While Nintendo has yet to confirm
its upcoming trio of new DS Lite colors for Europe (and hopefully the rest of us soon after), the much-leaked units have already been spotted in the wild and unboxed for your viewing pleasure. In addition to its regular warnings about getting outside and not hitting people in the face, Nintendo might want to inform consumers on the danger of eating their handheld consoles -- we'd hate to see unsuspecting Advance Wars fans succumbing to the incredible temptation these new colors present. Now, how about a little bit of confirmation and release dates for these, Nintendo?
Update: Turns out Nintendo indeed
confirmed the new colors -- a solid week ago. They're hitting Europe on June 13th. Still no word on the US, though, unless we missed another memo. [Thanks, Daniel]

I'm still rocking my DS Phat.
Who really gives .....about "color" change.
bring in new improved design and better performance!
Are these the best colors they could have picked? Honestly?
the light blue one is kinda nice. I'm hoping for a price drop to $99.
Ahhh, not a fan of the women, huh trebeck?
@ eric
tru dat
I want the lime. If they drop the price.
Fetching.
Colours are all good and all, but where is that next-gen console Nintendo? I want a Virtual Boy without the hideous usability and visual constraints. Make it happen; you are sitting on a pile of cash, after all :)
Plus we need some speculation and intrigue to fan the fan flames.
. . . yawn.
Ever since I sold my Mario Kart DS Phat for a Lite, I've been lusting after another hot red DS. mmmmm...
Any WPA support yet? No? I'll keep my plain white one till then.
Low the price from 150€ to 120€ and ill buy.
Meh!!!
Nintendo, enough, bust out that ultra sleek uber Lite....
I need to drop a 150 clams....and I'm not buying the same form factor. So, let's go already, give us the NEW DS uber Lite already!
It's been two years since you launched DS Lite and four years since you launched the DS....you guys pump out new models every two years or so. So, we're due.
C'mon Reginator...drop some new hardware!
I am charmed with Nintedo. A few years ago, fall in love with Super Mario 64, and it seems to me to be marvellous that recycle the games for the new consoles that they launch onto the market. This way it is possible to enjoy the games that we liked in his moment with the new technological formats.

The red one is like an EVA unit 02 DS.
now i require i purple one from Evangelion as well!
They need a purple one now too then for EVA unit 01
As the space orks say "Red unz go fasta!"
The green '& red are incredibly gaudy though!
The red one looks hot. I guess they're taking queues from the Sony camp with the PSP coming out in more colors. I'm still sticking to my white DS Lite and black PSP though. I prefer the classics.
Play it Loud!
Here's an English language article. No need to translate the German one.

I like these new colors, but I won the gold Zelda version from DSFanboy a while back, so I'm all set.
