Nintendo Japan has announced an across-the-board price cut on their DS handhelds, including the new over sized DSi LL.
Beginning on June 19th, the DS Lite will drop from ¥16,800 to "open pricing," which allows retailers to name their own price on the device.
The popular DSi will drop from ¥18,900 to ¥15,000.
Dropping from ¥20,000 to ¥18,000 is the new DSi LL, which has 93 percent bigger screens than the DSi.
Additionally, Nintendo is releasing new colorways of the DSi LL; Blue, Yellow and Green. The console currently sells in Wine Red, Dark Brown and Natural White colorways.
Nintendo has sold over 30 million DS units (in all iterations) in Japan, and over 125 million worldwide.
