What does the Switch OLED - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet edition come with?

The Switch OLED - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet edition comes with a scarlet/violet Joy-Con pair, featuring the two different academies' emblems. The specially designed Switch OLED unit sports a graffiti-style design on the back, depicting the three starter Pokémon Sprigatito, Quaxly and Fuecoco. The console also comes with a white dock emblazoned with the game's Legendary Pokémon Miraidon and Koraidon. Also included are two white Joy-Con wrist straps, one standard black Joy-Con Grip, and the cables you'll need to set up the console on your TV such as an AC adaptor and HDMI cable.

Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch OLED - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet edition does not include the game. The console will release two weeks prior to the game's release date, and you will need to purchase the game separately if you wish to play it. Nintendo's move to not include the game is the same scenario with the upcoming Splatoon 3-themed Switch OLED console.
