@@oneheckofabanana2016 the switch lite doesn't go from handheld to a home console and that is why the switch lite doesn't deserve the name switch on it
Just thought I'd mention it but the fact that they are releasing Link's Awakening on the same day is going to boost sales plus I bet they release a Link's Awakening version of the Switch Lite.
Problem is, this is Nintendo... As often as they do shocking things that end up being revolutionary, they DON'T do obvious no-brainers or do them way past the time a reasonable person would expect.
Its totally intentional, remember, the original Switch released with a Zelda game at launch too. In fact, its so perfect, the _small_ swich _remake_ comes with a _remake_ of a _smaller_ zelda game.
3DS: Let's have a gimmick that we have stereoscopic 3D graphics for further game immersion, and make it so players don't have to play with the 3D if they don't want to. 2DS: How about no *sells over 2 million units despite nearing the end of the 3DS life cycle*
or maybe just using the RUclips app. Nintendo uses LCD technology, so dark theme wont save battery life like it does for AMOLED screens. Brightness at 0 and airplane mode would though.
@@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat The tech specs for the Lite on their site says "the battery will last approximately 4 hours for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." You're definitely in the ballpark of the battery life they're estimating you should get in that game.
I'm super glad Nintendo is using adult actors in their switch ads. Because as a kid, I was more attracted to products that adults were using in ads, cos if a kid was using it my false sense of maturity would kick in and say "wow I don't wanna use a BABY (product)". And of course the new ads help combat the old "Nintendo is for kids" mindset that so many people still have. Overall it was a very good decision
Yeah, people shouldn’t be saying Nintendo was for kids. The only reason people say that is because it was a marketing decision during the fall of the video games, and Nintendo put their new console in the kids isle and not the electronics. That’s the main reason people think that. There’s also the cartoony thing, but you see adults playing fortnite. Nintendo for kids is mostly the reason we are playing video games today.
When the spokesman guy (I don't remember his name) went out the door and shielded his eyes from the sun I thought he was going to start talking about how the screen doesn't create glare. But alas.

