the only thing that i could think to improve on it is the XBM and features of the PSP.

I would refine the touch screen so its more sharp to control.

I would also slightly widen the screens.

I would widen the screens, while leaving the DS the same size, by making the speakers vertical and using up all of that extra space. Then, I would make it as slim as possible and make the GBA games not stick out.

I think I micro ds would be awsome. I don't know if you remember that 1 yr old gameboy thing but it was basically the smallest gameboy invented. It looked like a GBA but tinier so I would just like to connect two of them and remove the buttons on the upper ones as well as make the bottem ones touch screen!

  • change the volume control thing , you can't get the right volume! ( it needs a wheel or anything but a slider)
  • remove GBA slot to make it even smaller
  • add a thumb stick to go with the D-pad, it would be optional to use in any game
i dont really care about the above, but it's all i could think of that i wanted to change

I'd say wider screens with higher resolution. Add in media functionality and a web browser. That's about it. Other than that the system is pretty perfect to me.

  • Make the screen more scratch resistance
  • Better Resolution
  • Bigger screen
  • Stronger Hardware
  • Multimedia Features
  • Better looking central interface
  • Involve it more with my life (such as the news channel, forecast channel, a Wi-Fi messaging system and so on)
  • A beverage holder
All things, I wish my DS could do/I wish the DS2 will have.

longer stylus (but i have the perfect one which i recieved from Davenport University)

I had a real cool attachment on my GBA (not the Sp, just a normal GBA) that made it feel and look like a Consol controller..most similar to the gamecude...id like the design to feel like an consol controller.

Bigger and higher resolutions screens would be nice. And maybe a slot for SD, so that we could actually keep our demos on the system (and also potentially open it up to other downloadable services, such as its own versions of the virtual console and wiiware).

brighter screenswywern209

The Lite's screens are already practically blinding at their max setting. How much brighter do you want them? :?

Ooh, I got a good suggestion, let's keep the mic for stuff like voice chat. But let's get nintendo to ban all games that make you blow into it. Seriously, nothing makes me looked dummer than blowing into the DS when I'm in public.

Better speakers (yeah. theses speakers suck), harder touch screen (less scratches), GBA slot deeper (so games doesn't stick out), better internet options and the microphone need to change place (so sounds that comes out of the speakers don't get into the microphone... Maybe a better microphone too?...... Less blowing, more speaking!

the sharpness of the ds is based on the game isnn't it?

It would be nice if the gba slot was refined so that a regular GBA game could sit flush inside the DS lite like it does on a regular DS. I would also consider a new location for storing the stylus because then the bottom half could probably be thinner as well. As far as the touch screen goes, I would hope it's inexpensive enough to make it into a multi-touch capable display, like with the iPhone/iPod touch. Better microphone placement so that I can still see what's going on with both screens even when I am having to blow into it. Enough with the proprietary cartridges and let us use something like standardized SD cards or something. Support SDHC while we're at it and you can have games as big as dual-layer DVD stuff like on the 360 (you can get an 8GB SDHC for as little as $15 now, maybe less). No. More. FRIEND CODES! Augh, I hate that system!

Nothing, really. I like it the way it is, but Nintendo could make the next handheld have better graphics (what they probably will)

Widen the screens and get rid of the "Friend Code" thing and replace it by just being able to enter someone's user name.

Add 2 cameras, take away the GBA slot, add an "i" and raise the price ~$50.
