WHY GAMESTOP IS EXCITED FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH LITE

The smaller, lighter version of everyone’s favorite handheld gaming system, the Nintendo Switch, is available now. If you’re looking for the perfect travel-sized Nintendo console, then look no further than the Nintendo Switch Lite.

This system has all the fun and power of the original Switch, but instead of removable Joy-Cons, it has a built-in, sleek and sturdy control pad. While the Switch Lite will not plug into a dock or connect to the TV, you can still enjoy your favorite games on the go right on the screen. Currently priced at $199.99, it is less expensive than the original Nintendo Switch—which makes it more affordable for those folks that don’t have $299.99 to drop on a new console.

While it doesn’t have all the connectivity options that the original Switch has, it does come in three great new colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. With a Nintendo Switch membership, Switch and Switch Lite users can face off anywhere with up to eight systems being able to link together. Play some of your favorites like Super Smash Bros, The Legends of Zelda, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Overwatch: The Legendary Edition on the go, with your friends, anywhere, anytime.

If you’re the kind of person that commutes a lot and doesn’t want to drag a big bulky console with you through airports and hotel rooms, this is the perfect system for you. The lightweight design and ease of use make this a great addition to any gamer's arsenal.

Play all your favorite games solo, or connect with up to seven of your buddies to get the ultimate gaming experience. Either way, this system is the perfect gift for the gamer in your life…or yourself. Express your personal style with one of the three color combos. The battery life allows for 3-7 hours of fun on a single charge, making it the perfect gaming option for long – or short – road trips.
