Nintendo Switch Lite Versus Original - What's The Basic Difference?

Users were so excited about the new Nintendo’s Switch Lite game console launch and finally, Nintendo has brought us a small and portable version i.e. Switch Lite.  The release will expectedly come out in September at a reasonable of $200 which is even lesser than its predecessor and it has raised the eyebrows of many of us familiar with the Nintendo game.

The new game console doesn’t have a separate joystick control and couldn’t attach to a TV. However, a question may hit your mind that if it doesn’t connect to the TV then what’s the point of launching it. So, Nintendo is making it for most of the users who prefer comfort.

Though the original version of Nintendo which was sold at a price of $300 will continue to be available along with the new version on the market. The aim of the company is to complement the users with each version and the Lite version will improve the user’s experience by offering a lightweight, compact and dedicated game console.

The new variant is expected to arrive into three colors like yellow, gray and turquoise allowing users a wide range to pick from. Its matte plastic and solid feel remind us about the recent Nintendo 2DS XL handheld. Nintendo has promised that handheld-mode-capable games will work on the new Switch Lite making it so affordable.

How did Nintendo make it so cheap? We are going to show you what's in and out in the new Switch Lite in an annotated form to let the users compare the both quite conveniently.
