Wow, as a long time PC gamer, I must give it to Nintendo - Nintendo Switch Lite is a perfect mobile gaming killer. No wonder it has been selling so well during this coronovirus lockdown. It took me a while to be able to snatch one at an official price as they were out of stock for many many weeks, and reseller prices were through the roof, but apparently Nintendo managed to get more supply through the lockdown.
Me personally, I didn't like the traditional Switch as it was...I don't know...an overpriced weak sauce tablet console...thing?😕
But Nintendo Switch Lite is oh boy oh boy
Nintendo really made an amazing device at a super competitive price and is crashing all mobile competition rtn.
For me, it was not even a choice. When I was pickinh a mobile gaming device, my options were:
1. Ipad for 550 canadian bucks
2. Samsung Tablet S6 for 980
3. Samsung S6 Lite for 480 buck - competitive but still expensive
4. Some gaming phone for over 800 plus bucks
And the aforementioned devices do not have games such as Doom Eternal or any other AAA titles and Nintendo exclusives that I can play for 260 bucks on a Nintendo Switch
I mean what the hell are Samsung and Apple thinking putting such overpriced shit vs Nintendo Switch 😕 It is not even a competition there.
And Nintendo Shop was not that bad. Lots of deals. The deals were actually pretty good. I managed to grab several modern platformers for 2 bucks and Tales of Vesperia for just 18 bucks. Pretty much like Steam prices honestly.
First-party digital titles are obscenely expensive though😫, and there is literally 0 sense buying them digitally, when at that price you better off buying physical copies so that you can resell them later in order to recover money.
Nintendo Switch Lite has also some design flaws that keep it from being the best handheld of all times:
1. The plastic frame has definitely enough space for a bigger screen. I would say some 1-2 more inches easily.
2. In 2020, no bluetooth support. Really Nintendo?
3. Being able to connect Switch Lite to a TV as some games are not optimized for small screen gaming. Idk why Nintendo removed it when even outdated tablets from 2014 have it.
Oh well, probably in a year or so, Nintendo will come up with a Nitentendo Switch Lite XL 😂🙄
Conclusion:
Nintendo Switch is the cheapest most powerful mobile gaming device rtn, with great third-party support and library, and uber expensive exclusives.
