Wii Red Console Special Mario Edition

As the Coke advert says "holidays are coming" and can't you tell it from the number of game releases on  the horizon.

Yes, this is the time of year that the gaming market goes into overdrive as we all fight for the amazing new games that come out for Christmas. And don't we all just love to cram around the Wii on Christmas afternoon and maybe work off the huge amounts of food with something like Wii Zumba Fitness or Wii Party?
I'll write on the most interesting game releases for the holiday season in the next few days, but there is one release that really catches the eye.

What is it? One of the most interesting releases is the new Red Wii Console Bundle! Red Wii Consoles? Whatever next?

Well, it is a special occasion I guess. And, the special occassion is....well, it's Mario's 25th birthday! Amazing isn't it?

Yes it's 25 years since Nintendo launched Mario and his friends on us way back in 1985. Yes, that's when a very pixelated Mario first jumped onto our screens. No sharp graphics like we have today, it was all very pixelated line drawings, that was as good as it got in those days.

So, what's this Red Wii Console Hardware and Game bundle all about? As I said it's about Mario's 25th anniversary and to celebrate Nintendo have released a "Mario Red" console, that comes with a "Mario Red" Controller and Nunchuk as well. It's the first time Nintendo have moved away from the standrad white or black consoles, but...for Mario (which has probably been one of their biggest profit spinners), you can understand all the pomp!

For my money, this is a must for Super Mario Bros fans. And as it's an anniversary special edition it is a limited release, so if you are interested I suggest you get in and buy as quickly as you can. Officially released on 7th of November (2010) it is only due to run for the holiday season - so expect withdrawl of the Red Wii Console and Mario Bundle in early 2011.

Not only do you get the Red Wii Console and controllers you also get three top notch games pre-loaded.
