Gold and Rose DS in the wings?

Rumours have flared up about two new Nintendo DS colours headed for North America. According to reports on GottaDeal.com, a Sear’s catalogue due out on Black Friday shows two new Nintendo DS bundles.

New Nintendo DS bundlesThe first bundle contains a metallic rose DS marked by a paw print and comes bundled with Nintendogs while the second bundle contains a gold DS marked by a triforce logo and comes bundled with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The bundles are reasonably priced at $149.99, amounting to almost $15 less than what one would normally pay for a DS and a game sold separately but the same price as the Brain Age 2 bundle which boasts a crimson and onyx DS with the Brain Age 2 game.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally marks the beginning of holiday spending in the States with consumers heading to retail stores in their droves to score deals. While the Nintendo Wii is sure to be this season’s ‘must have’ item, the Nintendo DS will no doubt also prove popular this festive season.

Japanese gamers are already happily DS’ing on a metallic rose DS in the land of the rising sun so it is plausible that Nintendo would release a similar colour in the US. Also plausible is the gold theme matching Zelda which has also popped up in the past. In addition, a Nintendo rep commented to GameSpot “Unfortunately, I don’t have any info at this time. Stay tuned.”

Just a matter of time then.
