A new Nintendo Switch Mario bundle will reportedly include a movie bonus
Nintendo will reportedly launch a Super Mario Odyssey Switch hardware bundle next month.
That’s according to highly reliable leaker billbil-kun, who claims the €269 ($287) bundle will launch in France on March 10, which is when Nintendo celebrates Mario Day (Mar10).
It’s said to include a previously released standard Switch console with red Joy-Cons, a digital code for Mario Odyssey, and something related to the Super Mario Bros. Movie, which hits cinemas in late March.
It’s unclear what the movie tie-in will be, but vouchers for cinema tickets is one possibility.
Mario Odyssey was released in 2017 and has sold over 25 million copies, according to Nintendo.