"Nintendo wants everyone in the universe to have a Switch." Humanity: *Finally finds aliens.* Nintendo: *Releases a new Switch model for whatever their hands are like.*
I feel like we got so much Arlo lore in this video: - Is self conscious about his big hands - Doesn't like the color blue despite being blue - Might be a marsupial? This one was the most confusing for sure Can't wait to see how the plot develops.
I thought it kinda felt like he was just talking about himself not the arlo puppet. I don't know if he's ever been serious about him actually being a puppet but if he was he doesn't sound very serious about it anymore.
Tbh people complaining about “a switch that doesn’t switch” I just think of the “switch” as name of the system, not necessarily it’s function. Like if you play a 1 player game on the wii you could argue “oh this game is on a system meant for family play, it’s called wii! not me!” Switch is now franchised to the name of the console not it’s function. Plus what else would they call it? The games for the system are called Switch games, they can’t take the word “Switch” out of the Lite’s name or people will get confused and think switch games don’t work on the lite. TL;DR Switch is just a name
Chuk Uzosike Not mad, just continuing conversations. But it’s pretty lame on RUclips though. People like to drop mics and don’t respond to any response to their OT. Like their opinion is the only truth. So while we’re chatting back and forth, what’s your opinion on the topic at hand?
Would it be cool to have like a some sort of wii sports or nintendo land? I love those games and they have cool gimmicks or better minigames to play with people?
@JAMESON DUNCAN Well he has to buy a system and the games either way. Not sure why he needed another controller, as the regular Switch comes with Joycons. The only thing he'll be saving is the $100 on the system, but he could've found a used regular Switch for $200 or less.
@@reiverdaemon "Upscaler Chip" is bs. But yes, it probably wont be able to be overclocked. Also: The fans aint most deffinitly gonna be as strong as those from switch. So its gonna be quite difficulty to make a switch out of switch mini
A permanently docked version of the Switch would make sense for a family with a living room TV and a bunch of kids with Switch lites. Cloud sync would ensure everyone can still play their games both handheld and on the go. And it would make sure the “console” on the TV is always available.
Buy one for the kid? HELL NO I am getting one for myself. I don't have a TV, I don't need joycons, I have 0 interest in HD rumble. This thing is perfect for me
Honestly while having it on the big screen is great at times I play mine 80% handheld but I already have the og so I'll wait for the pro and see what that's brings
JoeBroShow to be honest this monstrosity that replaced d pad for joy cons is still better than the pro controller's d pad. And the one used for switch light looks very similar to pro controller's.
Despite the joke I made earlier, I think it will be a successful system. Primarily because families who want multiple Switches will be able to do that much cheaper.
Magikazam I guess it’s perspective. The lite version just seems like a newer psp, can’t play with others unless they have one sitting next to you, compared to the normal switch. I would price it at $125 or so, $200 is not really worth it when the normal switch is $300. You get a lot more for the value
We Are I can spend 100 in 5 min, it’s really not much of a diff at all. Unless you don’t work.... like the Full Switch is worth the extra 100, vs the Lite.
@@MikeSmith-zo6eu wow dude so coool you got cash the switch lite is obviously made for people who don't or can't buy the price of the normal switch And btw i have a switch so i'm not going to buy the lite version
What I don't get is, maybe you would know why? why don't Nintendo give you or sell separately a powerbank, that can attach in a nifty way to the handheld so when your battery is dead or dying you can attach it, leave it for an hour or whatever in your bag and it'll recharge it on the go, having a set up where you charge your for example Lite and the power bank at the same time, (while attached) would be a great selling point, also if you turned up somewhere, a friend's house or cafe whatever and you had already uset your power bank to recharge the device you could charge your powerbank back up while there, instead of having to plug in your actual device. Or something like phone's, a protective case that has a built-in power bank.
Saw that BeatEmUps uploaded a video about the new switch. Clicked so fas-saw that Arlo uploaded a video about the new switch. My boi Arlo comes first, of course.
Here's the thing, Nintendo realized that the main selling point of the "Switch" isnt the fact it can switch. It is the games. The games are why people buy the console.
@jesus barrera I dont play it on my regular Switch because I squeezed all the content out of that game in the first 3 days, so I'm not all that torn up about it. And buying the Lite, and then deciding you want to buy Joycons later doesnt sound all that bad. I have my Switch, I love it, but my Joycons rarely come off the system. I play smash with a Pro controller, but that's about it. And even that, I do in handheld mode most times. And when I dont feel like doing that, i play Smash with Joy cons attached.
I honestly disagree. If it was only about the games, the Wii U would have been a success. I think the marketing is more important for a console to be successful.
It’s Nintendo’s way of letting the 3DS die without angering 3DS consumers. I mean, think about how some people would react if Nintendo straight-up said, “Yeah, the 3DS is dead. We’re done with it. You should buy a Switch!” It’d be like when Sega said, “The Saturn is not our future.” Even though that was totally true, it was still a slap in the face for those who were invested in the Saturn. Nintendo did something similar with the GBA when the DS launched. Back then, they said that the DS wasn’t replacing the GBA. What they were doing was testing out the viability of the new DS while keeping their foot in the door with the already successful GBA. That way, if the DS flopped, they could have gone back to the GameBoy line without major problems.
@@r3gret2079 I understand. Gaming is a frustrating hobby like that; we spend all this time getting invested in one system, only to have to move on to another if you want to keep up with all the latest and greatest stuff.
