German retailers list three new DS colors

by Chris Greenhough { May 9th 2008 at 8:00PM }

Back in March, Dutch website Nintendo Only claimed that Europe would be receiving a trio of new DS Lite colors on May 1st, including the (previously Japan-only) Ice Blue model, a mysterious green version, and the quite gorgeous Japan Post red DS Lite.

Alas, May 1st came and passed without incident, but now the exact same models mentioned by Nintendo Only have appeared in the database of a German retailer ("hellblau" is "light blue," while the others are obvious), complete with listings for red, green, and turquoise (?) styli. Oh, and there also appears to be serial numbers -- serial numbers make everything look more official.

Suddenly, this same speculation is looking far more credible, and we're way too excited again. Skip past the break for the full listings.

NDS Lite hellblau EAN: 0045496442996
NDS Lite rot EAN: 0045496443016
NDS Lite grün EAN: 0045496443030
NDS Lite Stylus türkis EAN: 0045496452148
NDS Lite Stylus rot EAN: 0045496452155
NDS Lite Stylus grün EAN: 0045496452162

so...when are they going to start releasing everything everywhere equally? releasing something exclusively for somewhere else just helps promote bootlegging. right...?

How does it help promote bootlegging? "Importing" might work a little better.

cbylife @ May 9th 2008 10:18PM

bootlegging, importing, same difference...sheesh!

Seconded.

I guess nintendo is printing so much money that the green ink got onto a ds mockup and they thought "shit yea, it's getting done now."

I'm in.

ok, with all these new colors coming out (and metallic rose one in USA), I seriously doubt Nintendo will release a newly designed DS this year.

ever since i saw that once black render which was off colour ive had a hankering for some choccy brown

Don't you mean Chocolate Rain.

I honestly can't see nintendo making an entirely new DS.
My guess for E3 is new colors and fun accessories (arkanoid controller ahem) maybe even a tilt sensor or something?

btw all those mockups that keep showing up are seriously so bad....why are half of them missing corners? I just dont get it.
