Nintendo Announces DS Lite

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today announced Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer version of the best-selling Nintendo DS. Also featuring brighter screens, Nintendo DS Lite will launch in Japan on the 2nd of March. Nintendo DS Lite will be less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.

Usually I shrug when I hear that Nintendo has released a different version of the same console, but this one I can agree with. The original DS just isn’t that comfortable, so hopefully a slim version will be. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
