We are reporting live from the Nintendo DS Lite launch in Johannesburg. Following the success of the Wii launch in September last year, Core Group has pulled out all the stops to put together a great launch event for the DS.

First things first…the Nintendo DS Lite will be available in all major retail outlets for a retail price of R1 799 from 1 February. The question on everyone’s minds has been what launch titles will hit the streets, and today we can confirm that New Super Mario Bros. (R449), Nintendogs (R449), Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old is your Brain (R349) and Mario Kart DS (R449) will be available from 1 February.

The DS Lite will be available in four colours: white, black, silver and pink.

Also launching in South Africa today is the big slugger titles for the Wii including the legendary Super Mario Galaxy (R499) and Mario Party 8 (R499).

More to follow later regarding how well the Wii has been received in South Africa and more coverage of the event.

Update:The DS Lite will be in stores from 1 March and not 1 February as stated.
