Nintendo DS Lite Black: version 1

Saved 2026-09-11 09:49 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **product/00045496442422, Nintendo DS Lite Black**, the top free row of the wanted list (old 2007 title "nintendo ds lite black", priority 8), plus five stubs: brand/nintendo, company/nintendo (Nintendo Co., Ltd.), company/nintendo-of-europe (Nintendo of Europe SE), company/nintendo-of-america (Nintendo of America Inc.) and family/nintendo-ds-lite. Category is GPC brick 10003818 Video Game Consoles - Portable. Why this barcode: it was handed out by `wanted?claim=1`, and although no Open Food Facts, USDA, Open Library, MusicBrainz or Wikidata record exists, the web has enough to cite. An E.Leclerc marketplace page prints the EAN (as 45496442422) for "Console DS Lite noire" (`gtin_found` verdict `listing`), which gives a sourced FR Markets row, observed 2026-09-11 at EUR 119.99 for second-hand offers. The archived 2007 Barcodepedia page supplied the lead (a box sold in Germany). German listings were **not** used as evidence: none prints this barcode, and the eBay.de catalogue gives a black DS Lite a different EAN (0084119930960). Sources: - Product history (announced 26 January 2006, European launch 23 June 2006, discontinued April 2011) comes from Wikipedia's Nintendo DS article. - The French launch price and colours come from French Wikipedia. - Nintendo Co., Ltd. facts and its principal affiliated companies come from nintendo.co.jp's company profile. - Nintendo of Europe SE's register entry (HRB 135709) and VAT number come from its German Impressum; its former GmbH name is from its GLEIF LEI record. - The LEI numbers for Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Nintendo of America Inc. are from GLEIF. Relations: - brand_owner_at_sale: Nintendo, status sourced. - distributed_by: Nintendo of Europe for FR, status derived. Nintendo of Europe runs Nintendo's European operations; no pack photo names the distributor. - gs1_prefix_owner: Nintendo of America, status derived. The prefix 0045496 is in the US/Canada range and nothing names the registrant. Status is discontinued. The page has no ingredients or nutrition because it is not a food. Validate passed first try; the only index gap is an image, which `off_images` cannot fill with no Open Food Facts record, so the page will publish noindex. . Current is v2.

	75	+	note: Full evidence review of a product with no pack photograph and no catalogue record. The entry carried no Specifications section at all, which for a console is where the facts belong: ten sourced rows were added, with brightness, battery and charging time flagged as a schema gap because the controlled key enum has no term for them. The French market row gained condition used, since the console has been out of production since 2011 and the listing is a resale. colour was promoted to an Identity field on the strength of the listing, while model_number was deliberately left empty because the only source naming USG-001 carries a different barcode.

59		−	The DS Lite is the slimmer redesign of Nintendo's DS, with brighter screens and longer battery life. It was announced on 26 January 2006 and released in Europe on 23 June 2006, with early launches in Finland and Sweden, and was reportedly discontinued in April 2011.[^wp-nintendo-ds] French Wikipedia gives a European launch price of €150 and says white and black were the only colours at the French launch in June 2006.[^frwp-ds-lite]
	102	+	The DS Lite is the slimmer redesign of Nintendo's DS: 41 % smaller than the original, with two much brighter screens adjustable over four levels, a longer stylus stored in a side slot, and a shallower Game Boy Advance port that ships filled with a blank cartridge.[^frwp-ds-lite] Its top screen reaches 200 cd/m² and the lower touch screen 190 cd/m², and a 1000 mAh lithium-ion battery gives roughly 15 to 19 hours of play after about three hours of charging.[^wp-nintendo-ds] It was announced on 26 January 2006, reached Japan on 2 March, the United States on 11 June and Europe on 23 June 2006 at €150; white and black were the launch colours, and eight were sold in Europe in all.[^frwp-ds-lite] The model was reportedly discontinued in April 2011.[^wp-nintendo-ds]

## About <!--about-->
The black Nintendo DS Lite handheld game console, sold in Europe under this barcode. The 2007 Barcodepedia page for the number, written by an anonymous contributor, called it "Nintendo DS Lite black" and said the barcode came from a box sold in Germany.[^wanted-2007] An E.Leclerc marketplace page in France, "Console DS Lite noire", prints the same number as its EAN; the offers on it are second-hand consoles from third-party sellers.[^leclerc] No photograph of the box was available, so nothing on this page is transcribed from the pack.

The DS Lite is the slimmer redesign of Nintendo's DS, with brighter screens and longer battery life. It was announced on 26 January 2006 and released in Europe on 23 June 2006, with early launches in Finland and Sweden, and was reportedly discontinued in April 2011.[^wp-nintendo-ds] French Wikipedia gives a European launch price of €150 and says white and black were the only colours at the French launch in June 2006.[^frwp-ds-lite]

The brand belongs to Nintendo Co., Ltd. of Kyoto.[^nintendo-profile] Nintendo's European operations are run by Nintendo of Europe, opened in Großostheim, Germany, in June 1990,[^wp-nintendo] and today registered as Nintendo of Europe SE in Frankfurt am Main under HRB 135709,[^noe-impressum] formerly Nintendo of Europe GmbH.[^gleif-noe] The distributor relation for France is derived from that, not read from a pack. The barcode starts with 0045496, in the range GS1 issues to members in the United States and Canada; no public record names its registrant, so the prefix owner is given, as a derived link, as Nintendo of America Inc., the group's subsidiary in that region.[^nintendo-profile][^gleif-noa] The eBay.de catalogue lists a black DS Lite under a different EAN, 0084119930960, so German listings that print no barcode were not taken as evidence for this one.[^ebay-de-catalogue]
