In a way, these new wireless controllers<\/a> from 8BitDo kind of defeat the purpose of the Switch Lite. So, why do I kind of want them? Honestly, I\u2019m pretty enamored with the new, more portable version of Nintendo\u2019s wildly successful console. As I noted in a recent review, it\u2019s exactly the take on the Switch I was looking for as a TV-less frequent traveler.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch Lite review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The idea of an accessory that\u2019s roughly half the size of the Lite kind of goes against the whole bit about \u201cbuilt-in\u201d Joy-Cons. Also, the Lite doesn\u2019t have a built-in kickstand, so you\u2019re either finding a way to prop it up or playing it flat on a table. Neither scenario is ideal, and yet here I am, thinking about shelling out $25 to augment my setup with a matching turquoise version.<\/p>\n

Life comes at you fast.<\/p>\n

The controller actually sports two D-pads, rather than sticks, which is nice for all of those NES and SNES titles that have been added to Switch Online. Honestly, my Switch playing has been like 95% A Link to the Past since I started testing the Lite. The controller is up for pre-order now through Amazon<\/a> and set to start shipping at the end of October \u2014 plenty of time for me to come to my senses.<\/p>\n
