It's smaller, lighter and brighter!



The updated Nintendo DS Lite hits Europe’s gamers today after recent launches in Japan and the US.

Nintendo DS Lite is an improved version of the highly successful Nintendo DS, which has already been bought by more than 4.5 million people across Europe since its launch.

Available in any colour you like as long as its black or white, the DS Lite is slimmer, lighter and boasts improved backlit screens for play in daylight. It looks as if gamers are lovin’ the DS Lite as Nintendo claim its outselling the GBA SP launch in 2003 by 12%.

The DS Lite is complemented by some innovative new DS titles such as Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? which let’s you test your brain’s ability to do simple problems and with a just a few minutes play each day can improve your brain activity, responsiveness and concentration.

Also, for the first time since the SNES, Mario is coming back in a side-scrolling platformer, New SUPER MARIO BROS. which launches on 30th June 2006.

The Nintendo DS Lite will retail for around £100, the same price as the original Nintendo DS at launch.

It seems like the main shortage or sold out might have been in the black but i picked up a white one ok on saturday.

I had the original DS and my girlfriend got a black DS Lite on friday and i spent that night and saturday morning having a look at it.

I know everyone is focusing on the smaller, lighter, brighter aspects of it what got me is that the text looked sharper on the DS Lite and the colours looked more vibrant vs my DS. So come saturday afternoon i was down the shops trading in my DS and getting a DS Lite. :)
