Nintendo’s getting in the black friday spirit this year with two new orange and green DSi bundles. They seem like an odd color choice, but we are just happy to have variety. The bundles commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. games and come with Mario Party DS.

The bundles will be available on November 26th aka Black Friday for $199.99. So, which one do you want? Let us know in the comments below.

September 13th marked the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. so Nintendo is introducing special editions of the DSi and DSi XL to celebrate. Sadly these consoles are for Japan only. The big N will also be launching a Super Mario Collection Special Pack alongside.

The pack includes a version of Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii, a soundtrack CD, and a “Super Mario History, 1985 to 2010″ booklet with some extra materials like initial development planning sheets handwritten by Shigeru Miyamoto. Also for Japan only.

Nintendo is cutting the price of the DSi to $149.99 and the DSi XL to $169.99 (down $20 each) on September 12 in North America. They already dropped prices in the UK and Japan in June.

We still have no word what the 3DS will cost when it arrives, but we should get an announcement at the end of this month. In the meantime the big N will be selling tons of these models.

The Nintendo Wii has exercised our bodies and now it aims to work out those facial muscles as well with this game that requires you to use your face to control it. The DSi Ware game called “Kao Glider” (Face Glider in English) allows you to control a hang glider with just your face.

As it flies around the skies, the camera captures your facial expressions and translates them into a gaming movement (up, down and around). It might just make your face sore and tone it up so that these games replace plastic surgery one day.

We know that Japan has some new colors for its DSi XL, but we weren’t sure if we would be getting any new colors here in the States. Well, it looks like we are and that color is Midnight Blue. I know, it’s very underwhelming isn’t it?

In Japan they are getting yellow, blue and green, but apparently we just get this blue version, which leaves us feeling blue too. when it’s released in July.

We told you back in March about how McDonald’s was going to start training their employees using the Nintendo DS. It’s an interesting idea. And if you are wondering just how it works, we have a video after the jump.

The device being used is the Nintendo DSi, one that features the familiar golden arches. The training is like playing Cooking Mama, but for your fast food corporate masters.

As if we needed yet another ebook reader on the market. Well, the DSi XL’s larger display could be good for reading some classics. Nintendo knows that there’s money in the ebook market so they will be offering a downloadable package of ebooks called 100 classic books.

It will hit Wii channels on June 14th for $20. Then you can take a break from gaming to read some actual literature. Maybe some Mark Twain or Dickens. Assuming that they offer anything of that quality anyway.

Nintendo has just announced that its new DSi XL (The DSi LL in Japan) will be hitting North America on March 28th for $190. You get a few extra mm of thickness and a much larger screen with two 4.2-inch LCDs.

At launch it will be available in Burgundy and Bronze, preloaded with two DSiWare Brain Age games, Photo Clock, Flipnote Studio and the DSi Browser. Those in Europe will be getting the XL on March 5th. What do you think? Are you getting one?

The new Nintendo DSI was launched in Japan in October, where it was called the DSI LL. Well, it will be available in the UK and Europe from the 5th of March onwards, and will be called the Nintendo DSI XL.

The Nintendo DSI XL boasts two 4.2 inch screens, which are 93% bigger than the screens on the current Nintendo DSI Lite, and of course it also comes with a larger stylus to accompany that screen space. The DSI XL also features a wider viewing angle, and comes pre-loaded with “Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function” and “Dr Kawashima’s: Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition”.

Satoru Iwata recently announced that the next DS will have a motion sensor, but that isn’t all. He also told Asahi that it will have a higher-resolution screen. An HD screen.

The next DS, after the DSi XL, will feature a 1024 x 768 screen, which close to 720p. Aside from that, Iwata also confirmed that Nintendo is in talks with several networks for connected DS consoles. Obviously they want to compete with iPhone games. Our guess is that an app store will also accompany these upgrades.

Ahhh Black Friday. That special day when people knock other people down and stampede over them at 6 AM in order to get a great deal. If you’re looking for a Black Friday deal, look toward the Nintendo DSi. There are a few DSi bundles available, one is a metallic blue edition that comes with five Mario-themed DSiWare apps. Aside from that, there are three titles in this bundle: Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Dr. Mario Express and MarioWare Snapped.

The white bundle is for the casual gamer, with some family friendly titles like Brain Age DSiWare games for spelling, Sudoku and math, and a Clubhouse Games pack of card games. Both retail for $170 and hit stores tomorrow.

Alright so you don’t own a Nintendo DSi LL yet, but you’ve been drooling over it and can’t get enough info, right? Well, here’s a little something for ya. A few lucky folks managed to get their hands on the LL and have immediately and lovingly dissected the device.

Think of it as an autopsy that they’ve performed so that you won’t have to. Have fun checking out the guts of this larger DSi. Unless you’re the squeamish type. We undertstand. It can be hard to look at something you love being so…violated.

Everyone knows that as soon as you get a DSi you have to become a professional photographer, since the camera on the DSi is so great and all. So get yourself this DSi Studio Kit that allows you to add removable flash, wide angle, macro and telephone lens attachments.

There’s also a set of color filters so you can create visual effects. Judging by the design and colors, this is aimed at young girls, but what do you care. You’re the guy taking pics with a DSi.

Looks like that extra-large DSi LL, unveiled in Japan this morning will be coming to North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2010. It will be known as the Nintendo DSi XL in North America and Europe, which is fitting given all of the XL sized Americans who will be buying it.

This new DSi offers a screen 93% larger than the current Nintendo DS Lite with a better view angle, a longer touch screen stylus, and preinstalled Nintendo DSiWare™ software. The new version will arrive in North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2010.

That was certainly quick wasn’t it? Just a few days after we heard word from Japan’s Nikkei newspaper that Nintendo was planning a new version of the DSi with a larger 4″ screen, Nintendo has gone and announced it. For Japan. Because as you know from the Black Wii situation, Americans come last as far as the big N is concerned.

This version of the DSi is called the Nintendo DSi LL and will be released in Japan on November 21 for ¥20,000 ($221).
