I don’t see the point of having a switch at home and a switch on the go because the regular switch was meant to eliminate that problem by being able to switch
Yeah but let’s be real. The OG switch IS a little too big to be considered truly portable. Why they did THIS is beyond me, it seems like they could have created an entirely new actual handheld that served that purpose better, but maybe they were all out of good ideas for the next few years and figured, “Eh, whatever. People will still buy this thing.” All said, I’m in for the switch lite as well as owning a docked switch.
lol yeah I highly doubt that is it. While it's hilarious to see some fruit squeezing a 3ds or another portable system in their skinny jeans I doubt that's the reason at all since my ps4 controllers always do the same shit I leave them on a safe area at all times. It's just wear and tear because items now a days are made to break down on purpose.
I never put my switch in my pocket, and bought a dedicated case for travel. My joycons have been drifting a while, and have finally hit the point the drift is too bad to work around.
@@WintrBorn yeah nintentdo built a flimsy ass joy stick on purpose. That in the pants pocket thing is retarded since that drifting shit happens on every platform lol.
C VI will a pro work in handheld exclusively? I think my switch has been docked twice. My solution was to buy a pair of cheap 3rd party ones. I'm sending mine off when Nintendo finallu opens, and likely won't even use them after.
I've used both and honestly people are underselling how much more comfortable the lite is to hold for longer sessions. Perfectly fine for most popular games like Smash, Odyssey etc and I mostly play indie games on the go anyway.
Honestly! And as someone with super small hands it's so much easier to play than the average switch on the handheld. I love mine so much, and I just bought it yesterday!
I tried to play a game on my OG Switch last night after playing my Lite since launch day and there is a night and day difference! The Lite is a better size/weight IMO
Who else is sticking with their normal switch? If you like playing on 1080p on the tv or are on the go fairly often, the switch is for you If you are on a tight budget or you are a full portable gamer, or you want that longer battery life, lite is for you If there is a switch pro down the line, will you get it? I would buy it if it could be 1080p in handheld and 4K in docked or something crazy like that. I prefer the normal switch over the lite, especially the newer version with better battery life.
@@brandon_nope yeah ive changed it now. Its cause Ive been waiting for it for a while so when people were still guessing it was the switch mini coming out next I still remember it as that
The thing is, that the switch lite makes far more sense (even when we look at the pros)in different regions. I bought it in Hungary in Central Europe, here there's around a 170$ difference between the two variants. It obviously doesn't help here, that the government is milking the electronics segment with ridiculous taxes.
I normally game on my Xbox one, I went and grabbed a lite because I don't need another full sized console. I've had it for a week already and love it. It was definitely worth it to me 😊
“Switch lite is more comfortable!” Yeah but if I’m super desperate I can unattache my joy cons and plan like that. Or just buy a pro controller. The only reason I would get a lite is the price, and lets be real that’s why Nintendo made it, because they knew the normal switch was over priced in lots of people’s eyes so they got rid of the options that made it a switch, the lite is just a new d.s with better graphics and new game options and a bigger screen
Got the switch lite to have another animal crossing island, it feels really good in my hands way more comfortable than my OG switch, if you don’t mind playing in portable mode it’s definitely worth it.
@@boovora512 If you ever get the chance to be with the Lite, take a look at the vent to the right. Or watch a teardown video, I know Spawn Wave brought it up.
I had the regular switch, never took off joycons or plugged in to tv but it felt fragile, sold it and got this and im in love, screen is amazing and device is comfortable
TheQuiksilver101 if they announce a switch lite BOTW 2 theme one. I will pre order the fuck out of that switch lite instantly. Tho I would mainly use the OG switch 😂. Being a Zelda collector is my only problem lol.
