Codename for Nintendo's new handheld

[kicknhorse]

This is one of the larger Nintendo handheld communities on the web who's to say we don't have the right to give it a proper codename? Nintendo is not going to release a codename kicknhorse, and probably not the official name until very close to announcement time.

Actually, Nintendo always released codenames on its own (GBA Micro - Oxygen, DS - Nitro, Wii - Revolution, and the list goes on), so it's not like they're going to listen to us, nor we're gonna influence them.

So let's not add confusion, and let's just wait for the official codename to get leaked.

Thank you Raulpica, you got there before I did. They do ALWAYS release some sort of codename, and it always seems to entice people more.

It's the same with the theme park, Alton Towers, they always give codenames for their rides, and then deleive stuff in massive 'top secret' boxes just to add more interest.

DS2 is already the defacto codename, people are already using it to describe the project when news is leaked. If you want to wait for nintendo's official code name to get leaked why not vote for: UNP/H Unnamed Nintendo portable/handheld?

Not worth it. With DS2 everyone instantly knows what you're talking about. Using a nickname people will have to google the first time they see it is pointless.

Agreed. Everyone already uses DS2 as the code name, so there's no need to use a new one.

Nintendo + Apple = the iDS

...god forbid.

What about "Afterburner". Since the DS codename was "Nitro".

I really see no point. Its going to cause more confusion that its worth. Firstly, Nintendo already has a codename for the new handheld, we just haven't heard it yet. DS2 is very intuitive, as it implies that it is the future generation after the DS. Call it any other name, and it will not catch on. I guarantee it.
