Nintendo confirms red and black DS, launching August 21st

Plain white had a good run, but Nintendo is bringing other parts of the rainbow to the US at last, with a new red and black DS Lite that'll be shipping bundled with Brain Age 2. The rumored pair are officially hitting the shelves August 21st for $150, says Nintendo, and while we can't guarantee the new color scheme will help boost your IQ, at least you'll look a tad more refined scribbling furiously on a "Crimson and Onyx" handheld.

I don't know if I should be pissed off that I don't have that color or happy that I don't have that color.

I'm going to take the former.

I have to say that that color combo is pretty nice. Too bad I already have a white DS. Anyway, I'm waiting for the Nintendo FS (Flexible Screen)....

Based on the sleek (Ferrari-like) styling and it being bundled with Brain Age 2, is it possible that Nintendo is targeting adult males with this one?

Man, I've been playing Nintendo since the NES back when I was 3...I still love these guys!

Nah, they are targeting the pre-senile, infantile Alzheimer's generation. Brain Age indeed.
I want one of those.
