The Nintendo Switch has become one of the most popular consoles. In fact, the gaming company sold more than 139 million units since release in 2017. It’s so popular that Nintendo released the Switch Lite, a smaller and lighter handheld-only version of the console, a few years later in 2019.

Walmart has the Nintendo Switch Lite (in turquoise) on sale for $179, or 10% off its list price. While this doesn’t seem like the deepest of discounts, it’s actually the console’s all-time lowest price ever. And since Nintendo rarely puts their consoles on sale (especially when it’s not the holiday season), this is a very good deal.

This is the Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition, which means the console comes with a free copy of “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” (a $59.99 value) — a social simulation game that takes place in real-time.

Unlike the regular Switch, the Nintendo Switch Lite doesn’t include detachable Joy-Con controllers, while it doesn’t connect to a TV and its display is smaller at 5.5 inches instead of 7 inches. But, one of its biggest draws is that it includes an actual D-Pad controller instead of a four action buttons that mimics a D-Pad, like on the regular Switch.

Aside from that, it’s pretty much the same console as the larger Nintendo Switch. It can also play nearly all of the same games, including “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,” “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” “Super Mario Bros. Wonder,” “Princess Peach Showtime!,” “WarioWare: Move It!” and others.

On sale for $179 (reg. $199.99), Nintendo Switch Lite: Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition with “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” is available at Walmart. In the meantime, watch an overview video for “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” below:
