Nintendo to launch a Switch Lite console in September for $200

Nintendo will launch a version of its popular Switch console dedicated to players who really prefer gaming on the go. The Nintendo Switch Lite will launch on September 20 for $199.99, the company revealed in a statement Wednesday. It will be available in three colors: yellow, gray and turquoise. Because Nintendo is emphasizing Switch Lite as more of a straightforward handheld gaming experience, it will drop key features of the standard Switch including a video output to play on a TV, and detachable controllers. All games supporting handheld mode will be compatible with Switch Lite, Nintendo says.
