There's a new Nintendo Switch Lite, coloured blue Hue would have thought. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 13 Apr 2021 35 comments It might not be the Nintendo Switch hardware news you were waiting for, but Nintendo has today lifted lid on a fresh colour Switch Lite. It's blue. Not "Oceanic Blue" or "Mario Dungarees Blue". Just blue. And it arrives in Europe on 7th May. To my eyes there's a certain indigo-y quality to it. It's skirting around the purple of GameCube, but it's certainly not a million miles away. Will this tempt you into a Switch Lite purchase ahead of any other Switch hardware releases this year? In a press release announcing the new console colour, Nintendo also namechecked a couple of upcoming first-party Switch releases on its radar. New Pokémon Snap arrives on 30th April, while Miitopia follows on 21st May. Watch on YouTube Beyond that, we know very little other than to expect a selection of Pokémon games either side of Christmas. Nintendo is set to take part in E3 this year, and will likely lay out its plans for the second-half of 2021 then - such as how it will celebrate The Legend of Zelda's 35th anniversary. Until then, how does blue suit you? This #NintendoSwitchLite is a true blue!
