Japan got a few colors already, now it's time for America... A blue Nintendo DS called 'Electric Blue' will hit the stores in June.

Nintendo of America announced the first new color in the Western Hemisphere for the Nintendo DS. The "Electric Blue"-edition debuts in June and will become a permanent color in the DS palette, joining the original silver-and-black model, named "Titanium".

"This eye-catching new color comes at an ideal time," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Nearly 2 million Nintendo DS owners in North America alone have demonstrated they want something new from a hand-held video game system. Soon, consumers will have two popular choices for the innovative dual-screened Nintendo DS, which features touch-screen control, voice recognition and wireless play".

June also will see the release of two new DS games in the US. On June 13, Kirby: Canvas Curse will make players draw rainbow paths for Kirby to roll along as he stuns enemies and takes on their abilities.
Two weeks after that, June 27, the highly anticipated and highly addictive puzzle game Meteos will have players launching deadly falling meteors back into space with touch-screen precision.

At the moment, we have not yet received any confirmation about this new colored DS heading towards Europe, but we're pretty confident that we won't be left out.
