Nintendo today confirmed earlier rumors by announcing a Cobalt/Black version of the DS Lite, which the comapny describes as "like a black T-shirt with a splash of color."

The dark blue color marks the seventh shade the system has received since its inception, and stands as the next logical step on the color wheel following Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx, Crimson/Black, and the limited-edition Gold and Metallic Rose.

The newly painted systems will hit stores on February 10.

I need a new DS. I got a white one for christmas and it fell in the toilet about a week later :( No Nintendo support here in NZ either so I can't get it repaired :\ But I do not find these colours attractive. I'll probably go black...

Dear Nintendo - This is the resolution you should be releasing Super Smash Bros. screenshots at. Not that 320x480 crap.

Maybe they should spend less time developing pretty color DSs and more time getting existing DSs onto goddamn store shelves.

finally! this is just the one I've been waiting for to replace my similarly colored DS Dim. I had been tempted to get the Japanese Enamel Navy one, but couldn't justify the premium on top of replacing my perfectly good original DS.

Wow, this makes my Electric Blue DS Phat look kinda sad. :(

I hope they bring back that nice folding case that came with the Crimson/Black model. A matching cobalt case would look incredibly sharp.
