Mario Kart DS Bundle

It has been confirmed that Nintendo will release a Mario Kart bundle with their DS console next month. The bundle will retail for $149 U.S, though there is no current confirmation of a similar package for Australia. The bundle is expected to be released at around the same time as the game (November 14th), and will include a red Nintendo DS and the Wi-Fi supported Mario Kart.

DS Advanced has also claimed there will be a special Mario Kart stylus included in the pack:



Though I would rather prefer using the standard DS stylus, an afforable bundle with a wireless online game included, is always welcome. Remember, you would also need a USB Wi-Fi adaptor to play online, and it costs around $35 U.S, $50 in Australia. Simply connect the device up to your pc and it turns your computer into an instant wireless hotspot. Sadly, the gamers who are still stuck on dialup internet won't be able to play online through the DS.

I really feel sorry for you guys, just a year ago I was on dialup too, begging for ADSL. LOL it was horrible, downloading at 4k/sec, being cut off every time someone calls etc. ADSL plans are quite affordable nowadays in Australia, TPG, Exetel and Optus offer fairly cheap ADSL and cabler plans. 256k ADSL is almost as affordable as dialup, just don't join Bigpond and you'll be fine :D.
