​

It’s almost time for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury to release, and to mark the approaching release date, Nintendo revealed a handful of new information and goodies. First off, a limited color variant of the Nintendo Switch console will be releasing. It’s themed after Mario, aptly named the Mario Red & Blue Edition, honoring his iconic outfit. It features a bright red set of Joy-Cons, a red dock, and even a red Switch tablet, with blue accents on the Joy-Con grips and attachments.

A Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibo will also be available, offering special bonuses if you scan them in Bowser’s Fury. Each of these, including the game itself, will launch on February 12th. Lastly, a special event is scheduled for Super Mario Bros. 35, where players will have to reach milestones, including defeating Bowser 3.5 million times worldwide.

Really nice to see Big N stepping up their game on the cgi, can’t wait to see if the 4K rumors are true how things will look

I like the colors it'll probably cost an arm and a leg here..

I feel like this is when Mario starts getting weird like the sonic games

How long until we get an edgy wario with a gun

This looks liike the closest we will ever get to having giga bowser in a proper super mario game, cool.

why mario became super saiyan 4?
like, big yellow monkey hair

 

[raxadian]

I wonder if Scalpers will get this before anyone else?

 

[Mythical]

Looks boring

 

[tfocosta]

Oh no, it's one of those situations...

But as much as I enjoy Mario, I'll have to pass this one...

 

[ChibiMofo]

Yikes. Red & Blue is an ugly color scheme.

That is precisely what I thought when I saw the hideous original Switch. That shade of light blue was hideous on the 2011 Wii, and it was just as bad on the Switch. You have to admit though that this new Switch is a great way to celebrate The Year of Mario, albeit a year late!

Super Sayan Cat Mario, eh?

The Switch colors are ugly as hell. Should have been Cat Mario themed instead.

As much as I love all things Mario I really don't like the limited edition switch. I can't work out why though lol.

Colors and the use of the Mariko chip?

As much as I love all things Mario I really don't like the limited edition switch. I can't work out why though lol.

I think the problem is with the fact that the console un portable mode is pure red. I would have made some elements of the console blue. Not just the Joy-con Grip and the L/R button accessory.

I would have made the dock blue with the switch simbol red and some details in yellow. I dunno.
RED EVERYWHERE

that's gonna be a no from me

 

[MaxiBash]

tl;dr we get no plot details on why Mario and Bowser Jr. are teaming up until 2 days until the game's release, also SUNSHINE PAINTBRUSH

 

[TheZander]

You guys really hate red and blue the hell is wrong with you. Is get it if I didn't have a switch

 

[OctuplePrecision]

The red colour is really neat tbh. I kind of wish it was all red though instead of red/blue.

 

[godreborn]

I'll try to get this new system even though I think there's too much red. I already have the animal crossing switch, which I got along with pouch on launch and thankfully without having to pay a scalping price. I'm afraid I might have to pay that price with one of these though, but the animal crossing switch has really come down in price on ebay, so maybe I'll wait a bit.

 

[Nudu]

dbrand here we gooo

 

[DJPlace]

i bet this is going be the same price has the AC bundle that came out a year ago.

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

It’s just way too red
