Two Limited Edition Pokémon Let's Go Switch Consoles Arrive This November

Sorry but the colours of the joycons, to me, are disgusting. I like the back of the switch and the pictures on the front

Ugly brown Joycon, but otherwise lovely design.

Aaaaaaand they’re already gone.

It’s so ugly! 😂 Wouldn’t it have made more sense to have the console with Pikachu version installed have only Pikachu on it and yellow joycons and the Eevee version have only Eevee on it and the brown joycons? They should have done more of a buff color like Eevee’s chest/mane.

Edit: I see the grips are a second color that includes the buff color. The brown is still poopy.

How the hell is it possible to choose these colours ?
Who is the criminal who did that ?

Sometimes I have a real problem to understand some choices at Nintendo.

I'm sorry but when I look at that stuff, I think instantly : pee poo ! :/

Cute!

I like the yellow but not the brown... I don’t see myself buying this, but I’m not a Pokémon fan so obviously it’s not directed at people like me.

I wanna be, the very best
so I gotta get that Switch
I'm a sucker for special consoles
and this will scratch my itch
I will travel across the land
looking for just one
but why do I get the feeling
that they're already gone?

If I didn’t have a switch yet I would have bought this one for sure.

I’m not gonna lie, I love those bundles. I wonder if the joycons will be sold separately. Might have to import from Japan like I did with the Mario red joycons.

It seems like I'm in a minority but I love the Joy Con colours.

I'm less keen on the Dock though.

I'll pass. Maybe if they colorized the switch console itself instead of just designs on the back. I'll be more interested...

I like the yellow of the right joy-con, but I would have much preferred the left in cream (like the strap in the picture) rather than in that horrible brown. Will pass on this one - we’re looking to buy a second switch in the next year, but I might wait for an Animal Crossing-themed bundle to come out instead.

I like the yellow controllers. I wonder if they'll be available separately? I don't care about the designs on the back since I rarely look at the back of my Switch.

As for the dock, it's easy enough buy some stickers and customize it yourself.

With the attachment I think the colors are fine as a "Eevee Joycon" and "Pikachu Joycon".

I think it's cute that the JoyCon and wrist-straps combine to form the signature colors of Eevee and Pikachu.

It's likely also a convenient cop-out, as Nintendo have been having difficulties with matching the colors of the plastic on joycon and strap anyway. Like this, they're supposed to differ.

Ugh, did someone put too much white paint in the mixer? The colors look washed out and don’t scream Pokémon at all. You’d think it’d be something more vibrant or exciting. Although nothing can compare to the Pikachu 64.

I really want the controllers but don’t want to invest in a second switch

give us cloud saves, not this

Mine is White Joy Cons with Red, Yellow, Green & Blue buttons.

Those joycon's are gross but I love the console and dock.

Price? Nintendo doesn't like giving people things so I'm guessing $399 US.

If Nintendo is selling a $399 Switch with a kids game I think they are confused about why Pokémon sell millions of copies, the cheap price on portables helps for kids. Not saying it won't sell, but maybe not sell out as fat as people are saying.

Those boxes are very similar, I feel bad for any parent who mistakenly buys their kid the wrong one. Or any parent of a kid who really wants one or the other but the parents can only find the other one. 😂

3 free months of NO is good, after the kid is done playing Pokémon after 3 months the parents can say "No more NO for you." 😉

just give us some black ones already damnit!

I like the colours. :>

I love the ugly brown!

OK seriously what's the price?

If Nintendo doesn't put out a SSBU bundle in December these are going to get a lot more hate than for just the colors. ☺

Is there really any point in even having the ND any more? I knew it would have a Switch hardware bundle - check - and a HD port - thought Skyward Sword not FF:CC but whatever - so check - and it's even a Gamecube game, which people always want. And FFXV. And there were a few others. I think we've seen 75% of it by now. Still need a new Yoshi Crafty World trailer but the name is out. I'm still watch it but without expectation of any surprises. 😯

Give me those Joy-Cons right now! You can keep the rest.

brown n yellow like a rotting banana

Love the deep yellow joy-cons! My ARMS neon yellow ones are great, but I'd be tempted by these...

