Nintendo will launch red-colored Wii and DSi XL game consoles in Europe later this month in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., the classic video game that marked the beginning of Nintendo's journey to the top.

The red Wii bundle pictured above will launch on October 29, and it will include both Wii Sports (which is bundled with every Wii console) and New Super Mario Bros., along with a pre-installed copy of the original Donkey Kong arcade game that introduced Mario to video game fans back in 1981.

The DSi XL bundle below will arrive exactly one week earlier with a copy of the portable version of New Super Mario Bros. It's adorned with icons representing famous Nintendo characters.

Both of these were already announced for a Japanese launch in November, but we haven't heard a peep about a North American launch yet. It seems likely though, so stay tuned.
