Nintendo Announces New DS Color

Nintendo of America this morning announced a new color for the Nintendo DS – the first new color in North America.

Electric Blue debuts in June, and will become a permanent palette for the Nintendo DS systems, which launched with the silver-tainted “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 will also see new DS releases, including Kirby: Canvas Curse on June 17 and Meteos on June 27. gc dfcdfcdcfc
