DS Lite

Remember the bygone days when a system had to be out for 2 or three years before it was re-designed it a much smaller and cuter package? Usually at a lower price? I miss those days. Now you just feel like a chump for not waiting for the sleeker model.

That seems to be the case with the new DS Lite that Nintendo has announced. The new design apparently is white, works the same but is 1/3 smaller and 20% lighter. Overlap comparison here. Its going to released in Japan for $145 converted to US.

My speculation is it will be released here in the US in early Summer for same price as the current DS model.

  1. Hey, followed your link from the YABS board. I heard about this lite version. The DS Lite looks more like a makeup kit (compact).

    No need to buy what I already have. Old DS works fine.
