To get such a cheap price, Nintendo has shortened some features of Nintendo Switch Lite. The device will not have a removable Joy-Con handle, but Switch Lite will be a seamless gaming machine, similar to the old Game Boy or Nintendo DS, all in one. However, Switch Lite will still support these Joy-Con handsets via wireless connection.

Switch Lite will be a fully portable gaming device because it cannot play on the big screen like the predecessor Switch because it cannot connect to the TV via USB-C and HDMI. This is in contrast to the half-handheld, half-console version.

Nintendo Switch Lite is still capable of playing all the games in the Nintendo Switch library, but some games will have limitations and disadvantages than the original Switch.
