The Nintendo Switch Lite system launches Sept. 20 at a suggested retail price of $259.99 CAD and will be available in three different colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. A carrying case and screen protector set for Nintendo Switch Lite will also be available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdding Nintendo Switch Lite to the lineup gives gamers more color and price point options,\u201d said Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser. \u201cNow consumers can choose the system that best suits how they like to play their favorite Nintendo Switch games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The flagship Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017 and offers three different play modes: playing in TV mode by placing the system into a Nintendo Switch dock, playing cooperatively or competitively in tabletop mode by sharing Joy-Con controllers and playing in handheld mode. The system comes with either Gray Joy-Con controllers or Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Con controllers.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo Switch Lite has integrated controls and is smaller than the flagship version of Nintendo Switch. It has no kickstand and, as a dedicated handheld gaming device, does not support video output to a TV. Therefore, it does not come with a dock or HDMI cable.<\/p>\n<p>For a full list of the differences between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/switch\/compare\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/switch\/compare<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new device can play all games in the robust Nintendo Switch library that support handheld mode, although some games will have restrictions. Compatible game modes will be listed on the back of game packaging and in Nintendo eShop.<\/p>\n<p>A special Pok\u00e9mon-themed version of the newly announced Nintendo Switch Lite system will be available in North America starting November 8th. The Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian and Zamazenta Edition features stylish cyan and magenta buttons and illustrations of the two new Legendary Pok\u00e9mon from the upcoming Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Pok\u00e9mon Shield games for Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkainarts.com\/gamers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/845x480_WhatsNew_H-Rocket_Orion_V2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.darkainarts.com\/gamers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/845x480_WhatsNew_H-Rocket_Orion_V2-600x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"341\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.darkainarts.com\/gamers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/845x480_WhatsNew_H-Rocket_Orion_V2-600x341.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.darkainarts.com\/gamers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/845x480_WhatsNew_H-Rocket_Orion_V2-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.darkainarts.com\/gamers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/845x480_WhatsNew_H-Rocket_Orion_V2.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59yuBFRSZdg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a video today, Nintendo introduced Nintendo Switch Lite, a device designed specifically to play Nintendo Switch games in handheld mode.