Switch: I’m a home console and a portable Nintendo: Wait, say that again Switch: I’m a home console? Nintendo: No the other thing Switch: I’m a portable Nintendo: yeah that’s it! We’ll make a smaller version of you that’s only portable and more affordable Switch: 🙃
It's not that confusing. It's a great option, especially for households with multiple Switch players. I bought a full Switch for each of my uncle's three kids - a Switch Lite would have been perfect for some of them instead.
Considering that they stopped making 3DS games having a new, less expensive handheld makes a lot of sense. If you are questioning why it exists then you are not the target. I miss my 3ds, it was so convenient and had a great battery life. I can see this as something for homes with two kids into games.
The best way to sell something too kids is to have teens and adults playing with it. They lookup to use and playing something there cool older brother love makes them feel matter. (like a grown-up)
The switch marketing is the best I've seen for a console since the 90s, kids never think something is cool if it's advertised as "kiddy" and they want what the older kids have, and older audiences are alienated by advertisements showing mostly kids, so using young adults basically allows them to say it's for everyone
I think most people are more bummed that a pro wasn’t revealed alongside the lite. The two cater to two completely different demographics. I’m thrilled that I can now feel comfortable buying one for my nieces and nephews, but it’s not for me. I’d prefer a Switch “Pro.”
@@lrc4263 there will be no "pro" version, Nintendo are not like xbox or PlayStation, unless they would make a "new" Nintendo switch with just extra added features lol
The way they work the HD rumble into all their games is actually amazing. Like, Mario Odyssey useit constantly, adding this great tactile feedback, like when you collect coins or use the moped. Removing that's going to feel weird.
As someone who doesn't own a TV I'll be saving myself $100 on this! :D Also, by your description of the size of the switch, it sounds like you can fit both of my hands inside one of your hands.
Halosuperboy Did... did you even watch the video? Did you completely forget all context before you replied? What in the hell would possible lead to that reply?
Eh. He still did the "I was 100% wrong.... EXCEPT I totally called it later and so I kind of wasn't wrong and even then I only guessed it wasn't true because everyone else thought it so I probably would have thought it too if everyone hadn't thought it, so I wasn't really wrong at all". Paraphrase, of course.
"Switch Lite not a replacement for 3DS" Come on, you even stopped producing games for the 3DS If it's not a replacement for the 3DS Then make some more 3DS games!
Yeah. I love the 3DS. I've bought several games for it released in 2018 and 2019. I wish it would get more in the future. But I'm not dillusional. It's clearly dead. I can't find any evidence of any new games still in the pipeline; Nintendo or third party.
I really want the switches to play 3ds games, I think if they made the switch lite compatible with the 3ds games, or a virtual console many people will think of upgrading.
You’re very right about the price drop getting people to finally buy a Switch. My coworker has been going on about how bad she wants a Switch but doesn’t want to drop $300, and when I told her about the Lite she freaked, she’s gonna get one as soon as she can.
The light has longer battery life because it doesn't have joycons to drain the battery. So they basically both have the same battery...the switch just drains more battery life then the light
I was planning on getting a switch and I gotta say, I'm kinda tempted by the switch lite Edit: Now I'm worried that a Switch Pro would be a TV only console that cannot switch, leaving the original as the middle ground between fully docked and fully handheld.
@@Mike-jf5ip i have one and it's perfectly fine. as long as you're not too rough with it as, in people who play it till max capacity, you should be okay
@@dreamclub9830 regular joy cond drift gently or not. Its hardware not your too rough kinda issue. Its a matter if being lucky or not if the sensor gets scratched. My 3rd pair is drifting a few months after warranty wore out. I dont get expensive things often I take very good care of such products
Nintendo doesnt have an official company representing them on Brazil anymore (since 2015 I think?), so any store who sells Nintendo producs (and a lot dont do it anymore, at all) has to import themselves the products and pay the exorbitant taxes our governament has. No jokes, its 100% for companies and 60% for people. So a Switch on a store here sells for USD 600~ish. Again, no joke. You can find shady stores who 'import' through Paraguay and skip the taxes selling it for less (abour 400ish USD), but thats beyond the point here. The point I want to make is that this one will be a 400 USD Switch on Brazil, which is just great. I will finally be able to afford a Switch. And just so you know, minimum wage (which most of the population lives by) is about 260 USD/month.
@@blue_thingys8813 yup, Brazil's taxes are the reason pretty much anything imported is so damn expensive. Even when its made here by an international company its pricing goes through the roof. As an example, there was a Chinese company here, Foxconn, producing the iPhone in national soil, so no importantion taxes would hit it. But then again, producing an iPhone in China has a 25%~ lower cost, so why would they make it here right? They started it on 2015 and stopped doing so on 2017. No wonder the Brazilian iPhone is the most expensive in the world. I dont even like Apple to begin with, but thats only to show how business is made.
é eu mesma estou desistindo de tentar comprar um Switch pra mim, eu pensei em pegar o Lite mas sla dps de me aprofundar numa pesquisa, é mais fácil eu esperar mais um tempo até q o Switch abaixe o preço um pouco doq comprar o Lite, mas eu provavelmente nunca vou conseguir comprar, é um gasto mt grande
6:54 - Arlo, there are things we call 'screen brightness & 'wifi' that you may find useful. Typically lowering the brightness & turning off the wifi will give you more battery time. (Not having the sound at max volume/using headphones could help too.)
This appeals to people like me who play the Switch in handheld almost exclusively because I am always on the go. (although I already have a Switch and I don't need another one.) I also have small hands, so size doesn't matter.
