Switch Lite

Cool but I already have a normal one. The d-pad looks nice, the whole console looks very nice actually.

Unironically based. The switch should've been this from the beggining.

wait

so it's even weaker than the original switch?

IT'S -NOT- an upgrade in hardware? It's a fucking downgrade?

Thoughts: Size is just slightly bigger than expected and the fact that it can't connect to a TV is a bit worrisome (how will it charge then?). I hope they add some USB charging device to these, considering to many this will be the first and only Switch in a household. Losing HD Rumble and Joy Cons (as well as games that require those) on handheld was expected

No longer a switch, it can't be docked. Not interested

>The Lite isn't a sequel to the Switch. It's more of a lower-cost spin-off. It'll also be the only new Nintendo Switch hardware this holiday, as Nintendo's Bowser says the larger Switch won't get an upgrade right now. But maybe that's exactly what's needed. At the least, it's finally a lower-priced Switch
RIP to any anons who were waiting for the upgraded version to be announced.

It's like the 2DS. Downgraded hardware for a cheaper price. There's still a market for that sort of thing

I haven't plugged my switch into the dock since I bought it.Just plug it in, any roundboi USB will do the trick.

so basically, you don't have access to every single title, and ones that require an IR motion will require you purchase joycons

Capcom is probably hitting themselves repeatedly for pissing off the Switch fanbase after all the numerous shit they did with their recent releases because the Lite is exactly the type of handheld they wanted for their handheld games like MH: GU.

they finally made a version for people with no friends

How Nintendo can fall at this mess again after WiiU and all the 3DS name problems

>ones that require an IR motion
Such as?
I can't think of any other than 1 2 Switch and Labo.

But why can't it be docked? The dock is literally just a usb-c to hdmi

>IR motion
Literally the only thing that uses the infrared sensor is a toy-con in the Labo Variety kit. The gyro is probably what you're thinking of and it's still in.

Fail?
M8 this thing is going to sell even faster than the normal switch in Japan. Not sure how it'll perform in the west but Japan is most definitely the primary audience for this, while the inevitable pro version next year will be aimed at the west

So what's stopping it from being docked?
Hardware seems to still be there, could the software likely be hacked into tricking it?

Yes cause people enjoy & use those products

This is not based

>Switch
>can't switch

a handeld regular switch is underclocked and only uses more power in docked mode, switch lite will be too weak for docked mode

It's kind of disappointing but kids with no money will eat it up. Also the simplistic design and *D-PAD* look pretty nice. I'll probably buy it eventually as a collectible but I'm going to buy the Pro version first.(whenever that gets announced)

Why are so many people lying about playing in docked mode? Literally everyone uses portable mode unless you happen to be a streamer who uses docked for capturing video or are just a NEET who enjoys playing 1080p titles on a 4k flatscreen. Why would people even bother pretending docked was useful in the first place?

That's even sadder, grandpa.

Wait a minute...

You seriously can't dock it? What the fuck where they thinking?

Likely heating problems. Normal switch can run pretty hot docked sometimes, this would probably melt

It explodes if docked

the performance will be a mess

It's aimed at Japan, kids, and people that don't care for a docked experience. The $200 price point is probably the biggest factor

>Why are so many people lying about playing in docked mode?
I play mine docked because my 55" tv is right across from my bed, which lets me comfortably relax and play with wireless pad.

199€/$

they doubled down on the wii u and they decided to step down on the console wars and prioritize what they were good at which is handheld

Why?
You think they're just gonna gimp it from the normal Switch handheld performance?

I would kind of be mad if they made a stronger version, making the one I bought obsolete

That's cool, I hope people who are only interested in the handheld aspect or want to get a Switch at a cheaper price than 3 big ones enjoy their games.

Nintendo never ceases to surprise. Why even announce this in buttfuck july instead of E3? Surely they could have scraped together some proof of concept in time.

I'm not angry, but they might as well rename it to Switch:tm: Poorfag with no friends edition

>2x the original amount
dude it's only half an hour more than the original switch, which ranges from 2.5-6.5 hours

there's no usbc or hdmi port so the hardware just doesn't support it.

>2x original

It's 30 fucking minutes more dude. It's nothing. And besides you could even underclock games on your hacked OG switch to get more battery too so this is obsolete in every way

What's that? They finally pushed too hard with the Pokemon laziness and fans are tired of their shit? Release the Switch Lite so we ensure SwSh sell even better.

