Its Official! DS Lite in the US on 11th June |
Ó
It's Official! The DS Lite is coming to the US of A, and it's coming soon. After loads of rumours, there's the official announcement by Nintendo themselves. It's coming on the 11th of June this year. Pretty close to our earlier report, by the way. The lighter, brighter version of the hot-selling Nintendo DS is expected to be priced as low as $129.99 at retailers throughout the United States. The inaugural color is an elegant Polar White with a raised DS logo on the cover.
Nintendo DS Lite arrives just in time for players to pop in the latest version of one of the most storied franchises in video game history. New Super Mario Bros.®, launching May 15, updates classic Mushroom Kingdom action with new features and fun.
Now I'm aware that many people in the US are dying for one. Here's a few reasons why:
- It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
- Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.
- The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.
- The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.
- The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.
- A removable cover keeps the Game Boy® Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use.
I personally can't wait to try out one of these babies. The DS Lite will be fully showcased at E3 2006 next week, and might be available for pre-order at select retailers as early as today! Start saving up guys!

Usually when the big N updates a handheld I feel like it's for new customers and not for people who already own it, but the light is tempting! After looking at the comparison videos and now knowing the price the only thing holding me back is having a limited Mario Kart DS...
I imported my DS lite (white) and its worth every penny.
What do you mean having a limited Mario Kart SSj3fox?
He probley use's pasme and some flashcard to hack the offline tracks to make them online. Well if thats the case dont worry dude ds lite has the same firmware as the regular ds has. The ds lite also Has a SL1 circuit and can be flashed ^_^ I cant wait till i get mine im gonna flash it the first day.
wow, he meant he has a red DS
That may be one of the stupidest assumptions I've heard in months, and I'm a QJ regular. #4 is probably right. He already OWNS a limited edition red DS (the Mario Kart themed one), and that is what is keeping him from buying the Lite when it is released.
Did you really write out that whole paragraph without thinking first?
