Oh man am I excited for Black Friday. I’m looking to purchase an HDTV this year (I’ve been playing on a monitor this whole time), and I’ve put more research than I ever have into the purchase… but I digress. I’m not here to tell you about my after Thanksgiving purchases. I’m here to tell you about Nintendo’s Black Friday bundle: Metallic Blue and White Nintendo DSis… oh and also my complaints.

This Black Friday, Nintendo’s packing either of the above mentioned DSis with $20 worth of DSiWare game and applications. Here’s what you can get:

Metallic Blue DSi:

• Mario vs. Donkey Kong™: Minis March Again: Can Mario and his Mini Marios rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong’s clutches yet again?
• Dr. Mario™ Express: Mario once again dons his stethoscope to battle the forces of illness in this downloadable version of the classic puzzle game.
• WarioWare™: Snapped!: Wario™ returns with more manic action made especially for the Nintendo DSi system. Ituses the built-in Nintendo DSi Camera to make players the star of the show by placing them right into fast-paced mini-games.
• Mario™ Calculator: Mario and Luigi™ take a break from their normal adventures to dedicate their heroic talents to working with numbers.
• Mario™ Clock: Mario Clock includes both analog and digital clocks that use the system’s internal clock or allow you to offset the time however you like.

White DSi:

• Brain Age™ Express: Arts & Letters: Test your spelling in Word Attack, enjoy literary classics in Reading Aloud and tune your musical skills in Piano Player.
• Brain Age™ Express: Sudoku: Solve a variety of puzzles at three different skill levels using the touch screen and an intuitive interface.
• Brain Age™ Express: Math: Players can enjoy a mix of new and familiar exercises, including Change Maker, Triangle Math, Sum Totaled and Multi Tasker.
• Clubhouse Games™ Express: Card Classics: Play familiar favorites like Blackjack and Five Card Draw, or test your ability in the fast-paced Last Card, Last Card Plus and President.
• Photo Clock: Experience all the enjoyment of a photo album while ensuring you won’t lose track of the time.

Ok, so I guess that’s pretty cool. But the thing is, your aesthetics may collide with your taste in DSiWare. What if you wanted a Metallic Blue DSi, but are a brain teaser addict? Or you want the White DSi and can’t get enough of Mario? I suppose that’s the problem with most bundled packages. I have NEVER purchased a bundle that involves a system and a game because the bundles always included something I didn’t want. I’m not saying its not a great deal. It is a good deal, maybe if you’re looking to get started with a DSi. For me, I usually know which games I want, so bundles almost never workout. But again, that’s just me.
