Rumor: Enamel Navy no more?

by Eric Caoili on Jul 11th 2007 11:30AM

The morning's whisperings, hushed under raucous E3 speculation, indicate that the Enamel Navy DS Lite's days could be numbered. Supposedly, Nintendo will be halting all production of the Japan-and-China-only version of the handheld by the end of the month.

We don't favor its termination, but considering Nintendo's recent introduction of two new tints to the DS Lite line, Metallic Rose and Gloss Silver, trimming the number of available colors might be in the company's best interest. Expect to see import and auction prices for this endangered edition shoot up to the heavens.

Farewell, Enamel Navy! We hardly knew ye.

Stupid decision, because it was great.

Noooooo! Bring it here instead! /sob

Best color of them all.

Glad I got one in time, then- it was the only DS Lite color I really liked.

I'm a DS snob who had to wait to buy a DS lite from Japan in Enamel Navy. It was my first DS, and I still love her, but most people who care think it's black from a distance. Then I say, "No, it's Enamel Navy." They usually hit me for trying too hard to be pretentious.
