I figure the successor to the DS will probably come out sometime in 2009 and I was just wondering what some of you guys would prefer: an entirely new, innovative handheld system (possibly using motion control as was recently suggested), or a machine that takes the basic groundwork laid by the DS (two screens, one touch) and improves it with a better design, better graphics, etc.?

I don't think your second idea would really work, since they've already done it. Right now, it's really hard to tell, the DS is still selling, and 2009 is not too close, not yet. I'll wait a while before I make any estimates :).

i just hope they give us bigger screens man im sick of nintendos handhelds having tiny screens and i just dont see how motion controll would work for a handheld maybe theyll make both screens touch screens next time and i hope they make it with multiple touch technology not just 1 touch function like the current so you could use like 2 fingers for some games like hittimg multiple targest at the same time on a game similer to elite beat agents

IMO I think the screes are fine, before the lighting was a problem, but they fixed that with the Lite.

I think the DS should start doing a little more things like a music player and stuff.

EDIT : They should also change the speakers, because Ouendan! isn't loud enough on my Enamel Navy DS Lite :P.

If nintendo was top make a new handheld console i think the should put motion into it, and keep the touch sreen, to motion would be good for like racing games and, tony hawk games cuz for rac it's like a steering wheele, and for tony hawks you use the move ment to move your character fro side to side and balance on grinds, and it be good for airplane games cuz u use the ds like a "joystick" to tilt the wings to up down side 2 side, and it would be cool to have a double screen touch thing but allways having a bigger screen.

honestly, i don't see the DS being replaced any time soon. ninty has found that they can squeeze quite a bit out of the DS, and it keeps selling.

I've seen all those before. The beat game is interesting, but the others are just... unneccesary.

No motion control, please no motion control. This is fine on a console where you move a controller and the screen is stationary, but it would be annoying if the screen moved too.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Motion sensitive gameplay is fine on the Wii, but it doesn't seem like it would work on a handheld.

Very much doubt we'll see a new DS in 2009. It's outselling everything in the minute. If demand for the console is half as strong as it is now in 2009, we'll probably not see a new handheld until 2012.

I would like the DS to have PSP type gameplay, but without all the unnecessary crap like music playing stuff. Lots of people already have MP3s/ipods, i see no need for more. HOWEVER, i still want the nintendo-ish feel and low price. Basically more of a portable gamecube.

I think improving it would be a better idea. A more sensitive touchscreen and improved wifi would be nice.

i find that a good idea would be to dump he buttons....

and make a DS-like console...with two screens covering the whole thing....

the bottom screen would be touch screen aslo, but using iphone tech, as in smudge free..etc

So for games like mario, you'll be using directional, and 2 to 3 buttons...

but for other games it can have like 6 buttons if needed.... there would be no more restrictions on button config...lol

and the buttons being touch-screened, would make the touch screen be more interesting....now that's awesome!!!!

no, try pressing two things at once on your touch screen, what happens? the cursor goes everywhere. i think an improved-graphics and generally everything DS advance, not to mention dropping friend codes once and for all.

Independently of howgood this games are,it demonstratesa potential. This features can be used in many ways, and the GBA slot is an inexhaustible font.

I hope the Nintendo DS, has more than a four year life span! I hope, if Nintendo were to come out with a new hand-held in the next few years, it would be a continuation of the gameboy franchise.

not really cuz who knos wat can happen in a year.. plus wat about the ppl who already owned a DS for a couple years already... plus by 2009 the ds would have been out for wat? 4 or 5 years?? think about it. plus i think theyll make a PSP2 somewhere around 2008-09 so think about that

the next ds shoud have all that stuff built in. it should also be a multimedia device like the psp. the graphics should also be as good as the psp or better.
