Japan Gets Two New DS Colors: Metallic Rose and Gloss Silver

This is a Japan-only thing for now, but Nintendo's just announced two brand spankin' new colors for the DS Lite. The two colors are Metallic Rose, which looks reddish-pink, and Gloss Silver, which looks silver.

Although we'd really like both of the colors to hit the US, Nintendo's held off Japan colors before. Ice Blue showed up last year and still hasn't reached us yet. Then again, Ice Blue looked like 2000 flushes, while these two look classy. – Jason Chen

    Not a gamer but I took a look at my son's DS. Boy! do these guys ever make amazingly solid feeling products, the Wii is the same. They must use really high quality plastics compared to other stuff I have touched. Bit off topic I know, and maybe I am a bit late and may be stating things everyone knows - but just was amazed at the feel of their products. Just excellent.

    UKgit... you must have missed the part about the broken DS hinges and the Wii straps. Minor I know but these are two parts that actually matter.

    Onyx looks classy.

    Shiny pink and shiny silver not so much.
    (Unless you work or hang out at an ice cream store.)

    I just opened a ticket with Nintendo because my son's 5-month-old DS Lite hinge broke this weekend when he opened it. Nintendo wants to charge me $82.50 ($75 + shipping) for the repair, even though it's under warranty and they've publicly acknowledged it as a defect for almost a year now.

    Don't make me go all BBB on you Nintendo. Microsoft's already in trouble over my third dead Xbox 360... :(
