It’s going to be a colourful autumn
Grey is out as DS blue and pink versions are unleashed
You know, someone at Nintendo might have planned this but the new blue and pink coloured DSs will be released on the same day as the soon-to-be-huge Nintendogs - 7 October - get it in your diaries now. Maybe the idea is you’ll buy a blue one if you’re going to choose male Nintendogs or a pink one for those favouring girl puppies?
Anyhow, with over one million DSs sold in Europe and Nintendo hoping to sell a further two million by the end of 2005, there’ll be plenty more marketing tricks - as well as great games - before the year’s done.
Expect to pay around £100 for your DS (of whichever colour) with other deals including bundled games and carry cases starting from around £120.
