Announcements
Nintendo Switch Lite – Coral
On April 3, Nintendo is releasing a new color of the Switch Lite. The color is called “coral,” and like the name, sports a beautiful pinkish-orange that calls up images of a relaxing beach. The coral Switch Lite will sell for $199.99.
Animal Crossing Tote Bag or Poster
If you pre-order Animal Crossing: New Horizons through Walmart in America, you will receive an adorable Animal Crossing tote. The tote features everyone’s favorite capitalist, Tom Nook! Alternatively, if you’d rather have a poster, then pre-order the game from Gamestop. The two-sided poster features many of the cast of Animal Crossing.
