Super Mario Bros. Anniversary Bundles headed Stateside
Originally only announced in Japan, then Europe, and now finally North America, Nintendo is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. on the NES with specialty bundles just in time for the holidays on November 7th. The Wii bundle ($199.99) comes with a stylish coat of red paint as well as New Super Mario Bros. Wii in addition to the standard Wii Sports. This also marks the official release of the new Wii Remote Plus (39.99), a Wii remote with Motion Plus technology already built in–no need for extra dongles now! Expect this remote to become the norm from now on. The new remote will be bundled with the Wii as well as the upcoming game FlingSmash (49.99), a game that “combines the hands-on fun of tennis with the nonstop action and instant gratification of pinball.” Last but not least is the DSi XL bundle (179.99), again sporting the iconic red of Mario as well as three graphics–specifically, a mushroom, fire flower, and star. The handheld will come bundled with Mario Kart DS and will be pre-loaded with Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math, and Photo Clock. Not a bad way to celebrate the plumber’s 25th!
