The Switch Lite has always been the little sibling of the Switch lineup—small, budget-friendly and perfect for gamers who just want to get into handheld gaming without the bulk of the standard Switch or the price tag of the new Switch 2. But its quirks—no TV hookup, fixed Joy-Cons and an aging LCD screen—have held it back from being great. Taki Udon, a modder whose SUPER5 HDMI mod, paired with an OLED screen upgrade, turns the Switch Lite into a handheld that feels like it came straight from Nintendo’s factory.
