Same here. I am really sold on the no-JoyCons and a real nice looking dpad. I mostly play my Switch in handheld and have grown to really dislike the JoyCons the more I use them. Taking the HDMI hook-up out is a real bummer though because my initial plan was to trade my current Switch and get this one for cheaper, but now I want to keep my Switch and just straight out buy this one too!I own a Switch and for reasons unknown to me, I want this, too.
Damn Nintendo and it's grasp on me!
Just wait for the Sword and Shield edition coming out shortly after?Why those colors... Yellow, blue, grey? I don't want to pull the race card, but...
I would guess that a majority of joycon issues stem from being slid on and off the system over time. Having a more traditional, built-in control option should alleviate most of those issues. Plus Nintendo hardware is almost always solidly designed and kid-proof.Based on the fact the biggest problem with the switch are the joycons breaking. I’m hesitant to get a switch with built in joycons.
GameStop expects SKUs by Thursday so they can take preordersThis'll make the perfect Christmas gift for my niece. Any idea when pre-orders might go up?
This will happen when the Switch can play my 3DS games. Which will be never.aka 3DS killa
Bear in mind that this version will only be able to play games that work in portable mode. Not having owned a Switch previously, I couldn't tell you how many (if any) games that is.Gamestop is giving $200 cash for a Switch today!!! Just traded mine in for $200 cash that will buy me my Lite!!
1, 2, Switch. That would be one of the more prominent titles that won't work without Joycons. Of course, they've already confirmed that you can pair Joycons as well as other bluetooth controllers to the Switch Lite. So it's not impossible, it just can't be done with what comes in the box for the Switch Lite. I imagine that will be the case for pretty much all the games. There are very, VERY few games that don't support tabletop mode.are there any other notable titles that can't be played in handheld mode?
That would be great, especially if it's to deal with the left joycon drift.There's an additional rumor that the regular switch is getting a hardware refresh internally fwiw
There is one more color,Why those colors... Yellow, blue, grey? I don't want to pull the race card, but...
I'm kinda torn... was really wanting a Switch for Link's Awakening and hoping for a suped-up version. But they're only doing a trimmed down model and refresh. Given Nintendo constant hardware revisions and changes, I'm guessing they'll do that as soon as I buy whatever model.There's an additional rumor that the regular switch is getting a hardware refresh internally fwiw
Fair point. I love my 3DS.This will happen when the Switch can play my 3DS games. Which will be never.
