No new colours for Euro DS News
DS News by Robert Purchese
Nintendo has confirmed to Eurogamer this afternoon that it has no plans to release new DS Lite colours in Europe at this time.
It was speaking in the aftermath of two new paint-jobs being unveiled in Japan - Metallic Rose and Gloss Silver. Both of these are due to go on sale across the region on 23rd June. That home advantage strikes again.
However, far from being unpopular elsewhere, Nintendo has pumped out figures today revealing more than five million people worldwide have been playing each other using the DS Wi-Fi service. More than 200 million gameplay sessions have been racked up, with Animal Crossing: Wild World proving to be the crowd's firm favourite.
Mario Kart DS was close behind, though, followed by Metroid Prime: Hunters, Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl. All of which are solidly recommended.
Pop over to the Nintendo Japan website to have a look at the new DS Lite colours.

Just give me the enamel navy one Nintendo you starvation loving freaks! It's in a different class to all the others bar the black and white. Everything else is a bit on the peuce side of the colour sexiness chart.

"Its always Jap companies that tend to fuck EWurope over. Microsoft, being a US company doesnt seem to have done that... "
Really? So you have access to the European Video Marketplace? What about that free shmup that was USA only? How about the fact we don't have the Elite 360 yet? Granted, the games come out fairly quickly but then most western games do on all consoles and since the 360 isn't doing so well over in Japan, it makes sense for the Japanese studios to focus on western release dates before Japanese also. |

To me this sounds like the usual 'make this look good' number guessing game.. |
