In way, these new wireless controllers from 8BitDo kind of defeat the purpose of the Switch Lite.
So, why do I kind of want them? Honestly, I&m pretty enamored with the new, more portable version of Nintendo wildly successful console.
As I noted in a recent review, it exactly the take on the Switch I was looking for as a TV-less frequent traveler.Nintendo Switch Lite reviewThe idea of an accessory that roughly half the size of the Lite kind of goes against the whole bit about &built-in& Joy-Cons.
Also, the Lite doesn''t have a built-in kickstand, so you&re either finding a way to prop it up or playing it flat on a table.
Neither scenario is ideal, and yet here I am, thinking about shelling out $25 to augment my setup with a matching turquoise version.Life comes at you fast.The controller actually sports two D-pads, rather than sticks, which is nice for all of those NES and SNES titles that have been added to Switch Online.
Honestly, my Switch playing has been like 95 percent A Link to the Past since I started testing the Lite.
The controller is up for pre-order now through Amazon and set to start shipping at the end of October — plenty of time for me to come to my senses.
