Yeah, I was originally going to include those in the poll but just left it for the basic colour choicesAre we not including the special editions?
If not, it's definitely dark blue. Imma judge anyone who says yellow because it looks like pee.
I... I don't understand people. Dark blue is the most boring.Are we not including the special editions?

But...how much work is...taking it out of the dock?I voted Turquoise. I always liked that color.
Of course this thread pops up right as I once again ponder buying a Switch Lite just so I can comfortably play some Switch games in bed while leaving my launch Switch docked. The temptation to make an unnecessary purchase...
If you find the every so slight creaking of joy-con annoying then a Switch Lite is a big upgrade, given the controls are part of the system itself. Unfortunately once the OLED came out that made the Lite something of a downgrade.But...how much work is...taking it out of the dock?
The thought of managing saves between 2 switches seems just waaay more hustle... And needs a subscription.

I get the appeal of the switch lite, that's not what's confusing meIf you find the every so slight creaking of joy-con annoying then a Switch Lite is a big upgrade, given the controls are part of the system itself. Unfortunately once the OLED came out that made the Lite something of a downgrade.
But even with the subscription, when I cared for it I regularly checked and saw that the backup is behind. It will never be a "ok it's instantly synced" case, so I would need to check and redownload it. Overall way longer then just taking it out of the dock. It would annoy me to hell and back.I've basically never taken my Switch out of its dock since March 3, 2017. I would not be shocked if the battery life is shot at this point. As Belinda Blumenthal mentions below, I'd prefer built-in controls over the Joy-Con attachments. I also already have the subscription and will probably indefinitely. I also find the size of the Switch Lite much more appealing to hold from a portable perspective. What I'm honestly looking for is to replicate the nostalgic experience of playing GBA and DS, and the upcoming release of Ace Attorney Investigations has me thinking of those DS Ace Attorney play sessions 20 years ago. I'd probably play some games exclusively on my Lite (the Ace Attorney games, various 2D platformers, maybe the upcoming Mario & Luigi, etc.) and other games exclusively on my docked Switch. I don't know that I'd switch between them often.
But, ALL of that said, as I think we both know, it's kind of an absurd purchase. That's exactly why I've been tempted but haven't bought one for almost 5 years now. Just an urge I deal with every now and then.
Huh, that surprises me. On my current Switch, I noticed it backs up my saves to the cloud almost immediately after I close the game.I get the appeal of the switch lite, that's not what's confusing me

If anybody does this, I would really like to know how annoying it really is
And does it then synchs them right away to the other one?Huh, that surprises me. On my current Switch, I noticed it backs up my saves to the cloud almost immediately after I close the game.
Unsure about the other one. That's what I can't check. Seems like you had a frustrating experience, though, and that sucks. Hopefully they've improved that for people with multiple consoles.And does it then synchs them right away to the other one?
But goody maybe they improved it (last time I was annoyed is 2-3 years ago), should check it again.
Then again, I sporadically have an subscription, most of the time I don't have one.
It wasn't that much of a problem (just a single model), was just annoying that the upload took some time and manual triggering sometimes when backups was the reason back then for the subscription (my fan was dying, so I was worried to lose my saves... By now I replaced it and it's fine)Unsure about the other one. That's what I can't check. Seems like you had a frustrating experience, though, and that sucks.

The yellow doesn't remind me of pee whatsoever. Pee tends to get darker before it becomes that saturated.Are we not including the special editions?

Your battery should hold up fine; the idea that sitting at a full charge degrades the battery isn't quite a myth, but it is way overblown. The thing that causes the most wear on a Lithium-Ion battery is charging when near full (the 80%-100% range, in particular). My launch Switch that spent probably 85%-90% of its life in the dock before being replaced by an OLED in 2021 has probably degraded much more than one that spent 95%-99%, but it still gets over 90% of its rated capacity.I've basically never taken my Switch out of its dock since March 3, 2017. I would not be shocked if the battery life is shot at this point.
Automatically uploading saves is a setting within the Switch; I believe it's enabled automatically, but I'm not positive, so it's possible you just had it disabled. It generally uploads right away when enabled, but you need to remember to actually close the software; the Switch OS will not manipulate the save file of a running game in any capacity. If you're someone who tends to suspend games in sleep mode, it'll never trigger until you switch games or close the game for some other reason. In my experience, though, it's behaved well when enabled since the feature launched in 2018.But goody maybe they improved it (last time I was annoyed is 2-3 years ago), should check it again.
