Gamers cheer ‘totally worth it’ over Nintendo Switch deal for ‘special edition’ console with a free game for $199

A SPECIAL version of Nintendo's handheld console costs the same as the regular device – and comes with a free game thrown in.

If you've ever been tempted by a Nintendo Switch Lite, it normally costs $199.

That's far cheaper than the $279 asking price for the full Nintendo Switch (that plugs into a TV).

But Walmart is selling the Nintendo Switch Lite Timmy & Tommy's Aloha Edition for $199.

And the deal also includes a download of the smash-hit game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

"The switch light itself is a vibrate green/blue color with a unique design of leaves on the back.

"Perfect size for my 3 year old's hands, my 6 year old already has the pink one. Very satisfied!"

Another buyer said: "Better than expected. A very portable device for easy pick up and play on the go.

"Great for lunch breaks, commutes, and in bed. Does not connect to the TV, but not a big deal due to the price."

One wrote: "Great deal. Switch came really fast and in great condition. Setting it up was a breeze and the inclusion of the entire Animal Crossing game was a great deal, especially because it's a great game on its own.

"Definitely a no brainer if you're interested in the game and want a super portable Switch console."

And another added: "Better value than the regular one.

"Between buying this one and the regular blue Lite, this one is obviously better since it comes with the game download for the same price.

"It's also so much cuter with the little leaf prints on the back. Walmart was also really speedy with the delivery!"
