What's that coming over the hill? Why, it's a Nintendo Switch featuring exclusive Joy-Con colours and livery from a little game you might have heard of called Fortnite, the free-to-play battle royale shooter that's been a modest success for developer Epic Games over the past couple of years.
Nintendo has put together Fortnite console bundles with standard Switches in the past which came with codes for in-game goodies, but they can't compare to the beauty of this limited edition bundle and its bespoke paint job for both Switch and dock.
The Fortnite Switch hardware bundle has been available at European retail from 30th October 2020 and below we've collected the best deals available on the interwebs for your consideration.
So, why not set yourself up for a particularly stylish Victory Royale? Let's take a look at the best deals on Nintendo Switch Fortnite bundles:

Ha ha ha ha ha, no.
And ah yes, a bundle for a free game. That doesn't annoy me at all.
I mean games like Roblox does it too (Roblox Xbox One Bundle) and that kinda annoys me too, but at least Roblox has multiple experiences, and the Roblox bundle also includes Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so that's a plus.
When I was a kid, I promised myself to never become an old out-of-touch person that doesn't understand the newest music or hype things anymore.
But I broke that promise long ago.
I haven't played Fortnite for a while, but this is pretty cool.
I would much rather have a Minecraft Switch console, though.
Those Joycon colours look pretty awesome. The design on the Switch and Dock look like random crap doodles splatted around. No thanks for that.
If we can get those Joycon colours separate (and without the crude bus) I'd be down.
I cant wait for a kid to get it and then regret that decision 2 years later
@TheSmashTheorist That's the spirit! I dig it!
Reality is though that it might end up being a high value collectors item. So the kid can at least buy an adult Switch if he sells it.
The animal crossing themed Switch is gorgeous.
This..... thing is an abomination
Ew, no thanks. The Joycon colors look kinda cool I guess? But other than that, this bundle reeks of shame on so many levels (i.e. a free game being "included" in the bundle, a free game riddled micro-transactions, etc.) It's a smell of shame most sound-minded people can pick up the closer they get to adulthood... meaning little kids will be begging their parents for this bundle for Christmas.
For the price of a standard switch you get about £20 worth of extras and a special paint job. It’s not a bad deal if you like fortnite. ‘Riddled with micro transactions’ is pushing it. You can play the game at zero disadvantage without spending any money.
@Xenobound94 Free games can't make money without microtransactions. As long as it's not pay-to-win the microtransactions can be completely ignored.
I... I feel like an outcast. I personally love Fortnite and still play it pretty often. And can someone explain why they hate the game past “it’s popular” or “Minecraft good, Fortnite bad”? I understand that the community is toxic little kids, but wasn’t pokemon? Or Minecraft? Just ignore the community and play with people you know you will have fun. That is what I’ve done. And you can’t beat the events. They are like nothing I’ve experienced in a multiplayer game. Well I went a little of the rails, but for this bundle, nah. I’ve already got a switch and don’t need another one.
@Xenobound94 ‘riddled’ with micro-transactions is a bit disingenuous. The micro-transactions in Fortnite are incredibly fair and totally ignorable. It’s actually one of the better examples of how to do F2P.
Honestly I think the designer of the switch dock looks great to perfectly match the switch’s fortnite theme! Sure people say that it’s not great except the joy cons but I overall like the designer of it (and people don’t like it because they think the game is “dead” )
@WickedUnicarnBoi hating on fortnite is a popular pastime for many gamers, and i agree, ignore the pop-hate. Its silly to hate on games just because they dont appeal to you. I'm an adult gamer who's played about 200 hrs of FN and think it's amazing. I've also beaten Dark Souls without a guide, and finished Enter The Gungeon. But i guess im a casual scumbag for liking FN. ;']
@WickedUnicarnBoi
Yeah. It's a popular game to hate. I think it's a great game. but I hate the ghosts in the Halloween update!
Heh, let me be clear and say I was being sarcastic in my original comment. Sincere apologies to everyone who didn't catch on (and no, I don't mean that sentence sarcastically in a meta sort of way). Fortnite is definitely not my kind of game. I'm really not into F2P kind of games, so if it's your thing, by all means keep enjoying it. With that said, I do find it pretty fishy to "include" a F2P game with a console. Sure, you get some in-game goodies with it, but... ugh. Just seems a little tacky all things considered. Again though, you do you.
