Nintendo Switch Lite confirmed with price and release date
Nintendo has confirmed the Switch Lite once and for all. It will be released in September at a reduced price and is designed for the portable game.
After a long time of leaks and rumors, the speculated Nintendo Switch Lite has been confirmed. Many expected this model because that way they would present a more accessible entry range for users who want something cheaper but with fewer features.
Switch Lite is a full-fledged laptop
According to the data that Nintendo has offered, the Nintendo Switch Lite will arrive on September 20 for about 200 euros. Being portable and cheaper, it will have several differences compared to the normal Nintendo Switch, such as the fact that the Joy-Con cannot be separated from the console and become two controllers, nor can it use motion control or the IR sensor, and it cannot be connected to a dock to play on a television.
Basically, Nintendo Switch Lite is the new Nintendo laptop that uses almost the entire Nintendo catalog, with powerful titles such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Pokémon Sword and Shield. Some games will be limited such as certain control options Super Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu, the entire Nintendo Labo catalog, the World ends With You, the Just Dance deliveries ...
What need would Nintendo have to release a portable version of its most successful console? Well, to get more sales by making it cheaper and also personal, for families and young people. With the long-awaited Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield blockbusters just around the corner, a cheaper model could help sales pick up this holiday season. It will also be a good replacement model in case of accidents. All in order to increase the number of users of the console and attract more sales and developers.