Gotta remove any key features that would let the Lite be a replacement to the Switch. This is a true handheld and only meant to be used as such. Also, have to cut out everything to ensure the $200 price point, which is a huge dealbreaker.

>so basically, you don't have access to every single title
There are games that don't work in portable mode?
Which ones?

I want this to happen eventually, but just not yet. The Pro should come out late next year at absolute earliest, and just be $300 again.

>Yo dawg, you ever wanted to expressly not buy a Switch?
Yes?
>I've got you
Nah I'm good

Oh boy now it truly is portable and with only a """"""minor"""""" downgrade to performance! I'm sure it'll improve such already amazing looking games as Pokemon Sword and Shield.

It's important for consumers to know that this is STILL a Nintendo Switch, but one that has been stripped of irrelevant features and reduced in sie to reach a lower price point.

Wii U fucked up because many consumers thought it was just an add-on to a Wii (or an upgrade to the Wii) instead of an actual new console.

3DS names were fine. You had original 3DS, the 2DS ("DS" was already a recognizable handheld platform, the number lets people know it's an upgrade to the original DS, and 2D makes sense as it doesn't play in 3D), 3DS/2DS XL (same system but slightly larger), New 3DS/2DS (same system but slightly upgraded processing power), New 3DS/2DS XL (slightly larger New 3DS/2DS).

So wait, they didn't do a size comparison?

>Already Sword and Shield Edition Lite's available for purchase.
So that's what this is all about.

>No HD rumble
How will getting the moons that involve ground pounding in the right spot in Mario Odyssey work without being awkward/needing to buy another set of joy cons?

The triggers still stick out really far on the back of the system. It will still need a bulky case.

After E3 probably had a rush of people buying it. No reason to slow down sales then.

>Despite the change in size, the resolution for the Switch Lite’s display remains the same 720p as the original Switch, though curiously you can no longer adjust the brightness.

Honestly the new gens dont have something new than a graphic update.
Better graphics doesnt mean a better game and a gimmick doesnt mean good games either.
But a good gimmick makes an unique selling point.

Wait for the more powerful pro model that will release next year.

The Switch Lite still has a USB-C plug for charging and comes with the same charger that a regular Switch does.

Meh, too much has been taken away. They could have at least had a port to connect it to a TV with some optional accessory at least.

But is that really how you spend the majority of the time you play your switch? Docked mode is pretty neat as a gimmick but it's not much more than a neat gimmick in reality. IMHO the switch still could work well as a handheld only successor to the 3DS (like it basically already has been doing)

>you can no longer adjust the brightness

that makes no fucking sense

Holy based

You don’t need a dock to charge the Switch. In fact, the Switch is the first portable Nintendo console to have a non-proprietary charger.

Nintendo has realized a long time ago that competing on power isn't going to make them stand out. Nintendo does its own thing with recognizable and profitable IP. They innovate for easier access and convenience, not for RAW POWER or extraneous features such as watching TV on a console. Wii had motion controls to get people to move. Wii U had that as well as a prototype to what the Switch eventually became. Switch is what Wii U tried to be but had a few more years to get it to work. The majority of the video game industry's innovations, which are now the standard, have been brought to existence by Nintendo (who reaped the first player advantages) and imitated by competitors (with little success). Nintendo is the family-friendly console trying to branch out to hardcore gamers. Everyone else is just hardcore gaming with very few family-friendly games. Less money vs. more money. Nintendo solidified its role as the cheaper alternative. That's why it's still around.

I hope I can hack it. I missed the boat for Switch hacking because only year one units have the exploit.

That's what the Pro version will be.
Normal switch for both docked and handheld with "serviceable" performance.
Lite for handheld only
Pro for home console only experience with superior performance.

It's really not meant to be a true replacement. It's for people that already owns another console but wants to play games on the go that isn't on a smartphone. Imagine playing Tetris 99 whenever and wherever you want.

Damn that's fucking weird, brightness control would be more important than ever on a dedicated handheld.

It's probably either a weaker chip or the venting isn't good enough for TV mode.
The reason why the default switch is weaker portable than docked is because
1. Bigger power drain when docked
2. Runs hotter

It's undockable
DOA

Waggling games I suppose.

That's stupid.

I just moved out of my parents house and started getting a big boy pay. I don't plan on getting a TV anytime soon so I feel like this was made for me specifically.

