DS Lite launch announcement!

Hot off the presses this one as highly secret sources have just revealed to CVG that a DS Lite launch announcement is imminent.

Unfortunately our furtive tipsters say we'll have to wait until Monday for full disclosure, but they seem certain Nintendo is finally set to confirm a UK and European release next week, when we'll have both the day and a confirmed price for the super sexy revamped handheld.

You may remember yesterday's story when we explained why we heavily tipped a late June launch for the DS Lite over here in the UK and Europe, with our own sources - and wider developments - including the release of Super Mario Bros. DS, making the latter weeks of June most likely.

Advertisement:Well now it seems Nintendo is almost ready to come clean and so we'll give you our final prediction of a June 23 launch with the DS initially only being in available Crystal White, at the rather attractive price of 150 EUR or about 101.63 GBP - say round it down to 99 Quid for cash, governor.

Tune back in on Monday when all the DS goodness is finally unveiled.

Is there a US release date? I already have a DS, but that DS Lite is too awesome not to buy it :)

Also another update:

New Zealand and Australia will be recieving the New Nintendo DS Lite a week before the US does and also long before its european release. Wow isnt that amazing to know that the most quietest place in the world receieves the most beautiful piece of Machinery.
