RUMOR: Nintendo DS 2 Latest Feature

TGH Writes:

"The speculation has been sky high ever since Nintendo unofficially announced they were already hard at work at creating the new DS 2. Some of the rumors saying that it might even be revealed at the next E3 this year. Which yours truly will be attending to give you the latest gaming scoop, yet the rumor that Nintendo is showing off their latest handheld at E3 is old news. The newest and strongest rumor is that the new DS will feature a rumble feature. This rumor came up right after Nintendo's legal team filed a patent for a rumble accessory to be added to their new DS. The patent also states that there will be an, "LCD with a touch pad.""

Maybe it would the nice if Nintendo drops the dual screen gimmick, and instead offer a more mature design similar to the psp.

One widescreen that is also a touchpad should allow a much better looking design.

[Noctis Aftermath]

If they dropped the Dual screen then it will probably be identical to the PSP2 but without as much graphical prowess.

[dredgewalker]

If they dropped the dual screen then it wouldnt be called a DS. Its a trademark of their handheld and dropping it would alienate a lot of supporters.

[kingpunch]

it would be kinda cool if they called it the super ds

[mcgrawgamer]

that would be cool reminiscent of nes and snes, but ur dad wouldn't let you play it cuz it would interfere with your homework. Now get off this site before I call mr huxtable and tell him what your doing theo. Oh yeah tell Rudy I wanna mix my pop with her jello pudding.

she know what I'm talking bout.....

Battery life

Sure you can probably toggle it on off but then you still have the hardware in there and how much space is that going to add to the handheld?

Personally I like the DS as it is even though I don't use it too often. It's just needs to get updated graphics.

So is this going to be a legitimate successor this time to the ds, or another cash in redesign with little or no improvements, that the mindless sheep's of alot of ds owners will trade in a functional ds for the newest redesign of basically the exact same handheld.

At least nintendo excells at suckering alot of ds owners, to buy any and every redesign of the ds for the simplest reasons.

[Hisiru]

Errm... Sony also has 4 revisions for the PSP, it's not "cash-in" it's just the way to make your handheld survive for a little longer. The PSP revisions are even more simple.

Why are you guys trying to make the Ds2 looking like a iPad that's not right.

[bartkuz]

I hope 8 console gen will start at E3. It's time

[kesvalk]

i hope for a graphic overhaul between GC and Wii, it would be perfect, just thinking in the FF6 remake that square will undoubtely make to it , sends shivers of happines on my body, and perhaps a new KH? man i would shriek like a little girl if they make it...

and of course, a new metroid... ah this would be heaven...

[Ashira]

A new DS so soon after the revealed their DSi? That seems ... unlikely.