Omg, omg... i want it.. don't think i can afford it atm though

Two? I only see one . . . .

I wanna get it....but I can't find it anywhere for the American release. Maybe I didn't read this right, but are pre-orders available for America already?

Pikaround again. Yuck.
Eevee looking fantastic as ever, though!!

I need this bundle. I love everything about it, like it's so cute!

If I had any intention of buying a Switch, I'd probably go for a cool special edition like this. I love the designs.

Say what you want about the joycons, I like this The branding on the back of the system is subtle yet still makes a statement. I like derpy Pikachu on the dock too

It’s hard to say “just get another pair of joy-cons to put on it” when they cost as much as they do, but it is an option. The red and blue ones would make an excellent complement to the whole set.

Brown joy-con is so artistic, so much impressionism and dadaism in its colouring. It is the ultimate expressionistic pop-art gudget of the year. I love it.

I like these!

This looks really good! Would absolutely get this if I didn't already have a Switch.

Ahh, glad I'm not a Chinpokomon fan, though it can at times seem like both a blessing (saves $) and a curse (can't relate to ANY other gamers my age).

@Frendo yep i think nintendo just cater towards ebay scalpers these days

I think they would look better with matching Joycon rather than one each. Even that brown would look good if both were brown. It would be a nice color for a home with a natural color scheme.

Eh yeah, I like the colours on their own, but not combined. If Eevee got her own edition, just like Pikachu, it would have been amazing. This gives me hope for a special Animal Crossing edition, whenever that may be.

@RainbowGazelle I like visiting gaming sites that usually cover consoles I don't own or intend to own, too. It's fun, and not a waste of time at all!

That’s cute.

Am I the only person that actually likes brown?

Man this is basically gonna pull it all those Pokemon 3ds owners and print money.

@rjejr idk, I feel like $399 isn’t a bad price. $299 for Switch is pretty standard and a $100 for Let’s Go and the Pokeball controller. It’s a slight deal as the game would be $60 and Pokeball $50 if bought separately. So you save $10 and get the limited edition console/joy-cons.

So, this design is bad, I think we’ve all accepted that. However, I have some suggestions for improvement.

Dual Molded Red+White joycons+black wriststraps

Back of Switch remains

Front of dock is replace with outlines of Pikachu and Eevee instead.

This is coming from someone who has a neon green bedroom wall, so what I’m saying is probably codswallop.

Yes to the console itself, no to the joy-cons...though I'm not thrilled about those colors to begin with, themed or not. Besides, by the time I'm notified that pre-orders are up, they'll already be gone.

Hopefully more themed bundles show up near the holidays.

@AlexSora89: If I could upvote that comment more than once, I would. You've made my morning!

I was thinking this would be the system for me to get, but $100 extra?! No way! It's cheaper to buy all 3 items separately, and I'd also get Joycons that actually have good colors.

I just want the dock. Already have the Switch and early supporters shouldn't have to buy a whole new system when it would be easy to just sell the docks separately. I love Nintendo, but crap like that and locking Mew behind the Pokeball Plus suck so much, so anti-consumer.

I want it. Sorry but I love the look of it.

Remember, you don't need the limited-edition, themed console, nor the special edition copy of the games to enjoy the "no cloud saves allowed" feature for this title.

O.k so it's moving more in the right direction, but why the hell is the dock not a uniform colour? Being that there are two game variants surely we should have a complete yellow and a complete 'brown' system ? instead of a mash-up of both

Welp, if you were questioning Nintendo's 20 Million Console Sales Target, you can stop now.

I like it. If I were in the market for a Switch, I'd seriously consider this

@justin233 They are using Eevee's brown brand color, not just a random brown. To manufacture exclusive colored joycons is not as cheap as producing packs of crayons, so Nintendo cannot risk it not looking good, by not picking the correct brown. Also, I doubt Nintendo will see them seperately as in general brown is not the prettiest color to sell and it makes more sense kn the bundle.

Pretty poor designs I'm afraid, surely they could have gone full Pikachu and Eevee for 2 designs. Or at the very least have a bit of colour on the dock and a bit of a rethink on those joy cons

Poo Brown, Pee Yellow.

