Green DS Lite bundle planted May 3

I own this one.

I bought it to replace another DS that I lost. I already owned Personal Trainer, so I gave the new copy to a friend. I also already had a case (and wouldn't be caught dead with that purse thing), so I gave the one that came with it to a girl I knew that had a DS.

I'm about to replace it with a 3DS (haven't decided on color, but I'm leaning towards purple), but I'll hang onto the Lite. I'll need it anyway to trade Pokemon to Black and Black 2 from my fourth gen games.

I'm new to the site and I don't classify myself a hard core gamer. I just bought a DS lite and have no loyalty to any gaming systems. Therefore I'm surprised that so many people are being so closed minded as I have seen here. Why do you care how a DS is bundled or what color it is? For years I have had to deal with the intimidation and lack of consideration that prevented, me - a girl, the desire to play games more seriously. So for those of you, you can take your "green chunks" and your "games for gamers" opinions "to boot" and let them blow like "dust in the wind" and may "God help . . ." you take others into consideration. I wrote a blog on this about a week ago but I had to wait till I was a level 3 before I could comment. Please feel free to leave me a comment or two if you'd like.

this color is better suited if it was called Slimer edition once Ghostbusters game comes out.. i don't even know if Ghostbusters will come to DS anyway, but as i've said this color best suits Slimer

@KhanhAgE: It looks nice, and the system too. And if I carry one of these around the streets, it doesn't make me a pantsy, it means I'm secure about my sexuality. In fact chicks like nice things in nice colors, know what am sayin'?

The green and white carry case looks nice and all... but I think that any man caught in public holding one is going to look like total a pansy (a pansy who looks like he is carrying a purse).

I'm just upset I never got my hands on the gold Zelda edition DS lite. How about an orange or a purple?

what...oh, thats right, UK have this for ages, I wish they chose a better colour that that really light blue which I think they call turquoise? (doesn't look it imo) Lime's all right, Red's all right, but the third colour...not so much

Oh now they come up with a decent color, almost 4 years after I get my Lite...

Itsnot the nicest of colours and the UK have has this for a while.

Is it just me or does that bundle look good?

looks cool lolz =P

I actually like the color... its has that peaceful look :)

I personally think that is a sexy awesome color...

Greenpeace says hi.

they should have white too

I guess snot green didn't sell to good in Japan so now they are flogging it else where. I guess it would make it harder to lose.

oooh snot green

i want a new dsi colour, a dark green maybe? just something other than that hideous blue

One thing will top the red DS Lite, GCwasthebestsys. The discovery of the capslock button, the one that you discovered once before and haven't been able to find since you pressed it.

GO GREEN! the earth-friendliest ds is finally here!

On another note, I'm still deeply surprised Clubhouse Games hasn't been a pack-in game. They even rereleased it since the first print a few years ago was lamentably small (and knocked the price up to $50+. It's now a nice $20). It should be the Tetris of the DS. It appeals to just about anybody, it has online play, online pictochat that's better than the built-in one, and... well... it's just great. The community would be huge if every DS came with it. From Memory to Shogi, Stratego to Solitaire, and of course staples like Chess, Checkers, Hearts, Othello and even Battleship. It provides plenty to do even when you're alone, unlocking avatars and other fun bonuses with challenges. There's even a mode where you play through each game one to three times (skilled players can win in one play and go to the next game, new players practice and go on to the next game after a few rounds). The game has well-written instructions for every game in-game. You can also send demo's to others, allowing them to play one of the 42 games to their hearts content until they turn the system off. Also, single-card play allows up to 8 players and they manage to do that without cutting out anything. The only real flaws are that purists might not enjoy some of the game rules in the card games, the physics in action games like billiards aren't very good (but there's very few of those), and a DS is required for each player, as there's no mode to pass the DS. Also, the DS was practically made so we could have Clubhouse Games, it plays like an absolute dream. It's worth owning solely as a copy of "Pictochat Online". It's a touch generations game as well. Completely inoffensive, and perfect for children and the elderly. But no, we get crap like Personal Trainer: Cooking. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. The reprint is a nice second chance for those who missed out. Oh, and DSi owners probably ought to ignore the downloadable Clubhouse Games. This is $20 to that games' $5, but it's much more than 4x better. I don't mean to sound like an ad, but really. Who else agree's Clubhouse Games would've been the perfect pack-in game?

btw i bet this cooking game just never sold and they have a huge stockpile of it so they need to get rid of them

NOTHING WILL EVER TOP THE RED "M" MARIO DS LITE IMO. I GOT ONE STILL IN THE PACKAGING

Personal Trainer: Cooking?! I HAVE to get a vomit green DS Lite now! Ummm... I'm still holding on to my original silver DS from launch that came with First Hunt. The d-pad is better, and unlike my friend's DS Lite, the hinge is not cracked and my GBA games don't all stick out of the bottom halfway. Too bad about the screen being dimmer, but what're ya gonna do?

