I will be there day one for these translucent Nitro Deck models
CRKD’s Nitro Deck is getting a new collection of limited edition variants, and they really appeal to my Game Boy Color-loving self with a gorgeous translucent look that was all the rage in the 90s and early 2000s.
The Nitro Deck Limited Edition Crystal Collection, announced via CRKD’s Instagram reelfeature a colorful, translucent design, an aesthetic that has recently come back into fashion, as evidenced by the excellent GameSir T4 Kaleid and the beautiful Forza Horizon 5 edition of the Xbox Wireless Controller.
The Nitro Deck Crystal Collection is available in four flavors: Orange Zest, Emerald Green, Atomic Red and Crystal Pink. Moreover, they are available for Pre-order now on the CRKD website for $89.99 / £89.99 / AU$98.99. CRKD estimates shipping will take place between December 15 and 24, so you’ll likely get yours in time for the holidays. If you weren’t able to get your hands on one of those lovely – but very limited – Analogue Pocket Transparent Edition consoles, this is the next best thing.
These latest limited editions also come with a sturdy carrying case and a set of two interchangeable thumbsticks. These inclusions ensure that your device is well protected from wear and tear and that your Nitro Deck will last until the end of the Nintendo Switch life cycle and beyond.
