Nintendo now selling Super Mario 3D World in a red case?

Rumor has it that Nintendo has started to sell Super Mario 3D World in a red case, much like Mario Kart 8.

Nice!

Stop the presses!SMB3DW now comes in a red case!News story of the century right here.

[LOL_WUT]

Game changer! ;)

Most of the Mario games have been released with red cases, so maybe they wanted to continue the tradition.

What I don't like though, is that they didn't change the color of the banner to red. They changed it to green for Super Luigi U, so it's not that they can't. It's a minor detail, but I don't like the way it looks.

And yet it got you to not only click on the headline ... but to comment as well. I would say ...

LoadedKilp,It was a joke,relax fellow gamer bro.I was just pointing out in the grand scheme of thing's this is a very small slow news day story.I didn't call it stupid or irrelevant.Why so serious?lol

Never understood why Nintendo went with a light blue for their consoles "colour" instead of red.

I always picture red for Nintendo, probably because of their logo.

Blue - Playstation
Green - Xbox
Red - Nintendo

I love when box art have a different colour separating them from the rest although the light blue surrounding the "Wii U" at the top of the box art spoils it

[MrSwankSinatra]

Honestly i think they should re-brand the wii u with the red color.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah, I don't see why Nintendo didn't do that with the Wii U

Black is so over done, a colourful console such as a red Wii U would of stood out from the rest.

Nintendo should do that with their next console.

[vakarian75]

I would rather they made all of their systems purple like the GameCube the purple they used looked so cool.

[NukaCola]

Nintendo should bring back the grey or purple.

The Red Stands out.

It's going to be for the games that sell a lot or are of higher quality like 3DWorld & Mario Kart 8.

I'm assuming eventually there will be a Smash Brothers Red Box as well.

Helps them stand out.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Just like PS2 back in the day "Greatest Hits"

[LAWSON72]

I believe the red box is to signify a game starring Mario (and co). Games that are apart of the so called greatest hits would have some kind of indication label to go with it. Nintendo actually has a branding for that kind of game called Nintendo selects though I dont think it has been used on Wii U

[TXIDarkAvenger]

The red looks weird since the Wii U border is blue. That's why I prefer the blue cases since it matches.

[3-4-5]

Yea true, but it seems like kind of the same thing, but only for Mario games.

[LAWSON72]

I have always thought
PS as red (i just always recall the ps3 as red)
Nintendo as blue
and of course Xbox as green

[thehobbyist]

PS3 covers were red at one point. It also had the Spiderman font for Playstation.

[randomass171]

I agree. I think a new red Wii U is in order when Smash comes out. Though I wonder how people would have reacted if the default color for Wii U had been red.

[ScottyHoss]

I think a new GameCube is due, we need a powerful traditional gaming console from Nintendo, no more gimmicks, and they should make the cases RED or old school purple with a controller resembling a cube controller. I miss good Nintendo :(

[Geobros]

Wow!!! That colour fits better...:o

[Summons75]

Don't change the color. The light blue looks so nice. Save red for the really special games or the Nintendo Selects again.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

If they do that, Nintendo better change the Wii U border to red.

[GamingSinceThe80s]

Is SMB3DW not a special enough game to earn a red case to you?

[Summons75]

Well no but why start changing everything when the light blue is already branded and well known.

[Metallox]

Why do they keep the blue color of the Wii U logo part? It makes an ugly contrast with the red line.

[bass4g]

It's because that's not the original box colour and/or because they make them with blue boxes as well.

[randomass171]

Default Wii U packaging? It really does clash but at least the case itself looks nice.

[HollywoodLA]

Red, the color of communism. Where is your hammer and sickle?

[Metallox]

Mario is Stalin.

[randomass171]

Next episode of Game Theory...

[vakarian75]

It's like on the Wii where new super Mario brothers had a red box.

[ritsuka666]

Best game of WII U IMO.

[knifefight]

Huge news. Earth shattering. Don't know what I'll do now; this changes all of my plans.

[dillhole]

Breaking: Nintendo to re-issue entire Wii-U catalog in red - buy them all again.

[LOL_WUT]

I prefer the blue cases they look a lot cooler ;)

[MegaRay]

This will defiantly boost sales /s
What next? Sony now selling Infamous in black case-rumor?
lol this is pathetic even for n4g

[Rimeskeem]

Not to be a downer or any of that but why should we care?

[RosweeSon]

Bit late this only launched in oct/nov after all.

[linkenski]

Super Luigi 3D World confirmed.
