Nintendo is serving up a special deal for Black Friday shoppers eying the DSi. This Friday, participating retailers will be stocking Metallic Blue or White DSi units that up the value with pre-installed DSi software.

The Metallic Blue DSi comes with Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Dr. Mario Express, WarioWare: Snapped: Wario, Mario Calculator, and Mario Clock: Mario Clock. The White DSi bundle is decidedly more academic-focused, packing three Brain Age express titles, Clubhouse Games Express, and Photo Clock.

“These limited-edition bundles come packed with some of the great Nintendo DSiWare games and applications that have made Nintendo DSi such a big hit with shoppers young and old,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The special price and pre-installed titles make the bundles a huge value for the holidays.”

Nintendo calls it a $20 a value that will be available “for a limited time only,” so expect stock to move quickly. It’s a nice gesture and should increase visibility of the DSiWare service to customers that otherwise may not be aware of its offerings. It’d be even sweeter if this wasn’t a limited offer, though.