I-I-It's.... strangely alluring, yet repulsive at the same time. That's an awful game to bundle with it though. And a purse-thing to boot. Should've made the DS standalone for $120. This was aimed at casuals though, so in that sense this marketing is absolutely brilliant and right in time for mother's day I think.

dont waste your time, get a dsi

What a disappointment. I saw the title of this article, and I got excited, hoping for maybe a nice-looking dark green DS Lite with a good game, maybe even at a cheaper price (like $120). I got this ****. What an ugly color, and who plays Personal Trainer: Cooking? I hate those so-called life training games. If I want to learn how to cook, I'll ask a real person who knows how to cook, not touch a screen with a stylus. I guess I'll just keep waitng for a price drop, then get the DS Lite.

whats the point of this when the dsi just came out. shouldn't they be promoting the new system.

I don't even care what color a system has, unless it is pink or something. I believe it's the games that matter. Nintendo could have used this color or something, but bundled the system with a much better game like mariokart or yoshi's island. No matter how cool the color is, the game will make a bigger difference.

Dear Nintendo: The color isn't a reason to buy a DS, the games are. I hope this is not the future of gaming :S.

Are you kidding me. im not saying that this was a bad idea for nintendo but this may appel to only a certain audience. Though most will buy it for the green ds. thats what i think

Ok I like the idea of coloured DS but that is one ugly colour

I think Nintendo needs to focus less on color coordinating options for people, less on "games" for my mom and grandma and more on games for gamers.

this is another example that the casual market is slowly taking over and the real gamers are losing ground. may god help us all because im starting to get scared.

theres a lot of stuff i love about the ds. and there's a lot of stuff that worries me. this is one of the things that worries me. I'm not going to knock nintendo for going in this direction, but i just hope the other companies dont follow and leave us "gamers" to become dust in the wind. its quite obvious that this "casual gamer" market is far larger and easier to sell to than us, as the wii and DS have more than doubled the PS3, PSP, and 360 sales, and the people at sony and microsoft arent idiots. so, i guess while i dont mind that nintendo is going this way, i hope that it doesnt hurt us "gamers" in the future

This is just more pure proof of Nintendo's wide ranging demographics and their at times genius marketing. Hardly any core gamer or Gamespot visitor is going to give two flying goombas about this, but we all know it's not targeted at us. Mom's and the few still non gaming girlfriends out there will thoroughly enjoy a package like this. They don't need the expensive DSi so Nintendo will sell them the cheaper DS lite, and give them the quite amazing Personal Trainer Cooking they actually will use. And from experience I know girls love to match their DS with a case, so a green/white case tops it off. I don't know why anyone would be complaining about this since if you're reading this it's probably not for you anyway. Now go out and buy your mom this for Mother's Day.

they made this to show how much cooler the Dsi is. PS: Halo 3 sold more copies than the Dsi system in the first week

Nintendo already has a stranglehold on the casual market, they're starting to beat a dead horse with this and the DSi

Lame game and an ugly color. Too little for $149.99

lol thats horrible both the game and the color of the dsi

Wow very odd that they wouldn't just be treating the Lite like last years version and start supporting the DSi more. My guess is its cheaper to make and there probably thinking that the lower price tag might keep the gamer that doesn't want to spend more then $150, but stilll very odd.

Sorry - Nintendo blows green chunks again ...... Puke green and lame game - what is the incentive to buy?

maybe have to get my girlfriend this so she doesn't have to use my DS for her yoga game...

With "Personal Training Cooking"? Just what is Nintendo thinking lately? Bundle it with a cool game please.

Wow. I wasn't expecting this! Interesting move by Nintendo.

OMG its green now theres a reason for me to buy it. *sigh* Nintendo think of something new

green but nothing about the environment....?

weird its coming up just after the DSi. i'd rather get a DSi.. but.. my DS Lite white is just fine. maybe in a year or so.. i take a wait n see. its just too much money for me to buy it just to check out the gimmicks & stuff, unsure of whatever it is they'll end up making (or not) of it all.

I am happy with my white Lite.