I got a switch lite because I simply don't need it to dock to a tv. If I want to play a game on my tv, I'll just play on my Xbox because of the better graphics, higher frame rate, and greater processing power.
@@really.rhino12 I have a regular switch and I've only played in docked mode like 3 times, to play smash with some friends for like 30 minutes. Honestly, I should have gone for the lite
just turn the screen sideways and mount the joycons near one end. both have an arm processor after all and I'm sure the rest of it is powerful enough to emulate the graphics
I actually thought there was a chance they might include a 3ds slot on the lite. It makes sense when you remember that every other Nintendo handheld since... forever, has been compatible with the previous generation. Every one of their handhelds has at least worked with one generation past. This is the one that breaks that tradition. Well, it is what it is. What will make or break it I think is how rugged it is. The original Switch is pretty fragile, especially for kids. The lite will have to be able to take a little more abuse if it's gonna take it's place the the Game Boy/DS/3ds family tree. Without the joycons as a fail point that should help a lot, but we'll see.I hope they're using better sticks too, cause if they're similar to the ones in joycons there will be some pissed off lite owners when they get drift and have to replace or open up a whole console to fix it instead of a controller. Either way it's going to sell like fucking crazy at Xmas this year. Especially if they do a Pokémon bundle. Probably be this year's "hot item", and I'm sure there will be "shortages" as these things usually go.
I really only play my Switch in handheld mode so I'm getting one of these. I think I've only used it docked like 3 times since I got it last Christmas.
Yeah, i get 3 hours on almost all AAA titles just by reducing brightness by 10%. Indie games usually 4-5 depending. I have never had a game drain my battery that quickly.
@Vagabond-Savant The Autodidact-Serviette seriouslllyy they have to fix that. I need a new pair and this will be my 4th pair just because of the left one! They are so expensive I have to choose working controllers over a game and this choice is only a few times a year if even
I guess I've never sat and counted how long my battery lasts considering I'm always on my couch with the charger close by. But I play mine on adaptive brightness so it's never to dark or to bright.
@@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx Don't think a single person would complain if Nintendo did a run of Switch Lites/JoyCons/Pro Controller in the old GBC/N64 Atomic colours. Even more so considering how popular the third party shells that mimic those colours are
to be honest i think it's because that's what looks the best. even though it would be nice to have it somewhere else so it's easier to play while charging. like you could do with the new 3ds
The Koopster that would be ridiculous if you got it to use just as a controller but let's say you have a switch and your sibling or friend or whatever has a switch lite and then you could dock your switch and they can use the lite as a controller so you can play together. If you could do this it would be really nice.
Switch: I will last you maybe........2-3 hours Me: -_- 3DS/My Older Systems: Hey, remember us, yeah you haven't played us in years.....we still have like 50% left if you ever feel like picking us up at some point, dude. Me: How the fu-
@@pedrofreitas4662 Maybe if you were only playing 2D games. No way it lasts that long on actual demanding games like OoT3D, or you're fibbing. I've used many of the original 3DSes over the years and they definitely lack battery life.
Once Arlo mentioned his marsupial pouch, I realized that I really want a 30 minute video of the logistics of Arlo’s species. (That’s a joke, Arlo is a totally normal person.)
It looks like there’s better protection for the memory card slot. Still holding out for a more powerful Switch, though I’d settle for a port of Bloodstained that was optimized for the Switch. That control lag is really noticeable.
At my Best Buy I was looking at the Switch Lite’s they had on display (I already own a Switch) and one of the employees came up to me. She told me how certain games ARE compatible and how others aren’t. So I think certain Best Buy’s (or at least the ones near me) are aware.
@cloud’ actually you can add joy cons to the switch like the regular one with multiplyer it would just be really hard on that tiny screen to see just dance loll
Me: "What's this Nintendo Switch Lite thingy?" Nintendo: "Well, it's like the Nintendo Switch, except you can't connect it to the tv, you can't detach the joycons, there's no IR camera, there's no HD rumble, there is no kick stand and it's smaller." Me "..." Nintendo: "But it also has a D-pad" Me: "TAKE MY MONEY!!!"
ii Just ii I fixed my joy-con myself. Just bought replacement joysticks, took the controllers apart and installed it. Might be a bit harder to fix for Lite :P
Wait... If the joy cons don't come off... Does this mean that when the joy cons start to drift... You'll have to buy the system again to make it so you can actually play switch games? Nintendo... Why?! Edit: So instead of trying to fix the joy con drifting problem they were like " Meh there still going to buy it anyways let's not change the joy cons at all"
with the amount of shit they've been getting, i,m pretty sure they got things all planed out...also i think i remember them saying you can mail your system to their team and they fix the problem free of charge...worst case scenario you pay a shipping fee..not too sure though..
@@mr.OldNews But what if something goes wrong when their team is fixing it and it's permanently damaged or you lose most, if not all, your data? That's a concern that I have, regardless of how realistic it is. That would definitely be worst case scenario. Until they find a permanent fix or design the joycons significantly better, I'm not getting a Switch Lite. I'm happy with my Switch (the newer one with better battery, etc) as it is.
@@leeannpelletier4117 We shouldn't have to resort to fixing the drift ourselves. Nintendo should have originally chosen a better design for the joycons, rather than choosing a faulty one. This whole situation could've been prevented. Even after admitting it was faulty and not designed well, they continue to release new products and joycons with the same or similar design. Definitely not an example of "Nintendo Quality" that we are so used to. Greed seems to have plagued Nintendo for the time being, especially when it comes to the Switch and joycons.

