New flaming red DS with Mario Kart bundle set to hit shelves

Just like Nintendogs before it, the release of Mario Kart on the DS is sure to spark some people's interest in the hardware. To that end, Nintendo is releasing a special Mario Kart bundle with the game. The bundle contains a flaming red DS with some racing decals and a new wrist strap. Goofy? Sure, but a good draw for people who don't yet own the hardware and want to save a few bucks by getting the game and system together; the bundle is set to retail for US$149.99.

The bundle is slated to launch at the same time as the Mario Kart DS release in November, and with the rollout of Nintendo's online service at the same time, this sounds like a good time to get on the DS bandwagon. This is a pretty aggressive bundle, and with the holidays fast approaching, I can only assume it'll sell pretty decently.
