Nintendo have officially announced the release date and the price for the DS Lite. The DS Lite will be released in the US on June 11 and could be priced as low as $129, which could mean that bundles could be available. In the press release some key details were added to show the main advantages of the DS Lite over the DS.
- It’s less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
- Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.
- The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.
- The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.
- The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.
- A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it’s not in use.
