DS Lite coming June 11

A press release sent out today stated that the Nintendo DS Lite will be coming to North America on June 11th.

The handheld that many Nintendo fanboys are salivating over will be priced as low as $129 USD (probably around $149 CDN).

Also featured in the press release were the enhancements to the system over the older Nintendo DS:

• It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.


• Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.


• The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.


• The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.


• The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.


• A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use.
