The Mario Red Nintendo Switch OLED Is Back In Stock With A Big Discount At Amazon

The red Mario Red Nintendo Switch OLED is back in stock at Amazon at a pretty big discount. Customers in the US can grab the console for just $299 (was $350). Not only is this the first major discount we've seen for the Switch OLED Mario edition, but it's also been frequently out of stock since launching last October alongside Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Chances are this deal won't be around for long, making this the perfect opportunity to pick one up. Note that stock and pricing appear to differ depending on your region, so the deal may not be available to everyone.

If you want to pair the Mario Red Switch OLED with a game featuring the famous plumber, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is available for $48 (was $60) at Walmart. You can create your own side-scrolling stages in Super Mario Maker 2, which is down to $40 (was $60). For role-playing game fans, Super Mario RPG is up for grabs for $40 and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is $53 (both are normally $60).

If you're looking for more special edition Nintendo Switch models--or if you miss out on the discount--there is also the upcoming gold Legend of Zelda edition Switch Lite available for preorder. The console launches on September 26 alongside the latest games in the Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which is also available to preorder. If you pick up the game from Best Buy, it even comes with a collectible acrylic figure display set.

For those who prefer the full-size Switch models, Nintendo also announced new Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundles will launch in October. The bundles will include either a standard Nintendo Switch with red and blue Joy-Con, or a Switch OLED model with white Joy-Cons, plus a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-month subscription card for Nintendo Switch Online (normally $4/month). Nintendo Switch Online lets you play a huge selection of games online--including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe--and gets you access to a huge library of classic NES, SNES, and GameBoy games. The exact release date for the bundles has yet to be revealed, but Nintendo confirmed standard Switch plus Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle will cost $300, while the Switch OLED bundle will be available for $350.

While we'll have to wait a bit longer for the new Switch bundles and special Zelda edition Switch Lite, the new console will arrive just in time for Nintendo's holiday game releases, including Mario Party Jamboree on October 17 and Mario & Luigi: Brothership on November 7. And while it's possible Nintendo will unveil a new Switch successor console in the near future, there are still numerous notable Nintendo Switch exclusives on the horizon--plus an awesome back catalog--that make grabbing the console worth it, including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which all release in 2025.
