Nintendo Switch Lite deals are offering some excellent bundles in the UK right now, but we're also seeing a good stock supply in the US as well. That means the cheaper, handheld-only Nintendo Switch console is readily available on both sides of the ocean this week.

Release date: 20 September 2019. The console for gamers on the go, Nintendo Switch Lite is a compact, lightweight addition to the Nintendo Switch family, with integrated controls. Nintendo Switch Lite supports all Nintendo Switch software that can be played in handheld mode. It's great for people who have lots of opportunities to play outside, and also for anyone who wants to play online. Argos has cut the price of the Nintendo Switch Lite for just £199 via its eBay store but users of deals website HotUKDeals have found you can get a further 10% off using the code PRISTINE.

If you're checking out all the latest Nintendo Switch Lite sales from the UK, you can take advantage of one of the best offers we've seen in a while. AO is offering a Nintendo Switch Lite with Animal Crossing: New Horizons and a Nintendo Switch Online membership for just £199.99 right now. That's the price of the console by itself, which means the free game and subscription are adding some spectacular value.

Nintendo Switch Lite deals offer up some of the cheapest ways to get your hands on Nintendo's latest games, with the handheld only console coming in significantly cheaper than the main device. Not only that, but you'll find Nintendo Switch Lite bundles regularly skim some of the cash off that final price when you grab a game or accessory alongside the console as well.

The cheaper handheld console is perfectly designed for smaller hands, and for those who want to enjoy the latest offerings from Nintendo for far less. The $199 / £199 cost comes in significantly cheaper than even the best Nintendo Switch deals, and once you add Nintendo Switch Lite bundles into the mix you'll find yourself saving some serious cash on top of that already low price point.

Just below you'll find all the cheapest Nintendo Switch Lite prices from around the web, in each of the four main colors. However, scroll just a little further and you'll find our handpicked selection of the best Nintendo Switch Lite bundle deals available right now.

When to find good Nintendo Switch Lite bundles

Nintendo Switch Lite bundles will pick up around key gifting periods of the year. That means you'll see the console on sale far more often around November and December, with stock potentially running dry into January. However, there are other periods of the year in which you'll find some great Nintendo Switch Lite sales.

With big new game releases, Nintendo will typically bundle their latest game with Nintendo Switch Lite consoles to try and shift a few extra units. That means you'll be on the lookout for Nintendo Switch Lite sales around these key dates.

What is the Nintendo Switch Lite price?

The MSRP Nintendo Switch Lite price in the US is $199.99. In the UK the RRP is down as £199.99. And in Australia the Switch Lite costs $329.99. So make sure you're not paying any more than these prices unless you're getting some additional extras like extra games or accessories.

What colors does the Nintendo Switch Lite come in?

Most stores are stocking the Nintendo Switch Lite in coral pink, yellow, gray or turquoise. We've shown the prices for each of these versions above. These are the main colors but Pokemon fans have one extra option to consider.

The Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian and Zamazenta Edition was released in November to celebrate the upcoming release of the Pokemon Sword and Shield titles. This console is a lighter gray and has blue controls on the left and red on the right. There's an etched illustration of the characters on the back too. It's important to remember that this version does not come with either game.

How is the Nintendo Switch Lite different?

The Nintendo Switch Lite cannot be used to play games on your TV. It does not come with a dock and you can't plug an HDMI cable into it from your TV. There are no plans to release a separate dock to make it compatible with TVs and you can not use the dock that comes with an original Nintendo Switch either.

The screen on the Switch light measures 5.5-inches across compared to 6.2-inches on the full-sized Nintendo Switch - both display a 720p resolution.

A small number of Nintendo Switch games are not fully playable in handheld mode so they won't work properly with a Switch Lite either unless you use an additional controller like the Pro controller or a pair of Joy-Cons (all sold separately). So anything that needs to be played in docked or tabletop mode is going to be a bit of a pain. We're mainly talking about titles like Mario Party, 1-2 Switch, Fitness Boxing, Just Dance and Nintendo Labo.

Until you pick up some Joy-Cons you'll also have zero access to any sort of optional motion controls either which is a shame for using weapons like bows and swords in games like Zelda or Skyrim. Once you buy those additional Joy-Con controllers, you're very close to the price of a regular Nintendo Switch which comes with a pair anyways. There are no rumble vibration features in the Lite either. So far, we haven't seen any Nintendo Switch Lite bundles offering these controllers in with the price but if we hear of any you can bet they'll be right here.

Why is the Nintendo Switch Lite cheaper?

The Nintendo Switch Lite features a smaller screen than the regular Nintendo Switch and does not feature removable controllers. The biggest difference though is that you can not play it on a TV as there's no way to 'dock it'. So while you're making a saving, it might be worth opting for the full-size version instead if you want to play games on the TV too at some point.

Should I buy a regular Nintendo Switch or a Lite?

The Nintendo Switch Lite would arguably be a great purchase for families that already own a regular Nintendo Switch and multiple people regularly want to play at once (but perhaps a different game). And if some of them generally play in handheld mode away from the TV most of the time already then even better. You can also use your regular Switches controllers to reclaim the motion controls on games too.

If you don't own a Switch already, the lower price point is very tempting, but we think you'd be missing out on some of the Switch's best features by removing motion controls from games. And once you've paid for a set of controllers too you've basically paid the price of a regular Switch.

Not being able to play games on your TV is really going to hurt when you fire up gorgeous classics like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Witcher 3 or Super Mario Odyssey. These are titles that are much more enjoyable on the big screen at home.