Remind me why they aren’t Pokeball red and white?

I love it!

@MrGawain That's what I was wondering. In fact, a cooler design would be if each joycon had a pokeball design theme. Flip L and R cons so if playing any 2 player game, the placement would match. Joysticks white.

Can I buy only the box?

@Tyranexx
Glad to hear that! English is not my native language, but I find rhyming in English just as fun as it is in Italian, that's how I manage to pull it off. It's just fun!

I like those joycons so I would definitely consider getting those separately but I don't need another switch

I dont get all the hate here? Its like none of you have seen a switch before. Nintendo has already established that they like dual colors with the switch, this is nothing new,. Besides this actually doesnt look THAT bad.

@Frendo

Because Germany is special (USK), they are much more strict.
For example, Turok on the N64 was the same game everywhere EXCEPT in Germany... :/

If u notice carefully, the Joy-cons are the tails of Eevee and Pikachu respectively.. Now i'll be printing out stickers of Chamander and Totodile to match the Neon Red and Blue Joy-cons of my Switch! Thanks for the idea Nintendo!

Add a little orange and you have a Reese's Cup Edition Switch.

Sucks being a first year adopter... I actually like the blander colors of these Joycons & the dock is just factually better than the standard one if you like Pokemon. Hopefully I'll at least be able to find the special dock online for a reasonable price, but I doubt it.

Ugh no, I want that Pikachu yellow joy con but I want it on both sides and just the joy cons, haha. That's my favorite shade of yellow (the ARMS ones were too neon for me) and if they sell a pair of those alone and both in that color I will have to buy them... C'mon Nintendo, save me from myself. 😂

(Also, my ugh no was not at the design, but at myself for wanting to buy even more joy cons haha. I think it looks quite nice. I wonder if my Pokémon-obsessed housemate will buy it although she already has a Switch.)

@Cobalt I think banana Donkey Kong. He pry isn't a stranger to "pee-poop" either.

I love this! Too bad I already got my Switch 😫 I would take a set of those brown joycons hella fast though. Brown is my favorite

But I already bought a Switch

@Cobalt I hear that the German law about video games is going to change to be similar with the rest of Europe. Let's hope the same applies for the gigantic German rating icon.

@Cosats fingers crossed then !

Really not digging this at all.

This switch is beautiful. Hope to get the joycon separately.

Nice. Maybe release a zelda Edition? Maybe follow suit with previous zelda systems with gold joy cons, there you go Nintendo an idea for you

Hmmm diarrhoea brown and sick yellow.

I'm going to buy a third Switch for our family. I've been waiting for a bundle to come out with a special edition system.....but this is not the one I want! I wanted a Monster Hunter or I want a Smash edition! Announce that Nintendo!!!!

Aaaa 😍 I need it! It's so nice! The pattern, joy con colors...
.
.
Do you guys know if I will be able to do a system trensfer from my old console to the new with the need of the old one or would I be able to set it up on the new console without the need of my old switch, just like on ps4?

It’s funny. Everyone complaining about the brien joyco yet so many were 😍 over the Labo edition switch. Guess because this is Let’s Go it makes it easier to hate on it?

I like the back of the Switch and I like the way the Joy-con blend with the pictures on the dock to almost look like tails. I can appreciate that.

Not keen on the colour scheme, though. It's giving me slight 1970s' vibes and flashbacks of flocked wallpaper.

So many negative nancies. Dear, oh, dear.

I don't know how I can possible muster the willpower to resist this. Worse is that there will probably be another (and better) bundle available when Gen 8 comes a knockin'.

I'll probably grab this bundle and either gift or sell my old Switch once I transfer everything over.

By the by, this headline.
It says two limeted edition consoles. But really, it's just one. It's just included in two different bundles.

@BladedKnight well I’m just talking about the brown joycon everyone is hating on. It looks just like the Labo joycon. So if you like that joycon you should like this one.

@Yosheel Brown is my favorite color since always. You're not alone. Almost all my stuff are in this color. My car too.

@Cobalt,

It's down to personal preference at the end of the day,while these colored joycon's would not be my first choice,they will still be very popular.

