Surprisingly, it has taken Nintendo four years to release a Mario-themed edition of the popular Nintendo Switch console.
That’s right: you can now buy a red and blue Nintendo Switch that celebrates Mario. However, it’s a limited-edition and is sure to sell out quickly. Here’s where you can buy this new Mario-themed Switch.
What Is the Mario Red & Blue Edition Nintendo Switch?
The Mario Red & Blue Edition Nintendo Switch is a model of the popular console that is themed around the iconic platforming plumber.
The standard version of the Nintendo Switch features a neon blue, neon red, and black color scheme (though you can buy other colors or customize your Switch with things like vinyl skins).
The Mario-themed Nintendo Switch has a bold red design on the console itself, the Joy-Con controllers, and the dock. The Joy-Con grip and Joy-Con wrist straps are solid blue.
Unlike the ordinary Switch package, the Mario Red & Blue Edition includes a screen protector and a carrying case that features Mario iconography.
Where Can You Buy the Mario Red & Blue Edition Nintendo Switch?
This Mario-themed Switch coincides with the release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (though this game doesn’t come with the console) and is likely to be a limited-edition console in hot demand. It retails for $299.99.
As such, if you want to get your hands on one, you shouldn’t delay, otherwise your only option might be to face over-priced scalpers.
You can buy the Mario Red & Blue edition Switch from various retailers in the US.
If you want to go direct to source, visit the official Nintendo Store. This ensures you get the best warranty and support.
Alternatively, it’s also available from a number of retailers:
You might find the console is out of stock or only available from third-party sellers. If so, you should set up a stock alert if possible, or visit the page often to see if more stock becomes available.
Don’t give up hope if you’re not able to buy one. While it originally released the Animal Crossing-themed Switch in a limited quantity, Nintendo released more just a few months later. It might do the same with this Mario-themed Switch.
Customize Your Nintendo Switch
Have you bagged yourself the new Mario-themed Switch? Well done! Once you’ve got the console, be sure to customize it to your liking—organize your virtual game library, change the system interface color, and more.
