Nintendo Switch 2 Special Editions Overview
The Nintendo Switch 2 Special Editions price in Kenya is KShs 79,000. The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary edition brings a themed console, green-and-gold Joy-Con 2 and a decorated dock to Nintendo’s newer hybrid platform. It suits a Zelda fan who wants the anniversary design as part of the hardware they use every day. The underlying gaming capabilities match the standard Nintendo Switch 2, so choose this edition for its design rather than an expectation of extra processing power.
What makes the Zelda 40th Anniversary edition different
Nintendo’s design combines a Triforce on the black-and-gold dock with series-inspired patterns on the rear of the system and dock. The included Joy-Con 2 use green and gold detailing. These touches make the edition recognisable in handheld use as well as when displayed beside a television.
This is the international multilingual console supplied by NextBuy. It is distinct from Nintendo’s Japanese-language, Japan-only version of the same anniversary design. The listed configuration has 256GB storage and the standard Switch 2 display and performance capabilities; the decorative finish does not unlock additional game features.
The console does not include a Zelda game
The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary is the hardware edition name. Nintendo states that a game is not included, so budget separately for the Zelda title or other Switch 2 game you want to play. Artwork related to a game series is not a software entitlement.
Nintendo also released matching anniversary accessories, including a Pro Controller and carrying case. Those are separate products rather than automatic contents of this console box. The supplied controllers are the themed Joy-Con 2 pair; the package does not include the separately sold anniversary Pro Controller or its display stand.
A larger 1080p screen for portable play
The 7.9-inch LCD touchscreen has a 1920 × 1080 resolution, HDR10 support and variable refresh rates up to 120Hz. The larger area gives maps, interfaces and game worlds more room than the original Switch screen. The actual frame rate and HDR presentation depend on the software, so the maximum display capability is not a guarantee that every game runs at 120fps.
The rear stand supports tabletop positioning, while magnetic Joy-Con 2 attachment makes it straightforward to move between attached and separate controls. Supported games can use Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and HD Rumble 2. These are Switch 2 controller features rather than benefits exclusive to the Zelda finish.
TV play and the included Switch 2 dock
Connect the themed dock to a compatible television using the included Ultra High Speed HDMI cable. Supported games and displays can use output up to 4K at 60fps, or up to 120fps at 1080p or 1440p. Select a mode your television and game actually support instead of assuming every title offers every output combination.
The dock includes wired LAN for an Ethernet connection, and the console also supports Wi-Fi 6. Use the supplied Switch 2 AC adapter and USB-C charging cable for the intended dock setup. An original-Switch charger is not a substitute for the full Switch 2 TV-mode power arrangement.
256GB storage and game compatibility
The console provides 256GB internal storage, with part reserved for the system. If you need more space for installed games, choose a microSD Express card. Ordinary microSD cards used for game storage on an original Switch cannot serve the same role on Switch 2. The expansion card is purchased separately.
Switch 2 plays its own games and compatible physical or digital Nintendo Switch titles, but backward compatibility has exceptions. Check Nintendo’s compatibility information for older favourites before relying on them. Some game-key cards also require an initial software download, so plan storage and internet access even when buying a boxed game.
GameChat, multiplayer and battery planning
GameChat supports voice chat and screen sharing, with a compatible separate USB camera needed for video chat. Nintendo Account, internet, membership and regional service requirements apply. A camera is not included with this console, and buying the anniversary edition does not include an ongoing online subscription.
Nintendo quotes approximately 2–6.5 hours of console battery life depending on the game and conditions. Demanding software can therefore make charging access important on longer trips. The design remains a hybrid console rather than a replacement for a full day of unplugged use in every game.
What comes in the anniversary console box
The package contains the themed Nintendo Switch 2 system, green-and-gold Joy-Con 2 pair, decorated dock, Joy-Con 2 grip, two wrist straps, Switch 2 AC adapter, USB-C charging cable and Ultra High Speed HDMI cable. Add a game and a correctly sized protective case according to your plans.
See Nintendo’s official anniversary-edition listing for the design and package reference. For buyers deciding between this edition and the ordinary console, the practical question is whether the Zelda treatment is worth the difference to them; the essential Switch 2 gaming experience is shared.
