Read on for all the key details that we know so far.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nintendo Switch Lite Dialga and Palkia edition price<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The official <a href=\"\/\/store.nintendo.co.uk\/en_gb\/nintendo-switch-lite-pokemon-dialga-and-palkia-edition-000000000010007815.html&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo<\/a> website (where pre-orders are already underway) tells us that the Nintendo Switch Lite: Dialga and Palkia Edition console has a recommended retail price of<strong> \u00a3199.99 GBP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually the exact same RRP as the Nintendo Switch Lite in any other colour or design \u2013 so you could buy the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/nintendo-switch-lite-blue-pre-order-price-where-to-buy\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Switch Lite Blue<\/a> version for the same price or any other colour that you fancy if you don\u2019t want the new Pok\u00e9mon version.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering if there might be discounts out there that can save you a few quid on a Switch Lite, our handy widget should be pulling together the best Switch Lite deals for you below. However, it\u2019s likely that the only deals you find will be on the ordinary colours \u2013 the Dialga and Palkia version is limited edition. Nintendo probably won\u2019t struggle to sell them, so it probably won\u2019t see any deals of its own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-container&quot;\" data-position=\"&quot;adhoc&quot;\"> <h5 class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-title\" style=\"background-color:\">Latest deals<\/h5> <div id=\"&quot;monetizer__deals&quot;\" data-type=\"&quot;price-comparison&quot;\" data-config=\"'{&quot;shopId&quot;:&quot;656&quot;,&quot;market&quot;:&quot;gbp_en&quot;,&quot;template&quot;:&quot;dhbtrdnqti&quot;,&quot;searchKeywords&quot;:&quot;nintendo\" \/> <div class=\"&quot;monetizer__price-comparison-explanatory-text\" \/><\/div> <p><strong><a href=\"\/\/store.nintendo.co.uk\/en_gb\/nintendo-switch-lite-pokemon-dialga-and-palkia-edition-000000000010007815.html&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsoredd noopener noreferrer\">Pre-order the Nintendo Switch Lite Pok\u00e9mon Dialga &amp; Palkia Edition <\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nintendo Switch Lite Dialga and Palkia Edition release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Nintendo Switch Lite: Dialga and Palkia Edition console has a confirmed release date of <strong>5th November 2021<\/strong>, which is very close to the release of Pok\u00e9mon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
