i mean, we have enough Mario games on the switch. It would feel weird to have a Console with a Movie only design, and havign one with a special mario design for an old game NOW feels weird to.
Thats just the "if you havent bought one by now, you are only interested in playing mario for reasonably cheap after watching the movie".
Zelda special editions are nothing new. We had GBA, DS, 3DS, Wii U.
Switch kinda missed the oportunity with BotW (since it was the launch, no time for special editions), and Links Awakening was semingly not a big enough release. So TotK is the lst chance for that.
