Super Mario Strikers gets European date, bundle deal

Nintendo’s return into the realm of sports has been slow but steady, first with updated versions of Tennis and Golf, then a cameo in NBA Street, and now the upcoming baseball/soccer games. Super Mario Strikers, also known as Mario Smash Football outside of the United States, has received a European release date of November 18, alongside a new GameCube bundle featuring the game and a pearly white GameCube. With November just around the corner and fairly close to the projected US release date, it seems Nintendo is trying to take its European audience more seriously that it has in the past, where months will pass by before a US-released GameCube title will be released across the pond.

No word on if the bundle will be released state side, but the chances are very likely, though maybe a little closer to Christmas.
