Nintendo reveals Mario Red & Blue Edition Switch system

Kinda, but also why not. the most ridiculous part is if they post it every time that they will wait.
Kinda tempted to just do a Gamestop trade-in instead of bothering with selling it myself. Bleh.
I thought the same about the Switch, but unless I'm mistaken, this IS the first custom grip.yep, but actually there was also this:
It really, really looks like the plain old Neon Red to me.
If Joy-Cons are important but not the straps, I'd pre-order but wait for unboxings.
That's essentially my current plan. I will order the full set in the US when it goes up, then order just the joycon if they're made available separately in Japan. I will cancel the full set if Japan comes through. Looking at the pictures and comparing neon to red to these, it does seem to be a slightly different shade, and the Japanese site calls them "special design" - Joy-Con（L）/（R）（特別デザイン）

Gotta agree. That looks like it belongs in a kids playroom next to the cone that you put rings on.
The 3DS got a MH themed hardware. I expect that Nintendo, will offer a MH themed Switch too. Chances of that seem high to me. Maybe the last coloured switch bundle before the Switch Pro comes out
Nintendo definitely didn't put much thought into this. Not enough red and blue contrast. No Mario art or patterns. As it looks like, once you go portable, it's a plain red Switch.

System and joycons should've been blue along with the patterns etched from the case. Come on Nintendo! 🙄
It's fine to use a pro controller or third party ones, but that doesn't make the joy cons less of a broken product.
I was wondering what the next joycon colors would be, and they're a slightly different shade if red, haha.
My biggest hope is with BOTW 2 (or maybe with the rumored Zelda Collection) that they'll do a gold joycon bundle. Either that or Metroid themed ones.

Okay I didn't mean to start an argument or anything, sorry if my joke made it seem so.
"Broken" is a loose term. They certainly work as intended, and for most cases, a long time. They just have a flaw that makes them become broken.
In my opinion, the true "broken" aspect is Nintendo's response to the issue.
No problem. I realize that my initial post can be read as a joke.
We can definitely agree that Nintendo's response to the issue is very broken. I'm concerned as to how Nintendo will take the philosophy of "ignore issues / offer repairs / keep producing more of the same shit" to their future products.
So far nothing has topped the Animal Crossing one. I feel like eventually they'll make an amazing Zelda one, though.
Had the colors been the other way around with a blue switch and joy cons I'd be all over this. Not big fan of red though.
Reminds me of the red Wii revision. Holding out for the (in my mind) inevitable Bayonetta 3 Pro Edition.
Yeah. Hopefully no further, but they're going to do what they see benefits them in the long run.
