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
color, the new Cobalt/Black version of the portable Nintendo DSâ„¢ 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 color 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 color to complement any outfit.