Unironically, hacked games run faster out of my SD card than from my legit cartridges.

mine stays docked because it would be impossible to play it at work. and since my apartment is fucking tiny as shit and I never have friends over, there's no reason to remove it from my room.

i've tried using it as a handheld in bed a few times, but it just works better(for me) being docked to my big ass television.

if I could use it at work, or perhaps still attending college, i'd probably use portable mode all the time.

The Joycons are incredibly fragile, the buttons and sticks wear out very easily.

Honestly going to fly off the shelves this Christmas at that price for kids who don't care about playing on a TV.

Nintendo stands out because of the games. I'd rather have the Switch be another weak PC like the Ps4 than an underpowered gimmick machine. Fuck handheld and fuck BasedCons.

Switch pro will probably be either $300 and $350, while switch default will go down to $250 and lite will go down to $170 or $180

What does that have to do with performance?
It's probably a battery saving measure

You can always hook it to a monitor if you have one and take advantage of the overclock. Some games like Mario Kart and Smash actually run at 1080p/60.

It's phenomenal. Emus full speed up to Dreamcast. You can even upscale PSP games.

This is honestly what the Switch should have been in the first place, just a good dedicated handheld. Removing TV-Out is fucking retarded though, just slap an HDMI-out on the bottom of it and call it a fucking day, you don't even need a dock for it. It's also fucking stupid that Nintendo put a D-Pad on this but still refuses to release an official Joycon with a D-Pad. If this doesn't have better battery life then it's really hard to justify over the regular Switch, but if I didn't have a Switch by now I might consider getting this instead.

They should have done one in the videos themselves. It was a gaf on their part, but they did one for the PR. 0.4" shorter vertically and 1.2" horizontally with same amount of depth.

Of course. You thought we're not getting a cheaper handheld for Pokemon? How silly of you. Pokemon doesn't need docked play. It's always been for handhelds, especially in competitive play where you need to take your console with you to events.

This also excuses why SWSH are lackluster in the power department. They need to accommodate this new console, which GF knew was in the works.

They're extraneous Power Moons. You don't even need half of them to clear the game. And you can always buy out to 999.

I don't know if this is a good thing to bad thing. It could gimp docked play to make handheld better

It does? Source?

I don't want to use non-proprietary chargers because they might cause hardware issues. When I shell out hundreds for a system, I want to make sure I can charge without issues.

I doubt there will be a pro version very much now unless it some kind of cheaper docked only version of the Switch. Reason being is Nintendo now needs to make games that can play on the Switch in handheld mode in addition to the Switch Lite so any real hardware upgrades would basically be pointless.

how is that a switch? what are you switching on that console? the joycons don't detach - you can't switch from handheld to monitor. it's basically cannibalizing the experience for younger gamers whose parents will buy this cheap alternative.

i'm sure it will sell on price alone.

Finally I can get a Switch. This is good, people will either be oblivious and sell their regular Switch for less money with some games thrown in, or I'll just grab a new Switch lite.
Either way, I win. Fuck, I was really waiting for a model revision

Or they just make the game incompatible with the Lite.

But what did people use the 2DS for other than being an axe head or door stop?

>Not double screening while you play or playing on lunch at work

Except play games on a TV, which is a pretty big fucking feature.

They shouldn't have gone for the hybrid meme and just made another dedicated handheld and dedicated console. Now they're already segmenting the install base into handheld-only and handheld/console, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Switch revision is dock-only. The Switch should have just been this handheld to begin with, then they should have made a separate home console that isn't garbage.

That's fucking pathetic, what a waste.

Nintendo Switch-i fucking when?

desu my only hope is that the switch pro/2 is actually a dock with upgraded hardware that's compatible with the original and light, maintaining the ability to "switch" from home console to portable without splitting up the line too much.

alright, just barely then

It'll be a permanently docked version.

If Nintendo called this anything else, it wouldn't sell nearly as much. It is important for consumers to know that a) this is the same product as the Nintendo Switch and not a new console, and b) that the console has been stripped of both features and size compared to the original, hence the name Lite.

Calling this a Nintendo HDS or a Nintendo 3HDS, for example, wouldn't do it any favors.

What kind of colors?

What's the point of handheld only? There are already third-party docks that don't have the interference problems of big Switch dock.

If I have to guess, it could be some of the beefier games coming out next year. A possibility could be Prime 4. I would not worry too much since when the 3ds did it, there were hardly any games affected.

You want 2 consoles instead of one?
You do realize that will segment people even more, right?
Wii U failed in some part because 3DS exists as a cheaper alternative to handhelds. You had to choose games strictly for handheld or for console, but not for both. Now you have games designed for both.
This decision to make handheld consoles for casuals is actually a good thing.

