DS Lite available June 11 for $130
American gamers will welcome the fact that the Lite will be arriving in little more than a month and--impressively--at exactly the same $130 price for which the original DS currently sells. By comparison, we ordered our Japanese DS Lite through game importer Lik-sang.com and paid a bit more than $200 after shipping. And as you can see from our early review, we found the improved cosmetics and brighter screen of the DS Lite to be a worthwhile improvement over those of its predecessor.
The same Nintendo press release also confirmed that New Super Mario Brothers will be released on May 15, ensuring that current and future DS/DS Lite owners will have at least one more must-have game to play on their dual-screen portable.
