Barbie Rewind Deluxe Edition on the Switch includes not just the game, but a genuine Barbie doll with an Atari t-shirt

Atari announced Barbie Rewind on June 6, 2026, a game that lets you design her iconic Dreamhouse while playing through a range of classic games, from her 1991 NES adventure to even the previously unreleased Barbie Vacation Adventure for the Genesis (Mega Drive) and SNES. But what drew me to the collection was not that I could re-live some childhood nostalgia, but the fact that it comes packaged with a genuine doll.

If you grab the Barbie Rewind Deluxe Edition for the Nintendo Switch and only the Nintendo Switch for $59.99 at Best Buy, you get a Barbie doll, wearing a pink-styled Atari shirt with matching pink streaks in her hair. This version also includes a poster and is numbered out of 20,000, but who cares about that when there's a special limited edition Barbie up for grabs.

I may be a 30-something-year-old adult, but I have a soft spot for Barbie dolls. Right at this moment, I have a version of Ken in his movie beach get-up, and a Barbie version of the singer Ella Fitzgerald sitting on my desk staring up at me, but this Atari-shirt-wearing version is calling out to me more.

Back in 2016, Mattel released 'Game Developer Barbie', but I regretfully didn't pick it up. Ever since, I've felt remorse that I didn't get to add a game-themed doll to my collection. So it feels serendipitous that I now have the opportunity to add a game-themed Barbie that's not only wearing an Atari t-shirt, but that comes with a physical Switch game that's full of 16 classic Barbie games from over the decades.

Unfortunately, the doll itself isn't fully articulated like more premium Barbie dolls, which is a bit of a bummer. I also can't find the Switch Deluxe Edition in stock at UK retailers besides directly from Atari. Currently, the Amazon product listing is listed as "currently unavailable", but you can bet I'm keeping it bookmarked and updating this piece to give you more buying options if and when they become available.
In case you didn't know, Barbie Rewind is one of the few games to be brave enough to launch on November 12, the same month as Grand Theft Auto 6. As much as I love the GTA series, only one game comes with a doll, so I know which one I'm pre-ordering as soon as I can. Rockstar needs to step up their game.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
