It was inevitable.

The company that brought you the Game Boy Advance...and the Game Boy Advance SP...and the Game Boy micro has brought you their first (and likely only) redesign of their DS system. And it's awesome, as expected.

It looks more than a little Apple-like, but that's okay, because Nintendo and Apple share design philosophies (Nintendo is the Apple of the games industry, after all).

It comes out March 2 in Japan.

I hope it ships with optional colors when it first ships in the US. I like the cobalt on my SP.

Every time I've sat down with a DS I've had a lot of fun, but I've disliked that they are kinda bulky. I don't think I'd buy one of these, but it is more tempting now.

Sweet! I've been wanting to get a DS badly since Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and Advance Wars came out... but I've been waiting hoping that Nintendo would update the design. And they have! I never really liked the size and shape of the original DS. Superb!!!
