Nintendo Announces 25th Anniversary Bundles; Wii Remote Plus Now Comes Standard

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the original NES and gaming’s most famous plumber, Nintendo has revealed new Wii and DSi XL bundles coming to store shelves November 7.


The anniversary Wii bundle includes a limited edition Wii painted red with matching red Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk, a copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and a copy of Wii Sports, all for $199.99.

The DSi XL bundle, which will run you $179.99, comes with a similarly colored DSi XL, but is also sports some Super Mario Bros. art on it as well. It also includes a copy of Mario Kart DS, and the standard preloads: Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math, and Photo Clock.

Nintendo also announced that the recently revealed Wii Remote Plus, which is just the original Wii Remote with Wii Motion Plus built in, will now become the standard controller included with all new Wiis and bundles, in addition to being available for $39.99 on its own.

FlingSmash, a new tennis/pinball inspired title, will be among the first new bundles to include the new Wii Remote Plus. The bundle wil cost $49.99.

(We recently celebrated Nintendo's big anniversary ourselves by sharing our favorite NES memories. Only a few of them were tinged red though.)

    Hmm...With all the new titles that Nintendo is releasing (that I really want) I think it's time to re-purchase the Wii. What a coincidence! There is one bundled with a game I want to purchase!

    Dammit Nintendo!! Stop taking my money!! Definitely gonna have to fight the urge to buy a THIRD Wii... I just got a black one I didn't need a couple months ago and now this... thanks a lot. I love the design on the DSi XL, had it been a regular DSi I might've been inclined to get it, even though I don't need another one of those either :D

    I'd rather see them put that 25th Anniversary Super Mario collection in with this. That would probably seal the deal for me.

    This is why Nintendo will probably come in first again in holiday sales. I've gone long enough without owning a Wii, this might just be the little push I needed to convince me to buy one. I mean c'mon, a Mario Red Wii with two games for 200 bucks!! Anyone who grew up with a Nintendo and Super Mario Bros, should own this system....GREAT DEAL!!

    I think this is God's way of telling me to stop procrastinating and get a Wii already.
