DS painting town red in Japan
Nintendo readying new-hued handheld to launch simultaneously with Jump Super Stars DS on August 8.
Japan will be getting its sixth regularly available DS color model this summer. According to the latest issue of Shonen Jump, Nintendo will release a new, red-colored version of its double-screen handheld in the country on August 8. Nintendo has not announced any plans to release the new-colored DS in America.
Like on the standard Platinum Silver DS, the buttons and the bottom side of the handheld will be in black, giving it a fashionable, two-toned color. The red-colored model DS will be priced the same as the other previously released models, at 15,000 yen ($139).
August 8 is also the day that Nintendo will release Jump Super Stars for the DS, which is expected to be the big title for the handheld this summer in Japan. This will be the second time that Nintendo is releasing a new DS color model together with a major game. The company on April 21 released Nintendogs together with two DS color models, Turquoise Blue and Candy Pink. The other color models released previously are Graphite Black and Pure White.
