New DS bundles won’t come to UK

No UK plans for the two new coloured DS bundles headed for the US

Following the announcement by Nintendo that two new specially coloured DS consoles will be available in the US by the end of the week, the format holder has said that the new bundles will not be available here in the UK.

“We have no plans to bring these bundles to the UK,” a spokesperson from Nintendo UK told MCV.

The soon to be launched gold DS will come bundled with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and the red one will come with Nintendogs: Best Friends.

Thats nice, we get a basic silver one with a ****py looking bit of zelda artwork in black on it and the US get a s****y gold one with the Triforce on it.

Cheers Nintendo.

Yeah, it's rubbish, but it would sell a lot of 'units', or whatever the business is using these days.

You have Wii's still in stock?

According to your post, you posed about 4/5 o'clock...

What the hell is your sales pitch to customers? Most stores sell out within 45mins/1 hour, probably even sooner of getting them in-store.

Good luck mate.

My sales pitch is pretty good to be fair, in stock doesn't mean available. They are just 'in stock' but reserved for customers. We're nice like that. When you get a decent number of Wii's each week you can afford to give people a few days to get in for them, its not like you won't have other people on your waiting list to call if they don't come in.
