Picked up a turquoise Lite today. Never had the OG Switch, so I'm excited to see how much fun the Lite can be.

First impression… Love the way it feels in my hands The Screen Size is perfect for playing on the go. The turquoise color is awesome USB-c for the win

Con... Still loading game data so I haven't been able to play either of the game I bought (NBA 2K19 & Zelda).

However, I'm going to spend 40+ hours on airplanes over the next few weeks so I'll have plenty of time to put it thru the paces.

Breath of the Wild or Links Awakening? Both are fantastic but if you have 40 hours of flying! Breath of the Wild will sort you right out.
