Nintendo has announced the Mario Red Edition Nintendo Switch OLED, and it will launch in stores on October 6th.

It was revealed during Super Mario Bros. Ultimate. Wonder Direct today, the OLED comes with two red Joy-Cons, a red base, and some secrets hidden in the back And inside the console.

It’s simple and elegant, and we love the coins hidden behind the back panel. Pre-orders are available at the link below, and you’ll find some great close-ups of the console itself at the bottom of the page.

Will you get Mario Red Edition Switch OLED? Let us know in the comments.

An RPG lover first and a Nintendo fan second, Alana can often be found thinking a lot about battle strategies, characters, and stories. Fortunately, she’s also easily happy with anything related to Yoshi, the scary-but-cute Pokemon, and SEGA’s air pirates.

It looks good but nowhere near as good as Tears of the Kingdom OLED.

“It does the job” is a good way to describe this variant imo

I feel like it’s kind of eye-bleeding honestly. The red Joycons are pretty but the red controller and red dock are just garish.

The coins inside are a nice touch.

Why does every special edition have great details but when it comes to Mario, Nintendo always forgets how to add details and says “Oh, red! Looks like Mario’s color”

Mmm…it’s okay. Medium hand gesture

I mean, it’s fine… but since the colors are only red, I feel like it’s a bit of a missed opportunity, I think they could have put up pictures of the various Mario power-ups to promote the new game.

I feel like this way you can keep the red and now the son color is thrown in.

It’s neat but they do their best to hide Mario details, no fancy details, there’s nothing fancy about this mockup to promote Super Mario Bros Wonder, really.

A green Luigi version, a pink Peach version, or a yellow Daisy version would be more interesting, IMO.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the console itself being colored. I feel like this really limits the number of Joy-Con combos it can look good with.

Why are there 19 coins?

This is disturbingly different enough from the last red that it makes me want to add it to the collection…

Personally, I find the original Anniversary Edition red tablet to look really cool. This OLED looks less red around the bezel, but I think it gains a red undertone, which the original device stupidly lacked.

This new mario oled is eww

Red only for $360? This is lazy and overrated

I missed direct, do amiibo take it?

No mention of Wonder at all, not a gaming bundle, just a red OLED key.

There’s nothing wrong with the Switch being red, but launching it alongside Wonder without minimal connection to that game is Nintendo’s thing.🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s why we got Wonder Direct because it could have been a little late to announce it in mid-September during the live stream proper.
I think it would have made more sense to launch a Wonder-themed Nintendo Switch Lite model, but it’s possible they’re phasing out the Lite variants.

I’m so excited about the game, but this red color wouldn’t fit in my living room.

Well, but I like my version of Pokemon better haha.

The sidewalk should be blue. To match Mario’s clothes and make him look more interesting.

I’m disappointed Nintendo didn’t bother to make the tablet red like they did with the one in the Mario 3D World bundle.

@Sequel No amiibo. The direct stopped as if it had hit a brick wall after the switch appeared. The Direct was full of stuff though it’s worth watching, don’t think reading about it will do it justice.

@gcunit Average age of American conscripts fighting in Vietnam?

@BLAZINOAH The tablet looks red to me in the picture of the open back with the coins. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would have preferred a Switch lite in red instead.

I think the main reason this is being brought up is because Wonder will be shown at PAX West and Nintendo Live

@rjejr I just noticed the back, but why isn’t the red plastic on the front like the Mario 3D World tablet. Sheer laziness on Nintendo’s part.

I think they are trying to get rid of their final stock of Switches before the new Switch is released next year and rebrand with
Mario themed console.

What a weird easter egg. Just show something on the front of the dock to let people my keys are special edition i swear

As cool as I am, I already had Tears of the Kingdom, so no money for this game. Still getting the game though.

@Nintyname “But they’re probably phasing out the Lite variants”

What made you say this? In my mind, they phased out the $300 Switch and $350 OLED when they launched the $400 Super Switch, but kept the $200 Lite for the kids until the $300 Super Lite was ready a year or two after launch. Most games in the first year or two will probably be dual platform anyway, see Sony and MS.

@BLAZINOAH “Sheer laziness on Nintendo’s part”

I think you just answered your question, not a joke.

@KBuckley27 Where did you see $360? It’s the normal OLED price of $350 in the Nintendo Store (US).

They could have used more Mario stuff instead of just a little Mario in the corner and some coins plus some use of blue, that’s okay

I like coins you can never see D 😀
