Alongside new information about Super Mario 3D World + Bower’s Fury, Nintendo has revealed a new Mario Red & Blue Edition system. It’s the first limited edition Switch to have a different coloured console body.
The Switch system itself it Mario Red, the dock is red as well as the Joy-Con. The Joy-Con grip is blue and comes with Mario themed straps. There’s also a Mario case included.
The system is out alongside the game on February 12th in Australia and New Zealand. The Mario Red & Blue Edition Nintendo Switch will set you back $479.95, the normal RRP for a Switch.
Looks quite nice. I need a new set of JoyCon (the drift is real), so hopefully they can be purchased separately.
They missed an opportunity to have some Mario branding on the joy con or console itself
EB has the Joy-Con listed as “exclusive” but they look like the ordinary neon reds to me; not even the dark reds that came with the Odyssey bundle. Though the right blue Joy-Con in the Fortnite bundle is a lighter shade from the Blue (L)/Neon Yellow (R) set, which was mildly disappointing.
