Reminder: The 'Mario Red Edition' Switch OLED Is Out Today, Will You Be Getting It?

I'm still happy with my Day 1 Switch. Works like a charm.

Unless there's a hidden Switch 2 inside all that red, then no.

It's a bit too red

Even if I didn’t own a switch, this just wouldn’t be it, it’s just so…red and boring….mario isn’t just red, ad some blue or something.

No. Now if it was green.....

@Grail_Quest Oh yes I would really want it then!

I’ve been resisting the Zelda OLED with all my might, knowing I’ll regret making a small upgrade when the real upgrade has to be around the corner 🤞 (The Mario one doesn’t tempt me at all but I’m sure there’s a demographic for it)

I’m just going out to Walmart for a few things, I’ll see if I can spot it..

Splatoon 3 OLED will carry me into the warm embrace of Switch 2.

i just cant believe they are getting 350 for this thing still/now.

I paid 300.00 for mine in 2020, and ill be damned if im gonna spend the same kind of money for the same thing 3+ years later. unreal.

also, no, i wont be buying this. it's horrible.

post vote edit - this poll could almost be renamed "do you have disposable income?"

Give me a Yoshi one and I'll triple dip. Not this one.

nope. no. not. zero.

They dipped this Switch into tomato sauce 😭

I may not be happy with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as games (maybe that'll change if there's ever a way to play them with competent performance), but I'm perfectly happy with the Scarlet/Violet OLED. Not sure why Mario always gets the lame console bundles now, and I already have Mario red Joy-Con to begin with from the regular Switch model I once used.

Eh, nope.
I prefer White color instead.

🎶 I would like a Switch "2" day, please! 🎶 😉😁

I'd be tempted by a nice Metroid one, maybe Fire Emblem, but not by... This. I have a white OLED, the Splatoon and the Zelda one. I think that's (more than) enough.

I'm guessing most people on this site already own a Switch.

The model is awesome, but I do already have the original red Mario Switch. So I'll be skipping this.

Like heck I am. I already got the basic white OLED. And I only had it for 7 lousy months. So if I DID buy it...I'm basically burnin' money for no reason other than just owning it.

So...nope.

I will buy from amazon.co.jp. It cost only $292 (including shipping but no tax), if you buy from american store, it will be around $380

Honestly even if I didn't already have an OLED I'd choose pretty much any other one on the market over this one. It's just a really eyebleeding color and what design elements it does have aren't really interesting at all.

This thing is just lazy.

When I got the email about this, for a split second I thought it was the “switch 2”.

I’m a fan of the detail inside the dock. But I never felt compelled to buy an OLED model anyway (only playing on the TV), let alone now.

My OGSwitch is still doing okay, my kid who uses it would disagree! I got the OGOLEDSwitch which is also fine.

Think I'm okay to hold out on Switch's until Switch 2 arrives.

Looks so good. I would like to have one as colourful, but I am also happy with my day one Switch. This edition reminds me of my red Wii.

Please Nintendo release the Switch successor with some lively colours.

I'll stick with white. I'm hoping Switch 2 keeps the white colour scheme because it looks so nice next to a PS5. It pleases my eyes.

I've ordered 14.

I bought this when it came out as non-OLED. I don't need more Switches

@WalterHW despite me having to replace joycons every 10-14 months so I'm happy the Switch is modular enough to even allow this but also still angry at Nintendo for seemingly ignoring this. Although my last Joycon seems to hold up a bit better...

depite collectors or kids getting a switch for xmas I guess this won't be a huge thing as at least most more geeky gamers might already wait for the S2.

If my Day 1 Switch broke for some reason I'd probably get one but otherwise it's a pretty pointless "upgrade"

Especially at this late stage of the Switch's life.

This product is basically either for special edition collectors or people who have more money than sense.... Either that or they're trying to hook the last 5 or 6 people on earth who haven't already bought a Switch

While I do like the red and black color scheme, I've already got an OLED so I can't imagine why I would buy this one. Not 7 years in, that's for sure.

