This new Nintendo Switch Mario Red and Blue model was unveiled alongside a brand new trailer for the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury bundle. Both the new console and the game will release next month on February 12, and you can check out the trailer that released earlier today for the two games just below.
For those that don't know, the Super Mario 3D World part of the bundle is a re-release of an original Wii U game, whereas Bowser's Fury is a brand new game. The latter title sees Bowser turning into a gigantic monstrosity, and it looks like Mario will be doing some Gigantamaxing of his own next month in order to take Bowser down.
Right now, there isn't specific pricing information for the Mario Red and Blue version of the Nintendo Switch. However, an educated guess puts this bundle as releasing at the standard Nintendo Switch price point of $299.99.
