Today is Mario Day, and Nintendo is celebrating the completely fictional holiday with deals, a themed console bundle, and more.
MAR10 DAY brings NEW Mario Movie Switch Bundle, eShop deals, and more festivities!
Mario Day, or March 10 (MAR10), is a time to celebrate all things Nintendo's iconic red plumber. To that end, the company is offering a number of discounts on Mario-themed Switch titles. If Mario is featured prominently in the game, you're likely to see a $20 discount until March 23.
It’s worth noting that Nintendo rarely discounts its own first-party titles heavily, so $40 worth of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Super Mario Odyssey is the best you can get until the holidays next March, or in a bargain bin at some point in the future if the Switch is long overdue.
The festivities don’t stop there. Nintendo has also cooked up a themed console of sorts that comes with a free Mario game. This Mario-friendly Switch includes red JoyCon controllers and comes in a Mario-themed box. Otherwise, it’s a regular Nintendo Switch, though the $300 bundle does get you a free copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, or Super Mario Odyssey, and stickers from the upcoming The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
