14 DAY TRIAL // On September 13, the DS Lite will go on onyx black and coral pink and the latest designs will be showcased in every respectable shop within the U.S..
The new colors also go together with plenty DS games, including New Super Mario Bros., which has hit the 1 million unit sales mark after just 12 weeks on sale in the United States. That's an average of roughly eight games sold each minute continuously since launch, making it the fastest-selling DS title in the United States for a 12-week period.
"Not only are the DS Lite screen and battery life incredible," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "But the new colors just add another element of fun, allowing people to 'personalize' who they are by the color, or colors they pick."
If you didn't know, the best part of the DS Lite is that it is able to play the entire Game Boy Advance games, no less than 1,000, in a single-player mode.
"Animal Crossing: Wild World already has sold more than 800,000 units, and two brain games - Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day (sold 4 million units worldwide) and Big Brain Academy (nearly 2 million sold to date worldwide) - are part of what Nintendo calls "a phenomenon of people wanting to feel as mentally sharp as possible by playing daily"," informs Game Planet.
