Know before you buy
The Switch Lite is compatible with all Nintendo Switch games that support handheld mode. You can check the back of a game's packaging or the digital store page for the 'handheld mode' icon to confirm compatibility.
No, the Nintendo Switch Lite is designed exclusively for handheld play. It does not support video output to a TV and is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch dock.
No, the controllers are built directly into the console. Because they are integrated, the system does not support games that require detached Joy-Con features, such as motion-controlled party games, unless you purchase separate controllers to sync wirelessly.
The box includes the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition console and a dedicated Nintendo Switch AC adapter for charging.
The +Control Pad on the Switch Lite provides a traditional, solid directional input, which many players find more precise and comfortable for 2D platformers and retro-style games compared to the individual directional buttons found on standard Joy-Cons.
