Switch Lite review — The best handheld since Game Boy Advance SP

It took almost two full years, but Nintendo has released a revision for its Switch console. The Switch Lite is available now for $200, and it reduces the mass and profile of the original system to make something that works as a dedicated handheld. And now, it’s time for me to review the Nintendo Switch Lite.

In making the transition from hybrid to handheld, Nintendo left out some of the defining features of the platform. The Switch Lite doesn’t connect to a television with a dock. The Joy-Con controllers do not slide off. The Lite doesn’t even have a kickstand, so say goodbye to playing games with beautiful people on an airplane.
