Nintendo recently updated their Japanese Nintendo DS page with a set of four new colors set to be released in the coming months. Graphite Black and Pure White colored systems will launch on March 24th. Turquoise Blue and Candy Pink systems will launch April 21st. Nintendo of America has not yet made a similar announcement for the US.

The Black is also very nice looking.
The Blue and Pink add some nice color, and I am sure they will appeal to some.
Overall, great color selection so far. It really helps that there are more nuetral colors to choose from as well as the bright ones.

Also the black one should of had a silver lining to it (so sexy) or a dash of red.
I think that an ice color would have been better than blue, like with the GBA.
Haha keep wishing Bill.

And now I just noticed why the white looks so good: the D-pad and buttons are white too.

Sorry, it actually did say Turquoise Blue on the site. I edited in the official names: Graphite Black, Pure White, Turquoise Blue, and Candy Pink.

There's the Triforce GBASP, so it's not as unlikely as you think... ^_^

Still it's good to have multiple colours for a portable. I just wish Nintendo didn't wait until later to release the really good colours. These are okay but you just know that their are much cooler designs to come as well as special editions based on franchises and later two colour models with the top and bottom half being different. I understand why they don't immediately start with multiple colours but it would be nice if when they debuted the colours they debuted the "good" colours right away. I don't know why Nintendo always gives late adopters better stuff. I wish they would make the launch colour the best colour and make it limited edition to give the early adopters a little bonus.
I'm waiting for some forest green colour or maybe gold.

You said that you don't understand why Nintendo doesn't immediatly start with the "good" colours. Now, everyone said this with the GCN (with the purple and black Cubes). So with the DS Nintendo launched the more popular Platinum system. So you jump on them about that now. And like Bloodworth said, it's much easier to have just one colour at launch that way you don't have hardware shortages (which I like to think are a little more important than the colour choices).
With all that said, I do think you have a point about giving the people who buy the systems early a limited edition something.

I'll still post pics, eventually

I'm not talking about the platinum colour. I thought that was a great launch colour. I'm talking about these new colours. They're kind of meh. I know there are some really good colours on the way. So I wish that instead of releasing these dull colours and then later releasing better ones they released the enivitable crimson red, forest green, gold, etc colours now. Let the early adopters get the cool colours instead of rewarding the casuals.

Also, Ian, you wondered why the give the late adopters the best stuff? Well, simply, they are the ones that are the hardest to bring to your side. So, you need some sort of incentive to get them to buy the product. Price drops, pack-in specials, and different colors are all ways to attract the hardest group of customers. They screw over the early adopters becuase they know that they will by it anyways, even with a special addition or pack-in special. Except this time they did give them the Metriod Demo, which is a good start.

And Bill you could always make your own triforce DS, a guy on the metroid metal boards makes his own decals for cheap. One of them is a way cool triforce design.

I wonder if they'll make a special SNES edition....
Post by: Gamefreak on March 02, 2005, 07:30:32 PM
I think NES would appeal more to people, even if they have an SP one.
And the white one looks really sweet. That's the one I'm getting!
Oh and for those who don't like the blue, the baby blue and pink are supposed to be for girls, notice they launch on the same date as Nintendogs?
However I really hope Nintendo also releases the "guy versions" of those two colors (ie the fire red and dark blue from SP).
I also hope they release a true black, and not that dark grey...
