The system was released in Japan on November 21, 2009 in the colors WineRed/Burgundy, DarkBrown/Bronze, and NaturalWhite. It was released in the US on March 28, 2010, on time of Nintendo's "release in the first quarter of 2010" promise.

According to [[Nintendo]], the system was made to give players a different option to the [[Nintendo DSi]], similar to the [[Game Boy Advance SP]] and the [[Game Boy micro]] compared to the original [[Game Boy Advance]].
