Ugh, its oogly.
The whole Rev thing is nice, but they might as well put some baby alphabet blocks on it while their at it :/
Though I admit it would look great in differnt colors.
But its jsut too slick looking.
I do hope nintendo makes a anneversy model one year though.
Imagen a NES controller styled DS? xD (not a skin, a darn dual screen rectanguler block
)
Now lets see,
I dont like how its even smaller now. All those complaints about the machine being too big were pretty stupid. The machine isnt big or huge or anything, heck is smaller than the older stuff. Its just a big rectangle is all.
The lights seem inda cool though, probly easier to notice.
The mic, oh gosh, worst pllace ever.
Sure it makes sence for games you blow on and talking to virtual puppies. But no matter what you do, you will spit on the bottom screen :/ Heck I have enough troubles with my lil cousin playing my DS and marioi kart in battle mode x-x; Though he does take really good care of it besides the few bits of saliva on it.
Though then again, if the screen isnt sunken into the machine, then perhaps it wont be so hard to clean for once
The GBA cover sounds dumb to me, though very usefull. Its just that I wonder where the cover is gonna hang when I have a GBA cart in it >.> I do hope it covers the GBA cart too. (I guess that one might be obvoius)
Personally I like the old desgin best. The power button bottom screen and light is the only things Id wanna change. Though it is pretty blocky, I have big hands, so it really wasnt trouble to get used to
The start buttons... I dont think Im gonna like them being under my thumb :/
Oh and about the light, where the heck is the light button gonna be? It cant be software controled without a firmware upgrade of some sort. Maybe it'll be software only feature? Or perhaps it'll run trough each mode when switching the lights on and off in a game normaly?
I guess we'll have to wait for that, but Im hoping for a physical button
Oh ya, one last thing.
When the heck is nintendo gonna release a headset?
Im getting tired of all these mic gimmicks, no online multiplayer chatting, and no darn headset x-x;
Maybe that little square peg that sits unused is starting to get to me >.>
I do hope they dont remove that, Ive been wanting to see a headset for a long time now.
Though perhaps it wont happen, since nintendo is going for the "for everyone" thing rather than targeting toward teenagers and college kids :/
But eh, just have to see and wait.
I do hope they dont do anything more againast the hacks. I need my homebrew stuff

That's pretty fucking lame IMO. They should at least do one global firmware upgrade for all DSes. Seriously, who actually uses Pictochat other then for a couple of seconds 'just for fun'? It's definately impractical when your mate is only 100 metres away. Plus, you can't even invite another person, you just have to pray somebody else joins.
WiFi Pictochat and a better use of the Download feature should be implemented IMO.

So nintendo is definitely on my suck list for once again making a sexier version of a handheld system that I'VE ALREADY BOUGHT!!!

Mwahahaha! I've been waiting for Nintendo to do this ever since the Micro got released. It's just seemed obvious to me, esp given the PSP's more streamlined look over the original DS. It's been hard going all this time without a DS, but this one will definitely be mine! (well actually, I've already got way too many games that I haven't gotten around to playing, but...)

No doubt in my mind I'll end up with at least two of these... Nintendo sure knows how to milk their products.... I think they release big ugly units first on purpose...
Call me a sucker but I'm getting one of these (either the white or blue one).
Sigh I still own all of these: GB (first brick one), GBC, GBA, GBA:SP, GBM, DS and soon to be DS Lite

Hmmm, sure it's smaller and lighter, but I think I'll probably stick with the DS I already have.
I don't like the placement of Start and Select, nor do I like the Power button not being on the face of it.
It was a good design decision to put it there for the original DS, that way the DS won't turn on while it's in your bag or anything.
Smaller = harder to hold. The only thing that bugs me about my DS is the sharp corners that dig into my hands, but this looks pretty much the same in that department.
I wonder if the speakers are worse or better.
Microphone between screens = spit all over your screens.

How the crap do you guys spit on your screen or anywhere on your DS?
A real shot of the lite might look better than the mockup so I'll wait for those.
I like the fact that the power button isn't a face button anymore. When I'm in a rush to turn off my DS while playing Animal Crossing I'll sometimes hit the power button instead of Start to save. @___@

even from the shitty two block model, i can tell its a damn sexy design. its good seeing some perspective on any design, those official DS images made the current design look slick even lol
guys need to learn to talk without spitting!
and if/when they figure out how to get Flashme on this new thing, I'm definately down for a shiney black one and like someone mentioned earlier, keep my old one for a DS-less friend to join in some download play.

Hehe, I've still got an unopened original brick GB (the special bundle that came with Zelda: Link's Awakening). I'm saving it for like 20 years from now when it will look super-ancient, then I'm gonna whip it out (the GB, that is) and start playing next to some guy with the PSP4 or something... hardcore oldschool.Call me a sucker but I'm getting one of these (either the white or blue one).

I do this too. Mainly when Im real tired and just want to get through the chores of the game already.
I'll get done with everything, then click, its off and I gotta do it all over again. Plus a nice happy talkl with that ol mole >.>
Oh and as for hardcore retro stuff. The GB mono would be worth quite alot by then, so you should prbly not open it up and just grab an old Game Gear instead. Cuase not only would no one know what it was, it would defintly seem old xD
I love my game gear
I do love the old oriognal GB too.
Nothing beats that green dot matrex LCD screen :3

yes looks better than the big american fridge style.. it's nice to see the gba slot has a cover (finally??) maybe that would cover up the reason to buy one and the biggest flashcard around oh no i forgot to buy the micro too well i'm glad having gba/sp's flashing then i only needed a cable converter for link'ing up the gbm to gba. those are just sweet dreams.. i wonder also about wifi what does it have to do with bottom of this page lo-fi?or like hi-fi .. and the microphone sometimes i think its all about feedback on what security..maybe good thing luigi works underground and my brother working in a bakery.
well maybe I'm wrong but sometimes you have to yell to get the DS to hear you properly...
I don't know. Never played a game that used the mic (thankfully)
Nah, no need to yell - if anything you should try lowering your voice. I've even written it down in my Nintendogs FAQ: "Do not SHOUT into the microphone!! Speak with a normal tone, it's not necessary to raise your voice - The DS's microphone is pretty sensitive and _will_ catch your words even if you use a regular tone."
