There will be a special ‘Pokémon Sword and Shield’ version of the Nintendo Switch Lite

Nintendo is known to make special game-themed versions of its systems. And the new Nintendo Switch Lite is no exception. If you’re willing to wait a bit more, you can get the Pokémon Sword and Shield version of the handheld gaming device. Called the “Zacian and Zamazenta Edition,” it’s named after two Legendary Pokémon that represent the titular Sword and Shield aspects of each game. It has a light gray tone with blue and magenta buttons. The back is adorned by artwork of the two creatures. It’ll come out in the US on November 8^th for US$200, which is the same price as the original models. If it comes this way, we’re assuming it’ll still cost CA$259.99, but we have to wait for confirmation that Nintendo will bring it here. The games, however, will not be bundled. You will still need to buy those separately when the games launch on November 15^th.
