Well there were some rumors of a new DS being designed. Well its not really that much differnent from the first. There where a few “fake” creations. One even looked alot like the Game Boy SP. This is the real one. Its called the Nintendo DS Lite. It is planned to be relased on March 2nd, 2006 (in Japan). The new version will be released also in the states but no specific date has been set as of yet. The aproximate price of the new DS will be around $145, about the same as the original at release. The new version is smaller (Length 133mm ,Width 73.9mm, Height 21.5 mm when folded). It is also lighter (218 grams, the original DS weighed 275 grams). The final new feature is that the new screen will have a screen backlight level adjuster. The DS Lite will have 4 levels to this new light. Here are some pictures for ya.
It’s great that Nintendo is improving on the DS, but what about people that went out and bought the original… For being loyal Nintendo fans, and buying the new handheld system at launch, why does Nintendo put out a better one…? *sighs* Oh well. It looks sexy. I can not wait to see how much better the screen really is.