If this is the case, it won't have a screen and will probably be cheaper too. I'd be pretty tempted

The pro version is just hardware updates to the original Switch and will still be called the Switch. The Lite is needed since they want people to stop thinking the Switch is their handheld successor.

Some people liked the fact that it didnt have a clamshell design

Citation needed. It sounds like all they did was remove HD Rumble and put it in a smaller shell. If the hardware was actually any weaker I'd expect the price to be $150 or less.

It depends on how lazy they were with the internals. If it's the same hardware then there's no reason that shouldn't work. But Nintendo being Nintendo, it's also entirely possible that the hardware's exactly the same but it blocks it in the system software.

5.5 vs 6.2

Nintendo will come crawling back to Chadcom the moment they give them attention

Nobody goes outside to play video games, autist.

why? you can connect joycons so what speaks against connecting 4 of them and playing mario kart besides missing the integrated stand?

It's listed on the official website. It's approximately an inch smaller. Here:

>Switch: 4” high, 9.4” long, .55” deep (with Joy-Con attached)
>Lite: 3.6” high, 8.2” long, .55” deep

The real difference is the price point, $300 vs $200, and battery life, 2-3 hrs vs 3-7 hrs.

OH NONONONO Switchlets were just getting uppity! From now on ALL of their games will be made with a portable console in mind, forget about that rumble and motion GAIJIN

So hold on.

It's like a 3DS.

Except it's not 3D.

There's no 2nd screen.

And it doesn't play 3DS games.

Why would ANYONE want to buy this shit?

This is clearly them learning from the 'WiiU' situation though. They're making it very clear it's still in the Switch family but a cheaper, handheld only alternative rather than 'new Switch' or 'Switch 2' or something.
Because to get the size down they've certainly parred back the active cooling present and I reckon the die shrink alone isn't enough to make up the difference.

Wait so if you buy a pair of Joycons it still does not support tablet mode?

It's handheld mode only, they don't need a kickstand for tabletop mode and if you're playing while charging then you're holding it anyway

This makes no sense to me. Why would you buy extra joycons for games and not be able to play tabletop?

I don't see how that improves portability, it looks to have roughly the same size and you can't remove the joycons to pack it tighter. And you still need to protect the screen somehow.

I'm personally waiting for the "pro" version so I'm a bit annoyed though, I grant you that.

I could understand if you said "they understood hybrid is a retarded idea" but why are you shitting one of the noon-shitty gimmicks they released ?

It's more comfortable in docked mode and some games simply play better docked.
in handheld mode I either have to look down when sitting which is bad for my neck or I have to be in bed. I hate being in bed during the day.

I only use it in handheld mode when I'm tired after gym.

They kept backward compatibility with the joycons & pro controller for games like 1-2-Switch, there's no reason they couldn't have made this one QoL change now they were given the chance.

The only reason I would buy a lite version would be for my cousin who is on a budget raising his daughter.

The Switch hack requires you to short two pins INSIDE A JOYCON RAIL.

>Lite is 100% single player only. It will not support any multiplayer in games.
False.
Regardless, I prefer to play games on the Switch with a pro controller while it's propped up. The joycons are just that shit.

Real question, how do you play a nintendo switch outside when you are with other human beings while actually being able to focus on your game and not feel awkward that you are ignoring everyone else around you unless you are in a secluded outdoor space? Nintendo makes it seem like it’s totally normal but I for one know that is fake and gay. Nobody plays it outside like nintendo demonstrated in their video. Is Nintendo living in a fantasy completely out of touch with reality?

will there be more colors? grey is boting and the other 2 are to flashy, how about a metallic one?

This is great for emulation

I don't have a switch currently, I'll definitely buy the pro if it's a real upgrade. Being able to play the existing library with actually decent performance would be worth it.

Yes I'm sure they'll keep using full Switch functionality in new games despite the fact that many people won't be able to use it

>they think theres ever going to be a switch pro

How are you supposed to do the gyro puzzles in BOTW?

Well who the fuck is going to bother take advantage of it is my question. Nintendo maybe but if a game runs well enough in handheld mode and docked mode for the OG Switch why take the extra effort to take advantage of more powerful hardware for a very niche market? Or even make the hardware? Sure it'd be nice but in the grand scheme the people that it is a key selling point to are too small to be a relevant market force. The market for a streamlined and cheaper handheld only Switch had a potential market. No one is going to make games that can't be played in handheld mode, it is simply too popular an option to alienate.

