Green DS Headed to US

As if Nintendo doesn’t have enough of our money after the recent launch of the DSi, they’re bringing another DS to American shores. In a press release this morning, they announced a new green DS.

Apparently, Nintendo is aiming this DS model squarely at your mom. According to their press release, “The new bundle will be available on May 3, which just happens to be a week before Mother’s Day (hint, hint).” In keeping with this idea, the new green DS will be bundled with a carrying case and a copy of Personal Trainer: Cooking.

You can check out the full press release, as well as photos of the packaging and questionably attractive carrying case, after the break.
