NDS Lite - 3 colors revealed

I'm guessing it will be. That's all. The SP was slightly more expensive than the GBA so I figure the DSL will be slightly more expensive than a DS.

This is Japan though, maybe their sales figures indicate that these are the most popular colours. Maybe black is the least popular one in Japan and they figured they could try another dark colour. This Enamel Navy is, in fact, darker than the graphite black DS..
My point is still valid though, listening to rumours and assuming they're real is dumb. I'm glad you made a profit on your DS though, but don't blame the rumours because you sold it.

Then.. don't?
The majority of people think otherwise though. (And yes, someone here has held it and posted impressions that were very good.)
White is my favorite; it'll likely be the most common color purchase. Matches my PSP and car, but not my iPod (which is black).
The Navy one is pretty good, too. Not really what I was expecting with the initial batch of colors, but the unique look of it is kind of eye-catching, and is a close second.
That ice blue one is very femme. No thanks, but it'll probably be popular with the female crowd. If they were trying to attract that demographic, they should've gone with pink or a Louie Vuitton print.
Anyway, looks good. Can't wait to give it a try with my own hands. I'll have to bug the early adopters at work next month.

in other news, aren't we a bit psychotic because we're so bothered by the cartridge sticking out a bit? i mean, i think it's stupid that it bothers some of us, yet, we still manage to be okay with the fact that it bothers us.
i dunno, i just find it odd, that the cartridge sticking out like that makes the slot pretty much useless for the most of us.
thoughts?

I'm super curious: how does the cartridge sticking out make the slot "useless"?
Can somebody elaborate? Thanks!
(Disclaimer: been playing Drill Dozer with the cartridge sticking 1cm out of my Micro and it hasn't bothered me at any point. And I'm a pretty picky guy. Thus, the curiosity.)

I wanted black so it could match my Revolution.Nobiru said:
I mean, come on, white and two blues?
Nooooooooo. Arghhhhh.Jonnyram said:Oh fuck... boooooooo
Tell me this is just the "GBA cart sliding into the DS" shot, and not what it looks like when fully inserted. Argh. I was expecting the DSL to remedy most of my issues with the current DS. Eh.. I'll still probably get the white one. Damn you Nintendo.
*edit: Goddamnit, I didn't realize this thread was 3 pages and my question had been answered.
I reiterate; DAMN YOU NINTENDO.
I swear, every fucking handheld they make has to have at least ONE THING to piss me off.

Ill maybe wait a few months and see if a black version is eventually mentioned, and if not ill get the navy.
As for the GBA carts sticking out, cant say it bothers me. I put up with gameboy games sticking WAY out of a GBA and they stuck out at the top of the console and could catch onto things if you weren't careful. Having the GBA carts stick 1cm out and at the bottom should be fine. I can only imagine the style consious really hate this, as it is a pretty handheld, but they will get over it.

Bad: The GBA cart sticking out. Wario Ware Twisted will look horrible
Good: Does this mean E-card reader suppoer is back!?!?!?

jamesinclair said:
That's a great example: Wario Ware already sticks out about 17 feet, so much that I set the cartridge in one room and play in another. So what difference is 1 extra centimeter going to make?
Seriously, why does the cart sticking out make any difference? Anybody? Please? Someone? *weeps*

no e-reader. it aint no gameboy
You dont need the port, look at SP. But the port got in the way on the DS because it was too fat. This 1cm distance could fix that.

does that somehow translate into "black" on your computer screen? Christ, reading comprehension -1.
and I'll be getting a Navy one and keeping my red one as well. I like the rounded edges as now I can lay on my side in bed and play without the edges of the system digging into my hands.

What's the big deal about the GBA cartridge sticking out? I played several GBcolor games on my SP that stuck out like a sore thumb and it never bothered me once.
...That navy color is really slick.

What I'd like to know is where does the DS regular brightnes stand with the Lite? So there's four settings, but how many are brighter than the the original?

i dont want my GBA games / rumble packs sticking out, becuase when im putting it in or taking it out of my pocket it can catch on things, and wreck stuff, plus when you have such a slick lookin machine, it would look silly to have something like that sticking out.

Incidently, by removing the thumb stylus, Nintendo is admniting that those things DO scratch the screen.
