Turning Autumn Pink!
Nintendo announces Pink Nintendo DS Lite to launch across Europe
23rd August 2006. Sleek black and white may have been the must-have look this summer, but now it's all about pink as the hugely successful Nintendo DS Lite turns pink this Autumn. For those who want a more vibrant handheld console, the Nintendo DS Lite Pink will be available in stores across Europe on 27th October 2006.
Following the successful launch of the Nintendo DS Lite - the lighter, brighter redesign of the Nintendo DS - in June 2006, over 5 million consoles have flown off the shelves across Europe. But if black and white are just not colourful enough, the new Nintendo DS Lite Pink will be the perfect accessory to brighten up those dull autumn days.
Nintendo DS Lite Pink will find a happy home in the most stylish of bags and is perfect for those on the go. Team it up with one of Nintendo's Touch! Generations range - a selection of innovative software designed to appeal to people of all ages and gaming experience.
