Nintendos new Animal Crossing Switch Lite bundle is now available

A sweet design, plus it includes Animal Crossing: New Horizons for no extra charge

Nintendo is gearing up for the holidays with some fresh Switch console bundles. This year brings a new $199.99 Switch Lite bundle that’s Animal Crossing-themed. It comes in light pink or blue, with leaves printed on the console. What’s noteworthy about this bundle is that it comes with a download code for Animal Crossing: New Horizons (a $60 value). In case you can’t get enough of the game, the Happy Home Paradise DLC is $24.99, or free if you subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier.

Both models are currently available to purchase from a number of retailers. The pink Isabelle Aloha Edition is available exclusively through Target, while the blue Timmy & Tommy Aloha Edition is available through Walmart.

Nintendo is also offering the Mario Kart 8 Switch bundle that we’ve seen for a couple of years, but bearing a new box design. The $299.99 bundle includes the standard, non-OLED Nintendo Switch packaged with a copy of Mario Kart 8, plus a three-month individual membership to Nintendo Switch Online.

In case you didn’t know, there are 48 race courses and new characters not included with this copy. Those are available with the $24.99 Booster Course Pass. Alternatively, they’re free to access if you subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier, which this bundle doesn’t include.
