Nintendo confirms injection of color for European DSes

by Chris Greenhough { May 21st 2008 at 12:30PM }

For so long now, Europe has lived beneath a cloud, with a populace that is served by Smart Black, Crystal White, and Platinum Silver DSes. Where's the color, Nintendo? We know all about Noble Pink, but some of us are manly men, and it would hurt our fearful reputation to be seen with such a gentle shade of DS! Across the Atlantic, our North American friends have enjoyed those lovely two-tone models.

But no longer must our portable consoles lack vividity! Following much rumor and speculation, Nintendo has started e-distributing the advert you see to the right, featuring a rainbow of DSes (kind of an ugly rainbow, but a rainbow nonetheless). We've suspected this was real for a while, but it's nice to have some confirmation -- and some cheery color back in our lives.

In case you forgot, the Ice Blue, red, and green will all be here June 13th.

I've wanted there to be a green DS for quite a while, but this is too lime for what I wanted.

I'm very happy with my Gloss Silver right now anyway.

RupeeClock @ May 21st 2008 1:26PM

Redredredred! I don't like white as much any more... I need that red DS Lite...

Must. Have. GREEEEEEN! And someone damn well better make a Kermit the Frog case for it too.

The green one looks pretty interesting...
I wouldn't be surprised if I find one in our "gray" markets. I wouldn't buy another one though since I'm very happy with my ice blue.

if only this green DS would glow in the dark

Why can't the U.S. get any good colors!?

I gotta get my DS replaced, it won't charge. Which is great news in the sense that back when I bought mine in New Zealand we only had white. I've always wanted a green DS like my teal GBC but since I have no idea when they'll hit our shores I'll pin for a blue.

They already have these colors in Japan....we're just getting it late.

Ahh I want a red one! My DS has been playing up a heck of a lot lately, do you reckon I'd be able to order one to be shipped to Australia?

DomeFossil @ Jun 14th 2008 1:23AM

I take it to mean that these colours won't be in Australia? Cos I'm reeaallly pining for that red one.