More likely because it's still a $200 piece of equipment and they don't want to encourage people to shove it into their pockets and get everything all scratched up.

True. It literally states on their website that tabletop mode is not supported on Lite.

Also, if you buy joycons you can't even charge them you have to buy another seperate charging grip too lmaoooo

Isn't that an issue only for the initial batch of Switch at release? I think the later batches had that issue ironed out already.

Make it Q4 2020 and I'll believe it...

The Tegra X1 upgrade was revealed only recently and I think this is what a Pro Switch would have. Not an X2, those are still way, WAY too expensive to the point that only some super expensive car uses them.

>Why would ANYONE want to buy this shit?
How old are you? Is this your first generation change?

when you think about it there's not really a market for a switch pro to begin with

Look at the analog stick assembly of any modern controller, then compare it to the Switch's. They had to go with a less reliable solution in an effort to make it more compact.

It is.

You charge it with a charger lol?

So it's basically just a smaller, cheaper Switch, right?
Eh, if someone doesn't have the money for it I can understand them buying it.

I actually use both, docked when I'm home and handheld when I'm out

I don't even remotely care because prior to Mario Maker 2 I literally never used this thing in handheld mode and I really can't imagine wanting to do so for an extended period of time aside from the rare multi-hour trip where I'm not driving (which hasn't happened yet).
I don't hate it though, it seems kinda silly for anyone to hate this. This is an obvious option that they'd go for, and it doesn't make me feel like I got ripped off for buying the Switch before its announcement.
I'm pretty jealous of that actual D-pad joycon though. I really hope they release joycons like the Switch Lite controllers without the gimmicks no one uses and the D-pad for a cheaper price.

>that relied on shorting two pins inside the right Joycon rail

Why does NoA always needed dubbed lmao can Americans not read ?

>delayed
Why?

Got a source?

Most switch games use variable resolution and unlocked framerates meaning that a ton of games already out would instantly run and look better on a pro version out of the box. You can already do this by overclocking you current switch with hacks.

For example we can play Crash Kart in 720p in handheld with overclocking compared to 480p stock.

With extra power every game would be better. And better memory and CPU would improve load times which have started to get REALLY bad on newer switch games

Not him but I got a USB-C cable with my Pro controller and my phone came with a USB wall brick, so yeah, I'll charge it when I'm running low while out and about

Someone got me a carrying case as a gift so it holds everything

You want a 90 bucks handheld? Go to an yard sale, cheapfuck.

I'm pretty sure there's no tabletop mode because the weight is no longer equally distributed since the joycons can't be removed, and it just looks awful to play with seperate joycons on a Switch with the joycons still attached to it.

Sony and Microsoft figured out how to add dedicated servers to their games.

I believe Q2-Q3 more than Q4. Q4 would be a disaster because that's when Sony and Microsoft are releasing their consoles. It's best to get a head start on them.

Ironically, I don't have a problem with this as hardware, but the games don't work for this. This isn't like the 2DS where a purely optional and non-intrusive gimmick was removed. Thanks to a typical lack of forward thinking and an equally typical obsession with forcing gameplay gimmicks, Nintendo just invalidated, inconvenienced, or gimped a bunch of first party Switch titles with this. Which could've been solved if it was at least dockable.

In order to hack a Switch, you have to access its Recovery Mode.
In order to access a Switch's Recovery Mode, you need to short to pins at the very bottom of the right Joycon rail.
You can use a paperclip, some aluminium foil or buy a custom built jig to do it.

People are forgetting that 99% of nips are playing it handheld. Literally nothing of value is lost for them by not using tv or tabletop mode. The Lite has a longer battery life and will probably play games better as shown when botw played better in handheld than docked. The only problem is the price point

wasn't the point of a switch is to switch from console to portal?. is like releasing a new nintendo DS with one screen

Did ANYBODY buy the 2DS?

are you retarded?

Without motion you can't even play Pokemon let's go handheld, can you?

Yeah it would look better and more choices are great for a consumer but I fail to see an incentive for Nintendo to go the effort.

>4k indie games

Because Fuck You, kid!
That's right! Uncle Nintenda here to tell ya to Get Fucked™.

who the fuck goes to places for activities to play switch? why don't you put a funeral and someone playing switch while you're at it?

They can but they do have A/C in their homes unlike your Europoor Home.

you can, that piece of garbage lets you just press a botton to capture in handheld mode

>The real difference is the price point, $300 vs $200, and battery life, 2-3 hrs vs 3-7 hrs.
Just stop being an actual idiot. Battery life is 2.5-6.5 vs 3-7 (BOTW 3 vs 4 hrs)

The console makes perfect sense from a corporate angle.