I've been doing ton of switch research recently and decided the original is the best for me. I don't think it's worth it to lose home mode plus downgrade size for only a $100 difference. I'm just gonna save and pay the extra and get all the extra features:)
Me too, if it had a screen output, this would be an insta buy, now it's just a regular handheld, which is not a bad thing, but that's the whole point of the Switch, the games are stunning, I want to appreciate them in a bigger screen, that's too bad :/
True but there are times where you have to read with the absence of voice acting. Such as game instructions, settings, inventory, and the books in the library. FE:TH's text size is incredibly small. Played it on both switch and switch lite and I found myself squinting so often.
Something a lot of people overlook with the lite is the weight. I've been using my Switch Lite so much more than my launch Switch, because it's so much lighter. Even though it's a little more cramped, I find it more comfortable to use, because I don't have to hold it as tight as my original switch.
The lite amazingly improves on the handheld side of the switch, but it's other side the home console side doesn't even exist. So we can call it half a switch can't we?
Agreed , I waited two years for the switch lite to come out to get into being a Nintendo switch owner and between the heat issue Kevin demonstrated and the potential drift issue I’d rather just buy a new version regular switch with the good battery. Nintendo likes making stuff to break and we pay for repairs or replacements 😡
I have a OG launch switch but I’m getting a lite for pure portable. A few months after that I’m getting new OG Switch for docked play. (Need lite for portable because normal switch is way to fragile)
For anyone interested, the regular switch didn't load the game faster, the loading screen went away sooner on it but the world lit up faster for the switch lite. Either way there is legit no difference and I don't see why he had to say the reg switch was faster especially since it wasn't
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that guys can fit an ENTIRE SWITCH (lite) into their POCKETS, im out here struggling with chapstick while they carrying their backpacks in their pants
Nah, the original 3DS was $170 eight years ago (actually opened at $250 before price cut) . Nintendo eight years later wouldn't lower the price on a more advanced unit.
@@thelionofthetribeofjudah9203 the launch of the Switch Lite in Japan placed second all time in the console revision category losing out to the 3DS XL in 2012, but beating out the PS4 Pro, New 3DS XL, and Gameboy Advance SP. It missed being 1st by approximately 10,000 units sold.
I know it seems like a dumb extra console but it's good for if you have family members who use it. If you take the switch somewhere your family members can still play at home.
to me the lite suffers the same issue the 2ds suffers from and that is, why bother when the original model offers best of both worlds. strange since the switch is a hybrid system and now its not, so are they now gonna make a dedicted tv system version of the switch?
I resent the whole “the switch already isn’t comfortable” I know a lot of people say this. Or on the internet anyways. I honestly don’t think it’s that bad. And, yeah the lite might be more comfortable bc you lose most of the abilities. I’m not having parties every night, or even like many family Nintendo games or games you would play in groups. But the option is there. The switch isn’t just dedicated to handheld so of course it’s going to feel a bit off. It’s not supposed to be just dedicated handheld. So if you’re basing off just portability, yeah it’s great. But overall the minor (veryyyy Minor) inconveniences of the joy cons not being connected are worth it knowing I have multiple play styles. Slightly less comfortable than dedicated home console or dedicated handheld but very comfortable as both.
@@RanLilly That second solution really isn't much of a solution because it pretty much defeats the entire purpose of a handheld system. Plus you also have to factor in that the Lite has not kickstand unlike its normal counterpart. It's clear that it was designed for handheld only and that being able to connect other controllers was just an extra/oversight depending on how you look at it. This whole system baffles me with how inept Nintendo can really be.
Spray on the edges of the thumbsticks with compact cleaner and dry it’s with cotton buds then spin it around for 1 minute and 30 seconds , also there is no possible way it’s gonna get broken because the air compressor is made for electronic devices, hope I helped :)
The Lite would be *perfect* if it could be connectable to a dock. That fixes everything that it lacks due to the $100 price drop. You could use Joycons for the HD Rumble, IR camera etc.
well in my opinion, you have 2 reasons to buy a Switch Lite,that is playing in handheld mode and not tv mode, and buy to your son or daughter if the other has already a regular one.
