October 12, 2005 - Not only is the Nintendo DS racing into the world of Wi-Fi with the release of Mario Kart DS, but Nintendo will release a new DS color -- and special bundle -- to celebrate. The company today announced the Red Hot Nintendo DS bundle, which includes a DS in a scorching new color, as well as a copy of Mario Kart DS.
For the suggested price of $149.99, the bundle gets you a Red Hot Nintendo DS, Mario Kart DS, a checkered-flag wrist strap, and racing-inspired decals to customize new red handheld.
The bundle is slated to hit stores November 28, just two weeks after Mario Kart DS hits the streets on November 14.
