Wait. Does that say Nintendo BS in the title? Maybe it's just my imagination.

Nope, it certainly is BS.

Your statement that it is BS is BS.

I believe he means to skip over the Lite. As do I.

As long as the next one doesn't resemble this:

If there is a new DS in the works, I bet anything its main selling point will be motion sensoring crap and other features to make it more compatible with the cash cow Wii (ala remote play)

They mean a new SKU of DS, not a new Nintendo portable system.

yes I know its still a DS but nintendo always includes something new into their upgrades, to warrent a repurchase. The lite really has no big design flaws, so that means something entirely new is probably in store. And knowing how they think, its aint going to be multimedia functions or online features; I'm predicting it will be more motion stuff, so they can remake Wiisports and other waggling-shovelware on the DS and make a crap load more money. Thats an easy billion dollars if they time it right and release it when the demand for the Wii starts to die down.

Opera has a DS game out that can take you online. I hear it's crappy(no Flash player, slow loading times) but Nintendo sells it exclusively on their site...

I'm just hoping for some flash memory that'll let me take my virtual console games on the go.

"but nintendo always includes something new into their upgrades"

No they don't. They never do in terms of input devices, they only improve the screen/brightness and the size of the unit itself. NOTHING ELSE.

I think the fact that you can't imagine any way Nintendo can make the DS more awesome speaks more about YOU than about them.
This is what we get from the generation who believes that "more polygons and more blooming effects" equals hardcore innovation.

Thats not an answer genius. Give me some hardware upgrades to the lite that would warrant a repurchase, which are not entirely new to the system.....

It would be cool if that actually folded up correctly. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it would.

The whole 'why two screens' question seemed quite pertinent at the time, until I actually used the thing and figured it'd be pretty hard to play if your hand was covering the only screen in some games.

A Wii cut in half? So in other words it would be a portable gamecube! :D

No a gamecube is half a wii without duct tape.
A wii CUT in half is just half a wii.

In response to the pic:

Ohh Nintendo! When will they cease their non-stop domination of the portable gaming market. I'll say one thing, I hope they lower the price on the DS at least before they release a new revised version of it.

It kind of annoys me to be reading about this possible redesign just two days after purchasing a Nintendo DS Lite for myself.

If anything, I'd like to see a home-brew friendly DS. One can dream. :p

(other alternatives include: Phone/DS, PDA/DS, MP3 player/DS (with the option to replace tunes ingame, or extrace tunes to listen off-game))

Nintendo BS.....nice. Even if the thing was real, how the hell would you fold it up? It boggles my mind.