@Silly_G truth that’s what I’m holding out for that gen 8 console

I just went ahead and pre-ordered mine. I love the look of it.

I’m sitting here just hoping that this starts a trend and I can also get a deus ex Machina themed console 🤔

@Supadav03 It's not a bad price, but it's not the same price for parents who were buying their kids $99 2DS and Pokemon for $40, or Pokemon Go for free. If you wanted to spend $400 on a Switch there's a good chance you would have done so by now. And the older Pokemon fans are probably waiting on Pokemon Next Gen 2019.

Seeing a $399 Switch bundle is going to turn off some parents who's kids ask for this. It will probably sell out, they wont' make that many, but it's not a Black Friday must buy price either. Switch will be 21 months old this holiday, nearly 2 years, and the price just keeps going up - SMO bundle was $379.

@Pod Yeah, they need to sell two of the same consoles to all the true fans.

I like those joy cons alot! The console itself ain’t bad either, just useless cos I don’t keep eyeing my switch, I look mostly whats on the screen.
I also don’t need another switch but I could get me some of these joy cons if they sell them on their own.

@rjejr yeah, I’d skip the bundle if I was budget conscience. I’d buy the console off eBay with one of the 20% coupons knocking it down to like $225 then just add the game. And while it’s not as cheap as a 3DS it’s also not in the same category. This is a home console that can be taken on the go. So it’s priced like a home console. If it was a dedicated handheld only, I’d agree. But for what it is, I still think it’s a good value proposition. And this is coming from a father of 4. We have 3 Switch systems in my house and will likely add a 4th a Christmas.

I don't think it looks too bad. It's already available for pre order at Game in the UK for £339.99

Looks pretty nice to me, don't plan on getting it or the game either though

It would be awesome if they could just release the gold and yellow joycons on their own. There is no way I am buying a new Switch just for some different colored joycons and a couple of stickers on the dock.

@Supadav03 If you already have 3 Switch then I doubt you were the type of family I was thinking of. I don't know too many families w/ a Switch, maybe 2, ours and my brother-in-law, but I can't imagine too many people seeing $400 as a kids gift, even for Christmas. Not to say there aren't, but there won't be a rush on this like there was the $250 Wii w/ Wii Sports, another home console geared towards families but it was budget priced.

@rjejr no agruement from me. I know the $99 3DS/2DS & $20 Nintendo Selects are better for budget conscience families. Great system with a great library for cheap. But for the families willing to buy a Playstation or Xbox for Christmas, this bundle has plenty of value. I would say about 5/10 kids my boys hang with (school friends, cousins, etc) have a Switch. They all play Fortnite together and I see them with their Switches all the time. Several others have asked “oh what is that? New Nintendo! Oh, maybe I should get little Johnny one for birthday/Xmas?” Which I always reply “YES!”.

@Supadav03 "Which I always reply “YES!"

I'm in the yes camp too. Not so much in the waning years for the Wii U, which was pretty much started in year 2. But I'm primarily of the "buy it on sale, or after the first price drop" camp, not the special bundle camp. I bought the Wii U a week befor ethey announced the price cut from $349 to $299. Also the last price drop the Wii U ever got. Not that Nintnedo needs to drop the Switch price, it's still selling well enough, and Poekmon and SSBU will see it have a robust holiday. I think my reaction was somewhat based on several of the first comments about this being sold out before it launches, and I'm still not sure that will be the case at this price.

Will be funny if this holiday there are 2 Switch bundles on shelves, $359 for SSBU and $399 for Pokemon.

I love the colours, makes me think of honeycomb and caremel. I hope they release the reverse set separately so I can have a caremel switch 🤤

@IronMan30 How dare I not buy every single product Nintendo releases!
They're still making games for 3DS (which I own), so I visit for 3DS news and just to keep myself up to date in general with what Nintendo are doing.

There is no information provided about a Joy-Con grip. I wonder if they will exclude it entirely because surely they would have publicised a custom grip otherwise.

I already have a Switch, but if I were buying one I would pass on this because Nintendo is too cheap to include a physical copy.
