New DS confirmed

[beedog19]

is this a record number of people..on a topic...?

No...Super Smash Bros Brawl had like a thousand.

Beat me to it. I feel like this place was a madhouse around the time Brawl hit. I steered clear for a while.

@RR: Only a single touchscreen? So its confirmed that its not dual screen?

Not confirmed highly unlikely. Look a couple of pages back i posted some reasons why.

alot of people already confirmed it. Ign, gamekyo, gonintendo.

In that case, then I have nothing to worry about except for larger screens.

Did the battery power even extend

Hold on I might have to eat my word. Just hold on for tomorrow to be sure at the NOA conference. People are confirming but people are still unsure.

Evil conferences...

We'll probably have to wait a couple days to get the full picture on things like that. There should be a full press release in the morning/whenever NOA makes their announcement (because you know it's coming).

Nintendo of Japan already have the specs and features on there site now. I'm very intrigued by this...I personally would like the GBA slot to be on it but we must go forward I guess.//

I hope they made the brightness levels a physical button and not some crappy menu crap.

Maybe that is what the button on the system is. Because why go from a switch on like every system to a button you might press off when you are playing. That would truely suck. Unless you have to hold it down for x ammount of seconds but still would suck.

The first, original DS had that. And a lot of times my progress just lost because of the power button...

And with the DS Lite, my dream has come true. Like with the GBA SP.

I'm still skeptical, Gonintendo and 1up haven't really confirmed, they just point out that what IGN is reporting. and gamekyo's post reeks of poor translation and engrish [not trying to start a flame war or put you down, jsut commenting on the sketchiness of online sources and reliability when this was jsut annouce]

It'll all be answered when Nintendo does its North American Conference, be patient

this thing is pretty gay if you already have a DS lite. it all seems so gimmicky.im honestly very surprised they are adding an SD slot and releasing this now when the DS lite is selling well. The SD slot could backfire on them and open the floodgates to piracy but im guessing if it is hacked it will be a back and forth fight like with the PSP and the constant firmware updates.
I just think they see huge potential in making money off nintendo points. I think the wii showed them just how much people are willing to pay for classics or new downloadable games. so basically if it gets hacked, who cares!?, they'll make a killing on downloaded content.
knowing nintendo this thing will be hacked and we'll all be playing .nds from the SD slot by 09. although personallyi hope the SD slot never gets hacked, but i hope our EDGE's and R4's work.

I guess that could be and they could have just put the switch on the other side. That being said, I still think that's a power button.

Damn site doesnt work for me

It would be cool if this was like the wii menu and I'm going to buy this I bet people are just going to make CFW for this like on the PSP

Seriously, would it have killed Nintendo to do a proper DS upgrade instead of dragging out the DS hardware another 2+ years? The DS's 3D abilities were underpowered at launch, and it's only gotten worse over time. The hardware has nudged developers in to producing RPGs, minigame collections, shovelware, and very little else, because the DS can do very little else. It needs a hardware upgrade to enable new games and bring more variety to the field.

Adding more gimmicks isn't going to encourage new games, it's just going to encourage more crap.

The bigger screen and SD slot are nice, but it's half the handheld it needs to be.

Nothing about 2 touch screens on Nintendo's site, so I guess there's only one.
But there are 2 cameras, one outside and one inside.
Apparently Wifi will be improved, does that mean WPA will be supported ? If not it would be stupid from Nintendo.

Also the audio player only plays AAC ? That's a surprising choice...
