Nintendo re-launching Metallic Rose DS Lite as standalone system

Just in case the Big N hadn't doled out enough variations of pinkish DS Lites, along comes yet another one to spend your discretionary income on. Later this month, a standalone Metallic Rose version of the handheld will be widely available in the US, but folks who managed to snag this very device in that Nintendogs bundle last year can pass right on by. Additionally, Nintendo is once again looking to the celebrities to push its wares, with America Ferrera and Carrie Underwood starring in spots with the aforesaid Rose DS and Liv Tyler showing up with the two-toned Crimson / Black edition. We're expecting the not-entirely-new hue to run the same price as all of the others, but we'd still recommend grabbing one quick if you're interested. One more look after the break.

No thanks, No money, need it all to get the new iPhone, then I will
get the DS Lite emulator and free roms...

Apple fanboys rank me up! +

Gooooo iPhone!

[Zak @ May 16th 2008 12:58PM]

You must be new here. The mere mention of Apple or any of its products will get you low ranked because there are a lot of insecure Apple haters here.

[Zak @ May 16th 2008 2:08PM]

LOL. Keep ranking me down, you're only proving me right. :D

[Derbeste @ May 16th 2008 2:49PM]

Interesting because the original poster didn't get ranked down.

They didn't rank you down because you like apple.

They ranked you down because you're being a douche.

I have an iPhone myself, but you don't see me using it as my personal dildo (brings a whole meaning to phone sex).

Clearly you have more to learn from Apple. If you did, you may be more liked.

@Zak:
I guess this is why I'm not getting any Apple products. It's not that I don't like their products, I just don't want to be tagged as an Apple douche like you.

With new colors comes more money for Nintendo.
They'll sell millions.

Sweet, now my game system will match my marry kay car!

[itlnstln @ May 16th 2008 2:58PM]

Who's Kay? And why are you marrying her?

The original limited edition Nintendogs metallic rose had a paw print on the top though. But this is definitely nice. I just hope they come out with a gold Nintendo DS Lite soon..

I HATE stories about new colors. Who cares, really? Does anyone here REALLY care? Just like when the iPod nano gets new colors - ooh, gotta make a big old story about that one, because it's SOOOOOO interesting!

[StrangeBum @ May 16th 2008 2:20PM]

I hate it when people decide to make comments on posts that they apparently find SOOOOO stupid. I mean really, if you don't give a shit, then why bother being a jerk and leaving a stupid comment.

Billy:

What makes you honestly feel your comment was any better?

[Backwards People @ May 16th 2008 1:54PM]

Thanks for the news on the new colors! I love news like this!

[shanoboy @ May 16th 2008 2:12PM]

I can get a DS in 20 colors but I can't get a damn Wii remote in anything but pasty white?

[Marvin Quach @ May 17th 2008 8:19AM]

Dude, keep in mind the DS has been out for like 50 years (okay, maybe more like 5) and after a couple of years, sales will start to stagnate... this is how Nintendo keeps on boosting up their sales profits for it to stay consistent.

The same thing happened with the Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube and eventually... the Wii. Just give it a couple of years, lol.

[gentux @ May 16th 2008 7:40PM]

Interesting, are they now going into the same route as Sony's PSP.

The PSP Slim was a shame, they didn't include some internal storage, they decreased the battery and didn't change the screen to a high-res such as that one in the N8x0's. But then again you can't use that GPS and Video Module with the old PSP because "it has not enough RAM".

Hope Nintendo makes it better. Or must I say they're making it better right now? Because you can play old Gameboy Games on the DS. And you can play Gamecube Games on the Wii as you can use their controllers and memory cards.
