Cheapest Nintendo Switch Lite deals - FAQs

Is the Nintendo Switch Lite cheaper?

The typical answer is yes, the Nintendo Switch Lite is overall much more affordable than the base Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch OLED, even at retail price. This also means that when discounted or sold as part of a bundle, it can be easy to grab a Nintendo Switch Lite at very affordable rates.

Is it worth getting a Nintendo Switch Lite?

It depends on how you typically like to play. The Nintendo Switch Lite is a handheld-only option, and doesn't come with a dock for TV play. But if you find yourself gaming on the go often, then the Nintendo Switch Lite is an excellent investment over the other two consoles in the Switch family.
