Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata stated in an article with Reuters that the company’s newest DS model will be coming stateside no later than summer 2009.

“Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but an autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late,”

NOA president, Reggie Fils-Aime originally told press that the DSi wouldn’t be in the hands of gamers until Q4 2009, but the growingly unstable United States market might of pushed Nintendo to alter a few release plans. Don’t worry Europe! You’ll be getting your DSi Spring 2009.

Thanks, Joltman!
