While an image of the device was not shared due to legal restrictions, there was a description given. Instead of a design, the new Switch OLED will have a color scheme, inspired by the world of Mario. It will have two red Joy-Cons as well as a red dock. What has really surprised fans is that there will not be any Mario branding on the console.

However, the red color is enough to remind players it is their favorite Italian plumber who saves Princess Peach. Apart from the Joy-Cons and the dock, there is also speculation the back of the console will be consistent with the red color scheme.
