​
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.

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!

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

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.
