The new color option will join the yellow, gray, and turquoise consoles that are already available.
In September of 2019, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch Lite, a smaller version of the original Nintendo Switch, which doesn’t include removable Joy-Con and can only be played in handheld mode.
The Switch Lite is also a slightly smaller console, with a 5.5” touch screen, compared to the 6.2” touch screen on the original Switch console. (Check out Nintendo’s website for a full list of comparisons between the Lite and original Switch.)
When the Switch Lite was released, only three colors were available to choose from: turquoise, teal, and yellow. This spring, a fourth color will join the mix.
On April 3, Nintendo will release a coral Switch Lite system for $199.99. The coral system will be the same as the other Switch Lite consoles, except it will be a different color.
Nintendo has a history of releasing different console colors after a system is first released. For instance, a Switch Lite based on Pokemon Sword and Shield was released in November 2019, and a Switch themed after Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be released in March 2020.
