Do you have a Nintendo Switch that you never, ever connect to your TV? You might want to give the Switch Lite a look.
The $200 device is, for all intents and purposes, a new portable gaming system from Nintendo. It's the Switch you know, but it ditches removable Joy-Con controllers (as well as HD Rumble) and a TV-connected dock in favor of a smaller, more self-contained form factor.
The elimination of removable Joy-Cons does impose some limitations. Some Switch games benefit from using a Joy-Con in its horizontal configuration, giving it a layout similar to traditional NES and SNES controllers. That's not possible with a Switch Lite.
The Lite also does away with the larger Switch's infrared sensor. This would have the biggest impact on Labo games, though Labo wouldn't have worked anyway because it also requires removable Joy-Cons.
The Switch Lite is otherwise a smaller, lighter version of the console you know, able to access the same features and play the same games (aside from the exceptions noted above). It's not so much a Nintendo 3DS replacement as it is a new handheld option for Nintendo fans.

It offers another level of performance and plays a completely different set of games, and it also comes in at $100 less than its $300 big sibling.
The Switch Lite is set to hit stores on Sept. 20.