Removing the rumble is also a big move to save batter life. Nothing sucks your power faster than moving parts.

“ 6.5 hours just sitting on the home menu” airplane mode, dark theme, brightness on 0

Nintendo uses LCD technology, so dark theme wont save battery life like it does for AMOLED screens. Brightness at 0 and airplane mode would though.

@@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat The tech specs for the Lite on their site says "the battery will last approximately 4 hours for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." You're definitely in the ballpark of the battery life they're estimating you should get in that game.
I'm super glad Nintendo is using adult actors in their switch ads. Because as a kid, I was more attracted to products that adults were using in ads, cos if a kid was using it my false sense of maturity would kick in and say "wow I don't wanna use a BABY (product)". And of course the new ads help combat the old "Nintendo is for kids" mindset that so many people still have. Overall it was a very good decision
Yeah, people shouldn’t be saying Nintendo was for kids. The only reason people say that is because it was a marketing decision during the fall of the video games, and Nintendo put their new console in the kids isle and not the electronics. That’s the main reason people think that. There’s also the cartoony thing, but you see adults playing fortnite. Nintendo for kids is mostly the reason we are playing video games today.
They still talk like we were 5 in the Nintendo Directs.
They're appealing to broke ass adults like me who want a dang switch but that $199 tag is looking a bit more doable.

@@tangerinetech5300 you gotta wonder why he would have a blue puppet if he doesn't like blue though so the question remains
Tbh people complaining about “a switch that doesn’t switch” I just think of the “switch” as name of the system, not necessarily it’s function. Like if you play a 1 player game on the wii you could argue “oh this game is on a system meant for family play, it’s called wii! not me!” Switch is now franchised to the name of the console not it’s function. Plus what else would they call it? The games for the system are called Switch games, they can’t take the word “Switch” out of the Lite’s name or people will get confused and think switch games don’t work on the lite.
TL;DR Switch is just a name

@@reiverdaemon "Upscaler Chip" is bs. But yes, it probably wont be able to be overclocked. Also: The fans aint most deffinitly gonna be as strong as those from switch. So its gonna be quite difficulty to make a switch out of switch mini
They cant add docking capabilities with homebrew. There will be no Video output on a hardware level. You cant solve that with software.
Now we need a Switch XL, that's permanently docked, and has 4 joy cons.
Permanately docked is most dumbest shit I have heard for the Switch. I'm sorry to say.
No joke, I would like that. My Switch is already always docked, so more controllers (and hopefully more processing power) sounds like a good deal.
basically the PS4 version of the switch
A permanently docked version of the Switch would make sense for a family with a living room TV and a bunch of kids with Switch lites. Cloud sync would ensure everyone can still play their games both handheld and on the go. And it would make sure the “console” on the TV is always available.

Magikazam I guess it’s perspective. The lite version just seems like a newer psp, can’t play with others unless they have one sitting next to you, compared to the normal switch.

@@MikeSmith-zo6eu 100 dollars is a big difference

I can make my Switch battery last around 4 hours usually, even in games like Zelda, since I always turn on airplane mode and adjust the brightness.
What I don't get is, maybe you would know why? why don't Nintendo give you or sell separately a powerbank, that can attach in a nifty way to the handheld so when your battery is dead or dying you can attach it, leave it for an hour or whatever in your bag and it'll recharge it on the go, having a set up where you charge your for example Lite and the power bank at the same time, (while attached) would be a great selling point, also if you turned up somewhere, a friend's house or cafe whatever and you had already uset your power bank to recharge the device you could charge your powerbank back up while there, instead of having to plug in your actual device. Or something like phone's, a protective case that has a built-in power bank.

@jesus barrera I dont play it on my regular Switch because I squeezed all the content out of that game in the first 3 days, so I'm not all that torn up about it. And buying the Lite, and then deciding you want to buy Joycons later doesnt sound all that bad. I have my Switch, I love it, but my Joycons rarely come off the system. I play smash with a Pro controller, but that's about it. And even that, I do in handheld mode most times. And when I dont feel like doing that, i play Smash with Joy cons attached.
I honestly disagree. If it was only about the games, the Wii U would have been a success. I think the marketing is more important for a console to be successful.
Nintendo:"Not replacing 3DS"
Also Nintendo:"No more 1st party titles coming to 3DS"
Im gettin mixed messages Nintendudes
It’s Nintendo’s way of letting the 3DS die without angering 3DS consumers. I mean, think about how some people would react if Nintendo straight-up said, “Yeah, the 3DS is dead. We’re done with it. You should buy a Switch!” It’d be like when Sega said, “The Saturn is not our future.” Even though that was totally true, it was still a slap in the face for those who were invested in the Saturn.
Nintendo did something similar with the GBA when the DS launched. Back then, they said that the DS wasn’t replacing the GBA. What they were doing was testing out the viability of the new DS while keeping their foot in the door with the already successful GBA. That way, if the DS flopped, they could have gone back to the GameBoy line without major problems.
@@oldschoolsolarpower8077 well thats all very true, n actually makes a good amount of sense. Aw my poor 3ds...

