On October 5, 2023, I added something really special to my collection — the Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian & Zamazenta Edition. What makes it even more meaningful is that it wasn’t me who bought it — my brother picked it up for me in the Philippines. He found it second-hand for 6,000 pesos, but when he showed me the design, I knew it had to be mine.

The moment I saw the console, I was instantly excited. The unique Pokémon-inspired design, with the legendary Zacian and Zamazenta etched on the back, made it stand out from any other Switch Lite. I didn’t buy this one for gameplay — I bought it purely for the design and for the collection. It’s the kind of console that feels like a treasure, something you want to proudly display alongside the rest of your Nintendo Switch family.

Adding this edition wasn’t just about owning another console, it was about celebrating a piece of Nintendo and Pokémon history. And honestly, the excitement of having it in my hands for the first time is something I’ll never forget.

On September 28, 2023, I scored something truly special — the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition. I bought it from the Noon Online Store for only AED 999, which felt like an absolute steal for such a beautiful special edition console.

The moment I clicked “Buy Now,” I couldn’t stop smiling. I wasn’t just buying another Switch to play on — I bought this one purely for the design and my collection. The pastel Joy-Cons, the island-inspired dock, and the adorable Animal Crossing theme made it stand out as one of the most charming consoles Nintendo has ever released.

What made it even more exciting was the price. For a special edition console, getting it at 999 AED felt almost unreal. It was the perfect combination of beauty, rarity, and value — something I simply couldn’t pass up.

When it arrived, unboxing it was pure joy. I knew right away this Switch would be one of the crown jewels of my collection, not just because of its design, but also because it represents the fun and cozy vibe that Animal Crossing brings to players around the world.
