Nintendo go pink again


Anything Sony can do Nintendo can do better - or is it the other way round? Anyhow, Nintendo have announced the October 27th launch of the pink DS Lite. According to the press release it will, "find a happy home in the most stylish of bags and is perfect for those on the go."

Elsewhere at the Leipzig Games Convention, Nintendo have announced two new Wii games. The tentatively titled - and you can see why - Mario Strikers Charged (update of Mario Smash Football) and Battalion Wars II. Curiously unexcited by the thought of those two? Me too. Still, I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with the Wii on the showfloor tomorrow. Ten minutes of Super Mario Galaxy at E3 wasn't enough to decide whether it was a stellar leap forward - my initial feeling - or a fiddly annoyance that distracted from the tightly controlled and perfectly designed Mario experience. We'll see.
