The Nintendo Switch Lite hits store shelves on Septemalongside the launch of The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake.
And like the new original Switch model, it has improved battery life. That said, there are some benefits to the upcoming Lite model it sports a traditional directional pad. According to Nintendo's product page, it will launch in mid-August in the US. While it isn't the substantial mid-generation upgrade that many have been eagerly anticipating, what it does offer in extended battery life makes it well worth considering for those seeking the full Switch experience but without needing to plug it in quite so often. The company gave us an additional surprise in the form of yet another new Switch model-which is essentially identical to the original model but with better battery life. It was only a week ago that Nintendo surprised Switch owners with the handheld-only Switch Lite.
