The Nintendo Switch Lite is the compact lightweight of the Nintendo Switch family with integrated controls.
All Nintendo Switch titles that support handheld mode can be played on Nintendo Switch Lite - ideal for those who are often on the move and want to play online or locally with friends and family who already have the flagship Nintendo Switch.
As the Nintendo Switch Lite is a games console designed specifically for handheld gaming, it does not support playback on a TV. Players can connect Joy-Con controllers (sold separately) wirelessly to Nintendo Switch Lite to play titles that do not support handheld mode. This requires a device that can be used to charge the Joy-Con controllers, such as the Joy-Con charging cradle (sold separately).

The differences compared to the Nintendo Switch at a glance:

• Game modes: The Nintendo Switch Lite only supports handheld mode (TV and tabletop modes not available)
• Compatible software: Nintendo Switch software playable in handheld mode
• Joy-Con controllers: The console does not include the HD vibration function or the IR motion camera
• Nintendo Switch Station: The console is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch Station and does not support playback on the TV
