Nintendo Switch Lite compatible with games that support handheld mode, including Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu, Let’s Go Eevee, Pokkén Tournament DX, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokémon Sword and Shield

In a video today, Nintendo introduced Nintendo Switch Lite, a device designed specifically to play Nintendo Switch games in handheld mode. The Nintendo Switch Lite system launches Sept. 20 at a suggested retail price of $199.99 and will be available in three different colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. A carrying case and screen protector set for Nintendo Switch Lite will also be available.

Nintendo Switch Lite has integrated controls and is smaller than the flagship version of Nintendo Switch. It has no kickstand and, as a dedicated handheld gaming device, does not support video output to a TV. Therefore, it does not come with a dock or HDMI cable.

The new device can play all games in the robust Nintendo Switch library that support handheld mode*, although some games will have restrictions. Compatible game modes will be listed on the back of game packaging and in Nintendo eShop. Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite owners can get together to enjoy compatible titles like Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu, Let’s Go Eevee, Pokkén Tournament DX, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokémon Sword and Shield.

* For games that support tabletop mode, players can wirelessly connect Joy-Con controllers (sold separately) to Nintendo Switch Lite. In these cases, users will need to have a device to recharge Joy-Con controllers, such as the Joy-Con Charging Grip.
