Nintendo DS Lite in Metallic Rose

The Nintendo DS Lite hardware rainbow expands by another color with the release of a Metallic Rose model. Although the image may appear pinkish, the new rose color is deeper and richer in hue than the Noble Pink NDS Lite model that was released last year.

Slightly slimmer and sleeker than the swarthy girth of the original Nintendo DS, the NDS Lite measures 133 x 73.90 x 21.50 mm (L x W x H) or 5.23 x 2.90 x 0.84" for us yanks. For comparison's sake, the original NDS rang in at 148.70 × 84.70 × 28.9mm or 5.85 x 3.33 x 1.13" stateside.

The NDS Lite tips the scale at 218g or 0.48 lbs compared to the original NDS' 275g or 0.60 lbs. In addition to its smaller size, the NDS Lite also features four adjustable levels of screen brightness and a much sharper screen that's a marked improvement over the original DS. «photos»