Imagine being so rich you clicked the "I already own too many Switch" option. How can people afford multiple of one console just because of something like a red variant and not feel guilty for not buying something more important instead.

@Member_the_game I mean, Switch hasn't topped PS2 in sales or close..

Nope. Perfectly happy with my crystal clear switch with old school coloured buttons, thank you very much.

Just sooo much red………..

@Porky

I hope it does pass PS2 sales one day, I really mean that. Would be fully deserved if it does.

The last paragraph of my previous post was just a joke, obviously there are more than 5 or 6 people still yet to buy a Switch.

I do stand by the point though that if you already have a Switch this product isn't really a worthwhile upgrade unless your a collector of some sort

I can see these models appealing to folks who do not yet own a Switch... but for me to spend that much on 'we made it red'... no. It's kinda lazy. Funko does the same thing with a lot of its Pops. "Look, we took the existing model and... made it a single primary color! Money, please."

I have the Mario Red + Blue edition of the original Switch model. I did want this one to match, but I'd just bought the Zelda OLED version and the only really special thing about this version is the original colour of the dock.

This Super Mario Nintendo Switch Oled İ love this, Nintendo Switch Tears of the Kingdom Oled and Nintendo Switch Splatoon 3 Oled İ love it. The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Nintendo Switch Oled, no İ do not like that one the design is the problem for me. The design İ can not love it.

No İ will not get this one, too much money.

At this point I'm saving for either the switch successor or one of the windows portable consoles, I've not decided yet.

I do like this red switch a lot but I’ll wait until I hear more about its successor. If super switch isn’t backwards compatible then I may get this one. I will have to replace my original at some point I’d imagine.

Too much red 7.9

I'm glad I don't have the money or desire for this one: it's fugly.

The red isn't doing it for me, man. I'm quite happy with the Switch I have now, though, so it's a non-issue for me.

Bought the Zelda OLED Switch a few months back. Sold my Day One OG Switch to a friend, was still in great condition. This Switch will do me for a good few years.

Got Splatoon, Pokémon, TOTK OLED waiting for Switch 2.

Already bought the Zelda TotK Switch (which looks way better imo).

I just bought my first OLED second hand last month and got a good price on it. It's the one with white joy cons and I prefer the look of that to the red mario one.

For anyone with the original switch who's never used an OLED - I didn't think I'd care about the differences, but practically everything on the OLED model is better by 5-10% and it adds up to a very impressive handheld that I couldn't recommend more. Even little things like the kick stand, the way the joy cons click into place, it all feels much more solid and substantial

I would like to own an OLED but it's very late in the OG Switch life and I can't justify the money based on how little I use it out of the dock. It looks nice though!

I don't like Mario so it's a big pass for me

Me and my spouse already have our own Switches, there's no need for a third one in this household. And with the next Nintendo console probably coming out next year, I'd rather save my money for that.

Nah i already own one, don't need another one just because its red.

I need a Switch 2 though, if it was a Switch 2, id be first in line, but Alas, its a red version of something i already have, not interested.

With the Splatoon 3, Scarlet + Violet & TOTK editions being so darn pretty, why on earth would you buy this one, its just so uninspired, even if they kept it the same but added a big mario logo on the front of the dock it would be better. I have 7 different SpEd switches and even i'm not bothered by this one, that's gotta say something about how bad this design is.
I work in a game store and we've sold none so far, people aren't interested, its bad enough that they don't come with the games, at least they usually look nice

This definitely has an uphill battle. It's so late in the Switch's lifecycle. This is either for dedicated collectors or somebody who needs to replace a broken Switch. Otherwise it's aimed at a Mario fan who hasn't already bought a Switch... Not sure how many of those people are out there?

That said, I love the red, even though others seem to think it's boring. Red and blue would have been pretty awesome too. So, although I won't be getting one (and am not sure who it's aimed at), I still really like it.
