Topic: Can you download games onto Nintendo Switch Lite?

I apologize in advance. I am a total newbie here but I need some help finding an answer. For some reason I am finding it difficult to find out if you can download games on Switch Lite like you can for the regular Switch? The games I am particuarly interested are:

-Splatoon 2
-Pokémon Sword
-Zelda: Breath of the Wild
-Animal Crossing: New Horizons
-Super Mario Odyssey
-Abzu
-Stardew Valley

Any and all help is appreciated....I have to know the answer prior to purchasing this platform. Thank you so much.

@jennypennies : Of course you can. You can do virtually anything with the Switch Lite that you can do with a regular Switch (apart from docking to a TV, obviously), however, caution should be exercised when purchasing games that may not support handheld mode. You shouldn't experience any issues with the games you have listed.

A Switch Lite is just a Switch without the ability to play on TV. With that said, you can download games and play physical Switch cards on it.

If you decide download games, or even buy physical games, I recommend buying a Micro SD card as the Switch only has 32GB on the system. Having a decent sized Micro SD card is useful for both game updates and downloads.

Games can be downloaded from the eShop, but some stores like Amazon sell download codes. Usually you enter the download code on the eShop and it download to the system.

Hope this info helps, maybe others can chime in on the subject and help more.

@jennypennies Eshop is the orange shopping bag icon on the bottom of the Switch home screen. You should be able to open the eshop. You can buy with a credit card or paypal.

Side note, eshop region is dictated by the region you select in your account on https://accounts.nintendo.com.

Thank you all so much for your help!!! 🤗
