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!
