I bought a switch lite. The yellow one.
But after a week of playing it, I returned it. It feels good in hands, but that's it. Nothing more.
I just felt that it is a half baked product. Barebone. It doesn't deserve the name "switch". I really tried to give it a chance. But, like I said, apart from the feeling when having it in hands... nope
The d-pad... I don't know if it was the unit I picked, but it felt so... low quality. It felt like a new 2ds xl d-pad. I played street fighter on it and out of 15 tries to pull off a dragon punch I succeeded 2 times. Many times I couldn't jump diagonally. As if it didn't register the input.
I liked the feel of buttons and joysticks, but that feeling of a potential drift occuring hovering over my head... nope
On the other hand, playing my other switch(v2) felt much better. It is a switch. Plus, it has a better battery, even though it is not a dedicated handheld. Ridiculous.

I would absolutely not recommend the switch lite. Maybe after the revision, after the potential joycon drift is dealt with. After better quality d-pad is added. And after it gets a new name, because the "switch" doesn't suit it well.

As long as we support these half finished products with our money, Nintendo will get away with it. Look at Microsoft and Sony. They don't degrade their products.

Use your common sense people, not feelings induced through hype.

Anyway, yes, like you, I'm waiting for a true portable Nintendo device.

@Woosh193
Even though the game is great and I am enjoying it a lot, I would still recommend Jedi Academy more, because it allows you to use a lightsaber right away, plus it will have a multiplayer, which, even though I never played before(bad connection back in the day in my part of the world), will probably be amazing once everybody whips their lightsabers out.

@Woosh193
It's an amazing game! Love it!
Controls never bothered me though, although I played on the pc back in the day.
But, playing with joycons in handheld is hell for me. So, I went and bought daemon x machina ones today. And it's awesome! They really nailed it with these split pad pro things! Highly recommended. Crouching in this game is bad, because it uses your left joycon press. But, after assigning it to the back button of the daemon x machins ones, it just plays so much better.

Jedi Outcast

On this site, gamers complain about this game. But the world doesn't. The world will simply play it and buy/unlock items via microtransactions. The percentage of gamers is hugely smaller to percentage of general populus.
This is the future of gaming. Mobile phones. A device which is an "all arounder". And I like it. Dedicated consoles/devices are just clutter. One device, capable of gaming, music, movies, sandwich making is what the general populus wants.

Hail Stadia! ☺

@SpicyBurrito16
Unfortunately, for me, this is what happens with games in general lately. I'm hyped, buy it, download it, play it a couple of times and then get bored.
I guess my gaming urges are slowly letting go until I completely stop playing games and just start watching "let's plays" on youtube

I think the game is great. Playability, replayability, charm, graphics. Love it. And honestly, I really don't notice the effect of microtransactions. I just play the game, and the unlocks happen by themselves.
I also love Mario Kart, but luck plays a much greater role there, regarding items during races. In CTR skill is mostly what matters(and shortcuts). The only thing I have a problem with are loading times. Other than that, love this game! Highly recommendable.

So, I bought the yelow switch lite today, despite being generally against it, because I think it is a downgraded product and doesn't deserve to be called a "Switch". But I decided to give it a chance and use it as a kind of "test" during warranty time, to see if the joycon (is it a joycon?) drift will happen. First thing after opening the box is noticing how small it is. Hmmm, it may be problematic to read text in games. Will see how that goes. Second thing... the d-pad. It feels kind of... cheap. Similar to new 2ds xl d-pad. Compared to original game boy d-pad for example, this feels... I don't know... cheap. But ok, like I said, I'll give it a chance. The most signifficant feeling I felt was that of not having a "complete" product, due to the lack of docking ability. Even now, as I am typing, the feeling is weird, like I've been cheated somehow, robbed of something, like something valuable was lost. I'm looking at it(the switch lite) and it's looking back at me. And thoughts come to my mind: do I really need this half-baked product with potential hardware fault? Especially now that I have the "revised" switch with even longer battery life? Hmmm, I don't know. Will give it some time and then decide.

I hope that soon a revision of joycons will come. The OG ones aswell as the switch lite revision.
Because it would be a shame to have the switch get bad reputation. Even the lite, which I'm not a fan of.

Started Ni no Kuni yesterday. Amazing game! I was really blown away. Maybe one of my favourites ever.
Jedi Outcast. Love it. Just the way it was back then, only without keyboard and mouse.
I am already in the future though, waiting for xenoblade chronicles remake. Played it on the 3ds and loved it. Didn't finish it. Will do that on the switch.
Thinking of buying Link's Awakening but on the fence still. How long is the game anyway?
After Ni no Kuni comes Dragon Quest XI, then xenoblade chronicles 2. I believe with these three games I could easily be busy till early to mid next year, just in time for jedi academy, xenoblade chronicles and animal crossing. Will keep an eye on other games too, but my general criterium is that the game is longer than 15 hours.

