Nintendo Switch Lite to be released in September

Nintendo have revealed plans to drop a compact version of its popular Nintendo Switch console this fall.

Announced yesterday, the Nintendo Switch Lite will hit store shelves on September 20 for the price of $200. Unlike the normal Switch, this one features built in controllers rather than the Joy Con controllers. The lite version also features a smaller screen but a longer battery life. Because this is a condensed version, there’s no way to dock it to the TV or enable tabletop mode.

Pre-orders for the console, which will be released in yellow, grey, and turquoise, will go live soon. If you’re not feeling those colors, a special Pokemon Sword & Shield edition featuring Zacian and Zamazenta will be released on November 8. You can sign up at Gamestop to know when pre-orders go live.

Since 2009, MP3s and NPCs owner Terrance Pryor has written about music, conventions, cosplay, and video games for publications such as AXS, Examiner, Fake Walls, and Ranker. Based out of Los Angeles, the former rock concert promoter/radio host can be seen talking about rock music on AXS TV’s Music’s Greatest Mysteries and discussing music and whatever else on their Black Man Talks Rock channel on YouTube.
