New DS Bundles Released For US ‘Black Friday’

In America, the day after Thanksgiving is called ‘Black Friday’. This is when all the retailers have a one day sale – it’s also the busiest shopping day of the year and officially marks the beginning of the holiday season. In anticipation of this, Nintendo have released two Limited Edition DS Lites which are both available for today from Amazon.com. Unfortunately, unless you live in the US you won’t be able to get them. This is what they are:  

 

Mario Red with a Mario M emblazoned on the front, which comes with Super Mario Bros

and

Ice Blue, bundled with Brain Age (ie Brain Training) and a matching DS Lite carry-case.

Visit Amazon.com for more info.

As always there are catchy songs and dance moves for the player to enjoy, as well as scenes from the film dispersed throughout. Click on the game below for more info, and for the hardcore fan there are a couple of High School Musical DS Lite Cases too!
