DS Lite gets Brain Age 2 bundle

Red-and-black system packaged with sequel to breakthrough hit set to arrive in stores August 21.

Do not adjust your monitor. That is onyx and crimson.

The original Brain Age did wonders to expand the user base of the DS Lite, and now Nintendo is using that game's sequel to expand the system's selection of colors. Nintendo today announced that it will be bundling Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day with a red-and-black DS (or crimson-and-onyx, as the company calls it) when the game launches later this month.

While Nintendo is known for releasing multicolored consoles and handhelds, this will be the first new redecorated system from the company in nearly a year. Last September, Nintendo released onyx and coral pink versions of the DS Lite to complement the slimmer handheld's original ceramic white hue.

The Brain Age 2 DS Lite bundle will sell for $149.99, and includes a carrying case as a bonus. The package should arrive in stores alongside Brain Age 2 on August 21.

    Are you actually serious? You know that tetris is a GAME, and Nintendo is offering a new COLOR! That's like me saying "this will help nintendo alot I think, like how xxxxxxxx game helped the gameboy sorta". LOL @ your comment seriously.

    That is a sweet DS lite. I would buy it but I am buying the new PSP 2000 instead.

    Of course, I tried to be smart and wait on the DS Lite as well as wait for the black and pink versions. Sadly the store was out of pink (I'm a girl) and I got white and of course they release an even cooler color scheme.

    First of all, Zack860, your avatar is amazing. Second, this color combo does look great, but I'm hanging onto my black until they make a nice forest or sage green. No crayola primaries, please.

    The colour scheme I actually quite like. Would look nice with red all over but still cool.

  • Lord_Artix

    That is an awesome color scheme. I do need a new DS...But the onyx scheme is cool too...I don't know which one to get!

    Dammit! This is the coolest looking version of DS ever!! I have the old one... but Mario Kart red! Still good... but damn... could I trade it somehow...?

  • BlueFrawg22

    How much more cooler would it have looked if it were black and blue? And that would really fit the game.

  • littlestreakier

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 9:08 pm PT

    O_O those colors for the ds lite are amazing! very tempted to try to sell my ds lite i have now and save up and buy this new bundle

  • serabii

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 8:24 pm PT

    Nice... Atleast it's worth the purchase and it has a carrying case to boot lol

    well I may buy the game only because I already have a DS

  • Hellmonkey012

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??????

    I just got my DS and now I don't have enough money to buy this awesome new version. Why is the world so cruel????

    That looks very nice. Maybe I'll try to sell my blue DS Lite for it?

  • cashmonkey78

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 5:23 pm PT

    Why no blue colors?

    im in hawaii and its strange cuz just yesterday i saw this kid from japan playing that color DS. i thought, 'rrd and black? did he color it or something? maybe it broke and somehow got it repaired that way...idk. but he IS japanese...maybe its just a new colorway, they get all the good stuff.' this answers it tho. alright then

  • andytabor99

    i want that red and black ds, it looks freakin sweet!!

  • Travis281

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 3:33 pm PT

    This news is kinda old. I notice that on this page, a lot more people seem to like the colors as opposed to the Digg site. I think it looks okay, but I'll pass.

  • DJSMITH007

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 3:16 pm PT

    Cool. I want to get one now.

  • SaiyanDragoon

    Atlanta Falcons colors.

  • cutmaclass1

    This looks pretty decent. Could care less about Brain Age 2 though.

  • unclejohn0525

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 2:57 pm PT

    This is obviously gonna be limited edition, and I planned on getting a new DS anyway!! I'm getting it!!

  • DiscGuru101

    -Son of a Mother... That thing looks hot.

  • mezztro113

    The price point isn't great at all. You can buy the DS Lite separately with BA2 for the same price. What's the incentive, red and black color scheme?

  • finalcross

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 2:19 pm PT

    It's really nice looking - I already own a DS Lite, but this could be worth another purchase

  • aygol

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:35 pm PT

    Awesome. Now I might get a DS Lite.

  • alex20077

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:34 pm PT

    I've been thinking of getting a DS lite for the past couple of months, but with these awesome color combinations it might make up my mind faster.

  • playstation_wii

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:34 pm PT

    I'm definitely buying this!

  • Rect_Pola

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:32 pm PT

    Why 2-toned versus straight crimson? It would be a nice purchase for the holiday season.

  • enoslives7

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:31 pm PT

    they should do neon colors next

  • comthitnuong

    I just bought an Onyx DS lite yesterday. I think the bundle is pretty good, but I'd rather spend the extra $20 on another game on eBay.

  • Simpsonsfan2

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:07 pm PT

    I wouldn't buy it, i don't like the Ds color.

  • RaiKageRyu

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:06 pm PT

    Not a very enticing bundle.

  • LosDaddie

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 1:00 pm PT

    This bundle is going to sell a bunch!

  • syncroshadow

    Posted Aug 7, 2007 12:56 pm PT
