DS Lite launch partay!

by Conrad Quilty-Harper on Jun 11th 2006 4:00PM

Engadget's Paul Miller and Ryan Block dropped by Nintendo's official DS Lite U.S. launch party in New York over the weekend. Their write-up features a few dozen photos of the interior of the Nintendo World Store, including the above picture of Ryan being ~~molested~~ hugged by a giant Mario. They also snapped shots of people in the queue playing with their imported DS Lites (oh, the sweet fanboy irony), the first person to officially purchase a DS Lite in the U.S. and a functional Gulf War-damaged Game Boy.

Update: Should have been "Lite", not "lite."

No Way!
They sold the fragged Gulf War Game Boy? That was such a cool part of their little museum and a real testament to the durability of Nintendo hardware.

I got a DS Lite at midnight June 11 at my local WalMart, brought it home and found a dead pixel on both screens. So I took it back last night and they gave me no trouble for returning it and when I went back to get another one the cashier and I tried out a couple games and it seemed fine but when I got home and tried to play Mario Kart I noticed a dead pixel on the bottom screen. MY boyfriend's dad and his friend both bought perfect DSL's. I wonder how many are defective. Sigh