I am actually interested in this, but will wait for reviews. I hope the quality of the ring is high.
If the reviews are good, plus general public opinion is positive, then yes, I'll definitely get this.

@Skalgrim
We are already wasting time by playing regular games. Instead of being heroes in real life, we are being heroes in virtual worlds.

@BarefootBowser
It's not a switch. It doesn't switch.

So. Played a bit. Ah nostalgia. Loved it. Just the way I temember. Of course, mouse and keyboard are better but I'll do fine with switch controls. Haven't died to stormtroopers yet, even though there was a lot of them.
I actually think this is currently one of the best, if not the best old school first person shooter on the switch, for me at least.
Looking forward to academy and multiplayer.
I highly recommend this game. If we show our support, hoprfully more good star wars games on switch will follow.

@thaimbomb
I played it for single player. Back then my dial up was terrible and it was unplayable.
And loved single player.

@60frames-please
So you would recommend grid then? Thinking of buying it.

@Glassneedles
Does one really need more slots for saving? Personally I always had the autosave one, and the manual save one. Don't like clutter.

But that's just my preference

I'd love to see x-wing alliance on switch too. Man, loved that game!

Since I never played multiplayer in this game, I'm not bothered by it anyway. I don't like pvp anyway, since I'm a bad loser.
Looking forward to this game and then the academy. ☺☺

@Trmn8r
Multiplayer in academy's gonna be awesome!
I hope they make it

@mlj11
I use the same controller for my switch now. Awesome product.

@Razer
I never used xbox. Only playstation. And I can remember that I did experience drift, on the ps2, but around year 5 after the purchase. Plus the controler was used extensively. But on the ps3 and 4 no drifts.

On Switch, 6 months after the purchase - drift. Awesome

@Username77
I am an OG Switch user who dislikes strongly this "switch" lite and haven't participated in the poll.

I just simply won't buy the thing. In this case money has more power.

But to all those people who buy it, of course I wish they get the most out of their console and money. To each their own.

@MS7000
Just because og lightsaber combat this game is worth it.

In force unleashed I have a feeling I am wielding a plastic stick, rather than a lightsaber. Here you realy feel the power of lightsaber and the force.

@PhilKenSebben
I honestly enjoyed those older games. Elite forces, elite forces 2. Awesome. Story wad great(for me) and action. Loved it.
Bring it! ☺☺

I'll absolutely get this. It was and still is a great game. It is old, yes, but that was gaming back then. No hand holding.
I would actually like to see star trek elite forces on the switch too. Loved it.

At least no drift on mobile phones

I think streaming is the future. And I believe Stadia concept is the future. There will inevitably come a time where we will need consoles no more. I like that future. Limitless potential. Look at mobile phones. Before, they were dedicated devices for communication only. Now you can stream on it, listen to music on it, hell, they basically almost make sandwiches for you too ☺
Away with consoles, limitations and exclusivity of titles for specific consoles!

@sandman89
I know, right? ☺

I preordered the game. Was disappointed when I played it.
Note to self: NEVER buy switch games which don't use all of switch's modes of playing(docked, tabletop, handheld).

@ctrain
In a way, I'd also like for switch lite to flop.
It is not a "switch". It doesn't dock. They should've called it differently.
It seems I may have been spoiled by the original switch(due to its abilities), so I see this product as not worthy of the name "switch".
The general public is probably less informed about what switch lite can(cough) and can't do. But they may have seen more commercials about switch "switching" between playing docked and handheld, or people playing multiplayer with detached joycons. Or they have friends with original switch who told them how amazing switch is. And then they go and buy it, because in the store they saw this beautiful little device with the name "switch" on it... only to be disappointed because they can't dock it and because they can't share a joycon with the kids/spouses/partners to play mario party(or whatever).
Due to my OCD(noticed it in me with the switch and damn korok seeds in BOTW LOL) the name of this device is killing me. Although it is a beautiful little piece of hardware.
Recently I bought a new 2ds. But I was so freaking(would've used another word but was warned by someone here) confused because I saw these 3ds/2ds/whatever ds bulls...t (I hope I don't get a warning for this word) names that I got confused as frak(another word again) about buying anything at all. But I did buy it. New 2ds xl(wtf's wrong with nintendo and their names), but after using internet heavily to inform myself just what the difference is. It made a purchase more of a chore than enjoyment. Look at Microsoft and Sony for god's sake. Ok, forget Microsoft. Look at sony. Playstation, ps2, 3, 4, 4pro and now potential 5. Much less confusion and no freaking (cough) degradation.
Ok, enough books from me.
Regarding switch, I'll just wait. For a "pro" model, or a dedicated handheld with a "proper" name and fixed issues. So, no launch devices for me.

