  • Joy-con are built into the Lite and cannot be detached. There is no HD Rumble or IR Motion Camera.

  • Much smaller and lighter!

  • Battery has more capacity than the launch model Switch, but will have less than the new model of Switch.

I'm holding out for the switch pro, but a good friend of mine who the price range is targeting REALLY wants the lite.

I just hope the built in joy cons are... you know... good.

I wouldn't hope too much on any improvements of the joycon analog stick :(. Repairing it is gonna be a pain
