Nintendo just revealed a new game console - here's how the new $200 Nintendo Switch Lite stacks up against the old $300 Switch

On the standard, $300 Nintendo Switch console, the touch screen is 6.2 inches. On the new Nintendo Switch Lite, the touch screen comes in at 5.5 inches.

Similarly, as seen above, the overall size of the Switch Lite's body is shorter and skinnier than the standard Switch console.

Another major selling point of the original Nintendo Switch console was its removable gamepads — the so-called "Joy-Con" controllers. A single Nintendo Switch console, with Joy-Cons, is a two-player standalone gaming system! Pretty incredible!

But the Nintendo Switch Lite is a handheld console, intended for a single person to use it as a handheld console. Thus, the Joy-Cons are built directly into the hardware.

Notably, you can pair various other Switch controllers to the Switch Lite — the Joy-Cons, for instance, or the Switch Pro Controller — which is handy if you still want to play multiplayer games like "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" on the itty-bitty screen.

For many, the version of a d-pad on the left Joy-Con was an abomination. Four directional buttons? Instead of a connected d-pad? What?!

The Nintendo Switch Lite solves that issue by putting in a standard d-pad.

Are you looking for a whopping half hour increase in battery life? You've come to the right place: The Switch Lite is exactly that. Instead of a maximum of 6.5 hours (like the original Switch), the Nintendo Switch Lite has a maximum of 7 hours.

As always, though, battery life will differ based on the game you're playing: Games with intense graphical needs will chew through your battery faster, as will playing games online. So if you're playing "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" online with the brightness up, your mileage will very likely vary.

The standard Nintendo Switch has a few different color options based primarily around swapping Joy-Cons of various colors, but the Nintendo Switch Lite is going all-in on color choice.

In addition to the three seen above — the standard colors that the Switch Lite will be offfered in — expect special editions, like the "Pokémon" one that arrives this November with the new game "Pokémon Sword & Shield."