Consumers want a cheaper option.
Most millennials (and younger) do not personally own a TV > remove the docking feature

I may end up buying this depending on how the screen is for playing games. I've wanted Mario Odyssey and Zelda for the longest time but never bothered with a Switch.

Dude, the new Xbox and PlayStation's are coming out Christmas 2020 and your wondering why Nintendo should put a system out that will be able to do above 720p? The switch can BARELY run current multiplats. They need an upgrade badly.

That's a third party phone case. If anyone wants to do the same for the Switch, be my guest.

Lmao, that's never going to be like that.
You'll get a slightly upgraded Switch that will still be not even remotely a match for base Ps4/Xbone, and you'll like it.

The 2DS is still selling hell the 3DS was the first to get it's productions stopped

Gyro works in Splatoon 2, I'd honestly argue that Splatoon 2 is the best console shooter right now just because of it.
Though it all feels retarded compared to kb+m.

We GBC Era now.

how retarded are you? Their "gimmicky" stuff sold better than any of their generic shit.

Nintendo doesn't want to and can't compete with Sony in high-fidelity AAA stuff. They have however perfected making money with almost no investment and now Switch might also be the best console for Indie games.

Seems like it might actually be handheld now. I would have preferred the other Jew variant of a pro version though

Oh yeah it absolutely does but fuck it played it like that anyway because handheld is comfy

Nintendo wants you to GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR MOM'S BASEMENT.

>Virtual console
>I want to buy retro games again for the third time.

This. What the fuck were they actually thinking?

>$350
no. ps4 had a $299 sale during black friday, and still technically has the better library this gen. improved graphics is not a huge selling point for nintendo, they just need more 3rd party support.

to be fair the switch has done a great job of doing what the wii-u couldn't do with 3rd party developers, but until we see shit like monhun world, RDR2, GTA6 and other big name titles, there's just no way i'd pay full console price for a nintendo product.

>those foot steps
my dick

adjustable brightness is something that can be patched in though, yawn.

and you realize 720p will look better on a smaller screen right?

That's not my issue. Im sure gyro is still in, but now instead of twisting a single joycon around to solve those already finicky puzzles, you'll have to rotate the entire handheld like a fucking goob.

I'm just saying that solutions have already been found. Nintendo could have easily included a second stand, had a U-shape stand, or just not put it off to one side.

Yes. A shitload of people did user.

I knew it was there, but yeah, first time I used it on Steam it was like "oh hey wow that's bright"

Gotta buy that Switch Wormlight, user!

Original is for people that likes waggling games and the ability to play with 2 people on the fly. It's much more than simply not liking the controller.

It just needs to be a port machine. It does not need to be a 4k one. Give me 1080p 60fps or 720p 60fps with 2 hours more of battery life. It's that simple.

This one isn't true.

It removes features but doesn't touch tech specs

>Lower resolution
Same resolution in handheld, though. In fact it's going to be higher pixel density.

I would say "New 3DS" and DSi were a bit of a fuckup, but at least the DSi only had like 7 and the New 3DS 14 exclusives

Why call it a Switch when it can't switch between modes?

They were sane enough to not call the 2DS the 3DS lite

They missed the opportunity to upgrade the chipset.

So this confirms being a quasi-console was a mistake.

can you adjust the brightness?

is it glass at least now

the tech for that isnt affordable.

Nintendo Switch: 3/3/17
Breath of the Wild: 3/3/17

Nintendo Switch Lite: 9/20/19

Technically Nintendo is the only one on gen9 at the moment BECAUSE of the Switch

wii u, ps4, and xbone are all gen8, and ps5/scarlett aren't out yet

>lighter than the Vita
>smaller than the Vita in most places
>full controller

Yeah, sounds like Switch Lite is the best portable-only on the market, with normal Switch being the overall best console with portable abilities.

Probably only in the options menu.

>lower resolution

>need to buy Joy Con seperately
Why would you expect a handheld to include extra controllers?
>shit tier colours
idk I think they are pretty good
>handheld
99% of Japanese market plays in handheld and all the kids and women who will be getting it to replace 3DS for Pokemon and Animal Crossing respectively prefer handheld. Wait for the pro next year if you hate handheld.

an actual good console and I don't mean switch pro

The New 3DS was probably more of a fuckup than the DSi. The DSi was more a mid life refresh to make the system look a little less old news next to the PSP and increasingly capable phones. The N3DS meanwhile was more sold for its beefed up hardware, that virtually nothing actually took advantage of.
What would they call it? 'Just A Handheld That Does Not Switch But Plays Switch Games'?

