Nintendo Switch Lite Announced

Nintendo just announced the "Nintendo Switch Lite". You can watch the presentation on Youtube.

It's a solid handheld, has a D-Pad, offers a longer battery life and costs exactly 100$ less than the Nintendo Switch currently. It also will be released September 20th, same day as The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. This heavily smells like a bundle and I won't be surprised, if they offer a special golden Zelda Edition here... Which would be a slap in the face for me, since I have been waiting for such a bundle for over two years now and this isn't exactly what I was hoping for.

Overall the Nintendo Switch Lite looks like an interesting deal and it's certainly a smart move by Nintendo to do this, however, it has one major downside: you cannot connect it to a TV, even if you buy a dock separately. If you could, I would gladly get one in a Zelda design...

It's also possible that Link's Awakening is getting such a bundle in a different form, so not necessarily a gold Zelda Edition console. It could be a Nintendo Switch Lite that looks like a GameBoy for example. This would be awesome, but not necessarily something I'd purchase.

Well, for the real deal I will probably have to keep waiting until the next game, either Skyward Sword HD or Breath of the Wild 2, and a potential New Nintendo Switch / Switch Pro / Switch Plus. Rumors for the latter always went hand in hand with the Nintendo Switch Lite, so you should expect an improved Switch model in the next years.
