Nintendo <\/span><\/a> has unveiled a new Nintendo Switch called the Nintendo Switch Lite<\/a>. As the name suggests, this console is a bit cheaper than the original Nintendo Switch, but it comes with a few drawbacks.<\/p>\n

The biggest difference between the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Light is that you can\u2019t connect the Switch Light to a TV. There\u2019s no dock or port designed for TV connection.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the only compromise you\u2019ll have to make, as the Joy-Con controllers aren\u2019t detachable. You can\u2019t put your Switch on a table and keep the controllers in your hands for instance.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can buy Joy-Con controllers or the more traditional Nintendo Switch Pro controller separately. You\u2019ll have to find a way to charge your Joy-Con controllers without the Switch \u2014 the Charging Grip could do the job for instance.<\/p>\n

But other than that, you\u2019ll be able to play the exact same games that you\u2019ve been playing on the Switch. As long as games support handheld mode, they will work on the Switch Lite \u2014 nearly 100% of games work in handheld mode.<\/p>\n

The Switch Lite is slightly smaller and slightly lighter than the Switch \u2014 0.61 lbs versus 0.88 lbs (277 g versus 399 g). It features a 5.5-inch touchscreen instead of a 6.2-inch touchscreen.<\/p>\n

If you were wondering what would come after the 3DS, it sounds like the Switch Lite is the perfect replacement for a cheap handheld console. And the good news is that you should get better battery life. Nintendo says you will be able to play for 3 to 7 hours. In their testings, they could play Zelda: Breath of the Wild for 4 hours.<\/p>\n

Nintendo will release the Nintendo Switch Lite on September 20. The device will be available in multiple colors \u2014 yellow, gray and turquoise.<\/p>\n