@Ash you could probably get the switch lite for cheaper on sale as well
@Ash That's really not that hard to do these days..
It's not that confusing. It's a great option, especially for households with multiple Switch players. I bought a full Switch for each of my uncle's three kids - a Switch Lite would have been perfect for some of them instead.
Considering that they stopped making 3DS games having a new, less expensive handheld makes a lot of sense. If you are questioning why it exists then you are not the target. I miss my 3ds, it was so convenient and had a great battery life. I can see this as something for homes with two kids into games.
The best way to sell something too kids is to have teens and adults playing with it.
They lookup to use and playing something there cool older brother love makes them feel matter. (like a grown-up)
I feel like they're hesitant about advertising specifically to kids because of the Wii U, and the marketing flop that was.
The switch marketing is the best I've seen for a console since the 90s, kids never think something is cool if it's advertised as "kiddy" and they want what the older kids have, and older audiences are alienated by advertisements showing mostly kids, so using young adults basically allows them to say it's for everyone
wii u marketing was bad because of the name and people not even knowing it was a new console, not "kiddy" advertising, you stupid fuck

I really want the switches to play 3ds games, I think if they made the switch lite compatible with the 3ds games, or a virtual console many people will think of upgrading.

Arlo, how high is your switch brightness? That could be effecting battery life.
I consistently got around 5-6 hours when I played sonic mania with medium brightness
I've never thought about. I keep mine at the highest setting for everything.
The light has longer battery life because it doesn't have joycons to drain the battery. So they basically both have the same battery...the switch just drains more battery life then the light
It also counts on what games you play...when i play diablo 3 ..i only get like 2 hours or 2 and a half. With zelda you could get like 3 to 4 hours

Nintendo doesnt have an official company representing them on Brazil anymore (since 2015 I think?), so any store who sells Nintendo producs (and a lot dont do it anymore, at all) has to import themselves the products and pay the exorbitant taxes our governament has. No jokes, its 100% for companies and 60% for people. So a Switch on a store here sells for USD 600~ish. Again, no joke.
You can find shady stores who 'import' through Paraguay and skip the taxes selling it for less (abour 400ish USD), but thats beyond the point here.
The point I want to make is that this one will be a 400 USD Switch on Brazil, which is just great. I will finally be able to afford a Switch.
And just so you know, minimum wage (which most of the population lives by) is about 260 USD/month.
That's a steal
@@blue_thingys8813 yup, Brazil's taxes are the reason pretty much anything imported is so damn expensive. Even when its made here by an international company its pricing goes through the roof.
As an example, there was a Chinese company here, Foxconn, producing the iPhone in national soil, so no importantion taxes would hit it. But then again, producing an iPhone in China has a 25%~ lower cost, so why would they make it here right? They started it on 2015 and stopped doing so on 2017. No wonder the Brazilian iPhone is the most expensive in the world. I dont even like Apple to begin with, but thats only to show how business is made.
é eu mesma estou desistindo de tentar comprar um Switch pra mim, eu pensei em pegar o Lite mas sla dps de me aprofundar numa pesquisa, é mais fácil eu esperar mais um tempo até q o Switch abaixe o preço um pouco doq comprar o Lite, mas eu provavelmente nunca vou conseguir comprar, é um gasto mt grande

I got a switch lite because I simply don't need it to dock to a tv. If I want to play a game on my tv, I'll just play on my Xbox because of the better graphics, higher frame rate, and greater processing power.
@@really.rhino12 I have a regular switch and I've only played in docked mode like 3 times, to play smash with some friends for like 30 minutes. Honestly, I should have gone for the lite
also, now all we need is a 3DS game cart adapter for the switch to put that final nail in the coffin
I might actually get a switch if that happens
just turn the screen sideways and mount the joycons near one end. both have an arm processor after all and I'm sure the rest of it is powerful enough to emulate the graphics
I actually thought there was a chance they might include a 3ds slot on the lite. It makes sense when you remember that every other Nintendo handheld since... forever, has been compatible with the previous generation. Every one of their handhelds has at least worked with one generation past. This is the one that breaks that tradition. Well, it is what it is.
What will make or break it I think is how rugged it is. The original Switch is pretty fragile, especially for kids. The lite will have to be able to take a little more abuse if it's gonna take it's place the the Game Boy/DS/3ds family tree. Without the joycons as a fail point that should help a lot, but we'll see.I hope they're using better sticks too, cause if they're similar to the ones in joycons there will be some pissed off lite owners when they get drift and have to replace or open up a whole console to fix it instead of a controller.
Either way it's going to sell like fucking crazy at Xmas this year. Especially if they do a Pokémon bundle. Probably be this year's "hot item", and I'm sure there will be "shortages" as these things usually go.