So Breath of the Wild 2 comes out alongside Switch Pro.

fucking based

i'm actually curious about this.

for any user in thread that knows a lot about technology, my phone and table have a 'smart view' option that lets me OUT to any tv or smart device. why couldn't nintendo add something like that for this switch? I realize there's a shit ton of latency when doing this, but if i'm playing a non competitive title that doesn't require e-sport reaction time, why not make it available?

Attached: 1552025106901.jpg (720x708, 39K)

What Sony, MS and 3rd party devs do isn't that much of a needle mover for Nintendo and it clearly hasn't been for a while. I'm not calling the idea dumb or saying it can't happen, just that I doubt it. Nintendo has basically cemented their position as the dominant console for Japanese game development. Personally I will keep any enjoy my Switch that I have. It works great besides the fact the right joy con doesn't lock as firmly as it should because I did damage to the mechanism.

And don't forget
>cheaper than the Vita at launch.

>using gyro controls in handheld mode

subhuman

>Despite the change in size, the resolution for the Switch Lite’s display remains the same 720p as the original Switch, though curiously you can no longer adjust the brightness.

>200 dollars

for a lot of people, price is the main thing keeping them from getting a switch. this thing is going to sell very well, especially with kids at christmas time.

the anons who wanted a "super charged" switch are first of all, retarded to think nintendo would go that direction, but second of all are conflating their own disappointment with the fact that this is exactly what nintendo needed to do even better with the casual market

3DS is still bae

>splitting the install base
There's a reason the N3DS only got like 4 exclusive games

They could but it will not be optimal. Once they put it in, it will be their ass on the line if it's unstable, tips over and something breaks. So rather than risk something that isn't balanced, and quite frankly, not needed for a handheld, just take it out.

I use the regular Switch exclusively on my TV. It's fine.

You'll have to hang upside down to solve it

>nice program for account unity across various switch consoles and ease of transferring cloud saves
Games can already be shared across systems so long as you Link your account to the secondary system and are connected to the internet and that system. Cloud saves already exist and can be transferred between switches through the online service.

Make a dock only version for the same price with a controller included and I might buy one.
It's impossible to play videogames on the train because I can't get into them, the most I have ever mustered playing a game outside was sudoku.

Tell them to go PSNHomo™

Eh i like it except it seems a little expensive for what thet are offering.
Been waiting for this specifically but wish it was smaller and more compact.

>any grown person who buys this is an idiot
so your average nintendo fan

That would make sense

Makes sense. Pokemon is their game to shill with the Lite and BotW2 will be for the Pro.

FUCKING COPE HOLY SHIT

Because docked mode involves increased power draw and clocks, which mean more heat output, that the slimmer cooling solution probably couldn't handle.

So instead of a simple solution that is practically guaranteed to work, just be lazy?

"won't get an upgrade right now" means "we are not telling so you buy the regular Switch and then double dip when we announce the pro" in PR speech.

LOL, the snoyfag was skullfucked by Nintendo so badly he went retarded.

Could be only a lack of auto-brightness adjustment. The Verge is the only place stating no brightness adjust at all.

You're adorable, please jump for us some more. :)

There actually wasn't a old-style 2DS XL or small New 2DS, only the original 2DS and New 2DS XL

It's a handheld that's meant to be played outside. The less moving parts on it, the better.

I bet it's to differentiate it from the 100 dollar more expensive normal switch.
Removing docked mode entirely prevents the light from replacing the normal model.

I like it
I wish you could use it on the tv and use the system as the controller but maybe modding will add this in.
Cheaper price is good.
Only one good color why is there no red or blue?
I might get one since the main drawback of the system is it being worse as a handled and a console and this is just a handled. Also only 4 major system sellers right now. This system should get rid of problems that normal switch had with joycons like drifting and their existence.
I wonder how long it is going to take to mod this.

As a causal who didn't buy a switch because of the price and would only really use handheld mode, and who has no friends too, this is perfect to me.

At the same time I can see why a lot of you guys are frustrated, but were you seriously expecting upgraded features from a lite version??

