A new pack based on the famous battle royale game will include new Fortnite-themed Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and other goodies. Limited edition controllers aren’t necessarily new in the gaming community, but Joy-Cons have the extra advantage of being two controllers in one.
As a result, the console has some absolutely innovative and cool style configurations. Despite the various iterations of the dual-wielded accessory, Nintendo has yet to address Joy-Con drift’s ongoing issue.
Fortnite landed on the Switch in 2018, with ten million of the console’s 22 million owners downloading the hit game. Nintendo has also launched a Fortnite-themed Switch with yellow and blue Joy-Cons and pictures of heads that players will wear in-game adorning the dock and Switch body.
It would be remiss not to mention that, like most battle royale games, the game does not work well on the Switch. It lacks the graphical quality and consistent framerate that other platforms can achieve, which makes competitive play that much more difficult.
The Fortnite Fleet Force Bundle is the name of the latest Joy-Con bundle. It has a blue left Joy-Con and a yellow right Joy-Con, all of which feature exclusive banana imagery from the video game. This matches the Battle Bus on the right blue Joy-Con on the limited-edition console. The kit also features a 500 V-Bucks voucher and a download code for the Fleet Force in-game Glider and Pickaxe. On June 4, the kit will be available for purchase.
Along with two controllers, 500 V-Bucks, and special in-game gear isn’t a bad idea. This isn’t the first time exclusive items have been released in a Fortnite pack. The Wildcat Suit, Stylish Strike Back Bling, and 2000 V-Bucks were also included in the Switch’s limited version. Once the Season 6 Battle Pass launches on March 16, players can use their V-Bucks to purchase exclusive Marvel Skins and the forthcoming Season 6 Battle Pass.
Nintendo’s limited editions are generally of high quality, as shown by the Animal Crossing: New Horizons version of the Nintendo Switch released last year. It will be fascinating to see what other Fortnite editions the developer will release in the future. If all the stars align, the game’s partnerships with other franchises might lead to a Marvel x Fortnite x Switch package or something similar. In the very least, such an event could be hoped for.
