It might not be the Nintendo Switch hardware news you were waiting for, but Nintendo has today lifted lid on a fresh colour Switch Lite.
It's blue. Not 'Oceanic Blue' or 'Mario Dungarees Blue'. Just blue. And it arrives in Europe on 7th May.
To my eyes there's a certain indigo-y quality to it. It's skirting around the purple of GameCube, but it's certainly not a million miles away. Will this tempt you into a Switch Lite purchase ahead of any other Switch hardware releases this year?
In a press release announcing the new console colour, Nintendo also namechecked a couple of upcoming first-party Switch releases on its radar. New Pokémon Snap arrives on 30th April, while Miitopia follows on 21st May.
Beyond that, we know very little other than to expect a selection of Pokémon games either side of Christmas.
Nintendo is set to take part in E3 this year, and will likely lay out its plans for the second-half of 2021 then - such as how it will celebrate The Legend of Zelda's 35th anniversary.
Until then, how does blue suit you?
This #NintendoSwitchLite is a true blue! ?

Nintendo has just revealed a fresh blue color variant for its most successful gaming console, the Switch. The Blue Nintendo Switch Lite console will be available for purchase across Europe starting May 7, while US fans will be able to pick this one up from May 21.
“By expanding the existing range of color options for the system, the blue Nintendo Switch Lite gives you more options to express your personal gaming style wherever you choose to play,” explains Nintendo in a statement.
With the addition of the new color, the Nintendo Switch Lite is now available in five different colors: blue, coral, grey, yellow, and turquoise. Unlike the regular Nintendo Switch, the Lite version has integrated controls and is smaller and lighter. Still, you can play the same games and you should be getting the same gameplay experience as you would on the standard version.
The biggest downside of the Switch Lite over the traditional Nintendo Switch is that it can't be docked, so you are limited to handheld mode. Besides that, you won't have to deal with recharging your Joy-Cons since the Switch Lite comes with integrated controls, as we mentioned earlier.
As far as the price goes, the fresh new blue Nintendo Switch Lite will cost the same as the other color options already available on the market, so depending on region, you will either pay $200 or €200 for one.
