Below are the Original Nintendo Switch Limited Edition releases, ordered by the release date.

Splatoon 2

Nintendo's first limited edition bundle included Splatoon 2. North America got lucky on this bundle as this version came with Pink and Green Joy-Cons which was a nice touch (matching the Splatoon 2 Ink theme). They also got an additional case which was sold separately in the EU

Super Mario Odyssey

What a game this is, Super Mario Odyssey was Nintendo's first Nintendo Switch platform adventure game for the hugely successful Super Mario Bros series. The bundle included Mario Bros Red Joy-Con controllers (nice touch Nintendo) and the US was lucky in that their version included a Mario Odyssey themed travel case. This followed a similar pattern to the Splatoon bundle released earlier, kinda sucks for the EU.

Mario Tennis Aces + 1-2-Switch Bundle

This is a bit of an odd combination of games. It's almost as if Nintendo weren't quite sure if Mario Tennis Aces was a good enough game to be bundled on its own so decided to check the back of the sofa for any games lying around and discovered 1-2 Switch. Don't get me wrong, its a solid bundle and who doesn't like an additional game?

Fortnite Double Helix Bundle

This was almost inevitable... Fortnite and Nintendo coming together to produce a limited edition bundle with exclusive in-game items.

It is a shame Nintendo didn't do more with the console artwork, the bundle itself has no physical differences when compared to the standard Nintendo Switch Neon Blue & Neon Red console. With Fortnite being free to play, there was no need to include a full digital game code, instead, Nintendo included 1000 V-Bucks for players to spend in-game and a Double Helix item bundle which contains the Back Bling character outfit, glider and pickaxe.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Nintendo Switch is a match made in heaven, to date, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling Nintendo Switch game ever (over 48 million copies sold!). It's no wonder that Nintendo has looked to push this game as part of a bundle as often as possible.

Unfortunately, it's been relatively dull in terms of hardware creativity from Nintendo on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundles. All bundles to date are based on the standard Nintendo Switch Neon Red & Blue bundle.

Fortnite Wildcat Bundle

Another Fortnite bundle hit the shelves on October 30th and this time they decided to put a little bit more effort into the hardware design (see Fortnite Helix bundle above).

There are some cool design elements found in the Fortnite Wildcat bundle. The dock touts several logos and icons from the game splashed in a repeating pattern. This pattern can also be found on the back of the main Switch unit itself. Then, one final nice touch is on the right blue Joy-Con where the Switch home button takes on the shape of the infamous Fortnite Battle Bus, nice work Nintendo!

Mario Red & Blue Edition

This is our favourite Nintendo Switch bundle to date and if you're a Mario fan, this is the bundle for you.

What is there not to like? The bundle comes with a vivid Mario themed Red and Blue design, travel case and stylish Red Joy-Con controllers. Also included are Blue Joy-Con straps and a controller grip which matches the Super Mario Bros theme. The only thing missing would be a bundled game, maybe Nintendo should have bundled a copy of Super Mario Odyssey - would that have been too much to ask?

Nintendo Switch OLED Bundles

The Nintendo Switch OLED has one major advantage over the original Switch and the Switch Lite, it's that super crisp OLED screen. It's the perfect way to experience all your favourite games like never before. With its vibrant display, you can see every detail of your favourite worlds come to life. With its sleek design and battery-saving OLED technology, the Nintendo Switch OLED really is the best model Switch available.

Take a look below at the Limited Edition Nintendo Switch OLED bundles released to date.

Splatoon 3

The Original Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 bundle was the first Limited Edition bundle announced by Nintendo and it's great that we get a new bundle for Splatoon 3.

With the Splatoon 3 bundle, you get the full Nintendo Switch OLED experience plus a special edition Splatoon 3 themed dock and Joy-Con controllers. The attention to detail on the dock is impressive, and the vibrant colours on the Joy-Cons match the theme for Splatoon.

Unfortunately, the bundle doesn't include a copy of the Splatoon 3 game which is a shame. You'll need to purchase the game separately to get that complete Splatoon experience.
