Well its been 1 week since I purchased the Nintendo Switch lite.
To sum my experience up thus far, the system has greatly held up to
my high expectations, and is definitely a worth while purchase.
I must admit I had some serious reservations about this purchase,
mostly along the lines of: the small form factor, control lay out,
performance and build quality.
To get past these concerns, I did have to make a few additional purchases.
First, I purchased the Hori - Hybrid System Armor case. It provides a solid
layer of protection around the system and is much better in the hand than the flimsy silicone
cases, in addition, the Hybrid System armor acts as a minor grip improvement
which was enough for me to be able to play for extended periods of time
without cramping or discomfort in my hands. additionally, it does not add enough weight to make awkward positioned gaming, like when in bed for example, any more difficult.
Second, I purchased the RDS industries Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case, themed for
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild. The case has a classic look, and provides additional protection and a really nifty stand
for the system that really makes it a more complete unit. It should
be noted that this case is barely large enough to fit with the HORI protector installed and does not come with a screen protector.
Between these two additional purchases I feel confident that my investment is protected, and that I will be
comfortable using it for those long gaming sessions I adore.
As far as performance is concerned, the Switch Lite is a champ! Battery life is well beyond acceptable
and the quality of the small display is outstanding. The one area that is
lacking is the sound quality. Don't get me wrong the small downfiring speakers do a great job
for what they are, However I found that plugging my a headset into the system really made my gaming and video watching much more pleasant.
Speaking of videos, the real gem of the Switch Lite is the Youtube functionality. I now use it for all of my Youtube streaming. The sleek handheld handles HD videos with a crisp and fluid viewing experience, and takes up so little room on my desk I hardly know its there. Making it Perfect as a second screen.
I am considering a few additional purchases in the near future,
a pro controller perhaps for when im stationary and gaming, a screen protector and maybe a Micro SD card.
So if you are on the fence as a first time Switch buyer, be aware it may need a few additional accessories to make your gaming experience really satisfying. However, these are not mandatory by any means, if you have smaller hands than I do for example, or are not accident prone or clumsy, then you should be fine handling the system as is.
Truthfully I was astonished how quickly I took to the system, and how seamlessly it fit into my daily routine. I find myself whenever I have down time reaching for my lite.
It now has a dedicated section in my bedroom for night placement and charging, and a location on my desk for streaming.
I carry it with me everywhere I go, as it easily fits in my shoulder bag and is a much welcomed get away from the stressors of daily life. Which is exactly what I look for in my gaming experience.
The Nintendo Switch Lite comes highly recommended if all of the aforementioned sounds reasonable to you.
Let me know in the comments below what Game I should play when I have completed BotW, and any other questions you have about my experience with the system.
Thank you for watching, and good gaming!
