Why Didnt Nintendo put HDMI in Nintendo Switch Lite!?

[Amiga Forever]

On the poll survey say That most of Kids or adult play on TV with their Nintendo Switch and I seem think they missed the trick that they didnt put HDMI in Nintendo Switch Lite.

You might well get Nintendo Switch rather than Switch Lite.

There will be Nintendo Switch Pro that coming out next year!

I guess because they are specifically saying it’s dedicated to handheld gaming only.

I agree though, there’s hardly any size and weight difference to the Switch to make it a useful device. They would have done better if it specifically supported all existing 3DS/2DS/DS software (and hell, why not throw in backwards compatibility for older game boys generations whilst your at it).

Its obviously pitched more at the Japanese obsession with portable gaming, as it’ll almost certainly sell there.

I love Nintendo but they always annoy me how they spend vast resources making really pointless and niche items like this.

rant over.

Because they want you to buy the original Switch if you want to connect to a HDMI Display.

Its an entry system for the Nintendo world as soon as you saturate the market of your flagship you need to either update but that's not a good idea as you would annoy the base users or you build an low end system to wet the appetite of users on the fence or the mums and dads who cant offered the flagship product. Also some people don't need it to connect it to a HDMI etc.. I think its a smart move.

Isn't it basically the replacement for the DS?
