CRKD's Nitro Deck is getting a new collection of limited edition variants, and they greatly appeal to my Game Boy Color-loving self with a gorgeous see-through look that was all the rage back in the 90s and early 2000s.
The Nitro Deck Limited Edition Crystal Collection, announced via CRKD's Instagram reel, boast a colorful translucent design, an aesthetic that's really come back in vogue recently, as evidenced by the excellent GameSir T4 Kaleid and the gorgeous Forza Horizon 5 edition of the Xbox Wireless Controller.
The Nitro Deck Crystal Collection comes in four flavors: Orange Zest, Emerald Green, Atomic Red and Crystal Pink. What's more, they're available to pre-order now from CRKD's website for $89.99 / £89.99 / AU$98.99. CRKD estimates shipping will occur between December 15 - 24, so you'll most likely have yours in time for the holiday season. If you weren't able to grab one of those lovely - but very limited - Analogue Pocket Transparent Edition consoles, then this is the next best thing.
These latest limited editions also come with a sturdy carry case, as well as a set of two swappable thumbsticks. These inclusions mean your device will be well-protected from wear, and should make your Nitro Deck last to the end of the Nintendo Switch's life cycle and beyond.
