Nintendos Switch Lite is on sale for $160 today only

For today only, Woot has discounted the Nintendo Switch Lite. With a 20 percent reduction, the $200 handheld is currently $160. Thats one of the best deals weve seen on the entry-level Switch. Note that the promotion is only available while supplies last. As of the writing of this story, the blue model is out of stock, leaving only the turquoise, yellow and coral ones available to purchase.

The Switch Lite is ideal for those who plan to use the console exclusively for handheld gaming since it doesnt feature a TV output. Engadget awarded the system a score of 90 in 2019. Its lighter and more comfortable to hold than the standard and OLED models thanks to a design thats more compact and does away with detachable Joy-Cons. A proper d-pad also makes the Switch Lite better for playing 2D games. The display isnt as vivid as the one on the OLED model, but its about as bright as the LCD screen on the standard variant. Even with the Switch Lites shortcomings, its a great system and one of the most affordable ways you can access Nintendos compelling library of first-party games.
