villa4europe Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Same as pretty much all of them I tend to start playing with unlimited money just so i can learn the ropes, then i build one, get bored, start a new one, get bored, start a new one I must have put about 30-40 hours in to skylines without actually doing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then I guess that's a legitimate reason why you might go for the Lite, if you genuinely use it as a handheld a lot. Other than that I don't see much argument against just saving up and getting the full version. I'd rather just save £200 a get a good power bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard Switch is also getting an upgrade on battery life, so that's not really a reason to go for the Lite either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for kids and people who purely want a handheld. It could probably do with being a bit cheaper, as could the standard machine to be honest, but I can see why they've kept it to the level they have.

Yeah I get all that, it's just a EUR70 difference between this and the full switch, which is still a handheld anyway, doesn't seem like a big enough gap to justify only getting the lite. I guess if you know you will never EVER use it on a TV then it makes sense. But even then I think I'd still go for the full version to have the option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) It's a £80 difference but still, the point stands. The Lite would sell like hot cakes at £100 less than the switch, as it stands why in gods name would anyone buy it? We all know it's a £150 machine, the sweet spot is £175 I reckon. £200?! Nah. It does have a purpose, for those who travel, kids, handheld only players etc... it'll be more sturdy, higher ppi screen, less moving parts to break. All of which does appeal but that price difference means you'd just go for the normal switch everytime. You'd be mad not to.

The_Rev Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Don't underestimate the amount of people who will be buying a Switch as a gift for somebody else, especially in the couple of months after the Lite launches. The cheap one makes a lot of sense, it's just not aimed at the democratic who post on videogame forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 So my switch is definitely broken. I can't connect to the internet, and the drifting is worse. I'll wait for the rumoured switch HD and get that as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t think we will see a pro version. More likely a completely new revision in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm tempted to do another hard reset and then just use my wireless Pro controller (as the drifting joycons is the main issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I ordered Harry Potter Lego for my Switch the other day from amazon and I got sent an italian copy. It shouldn't really matter, I know it'll work fine and if it was a PS4 game I wouldn't care but because I tend to trade in and buy second hand games at CEX anyway so it's a bit more disposable. I don't know what it is about Nintendo though, I like to collect, keep and look after my Nintendo stuff a bit better. Is it picky to return it/exchange it for a good old, British copy? #notxenophobic #ivotedremain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
