On June 23, Nintendo of Europe will launch the Nintendo DS Lite system onto anxiously awaiting UK gamers and with a nice little surprise. A brand new exclusive color. You heard it right, Nintendo of Europe is launching the new DS Lite system in not only the standard White color that the US will get, but also in black as well. This will mark the first time that the DS Lite has been made available in the black color, and should spark some importing interest among US and Japanese gamers who've been holding out for this color. Play-Asia has begun taking pre-orders for the black UK model DS Lite at a price of $199.90. You might want to get in fast given the fact that the UK is the only country that will get the black DS Lite system at present time. If black or white's not your thing you can also pick up a Japanese model DS Lite system in either Ice Blue or Enamel Navy for the same price. Either way this at least means that there is a pretty good color selection for the new DS Lite, although your favorite color choice will likely cost you extra. I guess that's better than the alternative.
