Those of you holding your breath for North American release confirmations of the Red Wii, red DSi XL and Wii Remote Plus, you can breathe out now
Coming Stateside on November 7th, the red Wii comes with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports and a red Remote Plus and Nunchuk, but like its European counterpart doesn't come with MotionPlus-enabled pack-in Wii Sports Resort.
The red DSi XL, as leaked by Walmart, comes with Mario Kart DS and DSiWare trio Photo Clock, Brain Age Express: Math and Brain Age Express: Arts and Letters pre-installed on the system.
Wii Remote Plus also lands on the same day, available in black, white, blue and pink for $39.99.
Lastly, the long-awaited FlingSmash will make its first appearance on – you guessed it – the same day, November 7th.
Will you be picking up any of these delightful new treats?
Red Wii Bundle: This limited-edition Wii hardware comes in beautiful red to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game. The bundle includes New Super Mario Bros.™ Wii and a new red Wii Remote Plus controller, in addition to all the other included items, like Wii Sports™ and a red Nunchuk™ controller. It will be available while supplies last at a suggested retail price of just $199.99.
Red Nintendo DSi XL Bundle: This special-edition Nintendo DSi XL bundle is also red in honor of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. and features three iconic Super Mario Bros.-themed graphics. The bundle comes with Mario Kart™ DS, which looks gorgeous on the extra-large screen. That’s in addition to the pre-loaded software of Brain Age™ Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math and Photo Clock. It will be available while supplies last at a suggested retail price of just $179.99.
Wii Remote Plus: This new controller combines the original, iconic Wii Remote™ controller with built-in Wii MotionPlus functionality. The compact Wii Remote Plus controller offers players precision motion controls all in one unit. It becomes the new standard Wii controller, and will be available from now on in all Wii hardware packages and bundles, as well as sold separately at a suggested retail price of $39.99.
FlingSmash™ Bundle: The new Wii game combines the hands-on fun of tennis with the nonstop action and instant gratification of pinball. It requires use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, so it seemed natural to bundle it with the new Wii Remote Plus controller. For a suggested retail price of $49.99, shoppers get to enjoy both the game and the controller in one package.

Mark Kart? Anyway these are great for the Black Friday deals
Walmart listed the DSi XL bundle as such:
Well, what a surprise. After all the moaning of the Americans, it turns out you get the deal when we do AND it's even better!
EDIT: I read it wrong, the deal is exactly the same.
WHAT? Now it doesn't even come with Mark Kart? These chumps at Nintendo need to make up their minds before I spend any more of MY hard earned dollars on them!
Well, we still have the Mario All-Stars thing to be announced too, remember. I'm sure it'll be any day now though.
Thank goodness! Now all we need is the anniversary collection. I think it would be a little odd if Nintendo didn't give us the most obvious 25th anniversary item...
@bboy2970 they haven't said anything about not releasing Super Mario All-Stars just yet. There's still a chance that it might come here.
Told you so.
Now the only thing left that I'd wanna know pertains to the data on my current Wii and DSi. Can anyone ask Nintendo if they'll be transferrable to the anniversary units? I think that would matter to most people here that are considering purchasing these units. Thanks in advance.
@sykotek: Let me save you the trouble: no, you can't. I tried the same thing when the black Wii came out. The only way you'll get your data transfered to a new console is if the current one is busted. And even then I'm sure they would just give you the same color you had. I personally am just buying this system as a shelf piece, never to be opened.
So, no hacked SMB for the red Wii over here?
@bboy2970
Enjoy your insane price mark-up when you sell it on eBay sometime in the future.
I will be picking up the new wiimote with Fling Smash.
Here's a solution: beat up your Wii, claim it was an accident, send them both Wii consoles (including the red one) and tell them to switch the data over. It's sure to succeed!
PS: I take no responsibility for any mishaps
Now we just need that Wii Super Mario All-Stars
Oh gorrammit, just give us the Anniversary game already.
How many are they making? With such a wide release it's not going to be all that collectible. It's not like a Mother 3 Gameboy Micro.
Man that red DSi XL is really tempting, especially with my DS lite's hinge being broken and Golden Sun coming out soon. I already have MKDS, so I wonder how much I could get for selling a brand new copy? Hmmm. It's hard to justify buying it when the 3DS is coming out in a few months.
So well have to wait till 2011 for Mark kart?
YES! THIS IS AWESOME! I was SO hoping it'd come to the US!
So you all complain about not getting the Red Wii, then when you do get it, you don't want it?
I would love a red Wii. Anyone want to trade???
Side note: Wii Remote Plus colors for America will be White, Black, Pink, and Blue. The Press Room has images of them so that's like an implied confirmation.
@WarioFan63 Thanks for that
It would be cool if we could buy the red Wii Remote Plus separately. but i guess we'd have to buy another Wii. Well, I can get another one. Who doesn't have two Wii's anyway? well, actually, no, I probably won't get another Wii, once I think about it
Yes! Yes! YES! Bring on Super Mario All-Stars Special Pack and I'm all set!
YES!!!!
These bundles are ok.
