A New Super Mario Bros. Wii Limited Edition bundle has appeared. Amazon.com is offering a special bundled set, packed away in a New Super Mario Bros. Wii themed lunch box. This should make a sweet gift for Wii gamers this holiday season.

Here is what is included in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii Limited Edition bundle, for $69.99:
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii game.
- Wii Remote Static Cling Set featuring a unique design with Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad or Blue Toad from New Super Mario Bros. Wii game (Wii Remotes not included).
- 100% cotton New Super Mario Bros. Wii t-shirt (Men's Size Large)
- Plastic lunch box with New Super Mario Bros. Wii design.

Apparently, Jon Heder has been spending his downtime with Nintendo's Flipnote Studio. The video above shows the actor knows how to do a thing or two with Nintendo's software, though you'll find his doodlings are severely lacking in Ligers. Still, it's a neat video for some very neat -- and very free -- software for your DSi.

Head past the break for the full list of this week's Nintendo Channel content.

According to Ubisoft, while Assassin's Creed 2 has been successful thus far, the same cannot be said for their Wii products.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii couldn't possibly do anything more to remind us of the delight Mario games brought us in our youths, short of including a Mario lunchbox. Amazon is helping to ensure the full nostalgia experience by doing just that in a special bundle!

For $70, you get the game, a plastic lunchbox, a t-shirt (size L), and four Wiimote stickers. The t-shirt sizing suggests that this really is a nostalgia-focused gift set and not for people who are currently children. This, of course, means that these lunchboxes are destined for shelves and not cafeterias.

Metal Gear kept Japanese Wii owners waiting last month, as publisher D4 Enterprises missed the game's announced November release window. The tactical espionage action progenitor has snuck into December's lineup, along with another November refugee, Yie Ar Koutei no Gyakushuu.

December will also see the arrival of Final Fight 3 for SNES, which features Guy and Haggar along with two new characters, all doing what they do best: punching people, eating garbage, and destroying lots of barrels. Of course, no Virtual Console schedule is complete without shmups, and December will see two: Ordyne, an adorable side-scroller from Namco, and Zaxxon, a classic Sega shooter with a confusing perspective. See the list after the break.

Ubisoft has just announced a new Prince of Persia -- but it's not a sequel to 2008's polarizing adventure (if desired, add unhappy emoticons to sentence). Instead, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands will continue the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trilogy series, complete with "many of the fan-favorite elements" and "new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand." Oh, and an accompanying film!

You can catch the game's premiere trailer on Spike TV's Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 8 p.m. EST. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is scheduled for release on "consoles and handhelds" in May 2010.

If you thought last week's NintendoWare Weekly update was huge, well ... you'll probably think the same thing about this week's update!

Loosen that belt and make some room for more by heading past the break for the full list of this week's releases.
