Hacking ndsl2?

[yzx571]

rumors from YYjoy told Nintendo will be releasing their second update for the DS. It is with a sharper screen(3.8inch upper,3.5inch lower), and aimed to people over 40. This new type will have a better control over other consoles.
believe or not, the same person who told the update to the DSL a month before Nintendo's official news.

Who knows. It may or may be not true.

Hopefully this one will have a decent d-pad.

Hopefully it's fake. I'm broke you know

 

[wohoo]

Hopefully this one will have a decent d-pad.Â

Haven't you get used to the DSL's D-Pad yet? it just took me about 3-4 hours of bomberman and metroid

Or maybe it's my D-Pad that is better?

hm... a gripped stylus with a more precise point would be nice... and multi-touch. while playing EBA if there's a circle in the upper left corner, my pinky finger accidently touches the lower right part of the screen. That's why i never get an S :'(
As for a bigger top screen, i really don't care about the size, but on my DS (the fat one) i see a grid between pixels, if they can make that space a bit smaller and make the acutal pixels bigger to fit the bigger screen that'd make me happy.
I also hope that its as tank-like as the original DS. The Lite looks too easily broken. I had my DS in my backpack, kicked it like 20 feet, and i got a little crack on the clam hinge. I fear if that was a DSL it would have been shattered. THICKER PLASIC PLEASE!
also since its aimed to 40+ the actual handheld should be bigger

good for ppl with big hands like me

Seriously? I hate to say it but after hearing they MAY be rereleasing the Wii, I am getting kind of annoyed with Nintendo. Just as they were getting everything right...

I just bought a DS Lite, its bad enough I'm gonna have to buy an M3 Simply just after I bought an M3 Lite...

@imgod22222 - My DS Lite dropped off my bed today after I feel asleep forgetting it was there, it fell about 5 foot with a bang, I woke up, found it, and the only thing that happened was the DS cartridge popped out a bit. I was so releaved!

Hahaha, wtf?

thats so unfair, i trod on mine the other day and buggered up the bottom screen, i hardly put any weight on it at all

I reckon it's bollocks personally..

Ninty have a tendancy to update their consoles, but not two this fast..

[Dead Ghost]

Whatever, i just something more solid then the DS Lite. It's too damn fragile!

 

[bikingcam]

This thread is awesome. Also, if they do release a new one I'll be upset because my lite won't be the latest and greatest anymore

 

[Whiternoise]

Out of interest.. could you post the link?

 

[7llusion]

Nintendo must be making new versions because of the popularity of the DS(DS sells 2.5x more than psp I think).
But it's still a pity that my flashy black DSLite won't be the newest version

...

P.S.:I left my DSL fall a few times on the floor but luckely it still works!

Thats Nintendo's great quality^^ .

[apofaz]

what I'd like to see is a DS-micro!

 

[monkeymachine]

Yeh, this is pretty big news and if you're like me you would have told everyone to go get a DSL this Christmas season.. meaning that they won't be too happy if the DSL2 is released early 07 =(

 

[Dirtie]

As a comparison, what is the size of the current screens?

 

[AshuraZro]

Two separate 3-inch TFT LCD screens, resolution of 256 x 192 pixels each, with dimensions of 62 x 46 mm and 77 mm diagonal, and a dot pitch of 0.24 mm.

Won't buy another model, Love the lite.
