Nintendo launches Brain Age edition DS handheld

Nintendo today officially unveiled the DS Lite Brain Age Edition, offering one of the first game-specific versions of the handheld available in North America. The new model comes in a unique, two-tone crimson/onyx color and also ships with a copy of Brain Age 2 to get users started on the intellectual training game, as well as a matching black travel case with red trim. The system is otherwise unchanged from the DS Lite released last year. Both the stand-alone game and the Brain Age Edition console should be available in shops this week, with the latter selling for $149.