The DS should've came with New Super Mario Bros, seems strange to celebrate Mario with Mario Kart DS.
And the Wii bundles doesn't come with Wii Sports Resort, yet comes with the Wii Remote Plus when ironically you don't need MotionPlus to play either game.
I still praise Nintendo for replacing the old remotes, hopefully this will push more and more developers to make MotionPlus a standard.
Man I want both the red wii and dsi XL, just how will i be able to afford it!? (i guess its time to look for a job)
NA always gets the best stuff.
I hate EU.
Yes now we just need to get the super mario all stars pack and good club nintendo stuff like the snes controller.
Yaaaaaaay!!!! I have been waiting expectantly for this announcement! Fingers crossed for the Mario All Stars Collection....
Oh, wait. Am I supposed to care about this?
Will probably get FlingSmash w/ WiiMote+, although if there's a cheaper option w/o the WM+ I might go for that instead, but it doesn't look like there is.
@34:
Naw. Not so much....
Don't miss out in the All-Stars Collection news story due out any time though.
I know this was a given, but Super Mario All-stars has been OFLC rated, thus confirming a local release here.
Wow, that Red bundle is a great deal, for anyone who doesn't have a Wii yet.
HOLY CRAP THAT"S ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
I'm Happy for North Amercia, At last guys!! all you need now is Super Mario All-Stars!! I bet you that will be announced soon. I am actually happy for Noth Amercia and I live in the UK.
fishman100 You will celebrate two Birthday's! ENJOY
I knew I should have waited to buy a Wii. Really sad they aren't going to at least sell the red Wiimote plus separately.
What did we tell you Americans? You got everything you moaned about minus SMAS which will be announced soon enough. I would kill for that red remote but we dont have it here.
So no mention of a preloaded game? (Japan got a 25th Anniversary ROM hack, Europe got Donkey Kong.)
Well time to save up to get both! I won't be opening either one though.
Hotcakes are coming..lol. These will all sell tons. I might have to import the RED Wii Remote Plus controller. I have my account ready so I will put in the order soon.
@ ReRun I'd like to buy the two packs too!
Can't wait I'm hoping my local supermarket will stock these, I can spend my loyailty points only for one of them.
I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't announce Super Mario all-Stars as a footnote to the 'red' announcement. I can't believe that they havn't included a built in game but come on North Amercia this is great NEWS for you guys! i'd like to know what Nintendo will do about the black Limited Edition Wii's. I would like to buy a red Wii but I'm worried that the big N will announce blue Wii's next year, I'd rather have a blue one. I'm not sure how long Nintendo can keep bringing out new colours...
I think the red DSi XL should've also been pre loaded with the Mario Clock and Calculator. Well, the SMAS Anniversary set is coming out in Europe, the special edition DSi XL and Wii are coming out there and here, so a US release of All Stars seems much more likely!
@NintendoWorld1 -I'd also like a blue Wii, though I like this red one! Heck, I'll take any color offered other than white! But I already have a Wii and it works fine!
What Caliko said:
And the Wii bundles doesn't come with Wii Sports Resort, yet comes with the Wii Remote Plus when ironically you don't need MotionPlus to play either game.
My mother is buying my sisters family a Wii for Christmas and I'm not sure I'ld tell her to get this one over the black one with Sports resort.
Is WiiRemotePlus listed anywhere yet for $39.99? I still haven't opened my blue and pink $49.99 controllers yet and I'ld return them to save $10 each and not deal with the Plus cover during battery exchange.
American Heart Association approved? o.O
(take another look at the box)
What does the "Mario Game Included" sticker stands for ?? NSMBW ?? or the 25th Anniversary NES SMB ??
Thanks Nintendo, but I won't purchase another console I already have, until I can move/migrate my data to my newer console. Work on that, then see me later.
It's good we NA gamers finally got this stuff. All-Stars may be around the corner, just yet. Shame it's just a rom of All-Stars on a disk. I'll still want it, though.
Edit: I'll probably get it w/ a partial gift card I still have from my b-day.
This red wii should have been released at launch. Then I would have gotten it. I'd love to get it now if I could transfer all those hundreds of $ worth of downloads.
@rjejr
If ur still reading. That's a tough choice between those 2 bundles. Depends on whether there more into motion sports games or if they grew up with mario games.
And yes it's been confirmed that Wii Remote Plus will retail for $39.99! Great value.
Darn, too bad we didn't get the All-Stars game. The DSi XL and red Wii are awesome, but I am not going buy something I already own (though I have a DSi, not an XL).
Omega RED
WHY they dont deserver it they just complained and bagged nintendo coz they didnt get it australia deserves it when is it coming it here
Stop complaining bout all stars this is better then nothing
I'm getting the Plus for one reason: Skyward Sword.
Well it's been a few days since this was announced but still no mention of All-Stars from NOA. It's really a shame because I have very fond memories of playing that game and I would've definately bought the collectors pack, as I'm sure many of you would have also. Nintendo, you really, REALLY suck.
relax, we'll get it in time. :3
I just saw this the other day in the back room of where I work.
