Nintendo announces new DS Lite for Europe

Nintendo has announced a new model DS Lite for Europe, due to go on sale October 12.

The Silver model now joins the Black, White and Pink units already on sale in the region, at the RRP of GBP 99.

After unveiling new Metallic Rose and Gloss Silver units for Japan in May, Nintendo had originally said that they would not be making the new colours available in Europe.

Nintendo has also revealed that European sales of More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima are close to the one million mark just 11 weeks since release, and Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl have sold approximately 1.6 million units combined in just seven weeks of sale.
