Nintendo in Japan will release a white Nintendo Switch (OLED model) that comes in a Mouthful Mode Kirby box. The box itself will not be able to absorb any of the Nintendo Switch’s capabilities or powers. It will cost 37,980 JPY (approximately $328.40) and will ship on March 24, 2022.

This Mouthful Mode Kirby Nintendo Switch box will only come with the white version of the console. As opposed to a normal Nintendo Switch, this version has a 7-inch OLED screen rather than an LCD one. The difference between the two is that the range of colors an OLED screen can display is wider than that of an LCD screen. The OLED model also has a wider stand so that you can more easily prop the Nintendo Switch up on a surface.

Mouthful Mode will be a new way for Kirby to get powers in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Instead of swallowing enemies and taking their abilities, Kirby can swallow appliances or machines to get powers based on them. For example, in the Nintendo Direct stream that showcased the game, Kirby quite literally turns into a car after he eats one.

The Nintendo Switch in the Mouthful Mode Kirby box will come out in Japan on March 24, 2022. Kirby and the Forgotten Land will launch worldwide on March 25, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch.
