Following earlier reports that two new Switch models were on the way, Nintendo has finally confirmed one of those: the new portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite.
According to Nintendo, the Switch Lite is a “compact, lightweight console that’s dedicated to handheld play”. By dropping the original model’s detachable Joy-Cons, the new offering is both slimmer, lighter, and features slightly better battery life.
It’s due to arrive in stores on 20th September, and will cost $199.99 USD (around £159.76), compared to the original’s $299.99 USD price tag (around £239.68).