Switch lite less comfortable than the regular switch??? I have both and the switch lite is most definitely easier to hold and handle, especially for long periods of time. And I have big hands too. This is literally the only video I have seen say it is less comfortable.
Nah dude, I've held one myself and it's way less comfortable to me. Biggest reason I think is because the joy cons had a bigger "platform" area under the buttons and sticks, which helped position my thumbs correctly more easily, whereas the lite makes it much harder to hit the buttons/sticks on the bottom (Requiring a lot repeated shuffling to reach the right "joy con's" bottom analog stick for example, which was much easier to do), since the "platform" underneath is much smaller. I think it's on par with the OG switch if you play simple games that don't require full access to the controller, like tetris or most 2D games, but any game that's even a little bit more complex, I bet I would cramp my hands much faster than on my current switch.
Love this vids man, got a lite on day one, my first switch, only problem I find is that the intake vents for airflow is on back, so I set it down on my bed to go tend to my child and came back and it was HOT, so don’t block the vents lol! Great system tho!
I've had the switch lite for a month and a half and I can say that you should just get the regular switch, while the lite is a great device, it sorely misses the dock mode, detachable controls and table-top mode playability.
Have both the Lite and the OG Switch. I played 95% of the time in handheld anyway. If I wanna play a game on my TV, I’ll stick to my PS4..or easily send my save data to the OG Switch. The Lite is insanely comfortable, and the screen looks amazing. I don’t mind the half inch difference at all (that’s what she said). So far in a week I’ve been able to get around 4 hours of battery life during gameplay. I also love the way the new buttons feel, along with the D pad. Volume hasn’t been an issue either. All comes down to preference ya know? However personally, I absolutely love the Lite so far.
my household has 3 switches from the first day it was released. 2 have had its usb-c ports repaired and replaced 2 pairs of joycons for drifting so i would say having joycons stuck on is crazy unless you dont really play it much
My birthday is coming up and I will get a switch lite. I want this because I don't have a enough money to buy a regular switch so this is a better option since i have a Wii u. This is much better cause I always go on road trips and plane rides so this is really good in my opinon.
this one is really tempting me, but I already own an OG Switch (not the 2019 version) and besides, its price here in my country is a bit too high but maybe, next year...
I dig these switch videos you guys have been making just ya know giving your honest overall opinion about the system and what people should maybe consider when buying the new one or the lite.
Had my Lite for a week now, first Switch for me. I love it! True upgrade from my "New" 3DS. Didn't have the OG so I can't compare to see how I feel in terms of portability. One thing I will pick out is that it does get warm when playing, thus causing the clammy hand feeling. I do hope a nice Grip will alleviate this problem.
I just got my Switch Lite a few days ago, and I'm in the same boat having upgraded from the "NEW" 2DS XL, and the only way could play it for long periods without it digging into my palms was with a grip shell, and I just ordered a grip for my Switch Lite off eBay, as it's almost the same story for me with it playing for more than 1/2 an hour, plus my thumbs start to hurt a bit as well.
My best friend surprised me with a Nintendo Switch V2 as a birthday gift on Friday. I think he got tired of hearing me saying that I wish I had a Nintendo Switch lol. I don't have games though
if you play portably, you'll realize quickly HD rumble is more annoying than enjoyable. HD rumble works better when joycons are separated from the switch
Yeah that is a big minus for me. I love the rumble. I even bought the rumble pak for the ds when it had it for the few games that supported it. I always wished the psp and vita had rumble and glad the OG switch does. This lite has way to many minuses. I traded my OG system in for the v2 better battery new large switch. 6-9 battery life with rumble, detachable joycons and TV hookup is worth it!
Thanks for the video, it did not changed my choice in any ways on my future purchase, but now I know better about the two consoles. And I'm 100% sure now that for me, I'll buy a Switch Lite and not a regular Switch. It's kinda "sad" that it doesn't have the tremble on it, but I'll still buy it.
