Lines form, shops sell out...is there any stopping the dual-screen juggernaut?
With every iteration of Nintendo DS hardware that is released, people form lines and buy up all of the initial launch supply. The handheld is selling fast enough without there being a new color available, but it seems that Nintendo wants everyone in Japan to own (at least) one DS or DS Lite.
Now available to the Japanese public, the Jet Black DS Lite is sure to entice more people to finally get the system. Or, to upgrade from the original DS. Or maybe even to replace a different color DS Lite that they had previously purchased. Whatever the reason, there were a crapload of people waiting in line to get it, as seen in these Famitsu reports.
Lucky for us in North America, we're getting the Onyx (black) DS Lite on September 13, as well as the Coral Pink shade. It's not too much longer to wait for those that want to get one of those two colors, but at least we know we don't need to wait in lines hundreds deep to get one on the first day.
