A Special Edition Mario Nintedo Switch OLED Might Have Leaked

Mario is having pretty great year so far, with a successful movie under his belt and two big video games on the horizon. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first of the plumber's big adventures to come charging out the gates, and Nintendo has a standalone Direct taking place tomorrow which will give us a better look at the game in all its glory.

First reported by VGC, a new Nintendo Switch OLED model called the "Mario Red Edition" has been revealed by reputable insider billbil-kun, who you may recognise as the person who has been leaking PlayStation Plus titles online well before they hit the service for years. According to them, this Mario Red Edition OLED Switch will have two red Joy-Cons as well as a red dock, though there won't be any other Mario features or branding.

Unfortunately, we don't have a release date for the console just yet, but billbil-kun states in their report that "it is certain that it will be released before October".

It's pretty likely we'll get an announcement during the Direct tomorrow, similar to how the Zelda-themed Switch OLED was announced during a Tears of the Kingdom trailer.
