Nintendo Switch Lite
Nintendo Switch Lite can play the games in the Nintendo Switch library that support handheld mode.
For games that do not support handheld mode, players can wirelessly connect compatible controllers (sold separately) to Nintendo Switch Lite. If using separate Joy-Con controllers, users will need to have a device to recharge them, such as the Joy-Con charging grip.
To find play mode compatibility information for specific games, please refer to the product packaging or Nintendo eShop.
Just look for the “handheld mode” icon:
