<h3>What gameplay modes does Switch Lite support?</h3>
<p>One of the key features of the standard Switch model is its three gameplay modes: TV mode, Tabletop mode, and Handheld mode. However, the Nintendo Switch Lite can only be played in handheld; it <em>cannot</em> connect to the TV and does not feature a kickstand to use in a Tabletop setup.</p>
<p>It’s also worth noting that the Nintendo Switch Lite does not feature HD Rumble or an IR Motion Camera, although the console will recognise other wireless Joy-Con.</p>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="GameplayModes" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/882c1455310e8/gameplaymodes.original.jpg"><img class="lazy" src="http://static.nintendolife.com/blank.gif" data-original="http://images.nintendolife.com/882c1455310e8/gameplaymodes.900x.jpg" alt="GameplayModes"></a></figure>
<h3>Are all Switch games compatible with Switch Lite?</h3>
<p>The Nintendo Switch Lite can play any Switch games which support handheld mode.</p>
<p>For games that do <em>not</em> support handheld mode, players can wirelessly connect compatible controllers to the Switch Lite and effectively create a makeshift tabletop setup. If you’re using original Joy-Con controllers, you’ll need to have a way of recharging them as they cannot be docked to the Switch Lite.</p>
<h3>What comes in the box with Switch Lite?</h3>
<p>The Nintendo Switch Lite does <em>not</em> include a dock, HDMI cable, or kickstand like the original model. Instead, the box will simply contain the console and an AC adaptor.</p>
