New Mario Kart DS Bundle

On Nov. 28, Nintendo will offer a special bundle of the new Wi-Fi-enabled Mario Kart DS racing game with the fifth new Nintendo DS color, Hot Rod Red. The package will be available for $149.99, for a savings of about $15. The Hot Rod Red DS will come with a checkered-flag wrist strap and a series of racing-inspired decals to let owners customize their rides with sporty numbers or red-hot flames.

Mario Kart DS will be the first Nintendo game to take advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo’s free wireless gaming service. DS owners will be able to race one another wirelessly using high-speed Internet connections at home or at Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection hotspots. With more than 30 new and classic racetracks, racers will be able to show their style as they aim for the finish line. Mario Kart DS, Rated E for Everyone, launches on Nov. 14. www.nintendo.com
