Title: Newfangled Nintendo DS on the horizon?
Post by: leetachu on September 28, 2008, 04:52:00 PM
"Whoa, whoa -- what's this? A fresh report from Nikkei is pretty confidently talking about a new Nintendo DS destined to hit "within the year," though we aren't claiming to be full-fledged believers just yet. To be fair, this isn't the first we've heard of such a beast, though the translated description is pretty far out there. For instance, the new model will reportedly boast a camera that will be used heavily for games and offer a stronger wireless signal. Even crazier is the bit about "competing with cellular phones" and "exceeding the frame of the game industry." The article mentions that the device will eventually ship for ?20,000 ($189) or less, though it doesn't say what kind of sauce the author hit before writing commenced."

I don't believe it. :/ Sounds like another uber rumor to me.

its funny i found my ds under a hockey table leg. i was there probably a year or so. it had a broken screen. ;9
my sister has a DS lite and broke its spine just by flipping it open to hard.

what im saying is the Old DS is better for being more durable.

This is why the DS Lite is cool

It is, to an extent. The R buttons tend to stop working, after a while, for some reason... But I think the original's speakers are better.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Pikajew or whatever his name was. I actually really like your DS, because it has a triforce on it.

is it just a new selection of colors?

that camera talk crap seems totally useless.

agreed.

the only reason I still use it is because I can't afford to buy a lite, nor has my brick stopped working yet.

it's like the lite went on an iPod diet imo

The Brick has much more charm than a lite and it looks more cyber-tech
