A DS Successor Mentioned at GDC

[Llama Riot]

...Details have surfaced from GDC at San Francisco, CA pointing to a potential release this year of Nintendo’s DS follow-up. This isn’t a new iteration of existing DS tech, either. The report mentions dual screens being used as one, an accelerometer, and development kits comparable to the GameCube...

I made this quick mock up to illustrate how this will most likely to be implemented:

NTITS "Nintendo Tactical Interface Touch System"

 

[Mr.Positive]

The only thing that could ruin a DS successor for me is region locking. I shouldn't have to resort to piracy if I want to play a game unreleased in my country.

 

[Jakob95]

I don't think I am going to buy it until it gets hacked/cracked in some way to play free games.

 

[haflore]

^ Me either, though only to play legitimate backups of course..

 

[Jakob95]

I just want it to be hacked for all the awesome stuff people could make for the DS2 since it will probably have a good CPU and RAM, and maybe a good graphics ship, like all the emulators they could make for it such as N64 or PS1 maybe. And also free games.

Right

I found this image of a fan-made ds2 as well. Looks like it could work.

It has a nice screen size, and an analog stick as well as a d-pad.

Hopefully they do away with the touch screen like in this mock-up.

The report mentions dual screens being used as one

what's the point then?

Backwards compatibility with the DS line.

Again, what's the point? Just because they're using two screens as one, doesn't mean old DS games wouldn't work. I see no problem here. After all, look at DS emulators for PC, they work fine on a single monitor, and you can even add a virtual separator between the screens to compensate for that space between the original DS' screens. Just do the same for DS2 or whatever...

The NTITS will most likely have ONE LARGE SCREEN so the point would be to clarify that DS games will still be playable on the NTITS.

huh?

 

[Uzumakijl]

Well, If it is as powerful as the Gamecube it'll suck i was expecting it to be as powerful as an XBOX (First one) But whatever...

It must have good...

*Buttons...

*D-Pad...

*Analog Stick...

*Online...

*Multimedia Capabilities...

*Screen...

*Games...

*Crosses fingers*

Anyways can't wait to see how the screen is, It would be extremelly awesome to have a full vertical screen (Perfect for vertical shmups!)

Please don't let me down again Nintendo...
