Super Mario Wonder is so good. And yeah, I did end up getting a new Switch Lite to play it. 🕹️

@manton funny I was actually just thinking how much I have come to like that game this morning. However, I play it with my daughter so kind of extra fun but hard for me to not want to play it when we can't play together. I will continue to stay strong for now and hold off!

@manton Does the Switch Lite play all the same titles as the standard version? And what are the main differences between those devices?

@pimoore It can play almost anything. I guess if a game needs detached controllers, that won’t work. Main downside is it can’t connect to a TV.

@manton OMG! Marley and I we were both trying to do that wall jump challenge up there, it was a little stressful 😂

@Gaby Some of these levels are actually tricky, which I love. Good balance of fun and just enough challenge.

@manton Exactly! We Try the challenging ones, and if can get it, no sweat, we move on.

@manton Can't wait to play it after all the positive words I read everywhere! I'm guessing this and Spiderman 2 will be my New Year Vacation Games🤞

@buck It’s good! The full Switch is still the “best”, but it’s nice to save $100 going with the Lite if you only want something portable.

@pimoore The Switch Lite has a 5.5-inch screen, the Switch has a 6.2-Inch screen, and the Switch OLED has a 7.0-inch screen. Unlike the others, the Lite cannot be used with an external display or TV. I bought an OLED version and returned it in favor of a SteamDeck (to play PC games). Having used the regular Switch, the Switch OLED, and the StearmDeck (7-inch LCD), I think the OLED is worth it (especially if your eyesight is limited) if you want to play several Switch titles. There are some games that don’t work with the Lite. That will be noted.

@manton Do you know if Nintendo have any sense of saved state across hardware? If I've played 40% of a game on my family Switch, does a new Switch pick up where I left off? Asking for a friend tempted to get their own Switch. ;)

@iChris Yes, we went through this too. If you subscribe to Nintendo Online, it will sync your saves to the cloud, but I think you can also transfer saves between Switches if you have both with you (without a subscription).

@gebloom @manton Thank you both. I wouldn't mind the option to hook this up to a TV, though whether I'd actually bother remains to be seen. The point about eyesight is well-taken, seeing as I'm 49 and my eyes aren't what they used to be.

@manton I got the Switch Chonky.

This is the old Switch in a new CRKD Nitro Dock. Zero drift and feels great in big hands. I call them chonky but not in a fat shaming way.
