Announcement Video
As I've been hoping ever since I saw a rumor on WSJ, Nintendo has finally announced their next device, the Nintendo Switch Lite. Since it's only $199 compared to the Switch's $299 price, this should open up the availability to a switch for quite a few people here, which I'm particularly interested in. (If I'm being honest, I wouldn't be this excited if I didn't just win a bet I made awhile back).
