But I dunno how reliable their source is. And yes that circle is a camera, hey skype chat anyone??? Just a thought.

Cant they make something that justplays games these days?

...nothing wrong with nice, extra features!

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

2 Touch Screens??? Dammit, I just bought my Red/Black DS and now they release a new one, again.

If they release a game that uses the 2 touch screens, people with the older DS' are screwed. :S

 

[tanooki]

lol, rumors become true fast now these days

It would be funny as hell If Nintendo said no 2 touch screen games and you could just rotate the ds upside for lefties to play.

No they are not, most likely if this 2 touch screen info is real it would probably only relate to the games you buy off of their online system. The DSi still play regular ds games.

On wikipedia it even says 2 touchscreens and two cameras.

Is the camera next to the microphone for Video Chat? (probably with friends only)

 

[lilkerv90210]

After reading that over a couple of times, I think that maybe they mixed up having two cameras with having two touch screens.

Who knows what can happen, especially with the on the spot translations and the cheers certainly going on at the time.

Japanese conferences are serious business...no cheers like Apple conferences.

I read somewhere buried in the kotaku comments that the internal memory is 4Gb. If so, 1, why is Nintendo STILL using bits, and 2, where are they getting all of this 512 MB memory? Who still is mass producing this stuff?

This shit is a waste of money for people who already have a DS Lite

I agree fully. Now if you don't already have a DSL then by all means.