Arlo 2019,
Balls deep...? o.o
Shh, he’s family-friendly!
Only 2 hours?? Do you have the brightness on full blast? I usually can get at least 4 hours out of one charge.
I know right?, I managed to squeeze 4 hours too, while playing BOTW on my year and a half old switch, perhaps he got a defective one.
4 hours is my usual battery life as well.
I have usually around 3 hours
Mine is around 3 hours with medium brightness
I play with max brightness and still usually get at least 3 hours
Nintendo: Looks like a switch, feels like a switch, it’s a switch.
Everyone else: But it doesn’t switch...
And to them I say, Shut yer Yaps!
I hope Nintendo makes a translucent variant like Funtastic N64 or Atomic Purple GBC.
Oooo, yes!
Sweet mercy, yes please!
Pass
I’m sticking to my REGULAR switch :)
Same here
Same
Same. Literally zero reason to get this thing unless it’s for a young kid or someone who only wants handheld and doesn’t have a Switch.
I really only play my Switch in handheld mode so I'm getting one of these. I think I've only used it docked like 3 times since I got it last Christmas.
By the way I just got mine last month.
Arlo is a kangaroo confirmed:
-Big awkward hands
-Pockets (sometimes)
Arlo you should get the battery checked out, mine’s a fair bit longer
I get like 4 hours out of Smash Bros
Yeah, i get 3 hours on almost all AAA titles just by reducing brightness by 10%. Indie games usually 4-5 depending. I have never had a game drain my battery that quickly.
I played 5 hours of Skyrim before charging this weekend on mine
@Vagabond-Savant The Autodidact-Serviette seriouslllyy they have to fix that. I need a new pair and this will be my 4th pair just because of the left one! They are so expensive I have to choose working controllers over a game and this choice is only a few times a year if even
2 hours? Yeah, I'd say something is messed up with your Switch's battery.
Or he leaves the screen at Max bright at all times. on any device leaving your screen at maximum brightness kills the battery fast
I always turn the brightness down and don’t even get 2 hours while playing botw for example
@@JackTheGamingGuy4REALZ I always have my brightness at 100% because it looks so nice, and I still get a good 3 or so hours of battery life.
I guess I've never sat and counted how long my battery lasts considering I'm always on my couch with the charger close by. But I play mine on adaptive brightness so it's never to dark or to bright.
I get at least 3 hours on any game
I feel like they should pull a 3ds and drop the price at least by $50. The Switch lite is like the 2ds was to the 3ds.
I would love that. Switch Lite would be a no-brainer for $150.
They don't need to
I'm feeling that $150 price point
I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually drop the regular & Lite, probably soon before making a New/Pro/XL/whatever
@@matheusbernmias6680 $250 Launch price.
Why not release them inthe same colours as the gameboy color for a little nod?
Then later release the transparent version colours! Easy money!
Well doing different colors is also good. Nintendo gets a lot of flack of always playing the nostalgia card
@@EdgarHernandez-xj5mx Don't think a single person would complain if Nintendo did a run of Switch Lites/JoyCons/Pro Controller in the old GBC/N64 Atomic colours. Even more so considering how popular the third party shells that mimic those colours are
At the very least, it should be all the joycon colors lol.
Bun I’m not saying people would complain but I’m also saying that new colors would also be good
The dock itself is 80$....
Drop the price to 150$ imo
Hey, at least it's not 300! Ya know...
They are a company dude it’s their job
The dock is just a cheap plastic mold LOL. Worth mybe $1
Sokol Shala no actually u are just a moron
Sokol Shala yeah but nintendo sells them for 80$
I've played BOTW for more than 3 hours in handheld without charging. Your battery most have a problem.
I get three hours about
They say it's up to about 4 hours. I'm sure it depends on the game and brightness etr.
@@regalia2468 Arlo needs to play with some blanket to keep the lights off of the screen then.
Why is the charging port still on the bottom. Why. Is. The. Charging. Port. Still. On. The. Bottom.
why does it matter considering there's no kickstand on the lite?
Jude Desaubin good point, but it’s just inconvenient and it could’ve easily been fixed
to be honest i think it's because that's what looks the best. even though it would be nice to have it somewhere else so it's easier to play while charging. like you could do with the new 3ds
@@self-consciousmess Because how could the charging dock work if the charging port was on the top?
Cyber Wasp there *isn’t* a charging dock
if you could use this as a controller on a regular switch (kinda like how smash 3ds functioned with the wii u version) i might go for it
I was wondering the same
Huh. I think there's a good chance. Not sure what would be displayed on the Switch Lite while you're playing this way, but it could happen.
You’re gonna spend 200 on a controller?
The Koopster that would be ridiculous if you got it to use just as a controller but let's say you have a switch and your sibling or friend or whatever has a switch lite and then you could dock your switch and they can use the lite as a controller so you can play together. If you could do this it would be really nice.
I imagine worst case you can do local wireless and still play with everyone, albeit on the lite's screen
Switch: I will last you maybe........2-3 hours
Me: -_-
3DS/My Older Systems: Hey, remember us, yeah you haven't played us in years.....we still have like 50% left if you ever feel like picking us up at some point, dude.
Me: How the fu-
Base 3DS died/dies really fast
@@GrammerPancreas I have a base 3ds and I couldn't disagree more, it can easily last 8 hours
@@pedrofreitas4662 Maybe if you were only playing 2D games. No way it lasts that long on actual demanding games like OoT3D, or you're fibbing. I've used many of the original 3DSes over the years and they definitely lack battery life.
Once Arlo mentioned his marsupial pouch, I realized that I really want a 30 minute video of the logistics of Arlo’s species.
(That’s a joke, Arlo is a totally normal person.)
What do you mean he is a totally normal person ? I mean... he is blue ... and furry
OrangeClosetLight He’s a puppet.
@@DryPaperHammerBro what are puppets?
Carl Williams that’s like saying Kermit the Frog is a puppet. Arlo, a puppet... that’s so silly
Little does people know, he is a Sawk that failed his training and threw off his uniform and went to be a Nintendo youtuber.
It looks like there’s better protection for the memory card slot. Still holding out for a more powerful Switch, though I’d settle for a port of Bloodstained that was optimized for the Switch. That control lag is really noticeable.
Some of the bosses seem slower and easier on the Switch as well.
I think the most important thing we learned in this video is
Arlo is a marsupial
And dislikes his own color lol
Big Daddy I’m guessing???? It’s a delicate topic 😂
At my Best Buy I was looking at the Switch Lite’s they had on display (I already own a Switch) and one of the employees came up to me. She told me how certain games ARE compatible and how others aren’t. So I think certain Best Buy’s (or at least the ones near me) are aware.
@cloud’ actually you can add joy cons to the switch like the regular one with multiplyer it would just be really hard on that tiny screen to see just dance loll
The games that aren't compatible are very very few. 99% of its game work on lite.
BUT it can SWITCH ON and OFF!
Damn
You’re not wrong
It’s a button
AceThePro and when you press it, it does something.
This reply is totally not condescending at all.