Theres an area in veridian forest in pokemon lets go where theres a noticable frame rate drop on the original switch. Once i bought the switch lite i played thay exact area again and i noticed that the frame drop is a little bit more noticable which is the only problem ive noticed when playing
@@Sunsetiscool who said it cant be powerful and still maintain it's purpose of being a console that can switch since it's called a switch. What yall are talking about Is a whole nother generation of console that nintendo hasn't made yet.
Before watching the video: Should I change my original switch to a switch light? After watching the video: What are those jeans at 13:38 that has so much space of pockets?
Owned both OG Switch and Lite and I gotta say the 2 biggest problems I have with it are 1. Obviously not being able to output video to a bigger display/TV 2. It’s as quiet as a mouse,it’s about as bad as one of those $29 androids actually even they are louder.There is a big noticeable difference in volume.
Why people not talking about this more, the volume on the Lite are way more quiet than the Normal Switch, even on the max volume it still hard to hear some games clearly.
as an only child I got the blue one and its so awesome since im always playing solo I got it yesterday and its so much fun (I got smash and links awakening) I never had a DS of any sort or like the playstation minis from ages ago so this is my first handheld gaming device and recommend 100000%
Will never happen, unless you want to hold a brick. Technology isn't there and even if it gets there it would be years before its low enough power to use smaller cooling required in a handheld.
@@midnightshade32 It will happen faster than you think....Look at our new generation of phones..It already has 12 gb of ram in a tiniest metal storage...we basically holding a small gaming computer in our pockets....so what makes you doubt about a console that is dedicated to gaming cannot do better? Hm?
@@JPogi690 for one cost. These flagship phones are 1000+. Consoles need to be cheap. Also phone games are no where near the graphics of dedicated consoles. Ps3 had 1080p games too. You can do 1080p but your not going to get 60 fPS unless you have graphics a generation or two behind. I don't see it happening for at least two years, nintendo is going to milk this successful system as it keeps getting sales.
Great vid as always. I only play Nintendo handheld now so looking forward to getting one when a snes limited edition cones out. As the 3ds they woukd be fools not to. Great its bigger as cramp is a problem on my 2ds xl.

I’d rather just buy a new version regular switch with the good battery. Nintendo likes making stuff to break and we pay for repairs or replacements 😡
I have a OG launch switch but I’m getting a lite for pure portable. A few months after that I’m getting new OG Switch for docked play. (Need lite for portable because normal switch is way to fragile)
for the regular switch don’t replace joycons just get a pro controller unless u wanna play handheld mode
For anyone interested, the regular switch didn't load the game faster, the loading screen went away sooner on it but the world lit up faster for the switch lite. Either way there is legit no difference and I don't see why he had to say the reg switch was faster especially since it wasn't
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that guys can fit an ENTIRE SWITCH (lite) into their POCKETS, im out here struggling with chapstick while they carrying their backpacks in their pants
I have a Nintendo Switch not lite and I could fit the whole thing in my pocket and there is still extra room
I feel the cheapo switch is just too expensive.
If it's price catch up to the production savings for at least $150 it will be a viable product though.
That's funny considering it's already sold like crazy in Japan. It's more than viable even if you don't love it.
Nah, the original 3DS was $170 eight years ago (actually opened at $250 before price cut) . Nintendo eight years later wouldn't lower the price on a more advanced unit.
Switch needs to drop to $250 and Lite needs to be $150
@@thelionofthetribeofjudah9203 the launch of the Switch Lite in Japan placed second all time in the console revision category losing out to the 3DS XL in 2012, but beating out the PS4 Pro, New 3DS XL, and Gameboy Advance SP. It missed being 1st by approximately 10,000 units sold.
@@thelionofthetribeofjudah9203 No worries. Just figured you'd want to know the real story. That's all.
