The blue Nintendo Switch Lite has a darker tone than the other four Switch Lite options. Nintendo initially launched the Switch Lite with three colors: gray, yellow, and turquoise. A coral model joined the lineup in 2020. While Switch stock in general was limited for much of last year, the coral Switch Lite was fairly challenging to find in stock around launch. It’s possible this blue model could also sell out fairly quickly and be hard to find.
