Nintendo has recently unveiled plans for a special in-person event titled “Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Red Edition“. Surprise, scheduled for August 31 at 22:00. The event is scheduled to last approximately 15 minutes.
During this live presentation, Nintendo will introduce a new variant of their Switch OLED game console, named the “Nintendo Switch – OLED Model – Mario Red Edition.” The “Nintendo Switch – OLED Model – Red Edition” is the marketing designation for this particular iteration. This upcoming theme version draws inspiration from the traditional elements of Mario games.
While observers have noticed images of this themed Switch version, concerns about potential legal ramifications from Nintendo currently prevent us from sharing them. An undisclosed source has indicated that this themed Switch variant features a color change to red, with no bespoke “Super Mario Bros.” design elements incorporated into the main unit. Both the Joy-Con controllers and the Dock will adopt a red color scheme.
Specific details about the release date for the themed Switch variant remain uncertain at this time. Regarding pricing, we anticipate that it will closely align with the standard Switch OLED model, and we expect the retail price to be around £319.99.
