Nintendo News | Japanese Event: 2 New DS Colours, Plus New Games!

Nintendo has just held a special retail conference over in Japan where two new DS colours were shown off, along with a bunch of confirmed dates for Wii and DS games. Below are the two new colours, Metallic Rose and Gloss Silver, which will launch on 23rd June [ Click to Enlarge ]:

As for the games mentioned by Nintendo, they were as follows:

• Chibi Robo: Park Patrol (NDS) - 5th July
• My Housekeeping Diary (NDS) - 12th July (part of the Touch! Generations series)
• Slide Adventure Magkid (NDS) 2nd August (includes slide controller)
• Donkey Kong Jungle Climber (NDS) - 9th August
• Mario Party 8 (Wii) - 26th July

Two things to note are that DK: King of Swing 2 has recently been dated for 19th July, 2007, so could this be an entirely different game? Also, the new DS colours coincide with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, with Nintendo clearly keen to push the latest portable Zelda.
