Smaller, lighter, longer-lasting – can Switch’s new model deliver joy without Joy-Cons?

Travel Lite

Nintendo has never held much truck with convention, but it’s still surprising to witness a hardware announcement accompanied by a trailer illustrating what it can’t do. So it was with the debut of the Switch Lite, a more compact, lightweight revision dedicated to handheld play – and which, as demonstrated by Yoshiaki Koizumi, fits within the inside pocket of a suit jacket. It will come in at $100 cheaper than its older sibling, thanks to a host of costcutting changes. There’s no dock or HDMI cable, since Switch Lite won’t connect to your TV. Controls are integrated, so no more Joy-Cons – which in turn means no IR Camera. You can say goodbye to HD Rumble, too, while the absence of a kickstand rules out tabletop mode. Here, in other words, is a Switch that no longer lives up to its name.

Watch Towers Of Aghasba in action and it feels vast. Given your activities range from deepwater dives to climbing up cliffs or lumbering beasts, and from nurturing plants or building settlements to pinging arrows at the undead, it’s hard to get a bead on the game’s limits.
