The US bundle will feature a new red and platinum DS, along with a couple extras...

We now have visual confirmation that the oft-rumoured Mario Kart DS Bundle is a reality and right around the corner. The specially coloured DS features a racy red and platinum scheme (dubbed "Hot Rod Red" by NoA) that can be further customised with included racing decal stickers. The bundle will also includes a special "checkered racing flag"-inspired wrist strap.

The Mario Kart DS bundle is set to speed into American retailers alongside the debut of Mario Kart DS and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which are launching Novemeber 14th in the US, November 25th in Europe and December 8th in Japan (Wow, Japan getting the game last... surprise.)

Updated! We've just got the high res pictures of the console and the box artwork. Check them out:
