New Nintendo DS Bundles Put a Colorful Spin on ‘Black Friday’

Limited-Edition Hardware Comes with Top-Selling Games

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The day after Thanksgiving might be known to holiday shoppers as “Black Friday,” but this year Nintendo is rewarding eager consumers with two brilliant splashes of color. On Nov. 28, Nintendo will release a duo of limited-edition Nintendo DSâ„¢ bundles, each pairing a Nintendo DS game title with a hand-held system in a bold new color. The Marioâ„¢ Red Nintendo DS bundle includes a red system emblazoned with a familiar M for Mario, and a copy of New Super Mario Brosâ„¢. The Ice Blue Nintendo DS comes with a custom carrying case and the popular Brain Ageâ„¢: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. Each bundle sells at an MSRP of $149.99.

Expected to rank high on holiday wish lists among first-time gamers and veteran players alike, the Mario Red and Ice Blue systems are the latest additions to Nintendo’s rich palette of distinctive Nintendo DS colors. As people across the nation make their way to malls and retailers for pre-holiday sales and events, shoppers are encouraged to act fast if they want to get their hands on these limited-edition bundles.

“Nintendo DS is both the most affordable and the most popular video game system in this generation,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “These limited-edition bundles make great gifts for first-time Nintendo DS players and collectors alike.”

The Mario Red and Ice Blue DS bundles won’t be the only stocking stuffers this season.
