Today, Nintendo announced a brand new color of the Nintendo Switch Lite, which debuted last year as a cheaper alternative to the base Nintendo Switch. More specifically, it revealed that it’s adding a fourth color option for Nintendo gamers, Coral, which gives the console a light pink look. Beyond the new paint job, there’s nothing new or notable about the new variation, but many are saying it’s the best looking Nintendo Switch Lite skew yet.
