Alas, May 1st came and passed without incident, but now the exact same models mentioned by Nintendo Only have appeared in the database of a German retailer ("hellblau" is "light blue," while the others are obvious), complete with listings for red, green, and turquoise (?) styli. Oh, and there also appears to be serial numbers -- serial numbers make everything look more official.
Suddenly, this same speculation is looking far more credible, and we're way too excited again. Skip past the break for the full listings.
NDS Lite hellblau EAN: 0045496442996

NDS Lite Stylus türkis EAN: 0045496452148

so...when are they going to start releasing everything everywhere equally? releasing something exclusively for somewhere else just helps promote bootlegging. right...?

How does it help promote bootlegging? "Importing" might work a little better.

I guess nintendo is printing so much money that the green ink got onto a ds mockup and they thought "shit yea, it's getting done now."
I'm in.

ok, with all these new colors coming out (and metallic rose one in USA), I seriously doubt Nintendo will release a newly designed DS this year.

I honestly can't see nintendo making an entirely new DS.
My guess for E3 is new colors and fun accessories (arkanoid controller ahem) maybe even a tilt sensor or something?
btw all those mockups that keep showing up are seriously so bad....why are half of them missing corners? I just dont get it.

OMG! Red! Ice Blue! GREEN! Yay!
I want them to be released now! Importing from Germany to Scotland won't be too much will it?

Darnit. If I would have known, I would have waited a few months with my DS purchase. Now my local retailer is going to be stocking 3 new colors! Blasted!

I quite like the Ice-Blue one. If i ever get some extra spending cash, i'll acquire it, since i never upgraded to Lite anyway