Im shock nintendo still alow this game on there switch..
@MisterKorman If only u know how salty people can be in that game you can understand why i say this also love the cat.
As Fortnite is unavailable in it's current form on mobile this might actually sell pretty well to parent's who's kids are missing out on Fortnite on the go
Wouldn't call that "gorgeous" but I guess looks are subjective. Definitely sticking with my Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch system. Now that's the definition of "gorgeous!"
@Yanina I somewhat am the same, new rap sucks and I always dug 90s and early 2000s stuff. Metal and rock seems to keep getting better, however and I'm sure you like many other games kids do, so we're not really out of touch, just with a few fads that will come and go. Hope they hurry up.
Really wish they would release Save the World on switch considering its the only mode worth playing on Fortnite.
I'm not a fan of BR games but the lack of progression in Fortnite absolutely kills the fun for me - at least in Warzone you could grind towards unlocking the weapon attachments etc.
A limited edition for the literal worst place to play it.
But it might help move some units this fall. Is fortnite still popular?
@MisterKorman if they buy a fortnite themed console now, they will be sad later regreting getting a fortine themed console because nobody will like fortnite
It looks like it's the same price as a base Switch, so this would be great for those not willing to shell out for a game just yet. Think of it as kids or more casual gamers dipping their toes into the Switch ecosystem.
@graysoncharles a switch pro?
I'm still tempted to grab this for the Joy-Con and dock (I'll sell the rest).
I was hoping that the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and NSO codes would have been included with this as well, but sadly not.
Never really played Fortnite so I don't have a clue what the pictures are, but I think it looks quite nice. I like the colour scheme. Good to see more and more themed Switches, like the 3DS.
Well, I suppose it’s business and I’m too old to get riled up over this stuff but.....
After Epic’s disgraceful actions with Apple I really don’t like them being supported by any company. What happens when they start refusing to adhere by Nintendo’s rules. Will they kick them out the store and withdraw this bundle?
It's literally sold here in Minsk, but outside the joycon palette, I don't find it exceedingly eye-catching. The ACNH design is more to my liking, and can even be found here as well... as a flea market item, and I'll leave it to curious people to google and convert 15000 BYN by themselves.😐😅
Themed consoles should be based on first party games in my opinion, I’m over getting limited/special/exclusive/themed consoles because they are more often than not an eyesore, Fortnite as a game sucks in my opinion
I wish you could buy those joycon colors separately. My husband would love them.
I just want a pair of Joy-Con in that shade of yellow; it looks nicer than the neon
Ugh, it annoys me this is going to sell like crazy.
@PikaPhantom Agreed I'd like a set too. Also Nintendo should be making color matched grips by now. Would be coo to have an all Yellow Joy-Con/grip setup.
Man, they're already sold out in the US
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have nothing against Fortnite, but I think this is kind of ugly. The Animal Crossing games do absolutely nothing for me (OK, everyone gasp in horror, but it's true), but the AC themed Switch was gorgeous. I almost wanted to buy it even though I'm not into the games it's based on.
I really like the colors.
(Wait, it's tied to a popular game? Ah, my bad. That means I should hate it.)
I hate the colors.
The important thing was we actually found one in stock this morning. I would have preferred not to encourage my cousin's Fortnite habit, but at least he'll get a Switch at all on Christmas!
I like the Warriors colors, but not a fan of the Fortnite stuff. That said I bet the tweens are going crazy over this.
its on amazon to not sold out heres the link
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KB5FBH8/ its probaly ganna get sold out by torrmow so be fast
Wait...you lost me at "gorgeous"... and I might add you used that in the same sentence as Fortnite. Was that a typo?
Gorgeous? I doubt even Stevie Wonder would find anything remotely attractive about it.
@Sun-Wu_Goku BRO! Your so cool, you are replying to something that you had nothing to do with! And why does it matter, I enjoy the game and the event they had today was epic. You enjoy what you want to, and I enjoy what I want to, ok?