I know it seems like a dumb extra console but it's good for if you have family members who use it. If you take the switch somewhere your family members can still play at home.
to me the lite suffers the same issue the 2ds suffers from and that is, why bother when the original model offers best of both worlds. strange since the switch is a hybrid system and now its not, so are they now gonna make a dedicted tv system version of the switch?
I resent the whole “the switch already isn’t comfortable” I know a lot of people say this. Or on the internet anyways. I honestly don’t think it’s that bad. And, yeah the lite might be more comfortable bc you lose most of the abilities. I’m not having parties every night, or even like many family Nintendo games or games you would play in groups. But the option is there. The switch isn’t just dedicated to handheld so of course it’s going to feel a bit off. It’s not supposed to be just dedicated handheld.
So if you’re basing off just portability, yeah it’s great. But overall the minor (veryyyy Minor) inconveniences of the joy cons not being connected are worth it knowing I have multiple play styles. Slightly less comfortable than dedicated home console or dedicated handheld but very comfortable as both.
Wait, since the "joycons" are permanently connected to it what happens if I get the infamous joycon drift?
You're screwed unless you take it to get repaired
repaired or get a controller, you can sync controllers on the lite.
@@RanLilly That second solution really isn't much of a solution because it pretty much defeats the entire purpose of a handheld system. Plus you also have to factor in that the Lite has not kickstand unlike its normal counterpart. It's clear that it was designed for handheld only and that being able to connect other controllers was just an extra/oversight depending on how you look at it. This whole system baffles me with how inept Nintendo can really be.
Replace the joy stick?
Spray on the edges of the thumbsticks with compact cleaner and dry it’s with cotton buds then spin it around for 1 minute and 30 seconds , also there is no possible way it’s gonna get broken because the air compressor is made for electronic devices, hope I helped :)
The Lite would be *perfect* if it could be connectable to a dock. That fixes everything that it lacks due to the $100 price drop. You could use Joycons for the HD Rumble, IR camera etc.
well in my opinion, you have 2 reasons to buy a Switch Lite,that is playing in handheld mode and not tv mode, and buy to your son or daughter if the other has already a regular one.
Switch lite less comfortable than the regular switch??? I have both and the switch lite is most definitely easier to hold and handle, especially for long periods of time. And I have big hands too. This is literally the only video I have seen say it is less comfortable.
You have small hands.
Nah dude, I've held one myself and it's way less comfortable to me. Biggest reason I think is because the joy cons had a bigger "platform" area under the buttons and sticks, which helped position my thumbs correctly more easily, whereas the lite makes it much harder to hit the buttons/sticks on the bottom (Requiring a lot repeated shuffling to reach the right "joy con's" bottom analog stick for example, which was much easier to do), since the "platform" underneath is much smaller. I think it's on par with the OG switch if you play simple games that don't require full access to the controller, like tetris or most 2D games, but any game that's even a little bit more complex, I bet I would cramp my hands much faster than on my current switch.
The switch can do everything a switch lite can but more.
Berdstick 7 wrong it can’t lite
Love this vids man, got a lite on day one, my first switch, only problem I find is that the intake vents for airflow is on back, so I set it down on my bed to go tend to my child and came back and it was HOT, so don’t block the vents lol! Great system tho!
I've had the switch lite for a month and a half and I can say that you should just get the regular switch, while the lite is a great device, it sorely misses the dock mode, detachable controls and table-top mode playability.
That small cooler patch in the middle of the Lite is interesting.
I was going to get a regular Switch but this video has SWITCHED my mind to a Lite.
Have both the Lite and the OG Switch. I played 95% of the time in handheld anyway. If I wanna play a game on my TV, I’ll stick to my PS4..or easily send my save data to the OG Switch. The Lite is insanely comfortable, and the screen looks amazing. I don’t mind the half inch difference at all (that’s what she said). So far in a week I’ve been able to get around 4 hours of battery life during gameplay. I also love the way the new buttons feel, along with the D pad. Volume hasn’t been an issue either. All comes down to preference ya know? However personally, I absolutely love the Lite so far.