@spirit_flame
Let's not rush with conclusions. Give it a year or two ☺

@BarefootBowser
There is no "drift" in my quote? Ooooook?

I guess I can't read then. Whatever.

Adios

@BarefootBowser

"Switch Lite Stick Drift Repairs Will Cost More Than Original Joy-Con, In Japan At Least" - that's the title of the article.

My logic is based on that and on mentioned prices

@ShinyUmbreon
I didn't say anything dude

If the prices for fixing a "switch" lite joycon drift are already known, then it is only logical to assume that not only is nintendo aware of it but also prepared.

F... you nintendo

Bought it on day one. Performs great.
Tried it by myself. Tried online with a randome guy/gal/it. Had fun for about 20min. My online partner obviously knew what they were doing because he/she/it was collecting everything, hitting hidden items, knew how the enemies move.
I got bored after 20mins, quit and never started it again.
It is a great game, but playing alone or with somebody online was... meh. But I can imagine that having friends over and playing the game is a blast. I guess I'll have to organise a get together at my place soon. With lots of boose.

Bought myself a revised Switch and gave my older(pristine condition) to my niece. So I will be setting hers. And playing with her Mario Kart and Smash. It'll be fun! 😃

@Chimaj
And? Is it good? Performance? Glitches? Framerate? Still on the fence here

@SpaceboyScreams
I agree with you. It is inferior. But it's only because of the name "Switch" that we think it's inferior.
If they named it, idk, "advanced 3ds" or whatever, then it would be a new product and that's it.
But as "Switch", which doesn't switch, it's inferior.
Mostly what I am bothered with is the battery life. It's ok to have a dedicated handheld, but it should surpass the original "revised" Switch version regarding battery life. But, well, we all know that's not the case.......

You're right. It's inferior in every possible way. Who am I trying to fool. 😃

Nope.
I may, but highly unlikely. It doesn't switch. Plus, if I even cosider it, a big prerequisite is the absence of joycon drift.

@acachewowow
There is a tax in Germany too. I have a tv, use it, but never watch television. And still pay msndatory tax monthly for television.

@Mr_Muscle

I hear you. Plus, the complications regarding saves... since I play a lot of dark souls for example, and it doesn't have online backup, it would be very complicated to play the game on both consoles(not simultaneously of course) and keep transferring save file from one console to another. No thanks. I'm a simple guy(regarding end-consumer technology) and prefer to keep my gadgets simple

@NEStalgia
Reading your post makes me think you have a lot of experience with gaming in general and I respect that. Very well written. It sheds a new light on my still limiting beliefs and biases. I thank you for that. 😃

I will probably not get one either, even though I am tempted.

@NEStalgia
It may also be a strategy to get people to buy the "normal" switch. At least those people who will ask questions about differences. When people who are interested hear the pros and cons out, I think many would decide to invest a bit more and get a more "complete" product.

Will you be getting one?

I like the look of the "switch" lite. But that's all I like about it. I enjoy the feeling of having that new shiny thing. But that feeling lasts couple of days/weeks.
This system is simply not a logical evolution of hardware. It can't switch, and battery life is less than a "revised" switch. I don't get it. And I bet many who own a regular switch will buy this and, after a couple of weeks, not use it extensively anymore. And I don't think many people carry their switch everywhere. Yes, playing in bed... but that can be done with a normal switch.

If this "switch" lite had a docking ability and a battery life of revised edition, but with the size of a lite... well, that would be evolution. And I believe many many more people would buy it.

I would recommend people to buy a "new" revised edition instead of this.

But to each their own.

@gamer89
I think nintendo is greedier. Just hides it behind "family friendly" wording.
Sure, they make great games, but they are rarely discounted, and the ported are full priced too.
Too bad I like the switch so much that I support/feed that greed of theirs. Oh well, weak character I guess. 😃

The game does look beautiful, but it would be even better with a price adapted to what it is: a remake. Look at Crash Team Racing. It is a remake and costs less than expected(at least for me).
I'll stick to BOTW and potentisl BOTW 2, because I like that I am not able to see what awaits me. What I'm trying to see, here, in Link's awakening, you can see more of the things of what may await you, whereas in BOTW, you run(or ride) and all of a sudden, behind the hill you just climbed/walked/rode there is s guardian or whatever. Looking at this game, sure, it's an eye candy, but didn't evoke that feeling of adventure/wonder as BOTW did. Of course, I haven't played the game, so I may be wrong. But with that price tag, I probably won't.
Anyways, much fun to all of you people who will play it

@ThatNyteDaez
That does sound exciting. Would you say that the latest games would be the best representation of the pokemon franchise for the switch then? Or is "Let's go Pikachu/Eevie" better?
Also, sorry to ask a question which may have been asked already but how many pokemon will there be in the latest game? Not both, but one of them?
What I'm aiming at is longevity and fun factors.
Thanks for your time and effort. 😃
