Launched earlier this year, the Nintendo Switch Lite is drastically different from its predecessor and should not be viewed as a replacement for the original model. Instead, the Switch Lite serves as a cheaper alternative to the Nintendo Switch that is strictly a handheld-only variant. Retailing for $100 less, the $200 Lite is a single unit with integrated Joy-Cons built-in and a regular D-Pad instead of the separate four directional pads.

With the money saved,you can take advantage of other great Switch deals, as several of the console’s popular titles are also available at discounted prices. Highlights include Pokemon Sword/Shield for $48 and Astral Chain for $50.

In addition to this deal, Walmart also has its own Nintendo Switch Lite deal currently available. While the retailer is not discounting the console itself, you can purchase the system and a carrying case for only $200. If you’re looking to buy a standard Nintendo Switch console, you are also in luck. For $300, Best Buy currently has a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes the console, a $30 gift card, plus a free copy of Starlink: Battle for Atlas.

Nintendo Switch’s successor must overcome one major challenge

The latest news on the Nintendo Switch’s successor, colloquially referred to as the Nintendo Switch 2, excites me. Unfortunately, it also demonstrates a major hurdle that Nintendo Switch 2 will have to overcome.

While Nintendo has yet to go all out in terms ofexplaining what the Switch 2 is yet (or if that’s even its name), we did learn in the company’s latest financial results that the console will be backward compatible with Nintendo Switch titles. That’s a win for not just Switch 2, but game preservation and the Nintendo Account system. Although backward compatibility is a net win for Nintendo’s next system, as it was for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, it reminds me that Nintendo must succeed where PlayStation and Xbox have struggled this generation.

Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 have been circulating for years. Whispers of the next-gen Nintendo console first started when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was initially teased in 2019, then gained steam when the Switch OLED launched in 2021. Now that Nintendo has properly confirmed that it's working on a new console, rumors have only gotten more frequent. We've even hit the point where we're seeing more credible photos and spec leaks trickle out.

There's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console -- it has a unique and impressive game library (with more upcoming games slated for this year), the number of features included with Nintendo Switch Online is constantly improving, and it's still our favorite portable console -- but it isn't without its flaws. There's enough room for improvement to warrant an entirely new console in the near future.