13:38 watching that hurt me
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
Ok
my household has 3 switches from the first day it was released. 2 have had its usb-c ports repaired and replaced 2 pairs of joycons for drifting so i would say having joycons stuck on is crazy unless you dont really play it much
My switch almost never leaves the house. So I have no real justification for the lite. Looks nice though.
My birthday is coming up and I will get a switch lite. I want this because I don't have a enough money to buy a regular switch so this is a better option since i have a Wii u. This is much better cause I always go on road trips and plane rides so this is really good in my opinon.
this one is really tempting me, but I already own an OG Switch (not the 2019 version) and besides, its price here in my country is a bit too high
but maybe, next year...
I bought all 3 switch lite colors. Also having 3 is better because it’s 3 times the battery life than owning just 1.
Keeping my switch lite untill the day Nintendo allows me to move my Animal Crossing Island onto a new switch system
Animal crossing is over hyped trash
I dig these switch videos you guys have been making just ya know giving your honest overall opinion about the system and what people should maybe consider when buying the new one or the lite.
I'm getting the switch soon. Mom's gonna pay me for helping her with work around the house. Pray for me yall I can't be lazy rn 🙏😩😩
did u get it?
Awesome review, Kevin! I loved how you explained all the pros and cons. I will buy the regular NS though.
Well he answered my question about the switch lite having the drifting problem
Had my Lite for a week now, first Switch for me. I love it! True upgrade from my "New" 3DS. Didn't have the OG so I can't compare to see how I feel in terms of portability. One thing I will pick out is that it does get warm when playing, thus causing the clammy hand feeling. I do hope a nice Grip will alleviate this problem.
I just got my Switch Lite a few days ago, and I'm in the same boat having upgraded from the "NEW" 2DS XL, and the only way could play it for long periods without it digging into my palms was with a grip shell, and I just ordered a grip for my Switch Lite off eBay, as it's almost the same story for me with it playing for more than 1/2 an hour, plus my thumbs start to hurt a bit as well.
FIRST, today is the day i finally bought nintendo switch after watching ur video everyday dreamin
The real Switch, right? Not the frail Lite?
Congrats
yo dude congrats! hope u enjoy whatever game u play first! lol
My best friend surprised me with a Nintendo Switch V2 as a birthday gift on Friday. I think he got tired of hearing me saying that I wish I had a Nintendo Switch lol. I don't have games though
Congrats
I love the song in the background from the beginning
Does the ginki bluetooth adapter made for the Switch fit on the Switch lite
Maya Lesovsky yes
@@uxwillian kewl
Hey kevin love your vids keep doing what your doing.
Probably best to stick to the new Switch with the upgraded battery. The Switch Lite may have the drifting issue.
As that's been told when it came out
I didnt know that it doesnt have HD rumble. Might as well get the version 2 as 2nd switch
if you play portably, you'll realize quickly HD rumble is more annoying than enjoyable. HD rumble works better when joycons are separated from the switch
Yeah that is a big minus for me. I love the rumble. I even bought the rumble pak for the ds when it had it for the few games that supported it. I always wished the psp and vita had rumble and glad the OG switch does. This lite has way to many minuses. I traded my OG system in for the v2 better battery new large switch. 6-9 battery life with rumble, detachable joycons and TV hookup is worth it!
Thanks Kevin for the videos there awesome
Best comparative i seen of original switch vs Lite.Congrats.
Thanks for the video, it did not changed my choice in any ways on my future purchase, but now I know better about the two consoles. And I'm 100% sure now that for me, I'll buy a Switch Lite and not a regular Switch. It's kinda "sad" that it doesn't have the tremble on it, but I'll still buy it.
For those who have switch lite drifting, replace the sticks
X5J Gamer 😂
No honey, Nintendo will just switch it for you and you can redownload your save data. Problem solved. 🤦🏻♂️ don’t be stupid
@@aabelmendoza my way is easier...
