DS Lite Getting A Price Drop, Mario DS Games Get Crimson Covers
If you're one of the dozens of people out there who hasn't yet invested in a DS Lite, now's as good a time as any. Nintendo has announced that its portable is getting a $30 price cut to $99.99 starting June 5. In addition, six Mario games for the DS will be getting red cases, a la Super Mario Bros. Wii.
In June, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Super Mario Kart DS, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, and Mario Party DS will be sporting the new cases. Since colored cases aren't that exciting by themselves, Nintendo released some lifetime sales figures for the games, too. Here you go:
• New Super Mario Bros.: more than 9.25 million units
• Mario Kart DS: more than 7.40 million units
• Super Mario 64 DS: more than 4.34 million units
• Mario Party DS: more than 3.27 million units
• Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story: more than 1.98 million units
• Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!: more than 1.01 million units
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
