We got a little scoop for you guys tonight.
[telegraph] This just in. Inside sources tells 4cr that Pink DS lites will start appearing on North American shelves in early/mid September. I repeat, inside sources tells 4cr that Black DS lites will start appearing on North American shelves in early/mid September. [/telegraph]
Woah, wait a minute there. North America gets BOTH pink and black DS lites? Why, yes indeed! As just mentioned, North American gamers will finally be able to get their hands on Pink and Black DS lites in early or mid September. Not so bad after all, since Japan just recently got the Pink DS lite in their stores a few weeks ago, and will be receiving the Black edition at about the same time as we do.
Thanks to our rebellious mole for the exclusive information.

Bam.
Hours ago :p
Anyway, cool I guess. I don’t really want one.

Right before the rush of triple A titles too… looks like nintendo is ready to take it to the psp in NA.
groundbeef - 08.23.06 9:05 pm
Neeks- :O omg
*dances*

brennan: oh boo!
Well at least we’re the first few who got the word out.
Kevin - 08.23.06 9:08 pm
I del.icio.us’d it first! :p
brennan - 08.23.06 9:09 pm
WTF?! WHERE ARE ENAMEL NAVY AND ICE BLUE? NINTENDO, YOU MAKE ME CRY.
Jon - 08.23.06 9:10 pm
Whew, thank god I saw this before I dropped $200 on having one imported.
peshue - 08.23.06 9:16 pm
sweet. I was about to drop $200 to import a pink one if they didn’t start showing up here in the states soon. this is good news.
Josh - 08.23.06 9:21 pm
FINALLY!
amanaplan - 08.23.06 9:32 pm
Wonder where the leak came from…
lone.nt - 08.23.06 9:44 pm
Hopefully they don’t carry the infamous ‘cracked hinge’ plague..
Lynx - 08.23.06 9:46 pm
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I hope it’s noble pink though, unlike last time, when they brought us purpley-pale pink.
TOMATO - 08.23.06 10:06 pm
I’m so glad I waited.
goofeewalden - 08.23.06 10:29 pm
Finally!
Now my sister can get a DS lite and we can continue our Mario Kart marathons without being mad at the one with the DS Lite.
Marc - 08.23.06 10:31 pm
My white DS light is sexy… but black is sexier. I’m sure Contact won’t care what color it’s being played in! Or FF3! It’s going to be a sweet Q3/Q4.
Dynamo! - 08.23.06 10:32 pm
Presonally, I dont think black is sexier. I’m still drooling over my white one!
Hurricane Mario - 08.23.06 10:36 pm
Any word on a Black release in Australia yet?
I’ve been trying really hard to resist getting a white one.
werdnawee - 08.23.06 10:41 pm
I’ve been waiting for the black version. Held out this long w/o getting the white one. But with this summer DS gaming lull Nintendo made it easier for me to wait. Lotsa games coming out shortly makes me happy.
I just hope they’ve fixed that broken hinge issue.
SavageS - 08.23.06 10:51 pm
Everyone knows the pink one will have the strongest hinges. It will have little hearts circling the hinges like Princess Peach has in Mario Kart Double Dash.
Luke314pi - 08.23.06 11:02 pm
I want blue…
BrianG - 08.23.06 11:13 pm
Good to hear, though I prefer the blue version. Anyway, I think I’ll get the black one eventually, and then multi w/ my bro FTW!
DFens - 08.23.06 11:22 pm
ABOUT F-ING TIME.
Black is nowhere as nice as Blue… but it’s better than White.
Jacob - 08.23.06 11:27 pm
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
MacraMan - 08.23.06 11:51 pm
am I the only one pining for a red DS lite?
Ryan - 08.24.06 12:18 am
While this is somewhat old news in some circles, I’d like to mention that the color releases of the Nintendo DS Lite in various continents will likely play a role in the way new colors are introduced for the Nintendo Wii. This is, however, just an opinion of mine. Let’s see what happens!
James Montagna - 08.24.06 12:23 am
Oh, yeah, I really hope Nintendo won’t just release the white Wii alone, but with other colors like black and red or something. I hate this white iPod color >
DFens - 08.24.06 12:28 am
Pink is awesome, but where oh where is my seafoam green?
Beni - 08.24.06 1:47 am
yay.
omg.kittens - 08.24.06 2:17 am
Maybe, they’ll come $10 or $20 cheaper aswell. Now to decide, black, or pink?
Mr.Speed... IMMA BACK - 08.24.06 2:31 am
Good news for Americans!
Now somebody please help me finding a store in Tokyo where I could buy a noble pink DS lite.
Thanks in advance!
eight - 08.24.06 8:49 am
good thing i waited to get my ds lite. now i can get the black one!
gi4d2 - 08.24.06 9:09 am
Still loving the white DS lite…
Acey - 08.24.06 9:17 am
Finally! Time to sell old Electric Blue and get my precious Onyx. w00000000000t! n___________n
Shiro - 08.24.06 10:23 am
Awesome! But IMO “Noble Pink” > “Coral Pink”, because pink is the noblest of all colors.
enigma7 - 08.24.06 10:28 am
I agree with Enigma7, I mean, have you ever even SEEN pink coral?
space_bean - 08.24.06 10:37 am
yes SPACE_BEAN, yes I have: http://tinyurl.com/ftbkw

*orgasms*
:D
Henry - 08.24.06 11:28 am
I saw a Japanese girl have the Ice Blue one in Hawaii’s airport and it was so awesome! I want Ice Blue!
Phaladone - 08.24.06 12:52 pm
I just realized I have a legitimte excuse to walk into an EB for the first time in a year.
amanaplan - 08.24.06 3:45 pm
Now I just need Ice blue to come out in NA.
DarkMithan - 08.24.06 8:48 pm
Wooo, Pink DS Lite. If there’s enough games that spark my interest, or if my blue ds breaks, I’ll have to get one. The only part about that that I hate is I can’t used my battle stylus in the DS Lite stylus holder.
Does anyone know if they came out with the DS Lite version of the battle stylus yet?
Noel - 08.25.06 9:09 am
Nevermind, they did.
Noel - 08.25.06 9:12 am
damn i already bought a white one
marv - 08.25.06 5:31 pm
Well for all you that wish you had waited that sucks for you but guess what i have a white one from e.b. games and there you can get a product replacement warranty, where i can trade in my d.s. light as many times as i want for as long as my warranty is. So man that sucks for you cause i can get the pink, then the onyx, then whatever color they come out with next so boo ya!
Rachel - 08.28.06 8:40 pm
hey, am I wrong or are “Noble pink” and “Coral pink” actually the same color but with different names. Kinda like Crystal White” vs. “Polar white”.
