PRESS RELEASE: Nintendo Announces First New Color For Nintendo DS: 'Electric Blue'


REDMOND, Wash., April 19, 2005 – Nintendo of America Inc. introduces the first new color in the Western Hemisphere for its popular Nintendo DSTM portable video game system. "Electric Blue" debuts in June and will become a permanent color in the DS palette, joining the original silver-and-black model, named "Titanium."

"This eye-catching new color comes at an ideal time," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Nearly 2 million Nintendo DS owners in North America alone have demonstrated they want something new from a hand-held video game system. Soon, consumers will have two popular choices for the innovative dual-screened Nintendo DS, which features touch-screen control, voice recognition and wireless play."

June also will see the release of two exciting new DS games. On June 13, KirbyTM: Canvas Curse will bring a new touch-screen twist to a popular franchise. Players will draw rainbow paths for Kirby to roll along as he stuns enemies and takes on their abilities. And on June 27, the highly anticipated and highly addictive puzzle game MeteosTM will have players launching deadly falling meteors back into space with touch-screen precision.

It's not bad.

I'm still waiting for Onyx/Jet Black.

Just import one. Might be a bit more expensive though...

This colour isn't half as sweet as what Japan got.

bah, I wish it was coming out sooner here

Still kicking myself for not getting the Ice Blue GBP. Perhaps this will calm the waves of regret built up over the years...or I could go on a murderous rampage...that is a bit cheaper.

Do the new colored DSs have better graphics?

Would giving them better graphics be a good marketing plan?

[Jonbo298]

Better graphics would be better but it would piss of developers and consumers too much as its 'too soon' to do a major graphics upgrade on the DS.
