Original story:
Ninš tendo has unveiled a new coral coloured Switch Lite that's set to release in Japan on March 20.&ą²nbsp;
The new Switch Lite was announced on , where preorders are expected to go live on March 7. March 20 is of course a very big day in the world of Nintendo with the upcoming release of the highly anticipated ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The delightful coral shade perfectly compliments our upcoming visit to the deserted island with Tom Nook's getaway package. Doesn't it just remind you of pretty coral reefs? I can practically hear the ocean waves when I ź©²look at it.
The lovely coral edition joins the growing little family of Switch Lites that currently includes yellow, grey, and turquoise consoles. As a lighter version of the Switch, the Switch Lite is a great option for anyone who is more likelyš to play Switch games on the go, or isn't too bothered about being able to dock the console and play on a TV.
We don't yet know if or wāhen the coral Switch Lite will be released worldwide, but we very much hope it does make its way outside of Japan. On the website, it does also mention the Coronavirus, which is causing some delays to the production of Switch consoles. Despite this, Nintendo still expects to ship the new colour variant this March.
This new addition also comes to Nintendo's lineup comes shortly after the reveal of the adorable ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5å¼å„å·ē åå²ę„čÆ¢:Animal Crossing: New šHorizons themed Switch, complete wšith Timmy, Tommy, and Tom Nook himself on a little island that decoraš§tes its dock. And to top it all off, the special edition also features pastel green and blue Joy-Cons. Be still my Animal-Crossing-loving heart.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned anź¦ MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first ā±official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
