Gorgeous cover art! I’m definitely picking up that lite day 1.
Hmm. I was down for the Lite at £200, despite my reservations that Lites should never have cost more than £150 in the first place, but the fact GAME are asking for £10 more (plus... it's GAME ffs), has turned me right off. I'll wait to see who else is listing it.

@gcunit it includes 12 months Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (£34.99 Nintendo price)
Being a savvy/curmudgeonly gamer these days I’ve been grumbling to myself the only Christmas game would be Astrobot for about £60-£70. The fact this is going to be around around £40 has made me happy to skip Astrobot for the time being and get this instead, and possibly something else Nintendo with the money I can save.
Preordered the game physically discounted from my trusty retailer here in Italy as usual.
Hope all those who want the Lite will be able to get it!
I have a Lite but the battery's borked after months of being left plugged in accidentally. Genuinely considering the Hyrule Edition because it's gorgeous and, more importantly, fiscally irresponsible
Game looks bad but that console is sweet!
@JohnnyMind This trusty retailer of yours is beginning to sound like some sort of code 😁
@jco83 Thanks, I hadn't spotted that. Useful to know, though the subscription would go straight onto eBay as I always family group it.
Looks like Nintendo saved their best special edition Switch Lite for the last year in the system's lifespan to push some extra unit sales from collectors. Switch may surpass the PS2's sales yet... At least until Jim Ryan comes out and says "NUH-UH! PS2 actually sold 200 million units, a number I totally didn't pull out of my arse. We're still the top selling system of all time!"
rip everyones wallets so many good games this year plus 2025 is going to be stacked.
I'm an idiot, but damn that Switch Lite has got me. Got my preorder in with GAME, though I might try for someone else as GAME love charging extra for delivery on preorders.
@gcunit Have to admit that it sounds suspicious, but unfortunately reality is way more mundane: it's a retailer that sells physical games online and at conventions exclusively here in Italy and usually they have discounts on games if you preorder from them - interestingly enough more often than not you get the UK version of the box instead of the Italian one so my guess is that they're able to regularly discount them because of that.
How is it sold out already? This better be easy to get like the TOTK OLED.
I just need the game so i will wait for it to hit amazon.
Never been remotely interested in the lite before, but this one caught my eye immediately. Might try to find one at some point.
Do the UK retailers ship to the US ?
Ah yes good old FOMO. No thanks, I'll wait for reviews. If it's as good as I hope it is, I will pick it up at some point for sure. I am not pre-ordering though. And definitely not buying another switch.
@Rooty damn sorry to hear about your battery. My v1 Switch has been mostly plugged in for years, battery still fine.
If only Nintendo realised that a switch lite oled could be a thing.
@KayFiOS Just checked 5 mins ago and he said it's 205 million now. He's turning the PS2 into that runaway flag in Super Mario 3D World.
@WiltonRoots LMAO did he really say that?! 🤣
@KayFiOS LOL no I said it in jest! But I can picture it happening!
@WiltonRoots so could I, that's why I had to make sure you weren't being serious LMAO
@Scarmucci AFAIK only Amazon UK would ship to the US
Any special edition console based on a particular game should have said game pre installed or have the cartridge in box on the shelves. If the 3ds used to do it there’s no excuse. God forbid one pro consumer thing from current Nintendo.
The last special edition console releases from Nintendo always seem to come at the thickest time (just before the launch of the new console) but always end up being of the more valuable from that generation. Tempted!
The Nintendo Switch Lite is currently available in Saturn Germany. I was waiting for the stocks and finally secured one. I wouldn’t buy normally since I already own a Switch but Hyrule Edition seems great and it comes with NSO plus Expansion.
@ShonenJump121 Anything collector related will be gone in seconds lol and then price-jacked on eBay
Selling out to scalpers?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D7J4KKK5/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazon UK already opened their preorders a few days ago (6/21). But it sold out now.
@Ocaz wow, I completely overlooked that as I read the article. You are absolutely right. I guess I took it for granted, but shouldn’t have.
There won''t be a special edition of the game itself, will there?
:/
Ordered that Lite the moment it was available in my country. I already have one, but that color combination is just brilliant.
@Ocaz Haha you think THAT'S anti-consumer?! Goodness, you really don't know alot about modern businesses, do you? Microsoft and Sony are doing far worse things nowadays.
However.. I do agree with you that it should've had Zelda pre-installed, just like the Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch Lite had.
I thought the nintendo store might have bundled something with it. Like a case or something but I guess not.
Thought there would have been an amiibo or a special edition like Link's Awakening got. Kinda disappointed and it feels too soon for it to be announced now?
Darn is there not going to be a pre-order bonus for GameStop?
I have 5 Switches already (launch model 2 Switch Lites (yellow and coral) along with an OLED and Pokèmon Scarlet and Violet OLED) so I have no need for this. I would have purchased this immediately if it was an OLED though but unfortunately it's not.