Nintendo: "Well, it's like the Nintendo Switch, except you can't connect it to the tv, you can't detach the joycons, there's no IR camera, there's no HD rumble, there is no kick stand and it's smaller."
Me "..."
Nintendo: "But it also has a D-pad"
Me: "TAKE MY MONEY!!!"
If only that D-pad was on top... Still, better than not having it at least.
To me, it camera and kick stand are that big of a deal as I don’t usually play with whatever it camera is used for

@@AllenMBanks there'd an ir sensor on the bottom of the right joycon
And now if your joy-con drifts, you can’t replace ‘em!
*Nintendo*
ii Just ii I fixed my joy-con myself. Just bought replacement joysticks, took the controllers apart and installed it. Might be a bit harder to fix for Lite :P
mega sean yeah, because the screwdriver things were on the side, which you can’t reach now.
@@JR00D bruh
But they aren’t joycons it’s not separate the whole thing is the console.

Got a point.

You never needed to do this. You could have spared us, but you didn't.
thank you.
Wait... If the joy cons don't come off... Does this mean that when the joy cons start to drift... You'll have to buy the system again to make it so you can actually play switch games? Nintendo... Why?!
Edit: So instead of trying to fix the joy con drifting problem they were like " Meh there still going to buy it anyways let's not change the joy cons at all"
with the amount of shit they've been getting, i,m pretty sure they got things all planed out...also i think i remember them saying you can mail your system to their team and they fix the problem free of charge...worst case scenario you pay a shipping fee..not too sure though..
@@mr.OldNews But what if something goes wrong when their team is fixing it and it's permanently damaged or you lose most, if not all, your data? That's a concern that I have, regardless of how realistic it is. That would definitely be worst case scenario.
Until they find a permanent fix or design the joycons significantly better, I'm not getting a Switch Lite. I'm happy with my Switch (the newer one with better battery, etc) as it is.
You can fix drift using rubbing alcohol and q tips lol
@@leeannpelletier4117 We shouldn't have to resort to fixing the drift ourselves. Nintendo should have originally chosen a better design for the joycons, rather than choosing a faulty one. This whole situation could've been prevented.
Even after admitting it was faulty and not designed well, they continue to release new products and joycons with the same or similar design. Definitely not an example of "Nintendo Quality" that we are so used to. Greed seems to have plagued Nintendo for the time being, especially when it comes to the Switch and joycons.
@@audrey.s. yeah... I'm luck my 3rd or 4th pair hasn't drifted yet... MY 3RD OR 4TH PAIR!
