A new Pokémon themed OLED Switch is coming this November, for Scarlet and Violet

Nintendo have announced that a new OLED model is coming, at least in the looks department, as its leaving the basic white and being adorned by Pokemon iconography, check it out.

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 good news is that Nintendo Australia have already confirmed its local release on November 4, two weeks before Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet release, which is the same release cadence they did with the recent Splatoon 3 console.
