Nintendo on Tuesday unveiled two special editions of its DS handheld gaming unit as the video-game maker seeks to keep up fans' enthusiasm for the popular device heading into the holidays.

One version will be colored gold and come with the epic adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass while a metallic pink model will come with puppy-training title Nintendogs, Nintendo said.

The new bundles will go on sale in the United States on November 23, the "Black Friday" after the Thanksgiving holiday that is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. New DS color schemes are eagerly received by Nintendo fans, who scramble to buy them as collectibles or for bragging rights.

The DS originally was sold only in white when a slimmed-down version debuted in early 2006, but Nintendo has slowly rolled out new colors and in the United States. The device is now available in black, pink, and a crimson-black combination.
