Nintendo just announced a new Mario-themed Switch

Wa-hoo! The launch is coming soon! Super Mario Bros. WonderNintendo revealed that the Nintendo Switch with a Mario theme will launch on Oct. 6th. The console is available for pre-order on the Nintendo Store at $349.99.

It is the exact same price as the OLED Switch standard edition, with all the hardware including speakers, kickstands, an improved screen, etc. Both the console and the dock have a matte red paint finish. The back of dock has a silhouette featuring the plumber. While I think Nintendo should’ve kept this under wraps — console spoiler??? — opening the back of the dock reveals a small trove of coins, arranged as you’d find them in the warp pipe of World 1-1 from the original Super Mario.

Nintendo is quick to release special editions to coincide with some of the exclusive launches of their properties. So far, we’ve seen Switch OLED models sporting the themes modeled after Tears Of The Kingdom, Monster Hunter Rise, Pokemon Scarlet & VioletThen, Splatoon 3.. Personally, I’m holding my breath for a Kirby-themed OLED.
