This week, the time-honored American holiday of Thanksgiving rolls around yet again, serving as the kick-off to a month-long orgy of conspicuous consumption. To celebrate, Nintendo just announced that it's releasing two 3DS bundles on Turkey Day. This announcement confirms the availability of the previously mentioned black Legend of Zelda handheld and outs a flame-red Super Mario model, too. $199 gets you the 3DS and either Super Mario 3D Land or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and the combo saves you a bit of money compared to buying them separately.


The one to get is obviously the Zelda 3DS, as the Mario one appears to be a plain ol' red 3DS with no fancy embellishments. The announcement says that the bundles will be available starting on Thursday and I'm guessing some of you will probably be making a run to the mall before the turducken gets carved.
