At the Nintendo press conference in Tokyo last night, before turning things towards the new 3DS handheld console, company president (Satoru Iwata) took time to mention the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
While we already knew there would be a special Super Mario Collection coming to the Wii on October 21, Iwata also announced a new DSi LL (known as the DSi XL outside Japan) would be released to further commemorate all things Mario.
As seen above via Nintendo’s official website, the new model is a deep red and includes images of a Super Mushroom, a Fire Flower and a Starman but not Mario himself.
The new “Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary” version will go sale in Japan on October 28th for 18,000 Yen, $214 at current exchange rates and the standard price for the Nintendo DSi LL.
