New DS Color Confirmed!

Sakura | August 08, 2007 | News | DS 
A couple weeks ago there was a leak about a new color for the DS Lite. It's a crimson-onyx Lite that is bundled with Brain Age 2. Here's another piece of good news: It's being released on August 21st in Canada AND the United States (originally only thought to be released in Canada). For only $149.99, you can buy the newest Lite and the newest Brain Game with a carrying case.
Last month we reported on what appeared to be a retail-leak in which Canadian retailer Future Shop was showing off a red and black DS lite bundled with Brain Age 2. Today we can confirm that the new color scheme is indeed a reality, as Nintendo has officially announced the package.

Hitting stores in both the US and Canada on August 21, the bundle will cost $149.99 and include the new glossy crimson and matte black DS lite, and a copy of Brain Age 2. The new DS edition will be the first new color in almost a year. Nintendo fashionista should be stoked.

    I really like the look of this DS, but I like my Pink one better. It's pretty nice looking though. Good idea on Nintendo's Part. I hope we get some more colors soon too. ^___^

    I want a new colored DS in the worst way, so I'm going to sell my white DS at GameStop or something, and a few games to go with it that I no longer play. I'm not sure which one I would want more, though. I love the black DS, and this one looks awesome too, but I love the all-black DS. So... meh. It's a tough decision.

    I got the all black DS when Pokémon Diamond came out. Fingerprints and everything show up so easily ><

    I love the color of this one though, and wish it was out at the time when I got mine.

      I would like a blue DS Lite as well as a silver one. They should have made more colored DS to begin with >_>

    As I have been saying. I've been looking to finally getting a DS Lite after having the older DS for a while. So I'll be picking up this new color. I might keep my old DS for kicks though.

    I still like the white best, it matches Wii nicely. Now, if only we had some software to pair the two up. (Excluding that pitiful attempt at a Wii pokemon game)

    Sweet colours. I think red, white or black will suffice. However, I don't plan on getting a DS anytime soon.

    Looks good, but TBH my old DS still works fine, so I don't really see any reason to get the new model.

    That, and it has no UK/European release date.

    Doesn't look that good IMO. I like the black one the best.

    I might get it just for the color. Although I'll have to get a Darth Vader PSP first.

    It looks pretty cool. If it comes out in the UK I wouldn't shell out Ł100 or whatever just for that though. I'm pretty content with my black DS lite thanks .

    well the colors look kind of weird at where they are placed but they are still neat, but i will wait for me warranty to run out before i get another ds, and if blue isnt out me going with pink, less smudgeing and stuff.
