El33tonline's DS Bundle Christmas Buyer's Guide for South African gamers

The Nintendo DS continues to sell well the world over, bolstered by the release of some fantastic games like Dragon Quest IX, Picross 3D, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story and many more!

This year we also saw the DSi XL being added to the popular family of handhelds, a console that features a 93 percent bigger touch screen and a bigger play screen, a wider viewing angle, and a larger pen-like stylus, culminating in what is quite possibly the ultimate version of Nintendo’s DS. It’s definitely true that once you try the DSi XL, regular DS consoles simply won’t do - just ask El33tonline’s Editor In Chief!

However, if you haven’t joined the handheld gaming world yet, then you might want to take a look at a few new ways to enjoy this super-sized method of portable gaming, including the New Super Mario DSi XL Special Edition Pack and new colour options for the DSi XL.

Released to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game, the New Super Mario DSi XL Special Edition Pack includes a red Nintendo DSi XL branded with character icons, as well as a copy of classic New Super Mario Bros. 2D platforming game. This bundle is available now for R2200 in South Africa.

If red isn’t quite your colour, then you can have a look at the DSi XL in yellow, green and blue, available now for R1999 apiece. Of course, you can also get the DSi XL in its standard ‘wine red’ and ‘dark brown’ too, so there’s all kinds of variety of on offer!

For the budget conscious gamer, you can also pick up a DS Lite for R1399 which will let you play your DS games just fine!
