Looks like Walmart Canada has sold less than 200 online. They didn't send them to any stores here but I've seen people report they saw them in stores around the GTA and GVA but I can't see sales being significantly higher.

This one is definitely destined to be a dud.

It's a weird time to buy a Switch. Everyone that wanted one during the pandemic eventually got one once they became more available, and now you have next gen consoles that people are competing for. Plus there isn't anything noteworthy on the horizon with a solid release date. 3D World could push consoles during a different season, but not right now. If they did this last summer it would have broke records.

I think the mass re-release of the Animal Crossing one totally destroyed this one honestly. I think BB Canada alone sold over 15k of those ones.

Especially with the rumors of a new version of the switch on the horizon with increased power

I still don't believe that is a real thing tbh. But rumors don't have to be true to affect sales

Mario 3D World isn't compelling enough I'd rather replay Super Mario RPG instead thanks.

Is there anything unique about it or is it just a Mario color scheme?

The Animal Crossing and Pokemon special editions (reg and lite) had unique color schemes as well as themed prints on it.

The Mario one just....looks red and blue

I'll pick up my Switch again when Hollow Knight Silksong comes out.

There's not much else I care about otherwise.

It's just a Mario colour scheme. Even the kickstand on the back of the unit is still a regular black-coloured one lol.
