Nintendo's Mario-themed Switch is now available (and comes with a free game)
The special edition console runs $299.99.
www.theverge.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on available information up to now.
- The Nintendo Switch Mario Choose One Bundle originally launched around MAR10 Day (March 10) 2023. It included a standard Nintendo Switch with red Joy-Con, plus a free Mario game download of your choice (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, or Super Mario Odyssey) and some Mario-themed stickers.[1][5]
- Availability varied by retailer and region, with listings at major retailers and Nintendo’s store at the time, though stock was limited and often sold out quickly.[3][5]
- If you’re considering purchasing, prices historically hovered around $299–$300 USD at launch, but current prices can differ due to stock, region, and any reissues or reprints.[4][1]
- There have been several retrospective mentions and price-tracking pages to monitor current values and availability, but those reflect past bundles rather than ongoing, active general releases.[6][8]
Recommendation
- If you’re in Lisbon, Portugal, check local retailers (including Nintendo’s official store for Canada mentioned in the sources, but search locally for PT availability) and major electronics retailers for any MAR10-era bundles or Mario-themed Switch bundles that may have reappeared or been reissued. Availability outside North America tends to be limited and can vary by country.
Illustrative example
- A typical MAR10-era bundle offered three full Mario games as digital download options and red Joy-Con controllers, which made it a value pick for Mario fans at launch.[5][3]
If you’d like, I can search for current Portugal/Europe availability and pricing for any “Mario Choose One” or similar Mario-themed Switch bundles and provide direct purchase options with up-to-date stock status.
