Every so often a new console is launched on the market and this year has been exactly the same. The great Nintendo have long been a great provider of fantastic games consoles with their massive successes with the outrageous Wii and the Nintendo DS and now the DSi.

Their most recent handheld console update has been a massive success. This latest upgrade to the DS and DS Lite is fully loaded with nifty features. It icludes 2 small cameras which the user can take pictures of himself and a friend and this along with software that can distort and manipulate the images provides something truly unique and lots of fun.

And when the DSi was launched it was provided in 2 colours, White and Matt Black. Both colours made the DSi look like a really quality product but Nintendo had more colours in the pipeline shortly after launch. Unhappy with just 2 colours they have now released another 3 colours. My preferred one is the Nintendo DSi Light Blue which is not as loud as the metallic blue or red.

The remaining 2 colours are in my opinion a little loud but I am sure they will also sell well. The second blue colour available is the Nintendo DSi Metallic Blue and is a slightly strange blue to sell.

The last new colour in the DSi range is the Nintendo DSi Red which is a little short of being blood red.

It is hard to know why these 3 colours were chosen but it is safe to say that the addition of 3 new colours has come on the back of popular demand. Although this is likely to have been initially fuelled by feedback from Japan where the DSi was initially launched.

Providing a lot more console colours might just be the start of a new direction from games providers. Historically they have remained witha few very popular colours but as we strive to get more personalised with our own personal favourite colour it seems the console makers are taking the hint at last.