An advertisement or not. I find it to be a little unrealistic

>I'm the retard buying regressive hardware
COPE

And it could have been more if just the tiniest bit of effort was put into it. Now when you try to play a game that doesn't support handheld, you need to lay it down flat because there's no way to prop it up.

>the anons who wanted a "super charged" switch are first of all, retarded to think nintendo would go that direction,
user they are. There is two versions of the Switch. A mini and a Pro. The pro is not going to come out around this time because it would piss people off who already bought it. Pro is rumored Q2 2020.

Really wanted one without the bezel, but I doubt they would remove the touch functionally since they just launched Mario Maker 2.

99% of games support handheld mode.

I only use my 3ds to play original ds games now anyways

The difference is the custom Tegra would be backwards compatible meaning the OG switch would still run it.

The Lite probably doesn't have bluetooth since all the basic model uses it for is detached JoyCons and the Pro Controller.
?
You were either misinformed or lying and got corrected for it.

Mega stupid. They forgot to mention the price, but listed all the crap that was cut.

then why would you connect another switch to it

You are the reason Pokemon went to shit with your hardware faggotery

Attached: 52156118641424.jpg (680x501, 73K)

I don't get why they don't simply add a Mini-HDMI out or something like that. This would instantly make it capable for TV play, like the Vita was. Technically you could even use the charging port for USB to HDMI with the correct controller.

How did it feel to be made retarded through rape?

????

Only for the first year or so before the joycons' sticks start to drift.
It's already confirmed you can connect other controllers.

imagine waggling with the switch in public. the lite is for chads who want the premium handheld experience.

on another note, the release of this game completely kills all the waggling game devlopement, kudos.

>Not an X2, those are still way, WAY too expensive
Nvidia sells a cheap ass tablet and streaming box with X2s in them, they aren’t expensive

Because docked mode involves the system running faster to produce a higher resolution image. It runs faster docked than handheld. How the fuck do people not understand this and why this might pose an issue for a slimmed down, cheaper version?

You realize people are calling you retarded because the Switch Lite factually has the same handheld resolution and BETTER battery life than the original Switch, according to Nintendo's own press release?

Because that requires effort. The lite doesn't do anything that wasn't there in the original model.

>not buying a warranty for electronics

yikes

Dedicated servers that aren’t a laggy mess. Most game companies figured this out like 20 years ago.

You're confusing handheld mode with tabletop mode. A pure handheld is not made with tabletop in mind because you can't detach the joycons and play 2 players mode on the go.

I bought an original 2DS because I wanted to get back into Nintendo but I was broke at the time.

They still might just not now i guess.

This is your brain on HRT.
Dual screens were a shit gimmick, they were always a shit gimmick. They only used them to get around the problem of having touch controls on such a tiny screen. This was also the reason the stylus existed which was yet another terrible idea.
What are you faggots going to tell me next, that glasses-less 3D was a good idea?

Attached: 1338479484102.gif (300x167, 1.27M)

It clearly is made with tabletop in mind because you can still connect joycons to it.

This is just Switch: Women and children edition.

Because it's a pure handheld version of the Switch, not a replacement. Letting the Lite do the things that the Switch can, would be cannibalizing their own sales.

a switch with an x2 still wont have performance on par with an x1/ps4 anyway.

people are gonna have to lower expectations for the rumored pro version. expect 1080p at the same framerates or the same resolution with better framerates. not actual improved graphics.

They said it was $200, were you not paying attention?

Why’d they move the speakers to be facing downward instead of front facing like on the original

this man really took his switch to the moon

Handheld Vita never had TV out, only that weird Vita TV that took out all the handheld stuff had that

PSP had both handheld and TV out in the same unit, but Vita never did

Room temperature IQ retard. He is clearly implying that he has no need for switch lite because he has an original switch, which can also be used portably.

Kill yourself

Like every other time they've released a straight upgrade?

because the slimmed down version quite possibly is using a more efficient, better architecture at the cost of losing some feautures of the regular switch???

So people can play waggling games and get more value out of the games they paid for. Making people buy the same games twice because the Lite doesn't support waggling would be bad for their reputation.

Vita could not do this. First models had the potential for output and capture but Sony never did anything with it because it was a failure. It can be modded in.

Kill yourself

It's going to be using a die shrink, but it's not going to be enough to compensate for the smaller heatsink to allow docked performance. Simple.

Those are screws

No problem with that, not like vidya is only for adult men

>Switch games

How is it a straight upgrade when it doesn't connect to the TV and removed features from the joycons?

Seems like I fucked this up. I thought there was some way
I actually didn't remember that, right.
