Spartan_X Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The Nintendo DS has been released in many different colours, with many special editions and many bundles - it?s hard to keep up with them all. The BGB InfoBank has been over the internet trying to find information and images of every single official DS version? so here we goStandard Colours - America The Nintendo DS was released in America with one colour in November 2004, Titanium. In June 2005 they released a new colour, Electric Blue. The system originally came with a copy of Super Mario 64 DStandard Colours - Japan Like in America, the DS only was in Titanium at its December 2004 release. Graphite Black and Pure White were later released on March 24th. Soon after, to launch with Nintendogs, Turquoise Blue and Candy Pink were released on April 21sStandard Colours - Europe The DS was also only in Titanium when it was released in Europe in March 2005. On October 7th, to coincide with the launch of Nintendogs (and bundles of the game) Pink and Blue systems were released. However, popularity of Nintendogs drove to shortages of the new colourStandard Colours - Australia Australia?s launch of the DS also only was with the one colour, Titanium. Mystic Pink and Cosmic Blue were later released September 2005 with the release of NintendSpecial Editions - Japanan The Hot Summer DS series consisted of: Hot Summer Contest - Mario White Hot Summer Contest - Bowser Black Hot Summer Contest - Peach Pink Hot Summer Contest - Yoshi Blue Hot Summer Contest - Wario Silver These were prizes in for a competition held by Nintendo in Japan. In image order: Toys ?R? Us Gold: This special edition of the Nintendo DS is sold exclusively in Toys ?R? Us stores in Japan.

PokePark Blue: This system is avaliable only in the PokePark in Japan, and in Walmart in the USA. It features the PokePark logo on the top and Pikachu inside the system. Pepsi Blue: Only 1000 of these light blue DSes were made, and were given away in a promotion in Japan. Other custom DS accessories were prizes, and two are shown in the Special Editions - America - America PokePark Blue was made for the PokePark in Japan, but later was made available in USA WalCustom Systemsom Systems There are only 11 custom Electroplankton DS systems. One belongs to the games creator, and the other ten were won by visitors to the Electroplankton exibition in Japan. 3 custom made Nintendo DS systems were auctioned off at the Sundance Film Festival. The DSes were won by Alan Cumming, Poppy Montgomery and Jay Mohr. Rapper 50 Cent ordered a custom DS from Nintendo, with a khaki camouflage design and G-Unit written on the front. These DSes are only available at the Nintendo World store in New York, featuring a glitter design. 50 special white DSes were created for the release of ?Bleach DS: Souten ni Kakeru Unmei?. Sega gave these away in a competition to coincide with Promotional Bundles - Japanundles - Japan A Red DS was released in Japan in a bundle with the fighting game Promotional Bundles - Americadles - America When the Electric Blue DS was first released in America it also contained a copy of Super Mario 64 DS. Teal and Pink versions of the DS were in special bundles, featuring a 4th version of Nintendogs with the most popular breeds from the other 3 versions as the starting breeds. A Mario Kart Red Hot Bundle contained Mario Kart DS, a Red DS system, special decals for the system and a spePromotional Bundles - Europendles - Europe Before the DS was released in Europe, a limited number of ?VIP Pak? systems were given away. How they were given away varied in each country, but in the UK they were in the Stars Catalouge (but also involved a payment in pounds sterling). It contained a DS, the Metroid Prime Hunters First Hunt demo, a Wario Ware demo and an American version of Super Mario 64 DS. There were two Nintendogs bundles in Europe: Pink Nintendogs: Dachshund and Friends Pak Blue Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends Pak Both of these bundles had a very high demand for them and quickly sold out. For the release of Mario Kart DS, a special bundle pak of the game was released. This contained a Titanium DS and the game. It contained no extras liPromotional Bundles - Australiaundles - Australia A bundle containing Mario Kart DS and a Titanium DS was launched along with the game seperatly. Like the European Mario Kart DS bundle, this was only worth it for being lower price than buying the game andSource:tly.

NeoTrunks Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Nice compilation. I was thinking about getting that pink one imported for my girlfriend (she thinks it's so cute). Then, I saw that pink one bundled with Nintendogs. Anyone know if the game is language intensive? She doesn't speak a word of Japanese, so if it does require a lot of Japanese reading (or speaking, since I think there are commands you can tell the dogs), I'll just pick up the standalone pink version.

Spielo Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Nice compilation. I was thinking about getting that pink one imported for my girlfriend (she thinks it's so cute). Then, I saw that pink one bundled with Nintendogs. Anyone know if the game is language intensive? She doesn't speak a word of Japanese, so if it does require a lot of Japanese reading (or speaking, since I think there are commands you can tell the dogs), I'll just pick up the standalone pink version. Nintendogs isn't text-heavy, but the text there is is definately important, I wouldn't go for the Japanese version unless you can read Japanese. If you wanted a special bundle, you could try and track down the European Pink DS+Nintendogs bundle... but I think it's quite hard to find now.

Winged Panther Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 You also forgot the new one that sega is sponsering: Sega is currently holding a contest whose prize is a white DS with a skin of Doraemon on the front. Don't know how you'll get a pic of that, & how come no pics of the Bleach ones from the contest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
