The ancient prophecies foretold of the one time someone would put a custom painted DS Lite on eBay and it would not look terrible. This Hero of Painted DS Lites, now revealed as viper640_0 from the idyllic POWER SELLER VILLAGE, whose early efforts lacked magic.

Now, however, he has acquired the Airbrush of Paint and defeated the Impulse to Use Questionable Color Schemes, and has returned from his quest with the Triforce of Pretty Good Paint Jobs. And, uh, he’s selling it on eBay. We would be proud to carry this DS Lite around in Hyrule or even somewhere that existed.

During Activision’s conference call about their Q4 earnings, Activision dropped a relatively large bomb: in addition to the normal game/controller bundle, Guitar Hero: On Tour will be released as a bundle with both the Guitar Grip and DS Lite hardware. This portable Guitar Hero thing is much bigger than we thought, and this show of confidence on Nintendo’s part bears out Todd Greenwald’s prediction of big sales.

In addition, Activision’s Mike Griffith announced a new DS-exclusive Tony Hawk game to be released this year, that will “utilize new technology not yet seen on the DS.” Maybe it’ll be wheels, so you can ride your DS for real.
