Nintendo Switch Lite is available for preorder

Nintendo's smaller, cuter, more portable new console is coming September 20th, and now you can pre-order one. It comes in yellow, teal, gray orwhite with scribbles and it costs $200. Those are Amazon links; daddy gets paid if you order through them.

The Verge:

Nintendo says theres no performance difference between the two models, and you can still use the same accessories with the Lite, including Joy-Con controllers, the Switch Pro Controller, and the Pok Ball Plus. The Switch Lite still supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC, and has built-in gyro controls.

This is a fair assuption, as the whole point of calling the Switch "Switch" was that it could switch between a living-room and portable console. So calling this one the "Switch Lite" is an example of branding inverting meaning in the halls of high capitalism. They should, of course, have called this new portable-only device the Nintendo Snatch. Read the rest
