[LoneSyn]

So I guess I wont find out if the two touchscreens is true until a 'good' source comes in and says it?

Is that the power switch (red) ?

And does anyone know what are those little umm .. dots (blue). Two mics maybe?

 

[LoneSyn]

I believe both are mics, one for video, other for normal ds features?

Im assuming a flash since that dot is next to both cameras.

Woah woah woah, calm yourself. They haven't said anything about improved hardware other than the audio output. By everything that they've said so far about this being a "3rd pillar" makes it seem like this is going to have pretty much the same innards. I wouldn't fully trust them seeing as the DS was also a "3rd pillar" but so far they haven't shown anything that would indicate that this is a replacement for the DS.

Microphone maybe?

 

[Bitbyte]

Looks gay.

 

[lilkerv90210]

[ojsinnerz.]

NDS + ONBOARD FLASH + WIRELESS FIRMWARE UPDATES

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[falcon64z8]

Omg it Wii Music, can that thing just die!

 

[beedog19]

its the power button

that actually sounds right. looks like the sd slot is where the power button used to be.

To DS lite owners who says this is a waste of money...yes that may be true...

BUT TO THOSE LIKE ME WHO HAVE A DS PHAT!! THIS IS EPIC!

 

[LoneSyn]

I think another piece of big news would be:

HINGE NO LONGER BREAKS!

L + R BUTTONS NO LONGER F***S UP!

 

[Doggy124]

Hm...what the hell would the second touchscreen be for? Stabbing at both screens while playing a game sounds kinda... awkward.

multi-touch would be better than this

I don't believe that this will affect gameplay drastically [unless the two touchscreens turns out to be true]. Its the same Arm9 CPU so the graphics won't get any better unless the game developers do it.

Of course i'm thinking that the camera can probably be used for some cool PS2 eye-toy like mini games, or taking a concept like drawn to life even further.

Which is why I said if you don't own one then this looks good. As a happy DSL owner I say "meh" unless there is a graphics upgrade, then WOOT!

Exactly, hopefully we'll see that when Nintendo gets around to putting out a DS replacement, not that I'm in any rush right now.

Agree. Since the other picture show that the SD slot now using the old power switch location

And if the big circle is a camera, the tiny one should be mic
