For those looking to play games on the Switch Lite that don’t support handheld play, Nintendo says players can play those game via wireless controllers:

For games that do not support handheld mode, players can wirelessly connect compatible controllers (sold separately) to Nintendo Switch Lite. If using separate Joy-Con controllers, users will need to have a device to recharge them, such as the Joy-Con Charging Grip.

The Switch Lite will be available in Australia from September 20.
