Mario never fails to put me in a nostalgic mode. With the release of the New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, I'm in a mood for remembering the days when I was still in pink dresses and pigtails bullying my cousins to drop the Famicom controller – after all, the Famicom was mine. Today, I don't have to bully them – I just have to put the DS under lock and key and cousins will be none be the wiser. Sigh...I miss my bullying days.

Leading import video games, consoles, and game gear retailer Renchi.com has a different way of celebrating the debut of new Mario game. They're bundling the Nintendo DS with the New Super Mario Bros. for a cheap price of $234.90 (DS with the Nintendogs Chihuahua bundle is also available for $229.90).

Also part of the celebration is a hands-on review of the game. Here's what the review has to say: “We are sure that this New Super Mario Bros. will get a high score from all those reviews that follow ours, but ultimately, it's about how much fun we had (and still having) while playing this classic reborn. The characters, the theme, the music, the new twists, and the new mini games, Mario, Welcome Back!”

Indeed...Welcome back, Mario!
