Whats a Nintendo Switch Lite?
As a tech lover, I couldn't be more thrilled to share our new favorite gaming console, the Nintendo Switch. If you have kids on your list to shop for this holiday season, make certain to add the Nintendo Switch to your list and head to Best Buy for all of your technology needs.

Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch was designed for those who want the same gaming experience at home and in the car. This game system eliminates the need for two separate systems by providing a seamless experience. The Switch can be docked with your tv for use in the living room or it can stand alone for use anywhere. The console has the Joy-Con detachable controller plus it can link up with other units to enable more fun for multiplayer adventures. Simply lift your Nintendo Switch from its dock you will instantly transition to handheld mode for on-the-go gaming.
More on the Joy-Con Controllers
The Joy-Con controllers can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like traditional controllers, held comfortably in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for multiplayer gaming. The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers have superior motion control because they include a gyroscope and accelerometer.
The Capture button on Joy-Con (L) is used to take gameplay screenshots. Then, players can view, edit (add text of various sizes, colors and positions) and post them to popular social media networks. Each controllers includes advanced HD Rumble, which can provide compatible games with subtle vibrations that are much more realistic than before. Joy-Con (R) includes an IR Motion Camera that can detect the distance, shape and motion of nearby objects in specially designed games.
Cool features of the Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch features a powerful Tegra processor, powered by NVIDIA, that delivers stunning graphics performance. While the Nintendo Switch can connect to the Internet wirelessly, when docked it can also use a wired Internet connection via a LAN adapter. The Nintendo Switch TV Mode supports 5.1 channel surround sound. Through the system's built-in audio jack, stereo speakers or headphones can be used when playing in handheld or tabletop modes.
The Nintendo Switch system includes various on-device parental controls, but parents can also download a smart device application that can be used to easily and conveniently monitor and set parental controls for Nintendo Switch.

