Nintendo Switch Lite finally unveiled
Nintendo finally unveiled the long-rumored Nintendo Switch Lite. Besides the compact size, the biggest difference is a classic D-pad control. Due out in September, it will retail for $200. From The Verge:
Nintendo says the Lite features "slightly" improved battery life - the company wouldn't get any more specific than that - due to a more power-efficient chip layout, as well as the lack of additional batteries in the built-in controllers. The Switch Lite also does away with the device's controversial kickstand...
The Lite comes in multiple colors at launch - yellow, grey, and turquoise - as well as a special light grey Poki(C)mon Sword and Shield edition, and they all have a pleasant matte texture that feels great to hold....
The new device has a 5.5-inch touch display, compared to 6.2-inch for its predecessor. If you take a single Joy-Con off of an original Switch, you'll have a good idea of the size of the new version.
