- CRKD has announced two new variants of Nitro Deck 2
- One is a limited edition collaboration from Limited Run Games.
- All Nitro Deck 2 pre-orders will also receive some bonuses
Gaming accessories brand CRKD has announced two new models of the upcoming Nitro Deck 2, including a limited edition collaboration variant and some interesting pre-order bonuses for buyers of either version.
Although you may have missed the news in the flurry of reveals surrounding The Game Awards 2025, Nitro Deck 2 was officially announced earlier this month. It’s a follow-up to one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories redesigned for the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Part handheld dock and part controller, it’s a full Joy-Con 2 replacement aimed at improving the handheld gaming experience with more comfortable grips and improved joysticks. The original model received a rare score of five out of five in our Nitro Deck review, with hardware editor Rhys Wood calling it “an essential Nintendo Switch accessory.”
I’ve been using one for years and have been eagerly awaiting a revised version for Nintendo’s latest system, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it when it finally releases in the spring (in the US and UK) of 2026.
Buyers now have two new variants to consider when placing their pre-orders: a special limited edition Fusion in collaboration with Limited Run Games and a retro-inspired Pal Gray edition.
The limited edition Fusion comes in a modern two-tone color combination, with half of the accessory in an icy transparent blue and the other in a radiant transparent purple. This model is exclusive to the Limited Run Games and CRKD websites, and will not be available once the pre-order window closes on March 29, 2026.
The Pal Gray Edition is based on the iconic gray color scheme of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that shipped in the PAL region (which includes Europe).
All pre-orders are being updated.

On top of all this, anyone who has already pre-ordered or will do so in the future will get some exclusive free bonuses.
This comes in the form of a Nitro Deck 2 branded microfiber thread badge and a Nitro Deck 2 Early Supporter collector pin. Nice!
