Check Out The First Photos Of Nintendo 's Switch Lite In The Wild

Gamescom's roundup of game news has been just waiting for you from Europe's – and the world's – biggest gaming convention. We've had news on the big games coming out before the end of the year, but perhaps the most exciting thing is Nintendo's new Switch Lite console.

The device was announced recently as a switch to the family. It's smaller and lighter than a regular Switch – but it's also cheaper. At $ 200 / £ 200 / AU $ 330, it represents a much more affordable option for people wanting to buy their first switch. It does, however, lack the more expensive model's removable Joy-Cons, and you can not dock this version.

While we were not allowed to play on a Switch Lite, we saw a different color – gray, yellow, and turquoise – running in front of us you to get a proper up-close-and-personal look at the new device.

For more on the slimmer version of the Nintendo's hybrid console, check out our roundup of your Switch Lite questions answered. If you plan to pick up a Switch Lite, you may need a standalone controller so you can play from the comfort of your couch. Luckily, we've got a roundup of the best Switch controllers you can buy, plus a complete Nintendo Switch Lite pre-order guide.

In the meantime, you'll be happy with the photos on the console launches on September 20.
