The Nintendo DS Lite (ニンテンドーDS Lite, Nintendō Dīesu Raito) is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It is a slimmer, brighter, and more lightweight redesign of the Nintendo DS, designed to be aesthetically sleeker while taking styling cues from the Game Boy Advance SP, and to appeal to broader commercial audiences. It was announced on January 26, 2006, more than a month before its initial release in Japan on March 2, 2006 due to overwhelming demand for the original model.[4] It has been released in Australia, North America, Europe, New Zealand, Singapore, and defined regions in South America, the Middle East, and East Asia. As of September 30, 2008, sales of the DS Lite have reached 65.51 million units worldwide, according to Nintendo.[1]

Features

  • Capable of receiving Wi-Fi signals from other Nintendo DS Lite systems, the original Nintendo DS, Nintendo's Wii, and Wi-Fi access points. WEP encrypted and unencrypted networks are supported. WPA encryption is not supported.[5]

Differences between the DS Lite and the original DS

  • Weight: 218 g / 7.69 oz (21% lighter than the DS).
  • Dimensions: 133 mm × 73.9 mm × 21.5 mm (vs. 148.7 mm × 84.7 mm × 28.9 mm - 42% less volume than the DS). In Imperial units, the DS Lite is 5.24 in × 2.9 in × 0.85 in.
  • Extended battery life compared to the DS. With a full three-hour charge the battery will last fifteen to nineteen hours on the lowest brightness setting and five to eight hours on the highest brightness setting (both are dependent on the type of game activity).[6] After 500 charges, battery life can be expected to drop.[6] The DS was supplied with a 850mAh battery, while the DS Lite has a 1000mAh battery.
  • Brighter, more durable top and bottom LCD screens, with four levels of brightness. Designed to be more resistant to shock.[7] The option of turning the backlight off in the main menu has been removed.
  • Larger stylus, making it easier to hold[7] (stylus dimensions: length 87.5 mm × 4.9 mm vs. 75.0 mm × 4.0 mm of the DS). The stylus is now also side-loaded and located next to the power switch, making it easier to reach when needed.
  • In Japan, the wrist strap no longer includes a thumb stylus; in North America, Australia and Europe, the wrist strap is no longer included at all, though there is still a place to attach it.
  • The D-pad was reduced to 18.6 mm across (16% smaller than the DS), but the A, B, X, and Y buttons retain the same dimensions. There are lines on the D-pad, a design shared with the Wii Remote and Game Boy Micro.
  • The Start and Select buttons have been relocated under the A, B, X, and Y buttons, and are smaller than the original buttons.
  • Eleven colors: Ice Blue, Enamel Navy, Polar White (Crystal White in Japan), Coral Pink (Noble Pink in Japan), Onyx Black (Jet Black in Japan), Metallic Rose, Gloss Silver, Crimson/Black, Cobalt/Black, Turquoise, Red, and Green (see Colors below).
  • Different external extension connection, rendering it incompatible to accessories for the Game Boy Advance EXT2 port (power cords and headphone adapters). The new connector is used for the power cord only.
  • The power button is now a power slider and is relocated to the right side of the device.
  • The power and charging indicator lights are now located on the right hinge.
  • The redesign of the system has caused Game Boy Advance games to protrude out of the system by 1 cm. In addition, to provide a seamless surface and to keep out dirt, dust, and other debris, a filler cartridge is included.
  • The processors are the same as the DS, but made on a smaller custom process so they require less power.
  • The built-in microphone is now located between the top and bottom screens of the DS Lite.

Colors and limited editions

Colors

Nintendo revealed the color schemes of the Nintendo DS Lite set for launch in Japan: Crystal White, Ice Blue, and Enamel Navy;[8] however, due to manufacturing problems only the Crystal White was available at its launch; the other two colors arrived on March 11, 2006.

Launch

Japan

The Nintendo DS Lite was released on March 2, 2006 in Japan, with the suggested retail price of ¥16,800, but due to lack of supply and excessive demand of Nintendo DS systems at retail price following the Nintendo DS Lite's launch in Japan, many Asian electronics distributors raised the retail price of the redesigned handheld console to ¥23,300. On some Japanese auction sites it was being offered for prices as high as ¥40,000.[50] Even though Nintendo managed to release 550,000 units in March 2006[51] (which was above their initial projections),[citation needed] the DS Lite was sold out soon after its launch.[52] The shortage was supposed to be eased after Nintendo released 700,000 Nintendo DS Lites during April 2006; however, retailers in Tokyo sold out yet again by late May 2006.[53] This shortage would last for most of 2006 and 2007[52] with retailers all around the country having permanent ads apologizing for the shortage and announcing the ignorance of when a restock would arrive. When the product arrived, it would sell out within days. Since restocking was erratic, looking for the product often involved several visits to different retailers, and most of the time without finding the product. This was still the case in Japan as of April 25, 2007, with stores turning away potential customers every day and selling out quickly.[54][55]

Australia

The Nintendo DS Lite was released in Australia on June 1, 2006, for AU$199.95.

North America

The Nintendo DS Lite was released on June 11, 2006, for US$129.99 in the United States, and CA$149.99 in Canada.[13]

There have been various reports of North American Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Meijer stores having sold Nintendo DS Lite units as early as May 30, 2006, breaking the official launch date.[56]

On June 12, 2006, GameSpot reported that North American Nintendo DS Lites had sold out at major online retailers, as well as several brick-and-mortar stores.[57]

On June 13, 2006, Nintendo announced that 136,500 units were sold in two days since the DS Lite went on sale in North America, and seemed to be on pace to the 500,000 sold by the original Nintendo DS in its first ten days.[58] Shortly after its launch, the DS Lite was sold out at major US retailers; however, it did not have the same ongoing shortages in the US as it did in Japan through 2006 and 2007.[52]

Europe

The Nintendo DS Lite was officially released in Europe on June 23, 2006, for £99.99 in the UK, €149.99 in the Eurozone. In Finland and Sweden, the DS Lite was released on June 22, 2006, due to Midsummer. In just 10 days, Nintendo announced it had sold 200,000 Nintendo DS Lites in Europe.[59]

Following the wake of the Wii home console, the DS Lite has experienced a surge in popularity, more notably the black version of the system. In the run up to Christmas 2006, DS Lites were sold out in most retailers and even online, leading to marked up units being sold on eBay and Amazon's marketplace. [60]

The same thing happened again a year after, with even more demand than the year before.[61] Nintendo UK even considered pulling Wii TV ads as it would only increase demand which couldn't be met.[62]

China

On June 29, 2006, iQue company officially released the Nintendo DS Lite as the "iQue DS Lite" in China, for CNҰ1198.

South Korea

Nintendo opened its latest subsidiary, Nintendo of Korea, led by Mineo Kouda, on July 20, 2006. The DS Lite is the first system to be released in South Korea by the subsidiary,[63] being released on January 18, 2007 for ₩150,000.[64] Popular Korean actor Jang Dong-gun has been enlisted to help promote the system. Nintendo Korea stated that they have sold more than one million units in the first year of sale with around 1.4 million sold as of April 2008.[65][66]
