Movie<\/strong> is just around the corner and while many of us were hoping for a brand new game from Nintendo to coincide with the release, it looks like we&#8217;re just going to have to settle for a Switch console bundle instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2023\/02\/rumour-new-switch-bundle-featuring-mario-movie-bonus-supposedly-launching-soon\">which was previously rumoured just a couple of weeks ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/mynintendonews.com\/2023\/03\/02\/quality-photos-emerge-of-mario-themed-nintendo-switch-system-for-mar10-day\/\">My Nintendo News<\/a>, a set of photos has been posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/SendMeDVaPics\/\">&#8216;SendMeDVaPics&#8217;<\/a> over on Reddit, who states that they are a Target employee and is currently in the process of shipping the bundles off to retailers. We get a good peek at the console bundle itself, which looks to be a standard Switch console &#8211; so no OLED treatment here &#8211; with red Joy-Con in place of the usual grey or neon red and blue. Owners will also get a choice of one of three Mario-themed digital titles: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/new_super_mario_bros_u_deluxe\">New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/mario_kart_8_deluxe\">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_mario_odyssey\">Super Mario Odyssey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in a nod to the new film, some Super Mario Bros. Movie sticker sheets are also included, which is&#8230; <em>fine<\/em>, we suppose.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\"><!-- cache: oembed\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/nintendosphere\/statuses\/1631181047944626177 @ 2023-03-02T21:47:04+00:00 --><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Nintendo Switch Bundle has Leaked for the Mario Movie! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Leak?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Leak<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NintendoSwitch2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NintendoSwitch2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SwitchPro?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SwitchPro<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Switch2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Switch2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Nintendo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Nintendo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Switch?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Switch<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gaming?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaming<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GamingLeaks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GamingLeaks<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MarioMovie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MarioMovie<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperMarioBrosMovie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperMarioBrosMovie<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperMarioMovie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperMarioMovie<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperMarioBros?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperMarioBros<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperMario?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SuperMario<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z20f7vkzXq\">pic.twitter.com\/z20f7vkzXq<\/a><\/span>\u2014 Nintendo Sphere (@NintendoSphere) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NintendoSphere\/status\/1631181047944626177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 2, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the first time Mario has received his own special edition Switch console, either.
