Nintendo Switch Lite
Think of it as the "Go Portable" version of the Switch, but without the detachable Joy-Cons. It's perfect for those who love gaming on the go and don't mind playing solo. It's like a dedicated handheld console with a touchscreen, but with a library of games that can also be played on the big screen.
