If there's one game from the past few years that even non-gamers have heard of, it's Fortnite. Reaching massive widespread popularity, Epic Games' title has come to multiple platforms since its initial launch, including the Nintendo Switch. And now, Nintendo and Epic Games are teaming up to release a special edition Nintendo Switch console, featuring unique Joy-Con colors as well as a console dock covered in series-related designs. This bundle comes with a yellow left Joy-Con and a right blue Joy-Con, with the latter sporting a flying bus on top of the home button.

Extra goodies also include the free-to-play Fortnite coming pre-installed, alongside a code voucher for the Wildcat and Sleek Strike Back Bling cosmetics, and 2,000 V-Bucks ingame currency. The Fortnite special edition Nintendo Switch will be available on October 30th for Europeans, while Australia will get the console on November 6th.

Now that mobile fortnite went under they're capitalizing on the Switch

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Mobile Fortnite is only dead on Apple IOS devices as they are stuck on old versions that were preinstalled before being pulled.
On Android it is only gone from Google Play Store, you can still get it from Epic Games Store Launcher on Android just like it was before it came to the Google Play Store and still gets updates just fine. Know your facts before saying spiel as people will think it's facts when it is not.

I hate the game and wish it would die everywhere, but sadly doesn't look like it'll fu<k 0ff anytime soon

No thanks. Hate Forrtnite game. Yuck!

Huh. I’m one of the few people I know who hated fortnite with a passion, but changed their opinion when they played it. I’d probably get this if I didn’t already have a Switch.

Where else is this droppin'?

 

[Justinde75]

Milking it even more

 

[BraveDragonWolf]

Ugh...Fortnite still a thing?

These "special editions" are lacking with the Switch. I did like the Animal Crossing system, if only for the colors... but.. Where's the cool designs? Decals? Just different colored joycons with some terrible dock designs.

 

[UltraSUPRA]

I'll buy the Joy-Cons second-hand.

Yeah, I haven't really played it since 2018, but when I did, I put 155 hours on the switch version. The game is fairly decent, and you don't need to spend money to have fun, I think it's just the community thats bad imo, and some of the shit epic does, but for a free game, it's actually pretty good.

I play fortnite with my brother and friends and enjoy it but this shit looks bland and once again they release a "special edition" with generic black dock. What happened to the days when Nintendo put some effort into their consoles?

What a waste of a promotional Switch skin. THIS bundle of tripe, whose owner is an exclusivity-hoarding scumbag who deliberately wanted Apple and Google to ban this tripe so the owner can potentially use the government to force their way onto the iPhone and Android systems? Yuck.

 

[Crazynoob458]
