The design is gorgeous; the mint green and light blue Joy-Con, with white wrist straps to go with them, are stunning. The dock, meanwhile, is the most elaborate yet seen, featuring artwork of Tom Nook and his sons, Timmy and Tommy. Finally, the Switch itself has a special wave pattern engraved onto the back, with a smattering of Animal Crossing images mixed in.
