Nintendo has announced today it will release a special SMS Indigo GameCube bundle in the USA as well as a special edition Platinum GameCube!

Effective October 14th, eager players will be able to purchase the indigo-colored Nintendo GameCube with the game they've been thirsting for, Super Mario Sunshine, as well as a Memory Card 59 to save their game progress, in one, aggressively priced hardware/software bundle. The Super Mario Sunshine bundle will be available at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $189.95.

Then, on November 3rd players will begin to see the Nintendo GameCube itself in a whole new light. Following the overwhelming market response to the Platinum Edition of the handheld Game Boy Advance, a limited edition Platinum Nintendo GameCube dazzles the market, featuring a controller of the same shine. The Platinum Edition Nintendo GameCube will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $149.95.

Lucky americans! Let's all hope Nintendo of Europe will do the same for us. Why wouldn't they? Why.. oh why!

Thanks to our american affiliates N-Philes for the heads up!
