A new DS coming soon???

[Glacius0]

This time is different because a well-respected professional newspaper is running the story. They are way more respected than say for instance famitsu.

We've had a bunch of completely unfounded rumors about a DS redesign, and everyone believed it. This time we have actual reason to believe the story and nobody is listening anymore?

Please learn your lesson after thursday when the DS redesign is announced.

hahahahahohohoho reminds me of the boy who cried wolf hahahahahahahaha

:

How about a small and friendly dealextreme.com wager? If I'm right, you buy me something off of that website, and if you are, I'll buy you something ^^ Doesn't matter what you buy. Sounds like fun, right? Deal?

no it doesn't sound fun....

Nice, laughing at someone's opinion and then not even willing to put up one or two dollars to back up your own words eh

Nintendo answered to the rumor:

We are always developing new products. However, since nothing has been announced officially, we are unable to comment at this time.

Most gaming news sites are posting it as true.. so, the source must be reliable..

I think there's some truth and some speculation to it..

DS sales are getting stale in Japan since almost every person in there has one already, so.. now would be a good time for a redesign to be released, also, it will probably have some kind of protection against flashcards.. but, the new DS is supposed to have SD card support.. so, sooner or later someone will find a way to use homebrew without flashcards

hmmmmmm well i dont plan on getting one till we find workarounds so that we can continue to pirate

They must be working on a new DS cuz from that quote they didn't deny it in any way, they basically tried avoiding 'yes'.

let's hope that whatever it is, flashcarts work on it right off the bat lol. Obviously, they won't play whatever the new type of game is (unless they keep it .nds o-o) but as long as the new hardware can still play DS games and my flashcart can still load them up, I'll get one.

the new nds is said to be flashcart proof

I'm sure hackers will find a work-around to it. And if not... no DS2 for me.

No one said that.. and there's no way to know right now

Speculation only, but if Nintendo let this chance pass..

 

[Raven Darkheart]

though as i think bout it more
if it was flascart proof nintendo would be shooting itself in the foot but i will wait it out

Now, how does that work? We hearties steal software from Nintendo and other companies. It's only natural and smart to want to protect your property, soooo...

I will most likely not be getting one of these. I'm still fine with my massive original model DS. =P

Nintendo (and Sony and MS) get more money from software than hardware.. for each game sold, a small part goes to the hardware developers. Also, I doubt more than 10% of DS owners have flashcarts.. So, no, they're loosing nothing with this.

They couldn't disable flash cards without FUBARing compatibility with all currently existing DS games, which would mean disgruntled owners of millions of games. Alternatively, any provision included in new games would prevent the millions of current DS owners from playing them and alienate them. And that's all there is to it.

Although it is always entertaining to see people crying over their concern that piracy will be eradicated every time there's a new game with a bug, or every new system or peripheral released, etc. So please, don't let that deter you. Carry on.

 

[Sstew]

I might get one.., but for now my Original Fat Electric Blue DS will suit me fine.

 

[Renegade_R]

DS Phat Silver - Changed casing to offbranded DS Phat White...and I'm damn proud...

Build a new DS out of lightweight aluminum and I'm sold in a heartbeat.

I don't see why.. they could add some chip to recognize if your card is an original game card or a flashcard..

 

[Raven Darkheart]

they would really risk alienate the core old school gamers?
i doubt it

 

[mysticwaterfall]

I don't really see this quote from Nintendo as much of a confirmation. I mean, it's a given that Sony is working on the PS4 right now, but they're not going to say that.

That said, I think a DSv3 will be out next year sometime, but I doubt a "DS2" will be out for for a while. There's no reason for it.

but they always say "at this time"
and we have no plans.


Cause they don;t release anything till shigsy says they can.

Anyway, the new DS will have 3 SLOTs.
One for GBA/Expansions (SLOT-3) one for NDS cards (SLOT-2) and one for whatever tiny, yet efficient flashcard-proof card system they will have (SLOT-1)
The entire vocabulary of myself and some others willl be confusing then.
