Report: New DS arriving this year

Yeah, just copy Sony...Whats next? Memory Sticks?

GBA had 3 editions, so will this...

I think it's a waste of time just giving us an update for the DS although fair play to them if it's gonna get them their money. It's getting to that time where I'd rather see Nintendo's new handheld console but at the next level really. When it is shown I have feeling the new one will have a tilt function in it as well as most, if not all of its current features on the DS. Hopefully we'll see that soon.

Well, I should say they must call it "WiiS". and there must be a feature which let the player able to connect it to the Wii and then to the TV by using a WiiWare "play your DS and WiiS games on the go or your TV screen". isn't that a genius idea?

"The DS has had 2 versions, as has the PS2." Not for long. Thing is, we're getting 3 revisions over the span of like what, almost 4 years. Of course Nintendo fanatics won't think twice about blowing off their savings on new revisions cuz hey, its Nintendo.

"ya the ps2 didn't need 3 versions, but my ps2 stopped working, and i had to buy a replacement. i'm sure im not the only one that this happened to. ive bought 2 ds' and 2 ps2, also the xbox broke after i hit it only once, so that makes 2 xboxes" Well I'm pretty certain there are people who've lost their DS's while taking them out in public as well before having to replace them. May not be quite the same as replacing a broken PS2 but you're still replacing a unit.

Well I think that Nintendo should release a new DS very soon as the DS has been around now for quite some time. But for this paper to say a new version will be released this year seems very unlikely as I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't be foolish enough to release a new handheld without a strong marketing campaign

"The Nikkei newspaper wrote a recent story about a DS solely based upon their own research and speculation, without interviewing Nintendo," said the game company. "While Nintendo is always working on new hardware, we have not made any announcement about a DS and we cannot comment on the Nikkei story." that basically means that everything is indeed true but we are not allowed to tell you its true

NINTENDO HAS CONFIRMED EVERYTHING I'll stick with my sexy ass red and black, thank you. It does things. Many things.

hmm looks interesting..

It's laughable how many people don't read the whole article. Nintendo has confirmed nothing and yet nearly every comment here goes on as if they have. If it were to be released by the end of the year, there'd be 3 more months left. Seeing as Nintendo hasn't announced anything, that's very unlikely considering how long it usually takes to release something after announcing it.

While the PSP is heading toward revision number 3.

ya the ps2 didn't need 3 versions, but my ps2 stopped working, and i had to buy a replacement. i'm sure im not the only one that this happened to. ive bought 2 ds' and 2 ps2, also the xbox broke after i hit it only once, so that makes 2 xboxes

What about a bigger screen and higher resolution?

The last 2 DS models hit the US before Japan. I wonder how this release will compare once a date is confirmed...

I reckon It isn't quite time to release a new DS. People are really getting into them now. If it has better graphics, sound, and most importantly games; I will be happy to buy it.

I don't need, nor want music. I have an iPhone. However, I wouldn't mind a sexy new DS... Hmm.....

aaaa great nintendo now you want to get real in this console war? so sad... i wont buy this crap i have my ds lite and im happy... i think nintendo will lost alot of money in this crap anybody want this xD

its been out 4

I think it would be cool for them to add a music playback feature.

its only been out for 3 yrs.. handhelds last 5 ???

I think it's time for a brand new DS, not another redesign. I like my DS, really I do, but it's about that time for something new Ninty.

So...I have 2 choices...PSP-3000 which has the Skype feature which allows ViOP calls or the new DS which has the camera feature, which one should I get...anyone?? I also just got my DS Lite a month ago, man, this sucks, can't they release the news earlier??

they are still outselling the psp 2 to 1, believe me they dont need one. even the psp redesign still isnt gonna hold up... too bad sony...

It's too much to get another new DS I think. My Lite is still working fine and I just bought a new one and gave my old one to mum - she got hooked on Brain Training - so I will be quite disappointed if they get another new one out. And anyway why do I need a camera and music play back for my DS?

omg id be soo angry! They need to focus on games rather then copying everyone else with the multimedia functions

I really hope this is not true. Camera, music play back? Cmon Nintendo don't follow a portable device that your competing against. I just got a DS Lite and that is the only DS I am ever going to have.

I won't be getting this.

...........this will be the third ds, they are going overboard now.

Jesus christ, I just got the DS Lite. Upgrades like a camera and music playback sound promising for further upgrades.. hopefully i won't be able to find everything this DS has on my phone.

uh well i dont need music nor camera

IF it has more meomory'biger screen and a much powerful graphics than the PSP, then it would defenetly be an improment. I don't wanna see a new DS with better lightning and relocated the butons of the System, and then that end up been the improvement that they do. THat's stupid NINTENDO

lostn- thats what i thought at first but... remember metroid dread? they had a similar statement... with more proof than a random magazine... yet the game (apparently)never existed or was cancelled

A biger screen extrat memory and i would think that it is a must that this new DS must be more powerful than the PSP in the graphics deparment as well.

This redesign seems awesome. And $188 doesn't seem too bad. I'm pretty sure Nintendo is trying to copy Sony's PSP though....

Sounds pretty cool but I don't think I'll get it.

Make it be able to play VC games and add Gameboy VC games and then I would think about getting one.

maybe ill finally trade in my "old" original DS. The DS lite never had anything that was like "wow i need that." but a camera, music playback, better wifi, thats something almost anyone can get excited about. hope its true!

what is this? Their third redesign? Cmon Nintendo give us a NEW console...

That would be pretty slick. People would quickly forget about the PSP then. But now that Sony's caught wind of this, they're probaly already planning to counter it.

The DS Lite is good enough.

Meh, forget this. I never liked Nintendo because of multimedia purposes.

I lost mine several months ago and just recently bought a new one. If this is true, I'll trade mine in if/when it hits if the proported new DS can access VPN networks. If not, i'll keep the old.

Though it's probably not true, this would totally sick and I would totally buy, like a camera? Music playback? HOPEFULLY AN INTERNET BROWSER better wi-fi? Can't wait

"The Nikkei newspaper wrote a recent story about a DS solely based upon their own research and speculation, without interviewing Nintendo," said the game company. "While Nintendo is always working on new hardware, we have not made any announcement about a DS and we cannot comment on the Nikkei story." In other words, it's official. When you read enough press releases, the lingo becomes second nature. This is their way of saying "you weren't supposed to find out this soon.. we're going to fire whoever leaked it out."

I'll be happy if it just had better online,music and the camera no need for movies The PSP can keep that I want it to lean more towards a gaming device. A bigger screen and better graphics would keep it moving!

cool

The DS already has the games all it needs is multimedia *but maybe not movies* and it would be awesome! I would love to use it as a camera and listen to music on it but they should leave the movie part for the PSP.

Great. Nintendos taking SOnys attempt * rolls eyes* useless features which usually get filled up by an ipod. I get a system to play games on it, not to take pictures.
