Nintendo: presented the new Nintendo Switch Lite

During the day today Nintendo officially presented its new Nintendo Switch Lite. The latest console from the Japanese company becomes even smaller and more portable than ever.

According to the presentation, the new version of the console will be available as early as September 20 in three different colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. All users will also be able to purchase a set consisting of a case and a protective film for the screen as a bundle with the console. Below is an excerpt from the official press release:

"Nintendo Switch, the top of the range of the family, arrived on the market in March 2017 and offers three different game modes: the TV mode, in which the console is inserted into the base for the Nintendo Switch, the table mode, ideal for playing in cooperative or competitive mode by sharing Joy-Con controllers, and portable mode. The console includes gray or neon red and neon blue Joy-Con controllers.

Nintendo Switch Lite has built-in controls and is more compact than the top-of-the-range Nintendo Switch version. It does not have the built-in stand for tabletop mode and, being a portable console, it does not transmit the image to the TV. For this reason, the package does not include a cradle or HDMI cable. A full list of the differences between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite is available on the Nintendo Switch official site.

With the new console, it is possible to play all Nintendo Switch titles compatible with handheld mode *, although there will be restrictions for some of them. On the back of the games packaging and on their pages in the Nintendo eShop and on the official Nintendo website, you can find information on which functions and modes are compatible with the various games ”.

In addition to the three colors already mentioned, from 8 November Nintendo Switch Lite will be available in the Nintendo Switch Lite version of the special edition Zacian & Zamazenta **, with elegant cyan and magenta buttons and illustrations of the two new legendary Pokémon of Sword Pokémon e Shield Pokémon. In these new titles from the main Pokémon series, players will embark on a new adventure in the Galar region, where they will be able to capture, battle and trade newly discovered Pokémon and unravel the mystery of the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta. The Zacian & Zamazenta special edition Nintendo Switch Lite console will be available while stocks last. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be available from November 15th for all consoles of the Nintendo Switch family.
