Why are we getting a Nintendo Switch Lite - Hyrule Edition?

We discussing the new special edition Nintendo Switch Lite - Hyrule Edition. Pretty out of the blue announcement, given the time for the Switch family, or is it? We take a look at Nintendo's current dilemma to uncover the reason why we are getting another special edition for the Switch, the Switch Lite in particular.

I just bought the totk oled and ill be getting this too. I can't deny my love for zelda themed consoles

[rayahui]

switch lite has the best form factor imo, the switch OLED has an amazing screen, I would love OLED lite

The Switch lite is the logical choice right now if you are looking for a christmas present. No point shelling out for a full size one with a new version being released next year.

This is a collectors item for the collectors. I myself being a collector, am ecstatic about his new Zelda lite and will be purchasing day 1

I'll be buying this console. I'm 33, and I have not purchased my own switch, but have been feeling the nostalgia for my old gameboy advance. I shopped around for the OLED model a year ago, but it was too big and clunky for me, and I had no interest in the dock feature. I'm planning to purchase the lite with the zelda game release and am planning to download a bunch of my old favorite gameboy games (like golden sun, and pokemon). I don't care if new games will be released for the next console, because for me, this is going to be a nostalgia device for me to play at my leisure and have in my purse. I think this is what Nintendo might be aiming for, a very specific target audience to reduce the stock of their switch lites before the new console release.

Honestly, the OLED and the Lite models are the best entires. Switch 2 should take notes and be offered in just those tiers...

Pre-ordered already will be my first legit handheld in years I'm sooo excited!!!

I initially purchased the Nintendo Switch when it was first released, but due to the limited game selection at the time, I lost interest and traded it in for credit towards a PlayStation 5 when it became available. Later on, when the Splatoon 3 edition of the Nintendo Switch OLED was released, I made another purchase. However, due to my busy schedule, I rarely had the opportunity to play it and eventually sold it to a friend who expressed a strong desire for it. I deeply regretted this decision as the Splatoon edition had a unique and appealing design.

As my life circumstances changed and I found myself moving frequently, I realized the need for a portable gaming device. The Nintendo Switch Lite seemed like an ideal choice for me, and I decided to purchase the special edition. Considering the imminent release of a new generation of consoles, I felt it was not practical to invest in another OLED model. I have been thoroughly satisfied with my decision and have found the Switch Lite to be a perfect fit for my current lifestyle.

Buying thiss one after selling my scarlet edition one. Had some rough times and now I'm back on the horse. I also prefer the feel of the lite and how more handheld it is and less brick.

Hopefully I will get one next year of they still have it, it gives me a good reason give my nephew my Switch Red Mario edition. I used to have a switch lite before and miss how lighter it was, and playing it more comfortable than joycon switch.

I have a Switch V1 but decided to buy a switch lite last week for about 97 USD and do not regret it. It feels much better to grip imo and find my self picking it up more than my V1 since I don't use docked a whole bunch. The Hyrule edition lite is very expensive here in Australia so I decided to get a normal lite.

[Stinger]

I didn't know the original Lite was released with Link's Awakening, but it is a good combo with the special system / related game title releasing close - what I was thinking of was Zelda: Tears and that "SE" Oled. Something that also came to mind was the simultaneous release of the PS2 slim (PSTwo) just prior to GTA San Andreas back in 2004 when maybe people had waited to get the system or wanted a backup.

Just pre-ordered it! This'll be our 6th switch in the house (5th special edition)

[MRSNIPER]

I preordered it and the switch lite hyrule edition and plus it also comes with 12 months for switch online plus expansion pack

[benalvis]

Id get it if it comes with the updated processor. I don't mind the smaller screen but the 2hr battery is a no.

[GerudoRamirez]

I was gonna buy one but then I found a new “Mario Red” switch OLED for the same price so I caved 😅

[Ace_Angelo]

I have the dp edition switch lite but it’s worn and used now. Zelda has always been a special series to me since I was a kid so I’ll definitely be getting this new edition

[kaox]

I have 5 Switch in my house hold. We play only one…

[deadozedo]

I got a switch lite a month ago and have been playing non stop. I think I spend more of my time with the switch than on my ps5. So I'm definitely excited for the Switch 2.

[mralapenosarespicy]

Why? I dunno but I already pre ordered
