Nintendo Switch Lite

This is exactly the opposite of what I was hoping the cheaper Switch model would be.

Nintendo Switch Lite

This is exactly the opposite of what I was hoping the cheaper Switch model would be.

What did you want it to be?

[MagmaMcFry]

Bigger and heavier, drab industrial colors, Joy-Cons with individual detachable buttons, docked mode only?

[Folly]

What did you want it to be?

I wanted a console-only version. I don't care about going for a walk with my video game or wtfever that portable gimmick is for. I just want to relax at home and play games on the big screen.

[Ozyton]

I, too, wanted a Switch Heavy, for being a shut-in and playing vidya games by myself.

Japan is all abooot the going outside to play games and socializing though, so not too surprised by this.

I saw someone call this the NDS, the Nintendo Don't Switch.

[pikachu17]

You know how the announcements for Banjo&Kazooie and K.Rool were a lot alike?
I hope that one of the next characters revealed will do the same, especially if the character has nothing to do with them.

Just get a pro controller, and leave the thing docked.  Problem solved.  (Or go the cheap route, and get a handle kit for the joycons.)

[Ozyton]

I have gone that route, but it would've been nice to get just a little bit more power out of it, or at the very least better cooling.

Then again I don't use my switch enough to warrant actually getting a switch heavy

[wierd]

More power you say?

Like... Over clocking?

(and they sneered at me for demanding hackable consoles before purchase! Meh!)

What I wouldn't give for a proper dpad though.

Did you know you can store it in an ice water bath for better cooling?

I mean, don't, but you can.

[Greiger]

So does that mean in order to overclock our systems we should all move to Antarctica?

Is the internet there decent?

[MrRoboto75]

Is the internet there decent?

For switch online? no.

[wierd]

Satellite only. Reasonable thruput I hear, but HORRIBLE latency.  You will get PWND hard on splatoon. Sorry.

[Egan_BW]

No Nintendo, I don't wanna go outside.

[Shooer]

My only thing I take away concern is; with how poorly the controllers have performed mechanically are they going to get some better engineering/manufacturing on the ones built into the switch lite?  At least with the normal switch you can get them changed out/replaced. 

I would not be happy buying a console with the same quality joycons my switch came with built into it, or the quality of the replacements I got for those.
