much longer. The difference from the original Switch with the game being launched is most likely from a few to a dozen or so minutes. Always something. Especially when flying by plane or traveling by train, and the powerbank and charger landed on the bottom of a large suitcase.

A disadvantage, in turn, can be considered a reduced console display. The screen in the first 6.2-inch Switch was replaced with a 5.5-inch screen. To the back of the housing there was no foot, thanks to which it was possible to place the Switch in a stable position. Fortunately, all previously released accessories - Poke Ball Plus, Joy-Cony or Pro Controller - are fully compatible with the new device. His premiere was planned for September 2019.
