Shortly after revealing all of the latest details around their upcoming series continuation titles, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Nintendo announced that they are releasing a Nintendo Switch console themed after the latest gen titles. This Switch console features art inspired by the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games. This will be an OLED Model that features a vibrant 7-inch OLED screen, a wide adjustable stand, a dock with a wired LAN port (LAN cable sold separately), 64 GB of internal storage, a portion of which is reserved for use by the system, and enhanced audio in handheld and tabletop mode.
The Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon are featured on the glossy front side of the white system’s dock, and a design inspired by the series’ iconic Poké Ball is featured on the back. The back of the system itself is adorned with special illustrations of the three Pokémon you can choose as your first partners in the game – Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly – along with illustrations of symbols players may recognize as they journey through the games. The Joy-Con controllers, which match the main colors of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, feature the school emblems of the Naranja Academy and Uva Academy that appear in the respective games.
The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Nintendo Switch console is officially releasing on November 4th and will be available in select retail stores, as well as online on Nintendo’s website. It does not come with the games and so they will still need to be purchased separately. Whether you plan to pre-order now or when the game’s released on November 18th, you can buy Scarlet and Violet separately or together in a double-pack.
