DS Lite US Release

Nintendo released their upgrade for the DS on Sunday, June 11th in North America at $129.99. The DS Lite competes against Sony's PSP and other Nintendo products, such as the Game Boy series.

The DS has been said to revolutionize game play, as it is the first handheld console that includes dual screens, one of which is a touch screen, along with free wifi and a microphone for voice recognition. The DS Lite repackages the original in a sleeker, smaller design along with a brighter screen that is brighter than the competition's.

The current available color is white, with other colors available in the future, including black. Though we don't expect this to hinder sales, as this is the hottest selling handheld console on the market.

The DS Lite will be available in Europe June 23rd.