Abe Lincoln it’s just a joke
Well not rly but he’s just trying to help
Theres an area in veridian forest in pokemon lets go where theres a noticable frame rate drop on the original switch. Once i bought the switch lite i played thay exact area again and i noticed that the frame drop is a little bit more noticable which is the only problem ive noticed when playing
Are they going to come out with a switch plus... with no portable option?
Tro Danko yea probably a switch pro or something like that
That sounds dumb. That would be a Switch Minus.
InnerRise It doesn’t fit your needs but not just your needs matter. People want a more powerful switch.
@@Sunsetiscool who said it cant be powerful and still maintain it's purpose of being a console that can switch since it's called a switch.
What yall are talking about Is a whole nother generation of console that nintendo hasn't made yet.
I like that you can't remove the "joycons" on the switch lite because I always click them on and off repeatedly on the OG switch. It's irresistible
I just got a Switch Lite last Thursday, and I think would be doing the same thing If I had an OG switch lol!
I got it first day and love it! I sold my old switch over a year ago. I wasn’t playing as much on TV as I thought.
I bought a regular old switch in July and I don't even have a TV🤣
@@dvornikovalexei you can hack that switch
Before watching the video: Should I change my original switch to a switch light?
After watching the video: What are those jeans at 13:38 that has so much space of pockets?
1:03 wow, thats huge
Owned both OG Switch and Lite and I gotta say the 2 biggest problems I have with it are 1. Obviously not being able to output video to a bigger display/TV
2. It’s as quiet as a mouse,it’s about as bad as one of those $29 androids actually even they are louder.There is a big noticeable difference in volume.
Why people not talking about this more, the volume on the Lite are way more quiet than the Normal Switch, even on the max volume it still hard to hear some games clearly.
as an only child I got the blue one and its so awesome since im always playing solo
I got it yesterday and its so much fun (I got smash and links awakening) I never had a DS of any sort or like the playstation minis from ages ago so this is my first handheld gaming device and recommend 100000%
Play with me then
Same !
I love this channel thanks for your amazing reviews👏
Switch Pro. 4K in Docked, 1080p in handheld. If I can move my data over to the Switch Pro...
Sign me up.
Will never happen, unless you want to hold a brick. Technology isn't there and even if it gets there it would be years before its low enough power to use smaller cooling required in a handheld.
midnightshade32 read oof oof comment
@@midnightshade32 It will happen faster than you think....Look at our new generation of phones..It already has 12 gb of ram in a tiniest metal storage...we basically holding a small gaming computer in our pockets....so what makes you doubt about a console that is dedicated to gaming cannot do better? Hm?
@@JPogi690 for one cost. These flagship phones are 1000+. Consoles need to be cheap. Also phone games are no where near the graphics of dedicated consoles. Ps3 had 1080p games too. You can do 1080p but your not going to get 60 fPS unless you have graphics a generation or two behind. I don't see it happening for at least two years, nintendo is going to milk this successful system as it keeps getting sales.
You are like the only RUclipsr that said the switch Lite is less comfortable in comparison with the og
Switch lite is absolutely not an issue if you grew up playing PSP... the PSP had way smaller screen..
The problem is that PSP games were developed taking the small screen size in consideration. That's not the case for the Switch Lite.
Great vid as always. I only play Nintendo handheld now so looking forward to getting one when a snes limited edition cones out. As the 3ds they woukd be fools not to. Great its bigger as cramp is a problem on my 2ds xl.
Will Smith will be proud cause oooh dats hot, thats hot!!!!
what game was that you were playing on the switch lite
I love both,💋❤ but I prefer the regular switch. 😊❤💙💚💛💜
I like lite
@@yukimack6283 I love both overall 😊💋❤👼but I prefer my original switch as my main one.😊❤💙💚💛💜
@@yukimack6283 I like original switch bc it's better I am keeping mine until Nintendo make pro
@@leeallenbeal I might do the same now you say that, wonder when it is coming out
