Following the rampaging success of the Nintendo DS around the world, with the portable platform storming the US market over the festive period, selling over two million units alone, Nintendo of America has today revealed that it will be unleashing a brand new colour system very soon - a Cobalt Black Nintendo DS Lite.

Following on from an early listing over at Circuit City, which has now been removed, Nintendo has officially lifted the lid on the new coloured revision of the multi-million selling DS Lite, according to UK website Cubed³. Check out the official line from Nintendo itself:

“The best-selling video game system in the world is adding a cool new color scheme to its wardrobe on Feb. 10. Like a black T-shirt with a splash of colour, the new Cobalt/Black version of the portable Nintendo DS grabs your attention. It looks good whether it’s toted in your school backpack, pulled from your purse or riding with you on a family trip. Cobalt/Black marks the seventh colour in the Nintendo DS Lite palette. It joins Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx, Crimson/Black and the limited-edition Gold and Metallic Rose. Now there’s a Nintendo DS colour to complement any outfit.

“Nintendo DS just finished 2007 as the best-selling video game system in the United States, with more than 8.5 million sold last year alone. Since it launched in November 2004, Nintendo DS has sold more than 17.6 million in the United States. Its smart looks, innovative touch screen and voice recognition features, and remarkable software have reinvented the way people think about video games while attracting girls, women, baby boomers and seniors to the world of video games in record numbers.”
