Nintendo DS Lite now available in US

June 1st 2006 | Games Consoles

Although the Nintendo DS Lite handheld console isn’t supposed to be released in the United States until Sunday, June 11, reports indicate that several stores, including Walmart and Target, have already placed the coveted handheld on store shelves.

It is unknown whether or not the stores intended on selling the DS Lite early, or if it was a mistake. Because of the number of stores around the nation that have them available, it looks like both companies decided not to honor the embargo date on the console. Japan has seen high demand but extremely low supply of the DS Lite.

The DS Lite will have a retail cost of $129 when "officially" released on June 11.
