You'll also have to be careful about syncing saved data between your consoles. I suppose this makes sense, since you might not want to have data for older games clogging up your precious storage, but it would have been nice to get some alerts from Nintendo.

I had to manually download those in the settings. My cloud saves via Switch Online didn't come over automatically, though. While adding a new user, I just had to sign into my Nintendo Account and re-download my games. Using the Switch Lite as a secondary console was easier than I expected.

The Switch Lite (and yes, the Switch Pro Controller) proves it still knows how to make them. At the very least, I hope Nintendo makes its own alternative Joy-Con with a true directional pad.

Alas, the dreams of rooftop Switch parties from Nintendo's iconic launch video were a lie. But, to be honest, I can't recall if I've ever actually done that. Its Joy-Cons were designed to be used as standalone controllers so you could use them for quick two-player matches. The more I used the Switch Lite, the clearer it became that Nintendo sacrificed usability to make the original Switch a do-it-all console. While it's not as superb as the SNES controller's while playing Super Mario World, it's certainly miles ahead of the four-button setup from the Switch, which was so bad I was forced to replace it with a third-party Joy-Con that had a real D-pad. It's smooth, accurate and simply fun to use. The major difference is the directional pad, which is sure to delight fans of classic 2D games. The Switch Lite controls similarly to the original: The two joysticks still feel fast and fluid, the four buttons on the face are still a bit too small and stiff and the triggers and top buttons are even more comfortable, since they're on a smaller case. In the name of accessibility alone, it'd be nice to see developers offer font scaling options, moving forward. Zelda's item descriptions were already hard to read on the Switch, and you'll really have to squint to see them on the Lite. And its smaller size makes tiny text a pain. The screen itself looks just as bright as the original Switch, though it's still tough to see in direct sunlight. At first, I was worried that the smaller screen would make games less immersive, but I had no trouble diving into long Breath of the Wild and Fire Emblem Three Houses play sessions.

They're both 720p displays, but the smaller size technically makes the Switch Lite a bit sharper when it comes to pixel density. Nintendo was also able to make the Switch Lite smaller by using a 5.5-inch display, instead of the big Switch's 6.2-inch screen. And of course, I didn't have the low-level anxiety of worrying about Joy-Cons flying off if I dropped it (something that happened often with my Switch). Those permanently attached controllers go a long way towards making the entire device feel solid. When it comes to gaming on the go, I far prefer the latter.Īfter playing a few rounds of Mario Kart, I noticed that the Switch Lite feels significantly sturdier than its bigger sibling. The original Switch feels like Nintendo awkwardly slapped controllers on a tablet, while the Switch Lite is more like a smartphone with controllers ergonomically optimized for its smaller size. Its Joy-Con controllers aren't securely attached, since they also need to be easily removed. As a handheld, it's heavy and far too wide, thanks to an abundance of bezel around its large 6.2-inch screen.

While that machine was revolutionary for being able to hop between home console and portable modes, it wasn't really optimized for either.

It's clear that Nintendo wanted to make something that addressed the major downsides of the Switch. And once you hold it, it's hard to let go. Your hands naturally gravitate towards it, like it's a puppy begging to be pet. The brighter colors, slimmer size and light weight make it almost seem like a Funko Pop version of the Switch. If you couldn't tell from my hands on - where I dubbed the Switch Lite the cutest console we've ever seen - it's an adorable piece of hardware.
