Players can collect an exclusive Nintendo Switch Lite item in Animal Crossing. This guide will show players how they can obtain it. Animal Crossing has always been a series that references other properties often. For example, earlier this month, a crossover event was held with the Super Mario series to celebrate its 35th anniversary. Players were able to unlock exclusive skins and a Warp Pipe item that allows them to teleport to another part of the island. That's not all, as Animal Crossing also crossed over with Hello Kitty with a special amiibo card set that provides new villagers in the game for the very first time. Now, players can collect a Nintendo Switch Lite that would be perfect for any Nintendo enthusiast. This guide will show players how they can obtain it.

This isn't the first time Nintendo has added their own console to the game. Early on, players were able to get a Nintendo Switch depending on the Joycons they had attached to the console. Not only that, but Ring Fit Adventure, another popular Nintendo Switch title, got its iconic ring controller added to the game as an additional item. Now, players can add another type of Nintendo Switch to their collection with the Lite. Here is how players can obtain it.

How To Get The Nintendo Switch Lite in Animal Crossing

Players will be able to get the Nintendo Switch Lite as an item after the week of the first-anniversary update which is on March 18th. Once the week is over, players will be able to purchase a Nintendo Switch Lite from Nook Shopping but there is a catch. This item is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members, meaning those players who don't have a subscription, will not be able to get the item. The Nintendo Switch Lite comes in 4 different colors, yellow pink turquoise, and grey. For collection purposes, players should try and obtain them all. It would look pretty cool to have all the Nintendo Switch Lite units on a single display alongside the original Nintendo Switch.

As the Nintendo Switch reaches the halfway point of its lifespan, many rumors and speculation have appeared about a "Nintendo Switch Pro" being released. While nothing is currently confirmed, many signs point at this being the case such as insider information and leaks. Maybe Animal Crossing: New Horizons will add this "Switch Pro" to its long line of Switch versions. Only time will tell. Make sure to collect your Switch Lite if you're a Nintendo Switch Online user.
