Nintendo's First Special Edition Switch OLED Revealed
The Nintendo Switch remains incredibly popular more than five years after it was released. Despite longstanding rumors that Nintendo is working on a successor to the Switch, a Switch Pro, the only upgrade delivered so far is the Nintendo Switch OLED. And it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon, as Nintendo has now revealed its first special edition Switch OLED themed after one of 2022's most anticipated exclusives, Splatoon 3.
As Nintendo Switch fans likely already know, Splatoon 3 is in development for release on September 9. It's one of the biggest Nintendo Switch exclusive game releases of the year, and Nintendo is going to celebrate the occasion with a special edition of the Switch OLED model. The special edition console will feature a gray Splatoon 3 graphic on the front and back of the docking station, as well as a neon green ink splash. The Switch itself will have a pair of Splatoon 3 Joy-Cons, one green, one purple, and then more of the Splatoon 3 art alongside the entire back of the console.

Pricing for the new Nintendo Switch model has yet to be made available, but it's confirmed for release on August 26.

Fans will just have to pick up the special edition Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch first and then the game later.
The standard Nintendo Switch OLED model is currently available in two different colors, white and black.

These OLED consoles can be purchased for $350, $50 more than the $300 standard version of the Switch
