Does Go Vacation Work on Switch Lite?

By Alice Nichols

Are you a fan of Go Vacation and recently bought a Switch Lite? If so, you might be wondering if the game works on this new console. In this article, we’ll explore the compatibility of Go Vacation with the Switch Lite.

What is Go Vacation?

Before diving into the compatibility aspect, let’s first discuss what Go Vacation is. Developed and published by Bandai Namco, Go Vacation is an adventure sports game that was first released for the Wii in 2011.

The game features a variety of activities such as skiing, parasailing, horseback riding, and much more. It also has an open-world environment for players to explore.

Switch Lite Compatibility

Now let’s get to the main question: does Go Vacation work on Switch Lite? The answer is yes!

As per Nintendo’s website, all Nintendo Switch games are compatible with both the standard console and the Switch Lite. However, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.

Controllers

Unlike the standard Nintendo Switch console, which comes with detachable Joy-Con controllers, the Switch Lite has integrated controls. This means that games that require motion controls or detached Joy-Cons may not be as enjoyable on the Switch Lite. Fortunately, Go Vacation can be played using either Joy-Con controllers or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller which can be connected to your console via Bluetooth.

Multiplayer

Another thing to consider when playing on a Switch Lite is multiplayer options. Since it doesn’t come with detachable Joy-Cons or a built-in kickstand like its bigger counterpart, it may not be as comfortable to play multiplayer games on one device. However, if you have additional Joy-Con controllers or Pro Controllers, it’s still possible to enjoy multiplayer gameplay.

  • If you want to play local wireless multiplayer mode with other players, you’ll need a copy of Go Vacation for each player and a separate console for each player.
  • If you want to play online multiplayer mode with other players, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Conclusion

In summary, Go Vacation works perfectly fine on the Switch Lite. Just keep in mind the limitations of the integrated controls and multiplayer options. With that said, if you’re a fan of adventure sports games and love exploring open-world environments, then Go Vacation is definitely worth checking out on your Nintendo Switch Lite.
