DS Lite Revealed

The first redesign of the DS has been confirmed and it's called DS Lite. Here is the important info:

The article says that the system is thinner, lighter, and has adjustable brightness controls (apparently it's called DS lite because of both weight and brightness).

 

Original dimensions: 148 x 85 x 28mm

New dimensions: 133 x 73.9 x 21.55mm

 

Old weight: 275g

New weight: 218g

It will be released in Japan on March 2nd with no announced date for the rest of the world. There is an English article at 1Up but the link isn't working for me. Here it is anyway, http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3147494

 

I think it looks damn sexy. Very Revolution-ish. I hope they release a black version since that would be awesome.

What do you mean? Do you mean to say Nintendo is planning to release a DS Lite everywhere EXCEPT Europe?

[Nusumenai]

When is this going to be released?

 

I plan on getting one, with all the wicked games coming on the DS and all (Xenosaga DS XD).

No, I mean Nintendo of Europe was obviously kept out of the loop here. If they knew but were told not to say, they would have declined to comment.....not outright refuted the idea.

PAL gamers are almost always the last to get anything.......including news. lol

Because no one cares for Europe.

Yes, that's how it's been for the longest time, although the situation with game releases has improved trementdously in the recent years.
