Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch Lite

Nintendo has released several different Switch models, with the Switch OLED being the choice for a high quality screen and the Switch Lite being where you should turn if you want ultimate portability on the Switch platform. It’s designed exclusively for handheld play, making the Switch experience something you can do just about anywhere. This is the smallest of all of the Switch models, which makes it easy to tuck away into a backpack or travel bag,, and which makes it unobtrusive if you like to sneak some gameplay in on the morning bus ride or walk to work. Despite its size it’s still fully capable in tackling the best Switch games.

And speaking of games, that’s another reason to pounce on this deal on the Nintendo Switch Lite. It comes with a free full game download of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which we consider to be one of the best multiplayer games on Switch. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons you can create your own island and customize your character, home, and the landscape itself. The Nintendo Switch Lite is even designed to match the game a part of the bundle, as it sport Nintendo’s unique coral color and has a white leaf pattern on the back.
