More Info on DS Lite for America

According to IGN, Nintendo has released a little more info on that sexy DS Lite, including some tidbits that give us just a little more info on when we can expect to see it stateside. Seems as though we won’t be counting on a simultaneous launch worldwide.

“Although the product was announced in Japan, with no details given for international market, DS Lite will indeed be released in Europe and America. The company hasn’t given a specific release date, only stating that the western markets can expect a release following Spring. This seems to suggest that a simultaneous release with the Japanese version (set for 3/2) is out.”

The article also goes on to say that Nintendo is preparing the system in three colors for Japan, and expects to continue to sell the older version at slightly below the cost of the DS Lite. No definitive word yet on how much we can expect to shell out for the unit in America, though, at 16,800 yen, it works out to about $145 dollars.

We’ll keep you posted on any other developments.
