Nintendo reveals Mario Red & Blue Edition Switch system
- Thread starter LukasManak22
- Start date
I mean, it's hard to say. Nintendo is weird, but logically speaking, this probably points to the "Pro" Switch either not being a thing or it being much further out than people are hoping/expecting. But like I said, Nintendo is oddball and Mario is a big franchise so who really knows.
What the...yep, but actually there was also this:
I never even knew this was a thing. I love this.
Yoooo are those the red joy cons from Japan/SMO bundle? I have two sets of those and they're absolutely gorgeous and make my Switch feel iconic as hell, so I'd be buzzin if there was a larger stock now for me to get replacements in future.
I think that is very intentional. Red on blue looks just a bit tacky. It's not like the OG model where the joycons are at least separated by the screen.
Nintendo marketing probably cares a lot about how it the Switch is perceived when people see somebody else playing one in public or on social media. I would guess the aim is "surprising and fun, but not too toy-like". So they have the blue accents on the parts nobody uses in public. I think the dock could have been blue though
Decent enough. Kinda like it, but not enough to swap my current system.
Like the joycons and it's straps though!
Yeah me to - Feels like they could have sell quite a bit of special editions.. but they havnt really done too many.
We havnt seen a new Pro Controller since the Smash one. What's up with that?

So far it appears this may be yet a THIRD shade of red, despite the previous red being described in Japan as "Mario Red." I'm trying to figure this out myself as I have a full, nearly-complete set of joycon (just missing those awful Thunderbolt Project ones, and the dev blacks) and a crippling addiction.
Seriously considering replacing my launch system with this guy, even though all the neon joy-con I have won't match whatsoever.

I really love the way it looks in the dock. Hopefully I don't have too much issue selling my launch Switch. (Small crack in the corner of the back.)
Yeah, that's what it really is. The blue is just on the accessories, which are used for support, like Mario's blue overalls.
No fixed antenna in the JoyCons, no purchase. They need to get onto a new hardware revision now.
Exactly. I would get this if not for the potential Pro :(
Why are they making new editions of the Switch or rather the joycons when they still haven't fixed them?
All well but... i honestly find the joycons in the holder hella ugly.
Partially its just that the chosen color hues kinda scream toy and ugly. the first mario switch had the better red, and this could work (for me) with a slightly darker blue.
AC switch is still king, and i want want want the joy cons, but still not for sale individually...
Februarry? man, my dream of a march switch pro is mute...
ok the old one looks waaaay better. more vibrant, more mario, more nintendo, the new one look (on this picture) to bright/pale in comparison

Japanese website says it a special design when the old one has a Red and Neon Red as their name
edit: comparison
Odyssey red
3D world red

Don't mock this beautifull profession interactive entertainment device.
There are people who have spent more than two years "waiting for the Pro because it will be there shortly".
The US Odyssey Switch Bundle from 2017 had its case officially available separately in Japan (similar to the Odyssey Joy-Con), which was once importable to the US for a reasonable price. Maybe that'll at least happen again.
I mean, shure, for those that dont have one... but if i have one, i dont see a point in buying a new version if its not a pro? =D
I mean in the fisher-price sense. Most video game consoles look a little more sleek than that.
Yeah, but it's still funny to read the same posts now as a year ago with the Animal Crossing edition.
Ooh. Ridiculous.Japanese website says it a special design when the old one has a Red and Neon Red as their name
edit: comparison
Odyssey red
3D world red
Welp, guess that's that. 5 Switches and 50+ joycon later...
well, the rumors of a switch pro started before we knew officially what the switch is, so checks out. (there where factory leaks with versions with higher clocks)
also: if they have enough to play so that they can wait for the optimal way to experience the highlights of the library...why not =D

Im actually still kinda sad that with so much potential for joy con designs, nintendo refuses to create a website with "build your own joycon set" for a 10€ price increase, and more color options. Just look what the aftermarket for joy con shells is offering, and they cant even sell the bundeled game specific on their online shop outside of japan.
