Today Nintendo revealed the Switch Lite, designed as a less expensive alternative to the original console/tablet hybrid. It comes in at $199. $100 less than the original unit and for that price you get a lighter, more streamlined version of the Switch, but also a few caveats. The Switch Lite is designed explicitly as a handheld: you can’t connect it to your TV, and the Joy-Con controllers are built right in. It features a “slightly” improved battery life with the display remaining the same at 720p. Although, the new model has a 5.5" touch display, compared to a 6.2" from the original. The Lite comes in yellow, grey, and turquoise as well as a special light grey Pokémon Sword and Shield edition. The Nintendo Switch Lite will launch on September 20th.
