Jumbo DS proves bigger is... bigger

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Sep 13th 2007 at 9:50PM }

If you find that the constant deluge of statistics and sales data still fails to convey the enormous success enjoyed by Nintendo's DS, perhaps a strong visual indicator will be enough to convince you. Constructed by one "loopy," this decidedly unportable device clearly proclaims that the DS is big in Japan. In fact, this one's big everywhere. Though it's really just a larger input and display powered by the normal DS' innards, it's estimated to cost $600 if you're setting it up from scratch. We recommend you print out the funds with your regular DS before proceeding.

Change your point of view for other ugly scenes and have a look at the video after the break.

THAT is freakin awesome. All I need to do now is spend 600 dollars, build it, and then I can play in style baby!!!

Just to display some pointless information I know . . . that is a screen from a Gateway m275 Tablet PC for anyone interested . . . if it says so in the video I didn't bother to watch it :)

This is simply excellent.

I'd like to see Benheck do this right.

3D graphics would look like crap on it, though.

I dunno, Mario Kart looks okay on it, but it's kinda hard to tell from this one video.

Ska Oreo @ Sep 13th 2007 10:41PM

Playing meteos on that thing would be killer.

Pzychotix @ Sep 13th 2007 10:45PM

Trauma Center would be ultimate. Just wow.

Nice Alphaville reference.

THAT WAS PURE WIN

As mentioned by yours truly at DSFanboy, I appreciate any opportunity to show half a block my Pokemons.

Sean @ Sep 14th 2007 10:20AM

So cool.

I'll never understand why Nintendo didn't include a simple address book and datebook application with the DS.
For a lot of people if they have to make a choice between a device that plays games but doesn't do anything else and a device that has PDA functionality and also plays solitare they're going to stick with the PDA.

I'm not saying that the DS could have replaced the PDA, but having basic address and organizer functionality could have made it a lot more *useful*.
