During Prime Day 2024, the best Switch Lite deal is not available on Amazon. Walmart is offering Nintendo Switch Lite (Timmy and Tommy Aloha Edition) console for just $159. Normally priced at $199, this was a great deal since it included the full Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. This special edition Switch Lite was originally part of a larger Walmart sale that competed with Amazon Prime Day. That sale has now ended, but this deal is one of the few that are still available, and we’re pretty sure Amazon won’t match it.

The Switch Lite retails for $100 less than the original Switch and $150 less than the Switch OLED. It’s compatible with most Nintendo Switch games and runs on the same hardware, so performance is identical. The three main drawbacks of the Switch Lite are (1) the controllers aren’t detachable, (2) the console can’t be docked and played on a TV, and (3) the display is smaller (5.5” vs. 6.2” on the Switch and 7” on the Switch OLED).
If you plan on using your Switch purely as a handheld console, you might be better off just buying the Switch Lite. While the controls aren’t detachable, the Switch Lite does support Bluetooth wireless technology, so you could always buy another pair of Joy-Cons, a Switch Pro Controller, or a compatible third-party wireless Switch controller and still play without a cable.
If you like cozy games like Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, or Minecraft, you’ll probably love Animal Crossing. It’s clear that Nintendo has put a lot of love into this first-party title, and it’s easily one of the best—and most relaxing—games on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a great choice for gamers of all ages, even kids. Check out our glowing IGN review for more details.
