All the features of the new Nintendo Switch model, which will focus on portable mode and arrive on September 20 at a price of $ 199.
Nintendo Switch Lite is now official. That is the name finally chosen for the first redesign of Nintendo Switch, which will arrive on September 20 at a price of $ 199. If you had not yet made the leap to the platform and intended to do so, at FreeGameTips we have prepared a quick comparison with all aspects that differentiate the new model from the original, so you can see which Nintendo Switch suits you best.
Size
The Nintendo Switch measures are currently 109mm x 239mm x 13.9mm (at least as long as we have the Joy-Con attached). The jump to Nintendo Switch Lite means moving on to the following: 91.1mm x 208mm x 13.9mm. According to these data, the new model is 28% smaller than the original.
Screen size
Although both models have a capacitive touch screen whose maximum resolution is 1280 x 720p, the original Nintendo Switch has a 6.2-inch LCD screen and Nintendo Switch Lite has a slightly smaller, 5.5-inch LCD screen inches
Weight
The original Nintendo Switch weighs 398 grams with the Joy-Con attached and 297 grams without them. Nintendo Switch Lite weighs only 275 grams (and that has the integrated Joy-Con and cannot be separated). That is, the new model weighs 31% less than the first.
Controls without vibration or motion sensor
Nintendo Switch went on the market with a pair of interchangeable Joy-Con that had the so-called “HD vibration” and an infrared motion camera that will use games like No More Heroes 3. In the case of Nintendo Switch Lite, both Joy- With come integrated and the console does not have any of those elements. Goodbye therefore to HD vibration and possible motion controls. In return the command brings a new crosshead, one of the most made demands by arcade players and fighting games.
For use in Portable Mode only
While the original console can be used on any TV and in portable mode, Nintendo Switch Lite focuses solely and exclusively on portable mode. This will allow you to get rid of the HDMI cable and the dock of the first Nintendo Switch. The new model is NOT compatible with the base of the original and can NOT be introduced into it.

Battery duration
Although no specific features and data have been offered, Nintendo says the battery is slightly higher on Nintendo Switch Lite. With the original we could play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for up to three hours in a row with a single charge. With the new model that number rises to four hours.
Even so, the company maintains the same description for both models “the battery can exceed six hours, but it will depend on the program being used and the conditions of use”.

Compatible games
All games and applications that could be used in portable mode on the original Nintendo Switch will be compatible with the new model.

How do I play in cooperative mode?
Now that we cannot separate the Joy-Con and distribute them to cooperatively play titles like Super Mario Party we will have to get a second pair of Joy-Con and connect them wirelessly to the console to play in coop.