@Maubari I didn’t say it was anti consumer now did I? You took the time to write out a reply but not the time to read it. Anything to initiate a confrontation. Please relax.
@Fake-news Yeah, I'm a bit miffed it's a standard one. I'm not surprised since they probably have an abundance of these. I always hoped the twilight years of the Switch would see OLED Lite models and something like a PSTV version of the Switch. A truly dirt cheap little box for a docked only experience.
@RubyCarbuncle
5? But why? And how do you keep the data on all of them in sync, is that supported?
If only it had been an OLED model, I might have dipped. But I really don't see any added value of getting a Switch Lite, as I don't play on my Switch in handheld mode often enough. On my commute to work (2-3 times a week) I always play on my Retroflag GPi Case 2, because it doesn't take up as much bag space as a Switch would.
@NintendoWife Compulsive spending. I tend to buy things as a means to cope with my mental health issues. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder I get good days and I get bad days.
I have 5 Nintendo Accounts all set to different countries like America and Japan.
@Big_Fudge i can understand that when the console is based on and named after a specific game, but this console does not do that - in fact there is no mention of the new Zelda game anywhere on the box 🙂 (not even the word Zelda)
for the Switch OLED tLoZ:TotK Special Edition console, here in the UK / Europe it was absolutely ridiculous how tiny and obscure the writing on the box was saying the game wasn't included (so tiny it could make you think it was done intentionally)
go look at the image of the UK/Euro box and see if you can see it. i know the American version made it fairly obvious and prominent
Nice enough looking to where I almost want to get one, but the last thing I need is another Switch. Bring on the Switch 2!
@Big_Fudge Special Edition consoles including the game are gone now. gives the customer the choice of what format they buy the game in: digital/physical [/collector's edition (if one exists)]. console price can be lower than what it would be if it included the game. makes way more sense
@Big_Fudge i didn't say it was "way lower" ! 😂 lol. i honestly don't know what to say about barely anyone wanting NSO+ 🤔 i for one really enjoy it. i'm sure many others do too. so it's a welcome thing. certainly being NSO+ instead of standard NSO (which is all they mentioned in the Direct) was a nice surprise 🙂
actually it's only £10 more RRP than regular Switch Lite RRP. which is the same difference between Switch OLED and Switch OLED Special Editions . . .
allbeit the Switch Lite Aloha Edition did come with Animal Crossing New Horizons game pre-installed for the same price as the regular Switch Lite 🙂
Echoes of Minecraft
GAME [UK] charging £59.99 for a RRP£49.99 game is an absolute joke
I do need a new Switch Lite (the drift sucks and i worry ill break it if i try to fix it, and mine overheats easily), and while the design if the Switch Lite itself is cool, I won't ever play the game...
Just to point out that ShopTo aren't offering the free poster now. That stopped on 6th September.
"Please note all pre orders placed after 08:20pm 06/09/2024 will not include the free poster!"
@NintendoLife Can you tell when the review embargo will fall?
I preordered them a while ago. I actually preordered two copies of the game, plus two of the Hyrule Edition Switch Lites: one for me, one for my girlfriend. I preordered one set at Best Buy, and the other set at GameStop, so I can get both sets of preorder bonuses.
Gonna pick up the one at Best Buy first, as my local Best Buy opens at 10:00 a.m., then go to my local GameStop when it opens at noon (unless they do a midnight release, at which point I'll do GameStop first and then Best Buy when it opens).
Once I get both sets, I'm heading over to my girlfriend's place, and we're going to spend the afternoon playing the game together, since I took the day off of work to pick these games up, and she already had the day off because of the way her work schedule is structured (getting Wednesday and Thursday off every third week; we call it a split week where the both of us work).
@Max_the_German : Reviews are typically posted 1-2 days prior to release.
@SillyG I know, and the NL team member know the exact time.
@NintendoLife Is mentioning the embargo date in public forbidden by an NDA?
@SillyG @Max_the_German yeah, we can't reveal the embargo timings unfortunately.
It's out on Thursday 26th not Friday the 27th!
I cancelled my pre order 😅
Decided I already have OLED and Lite so it was unnecessary.
IdontneedthisIdontneedthisIdontneedthis.
...but I wants it, precious! And with 300 freed up from Assassins' Creed getting delayed...I could... seriously somebody talk me out of this.
@Ryu_Niiyama you can get it and return it, if you really don't need it.
You won't return it. But you can.
@Ryu_Niiyama “After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.”
@Nancyboy @Everythingnotsaved thanks for the assist! I am still on the fence but I have got time. I’ll wait until I come back from vacation next month to decide.
As much as I want one of these the fact that it doesn't come with the game is annoying. I'm tired of consoles being themed with a games release but the games not included.
Lost interest. It is nice but I pass.
Best of luck to the collectors, it is nice indeed.
It came too late to be enjoyed
Mine was delivered this afternoon. A nice addition to the collection!