Thoughts on the Nintendo Switch
As a child of the 80's, I am such a fan of portable gaming systems and the Nintendo Switch is the most available. Once turned on, the menu layout is very intuitive and easy to understand. The kickstand is a super cool feature that I honestly wish was on my iPad as well. The battery life is fairly long when compared to other systems although I would bring a charger along if you take it with you in the car. I love how easily the Nintendo Switch goes from tv to handheld mode because it is virtually seamless.
While there aren't tons of games available for the Nintendo Switch, the games we did play have great graphics and hello…ZELDA. That's right, you can get The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for your Nintendo Switch. We also got the Mario + Rabbids® Kingdom Battle game. While his system won't replace our Xbox One but it is a solid companion to any gaming system and a great addition for our family.
Give the tech lover and gamers in your life the Nintendo Switch this holiday season. Happy shopping!
Thanks for including my post.
My nephews are nuts for Nintendo Switch, lol. Which means a whole new bunch of games to buy, ha!
The Switch looks so amazing! The kids have been dying for one, and this Christmas they’re going to get it!
We’re getting the Switch as a family Christmas present this year. We played a demo model in the store, and it. is. AWESOME. I can’t wait to see the kids’ faces!
I am planning on getting my little one a Switch for Christmas this year. He will be SO excited.
My boys have been begging for this! I’ve been considering adding it to their Christmas lists. Thanks for sharing your review!
I’ve never heard of Nintendo Switch! As a matter of fact, I thought Nintendo wasn’t even around anymore, due to the rise in popularity of XBox and Playstation. I’m not a gamer, but the Switch looks pretty cool.
The Nintendo Switch sounds like it would be really cool for my kids while they were traveling. What a cool system!
This looks so cool! And I’m sure that most kids would be thrilled to get that for Christmas! The last Nintendo platform we got was the Wii. My kids don’t game as much since they’ve gotten older.
My son wants that Switch so bad he can taste it. I may well get him one for Christmas. 🙂
My husband and I saw something about this not long ago and we both thought it looked like the coolest thing! We love our tech so we may have to get one and try it out for ourselves!
My kids love the Nintendo Switch. I like it because any age can get it on the games.
We’ve been hearing all about the Nintendo Switch. We can’t wait to get to try it out.
I am so glad to have read your review. We are thinking of getting a intendo Switch for my son for Christmas.
I’m not sure who will be asking for the Nintendo Switch first… my kids or my husband. Looks like it would be fun for everyone.
The Nintendo Switch sounds pretty cool! My son would absolutely love this for our long car rides. We might just have to get him one for his birthday.
My daughter would go nuts for a Nintendo Switch. You had me sold on Zelda. I drowned myself in that game back in the day!
I have heard lots of great things about Nintendo Switch. I know that so many gamers are hopping on board to get it, will have to check it out!
I have been thinking about the Switch for my kids for Christmas. I have seen a ton of reviews, but none really answered the questions that I was wondering. It looks awesome and you answered my questions! This is for sure going on our Christmas list!
The Switch seems like a lot of fun and I love how portable it is! I’ll be checking out the Top Tech list for this year.
It never fails to amaze me to see how far technology has come! WOW! I can’t believe how awesome this new Switch is from Nintendo. My nephew would love it! Then again he probably has it already LOL! But I need to check – a great gift idea too!
Tell Santa, that Nintendo Switch needs to be under the Christmas tree. There is so much fun to be held with handheld devices at Best Buy.
These are awesome!! Makes a perfect gift this holiday!
It sounds like a gadget my boys would love. We’ve been talking about this and if it’s worth it to get it. Thanks for this review!
This would be a perfect gift for my tech-crazed nephew. I know he will flip over this! I just have to let him know that homework, and chores come first before spending time playing.
I love that Nintendo is back on the market with some awesome new gaming systems. I used to love my Nintendo (the original) growing up and so these systems make me a little nostalgic! HA!
I have heard about Nintendo switch. and I can’t wait to purchase this.
It’s pretty amazing! I’m sure the kids these days love it. It’s a nice gift for the holidays!
I am all about the new game systems but we have not gotten this one! I loved it as a kid so this would be a fun way to play it now!
My kids have never had any video games like this. They are 10 and 12 and the only game they play is what’s available in their iPods, usually puzzle games and trivia.
My kids have been asking for a handheld gaming device. I’m sure they would love this, and it would be great for road trips. I’ll have to check it out for the holidays.
This is definitely on my kids wish list for Christmas! They have had the opportunity to play it several times and are dying to own it!
I grew up on Nintendo products. My brother who is autistic still plays all of the consoles he would like the Nintendo Switch.
This is my daughters number one item she wants for Christmas this year! She has been talking about it for months!
Nintendo has always been a great gaming system so I am sure this Switch is going to be a hit for the holidays. I will have to consult with my expert 12 year old about the top tech for 2017.
We may get the Switch – love your review! I also love the tech options this year for gift giving from Best Buy!
This is something my kiddo is begging for. Christmas is coming so we will have to see what we get him, but this one might be in the running!
That looks like fun! I think my girls would love to have this. I would actually love it myself! I love Nintendo!
That looks like a really cool system. I don’t think my kids have seen that yet but I’m sure it’ll go on the wish list once they do!
The Nintendo Switch is definitely on our Christmas list for the family. Hopefully Santa is good to us this year!
So so fun! This sounds like something my kids would like too, I like how portable it is too.
Sounds like the Nintendo Switch is the system to get for all of the gamers this holiday season.. I will pass this on to my sister in law for my nephews
These are really great ideas for holiday gifting season! My kids will surely love to get one of those!
I think the Nintendo Switch is on almost every wishlist this holiday season. I can see why – it seems really fun!
My husband would love to get a switch! It’s got some pretty neat features, but I think the on the go is especially appealing.
My kids love their Nintendo Switch, it really is a game changer. Portable and on-screen playing options, the parental controls..so many things to love!

I have heard a lot about this system. It is such a cool concept. It can imagine that it will be adorning many a christmas list.
I’ve heard a lot about Nintendo switch and it is still in the rage nowadays. Ever since it came out and many people are excited to have one for themselves especially teenagers and young adults even older people who are fans of Nintendo.
That looks cool! I think my son has not heard about that yet because he would have already asked for one if he had seen that. 🙂
This is a great gaming system, I hope to get one soon.
I have heard about this device! We don’t generally get any type of gaming accessories for our kids other than letting them play some games on the computer, mostly because I get overwhelmed by everything that is available now. This Nintendo Switch looks really interesting, and I think our children would absolutely love having it! I think this is going on my holiday gift list!
Oh I can think of at least 3 people in my family who will have this on their Christmas lists this year. It would be so handy and really improve their gaming experience!
I’ve been thinking about getting a Switch for the kids so it’s always great to see a review to help me decide. I always think Nintendo makes the best consoles.
My son has this and by far its his fav toy ever! He’s loving the Zelda game!
We are obsessed with the Nintendo Switch. It’s our favorite because of how easily it connects to all of our randomly aged kids.
My 9 year old wants a switch. Thank you for the review!
My son hasn’t asked for the Nintendo Switch yet but I wouldn’t doubt it will make an appearance on his Christmas list. Being able to go from house to car with the same device is awesome.
My nephews are nuts for Nintendo Switch. Of course, that means more expensive games to buy, lol.
This is a great Nintendo Switch review!
