In the gaming industry, the section on special editions is highly demanded by its users. Whether they are games with personalized boxes, packs with extra content or even consoles modified by the manufacturer itself and that make them different from their “basic versions”. After collecting this type of product from other game consoles, today we want to dedicate this article to the most exclusive versions of Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite to date.
Best Nintendo Switch Special Editions
Let’s start with the most exclusive editions of the older sister of the family, the original: the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Edition
The first special edition of Nintendo Switch to hit the market was dedicated to one of the titles that arrived on this console: Splatoon 2 . Of course, in this case the only different thing that this team incorporated with respect to the basic version were a pair of Joy-cons in green and fuchsia, themed with the colors of the game. Currently this version of Switch can no longer be purchased in stores. Although, if you want to have an identical version to this, you can purchase the controllers with these same colors through Amazon.
Nintendo Switch Super Mario Edition
More of the same happened with another of the first special editions, in this case dedicated to Super Mario Odyssey . Once again, this model can no longer be officially purchased but don’t worry, the only difference between this model and the classic one is that the right Joy-Con is red just like the left one. So you can always get one of these packs through Amazon to have both of the same color.
But it seems that Nintendo has learned from these “mistakes” where the only differences are the controllers and, for example, there is a special Nintendo Switch version dedicated to Mario’s first 3D Multiplayer adventure to be released on WiiU.
On this occasion, we find a totally red Dock , like its Joy-Con. Both the adapter to convert these controls into a gamepad and the accessories to be used separately will be found in blue , thus closing the range of colors typical of the adventures of this plumber. In addition, this pack also includes one with different logos from the world of Super Mario.
Nintendo Switch Pokemon Let’s Go Edition
How could it be otherwise, the popular Pokemon saga has also brought special editions for this console. In this case, it is the same version that was released together with the Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee titles. The Switch and the content of the pack were exactly the same, with the only difference that it changed the game that was included.
These included the typical change of colors in its controllers, in this case for earth brown and yellow , the main colors of these Pokemon. But, in addition, the loading dock of this were screen-printed both creatures and, on the back of the console, they added the silhouettes of these. Accompanying the pack came a Pokeball Plus , an element that boasted of improving the game experience by being used as if we were throwing the ball ourselves to catch them. Currently it is quite difficult to get a unit of this console and, as you can imagine, there will be a significant cost to pay.
Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition
With the arrival of one of the most coveted titles by Nintendo lovers to their portable console, this special version of Animal Crossing New Horizons accompanied it. Both the joy-Con and the charging dock itself had been customized with the colors of this game (blue and pastel green), thus giving a different and friendlier appearance than the classic version of this game console.
Nintendo Switch Labo Edition
If you have been a fan of Nintendo Switch for a long time, you will be familiar with the Labo initiative that the company designed a few years ago. A project that allows us to create our own tools with cardboard models so, after adding one or both Joy-Con from our console, to play with them.
Well, Nintendo developed a creation contest with Nintendo Labo in which, the winners, were awarded with a very exclusive version with this theme. Obviously, this is not for sale and it is estimated that there are very few units in the world.
Nintendo Switch Trials of Mana Edition
And speaking of contests and giveaways, this limited version of the Nintendo Switch dedicated to the Trials of Mana game was the prize in a giveaway organized by Square Enix itself.
Nintendo Switch Monster Hunter Edition
With the arrival of the game Monster Hunter Rise, you will be accompanied by this limited version that customizes both the Joy-Con and the console’s own charging dock. This product can be purchased from March 26, 2021 . So if you are a follower of the saga, we recommend that you sign up for the presale available on Amazon from now.
Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition
Nintendo’s popular fighting game also features a special edition in which the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters are screen-printed on the dock, and the game’s cross line on the console controllers. Nowadays it is difficult to get a unit of this version of the Nintendo Switch, so be very careful with the excessive price at which many sellers offer it.
Nintendo Switch Diablo III Edition
And, as with the previous model, getting this limited edition inspired by the Diablo III game is tremendously complicated and will have to pay a considerable price if we want it. In it we can see how they have customized both the charging dock and the back of the Nintendo Switch itself, with a set of silkscreens based on this popular title.
Nintendo Switch Fortnite Edition
Finally, if you are a lover of shooting through the Fortnite universe, you should know that there is a Nintendo Switch edition of this game. In the pack we find some yellow and blue Joy-Con, with the game bus screen-printed on one of them. In addition, the logos of the characters are also visible along the body of the dock and the back of the console itself.
Best Nintendo Switch Lite Special Editions
Now it’s the turn of the best sister, and the most current version, of Nintendo’s portable console: the Switch Lite .
At the moment, because it is a relatively new model compared to the Switch “just”, we can only enjoy a single special version of it. But, as new models come out on the market, we will add them to this list so that it stays updated.
Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian and Zamazenta edition
Pokemon repeats with a special version for the little one of the house with the latest version of the game in this saga. A limited edition called Zacian and Zamazenta , in which we will have a light gray console with a system of buttons that face the red and blue of both editions of this game.
