DS Lite 'New Super Mario Bros.' bundle unboxing and hands-on

Look, we know there's nothing especially fresh about the New Super Mario Bros. DS Lite bundle that's just been issued for the holidays, but we're absolutely a sucker for anything red and stamped with a big M. We have to say, after struggling with the packaging (c'mon Nintendo, it took a knife and a pair of scissors), we were a little disappointed by the lack of style inside the box. Hey, we can't all be the Omnia. Check out the really red action in the gallery below.

Children use these to keep mums away.

So, only fugly women like gadgets?

(Sorry, had to use Fuzo's favorite word. Couldn't help it.)

[Patriks7 @ Nov 26th 2008 1:45PM]

I highly doubt that only ugly women like gadgets..

@Patrik

That only proves women love money from modelling.

[drsnacks @ Nov 26th 2008 1:23PM]

okay...
guess everybody's suffering from the job security willies. you guys were just hurting for something to do.

[bangladeshiluv @ Nov 26th 2008 1:23PM]

look at the pretty colors

look at the shitty games

[Eddie @ Nov 26th 2008 1:27PM]

Obviously you haven't played many DS games. In addition to all the amazing games there are indeed shitty ones, but that isnt any different than any other nintendo console...

[Phoenix @ Nov 26th 2008 1:50PM]

You should have said any other CONSOLE, point blank.

[Phoenix @ Nov 26th 2008 1:54PM]

OMG WTF was I thinking?

That should be "full stop"

[tekdroid @ Nov 26th 2008 10:41PM]

Tell us which portable console we should be buying (and games we should be playing), Master bangladeshiluv.

[??? @ Nov 26th 2008 1:26PM]

I still want my Mario cap.

[Level 5 @ Nov 26th 2008 1:44PM]

This could (read: should) had dropped 2 years ago when New Super Mario Bros. was well.. new. Still.. a limited edition DS and a bundle with what is arguably one of the DS's best games is hard to beat if you really love the starring Bro.

[BerBar @ Nov 26th 2008 1:47PM]

Right, nothing special about this one. I still think it looks great in red though. However, I still prefer my Zelda DS.

[y3k.nik @ Nov 26th 2008 2:04PM]

Only problem is, the M should have been inverted.

If i open it and play, person in front of me will think its a W... unless this has been Wario's plan all along?

[Cory @ Nov 28th 2008 12:35PM]

That's not a problem at all. You don't play the Nintendo DS like a laptop, both of the screens will be facing the same direction and most of the time it is in your lap so the M will be facing your legs.

Hey, thanks Engadget! Was looking for some unboxing pictures online yesterday. I wish I didn't already have a DS Lite, otherwise I'd be all over this model. This would be the perfect gift for any kid/adult out there who's into Mario, lol.

[prateeko @ Nov 26th 2008 2:11PM]

I came

[y3k.nik @ Nov 26th 2008 2:25PM]

You really dont last long.. do you?

[prateeko @ Nov 26th 2008 3:08PM]

I couldn't help myself, I had to come into this post and see the sweet shots of this stupid DS I'm going to end up buying...

[Jon Nelson @ Nov 26th 2008 2:13PM]

"It took a knife -and- a pair of scissors"

..Then you just suck with a knife.

[No1 @ Nov 29th 2008 11:56PM]

or...

You're doing it wrong!

[Prince @ Nov 26th 2008 4:00PM]

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT

Got SERIAL NUMBER...WOWOOWOOWOWOOWOWOW

[gambl0r @ Nov 27th 2008 6:55AM]

Ugliest hands I ever did see.

[Wwhat @ Nov 27th 2008 12:12PM]

The nice thing is that if you got one of those 'support aids victims' ones that depress people you can stick a white M on it and say it's a super mario edition, in fact that should work with all those red devices :)

[ikebana @ Dec 12th 2008 7:18AM]

Mario is my all time favorite game....n playing it on a console like DS adds to fun and excitement.
