DS double touch?

[JPH]

I hope Nintendo doesn't do double touch screens for the new DS...
I want something different.

Touching gets old.

Secondly, the added benefit of two touch screens is negligible. Most games have a screen swap button giving it basically the same functionality as having two touch screens.

I'd have to disagree. Right now there are two types of DS games. Ones that have two unrelated screens and use one for touch (like Phantom Hourglass and New Super Mario) and games without touch where your character can run around both screens (like Sonic Rush and Contra 4). Two touch screens would allow developers to use both screens for full character movement and still use touch. That would open up a lot of possibilities.

But there is no way Nintendo is releasing a new handheld anytime soon. The DS is doing way too well.

I thought this was on about touch screen which is able to detect 'double touch' (like, having 2 points on the touch screen registering input)

This would be a nice feature. Hopefully we'll see it in the next Nintendo portable.
