Nintendo is no stranger to limited edition variations of their consoles, and now that the Switch OLED has had some time on the market, it seems it's about time for it to get its own limited edition. Revealed today was the Splatoon 3 themed Switch OLED console, which comes with Joy-Cons split into two hues, blue and purple and yellow and green, adorned with artwork across the shells. The dock is also unique, grey, with imagery from the Splatoon series, and a neon-yellow paint splotch, while the Switch OLED tablet has similar designs on the back as well. No price was given, but the Splatoon 3 Switch OLED limited edition will be out on August 26th, while Splatoon 3 itself releases September 9th.

the joycon shells are pretty cool.

Lmao. All those switch pro articles about a privated video looking like clowns again 😂.

The videos have been put to private simply because they contain licensed music and the license has ran out.

Well, still not impossible, but even if there was a Pro, it just seem like too late now.

this is how a nintendo product is supposed to look: colorful, fun... For OLED they went with the most boring color ever, that is white.

Fix the Joycons, Morans!

Best looking JoyCon yet. Though those Skyward Sword ones were solid as well.

Nintendo milking the Switch until the moment they announce the successor.

I wonder what the controllers will look like in the Switch UI. Currently they can only have 1 colour for the body and 1 for the buttons. Time for a firmware update maybe?

this, the n3ds, ps4 pro, xbox one s, all released ~3 years into the console's lifespan. Sure, covid could have messed with that for the switch, but 3 years after launch was march 3 2020, if it were happening, we would have gotten an announcement, or at least weird things going on in the firmware, in january. 2 years later and still nothing...

On their website the price was listed at $359.99 USD

It felt more like a Metroid Dread color scheme, since it matched the text, and released on the same day.

Here's your 9999999 switch pro rumor result bro

 

[zoogie]

Not bad except for the big yellow splotch.
But I guess that's what this fandom wants (yellows8 would approve).

 

[HarveyHouston]

So, the console based on the game releases before the game? Weird.

 

[SMNFXCN]

I wonder how the Joy-Cons will look within the OS.

This thing looks pretty good. I normally don't care for the limited edition switches but I kind of want this one even though it's OLED.
