New Special Edition of Switch

Nintendo has been a pillar of innovation in the world of gaming for a long time, and while in recent years Nintendo has lost a bit of its edge over the years, Nintendo continues to chase unpaved paths of video gaming. Nintendo is giving its Switch console a fresh look.

Nintendo announced Tuesday that its Switch would be getting a makeover soon. While the Switch already dons a pretty coat of colors for the Red and Blue Edition, the console will be getting a fresh look with a new shade of brown. The long-standing gaming company revealed its new cardboard console on its website.

The console shines in its own way with a beautiful light brown coloration with its black keypad and joysticks. Don’t worry though, the console isn’t made out of cardboard and just is made to reflect the texture of the flimsy material.

Unfortunately, this is one console that can’t be bought. It’s the prize of a new contest from Nintendo for its Labo line of cardboard-based Switch peripherals. Nintendo Labo is its latest product line that assembles pre-cut sheets of cardboard into creations.

However, it may not seem attractive to everyone. The console isn’t anything but subtle about its origins. The cardboard prize features Nintendo Labo can be seen written in two places on the console, and they aren’t small branding. The brand centered its label onto the front of the console and the dock in big, bold letters.

After that, it’s just a Switch Console, but a cool one at that. Also for those devoted Nintendo followers, the Nintendo logo remains hidden on the back of the dock. The Switch definitely draws the consumer attention though with its sleek and unique design.

Now the details, you’ve been dying to know. The contest kicks off on July 19 at 2 p.m. ET and runs until Aug. 20 at 1:59 p.m. ET.  Nintendo will be accepting Youtube-entries of either creating a Nintendo Labo musical instrument or game. Participants then submit their creations to Nintendo. Two grand prize winners will be selected from North America while a number of others will be offered in other territories.
