Looking for a present for a loved one? Perhaps one of Nintendo's newly coloured handhelds will fit the bill, the platform holder would certainly argue they do.

Previously, we were only offered black and white models of the revised portable, but now we're set to get Metallic Blue, Light Blue and Red come October 23rd.

The new SKUs will come with support pre-installed, and there is also Flipnote Studio, which allows users to create and share their own mini-movies.

Additionally, users accessing the DSi Shop via their console before March 31st next year will get 1,000 free DSi points to spend - continuing their efforts to get people online.

October 23rd it is.
