Put down that masking tape and spray paint. At least one European retailer is advertising a better –
official – solution to your
want need hunger for a spiffier-colored DS (and one that doesn't require sending your lil' buddy into the
gizmo body shop). Spanish online games shop
Game.es has listed three new DS Lite offerings – "
Slime Lime Green," "Hot Red," and "Ice Blue" – with on-virtual-shelf dates of June 13, 2008.
Sure, they
could be quick Photoshop-ery, but a retailer isn't exactly going to win over customers by taking pre-orders for hardware that will never be. We hope they're legit and will pop up on US shelves before the year's out. Now, can we
please have some new
Wii colors?
Update: Confirmed.

Damn, how well would the Wii sell if offering in multiple colors?
I remember when multicolored N64s were introduced late into the console's lifespan, it gave it one last big jump in sales.

I believe the expression "chocolate covered crack" springs to mind.
Nick the Hero of Canton @ May 20th 2008 10:37PM
Well, judging by the current sales, if they add more colors, well...they'd probably be able to take control of the world's power system's and take over the economy and thus - the world.

They'll make new colors as soon as they can actually have white Wiis on shelves for more than one day.

Am I the only person disturbed by the imagery evoked by the words, "chocolate covered crack?"
BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392] @ May 21st 2008 2:44PM
Wrong crack, you fool!
MarkHawk @ May 20th 2008 10:06PM
Ill wait for the double shot edition... you know double shot ... like Zune... no?...
Anyone want to share songs?
RitzKrave @ May 20th 2008 10:11PM
Do want! *Looks for neon green Gameboy Color, green Gameboy and green mini classic Gameboy*
Seriously, why do consoles and handhelds nowadays lack so much color and choice (e.g. matte or -ugly- gloss)?!
nuero @ May 20th 2008 10:22PM
It's actual game.es, apparently, not games.es
John McPoop @ May 20th 2008 10:24PM
Hey I looked at the color for a few hours and I give it a 4.5/10 ... Its nothing new
Ninjakamster (XBL: RNK2K) @ May 20th 2008 11:01PM
Ooohhh................BURN!!!
finnith @ May 20th 2008 11:16PM
Why did you have to mention that?
CanadianZero @ May 20th 2008 10:31PM
"colours"... i see what you did there.
Dralzz @ May 20th 2008 10:35PM
No. The Wii will only come in new colors once everyone in America has one.
Including the people holding out for new colors.
... Especially those people.
Superstar90 @ May 20th 2008 11:25PM
I'd buy a green one, but not lime green. I want a normal to dark green coloured one.
FOXHOUND @ May 20th 2008 11:41PM
agreed.
If they're going to release something in that colour, it better be ECTO-COOLER. >:O
Yourself @ May 20th 2008 11:36PM
Maybe this will finally convince me to get a DS Lite?
Double J @ May 20th 2008 11:41PM
I'd kick your puppy for that Lime DS. I adore gaudy colored electronics. My phone, my headphones, hell, if they made the iPod classic in hot pink, I'd probably replace my boring white one with that.
giantenemycrab @ May 20th 2008 11:44PM
This better not be the redesign we've been hearing about.
kagai @ May 21st 2008 12:15AM
Oh Noes...Linda Blair just puked on my DS!
"Your mother plays Nintendo in hell!"
BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392] @ May 21st 2008 2:19AM
No, she doesn't! She plays card games in Hell!
drun @ May 21st 2008 4:34AM
reminds me of some kind of ice cream. good for summer :)
chez @ May 21st 2008 5:37AM
Lime green wouldn't sit well in my Ikea, Ilva and Mac furnished house so I'm sorry green, you're fired.
chez @ May 21st 2008 6:05AM
Oh but Ice Blue is wanted. Is it normal to have 2 DS Lites?
chadyasutora @ May 21st 2008 7:43AM
This isn't a rumour:

I might have to splash out on one of those green DSs before I become a real live student, and thus officially broke.
