Nintendo DS Lite Hits U.S. June 11
Nintendo has announced that its Nintendo DS Lite, a sleeked-down version of its dual-screen Nintendo DS handheld gaming device, will be released in the United States June 11 with a retail price of $129.99. The Nintendo DS Lite is being billed as a “lighter, brigher” version of the Nintendo DS, and will initially be available in “polar white” with other color choises presumably to follow.
The DS Lite is less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS, and roughly 20 percent lighter. The unit also features a longer, slightly thicker stylus, and the microphone, LEDs, and Start and Select buttons have been repositioned. The DS Lite’s screens can have their brightness set to four different levels (which can help conserve battery power), and a removable cover keeps dust and debris out of the GameBoy Advance cartridge slot.
Nintendo also announced a new version of Super Mario Brothers will launch May 15.
