New nitendo handheld soon?

DSi was just released this year, however the DS system has been in the market for 5 years now. Do you think nitendo will update handheld w/ a new handheld that boast better graphics, and new functionality? Sony seems to be sticking w/ the psp, so maybe nitendo will stick w/ DS for a few more years. However what would u want to see in new handheld?

well i would like to see only onebig touch screen but i would also like it ot still have a folding desing.

The DSi just came out.

I'd give Nintendo five more years for something "brand-new".

I sincerely hope not, I JUST bought my DSi last week, I'd be pissed.

Nintendo already reported months ago that they got rid of the project because the DS lite sold so well. There's no new hand held anytime soon.

Fix'd.

Anyway, considering the DSi's salesand the fact that it's much more sustainable than the other models, I can't see the DS going anywhere for a while.

Lol, same thoughts bro.

I guess only two things might affect Nintendo to produce a new handheld.

Nintendo`s rivals produces a new gen handheld with top notch technology and this same handheld start eating a huge share of the market (hard to happen, but not impossible.)

DSi starts exploding everywhere giving the sucesfull brand a bad name (even harder to happen, but not impossible.)

Other than that, expect something new only around 2012-2013.

I just hope theres still a touch screen, I collect styluses XD.

Good thing the world will be ending around then, eh?

I really don't want to have to purchase another system unless it's incredible.

No, they reported they canceled the project a few years before DSi was even out, so the way I wrote it was right.

That is correct. I had watched a vid about the article stating otherwise.What the article does say is that the DSi was released because it couldbetter sustain their momentum. Either way it makes no difference. The new handheld was canned and there won't be a need for a new one any time soon.

Yoweeh

Hmm, I dont think 5 years, maybe 3, possibly sooner than that, technology comes around pretty fast, but at anytime something new could be released, nobody other than the makers of the system can tell for sure

Nintendo claims they have their new handheld ready, but won't announce it because the DSi is doing so well.

Atleast that's what G4 said at E3. I find that hard to believe...

well i certainly hope so, seeing my DSi as more of a GBA SP to the GBA

i'd think fall 2010 would be ok to announce it, coming out in summer 2011.

i'd hope at least a good ARM CPU @ 400Mhz to 600Mhz

32MB to 64MB system RAM, 4MB-16MB VRAM, one big touch screen that runs DS games in BC by spliting the wide 4 inch screen, slide out buttons.

i'd be happy if they annoucned a true nex gen DS today actually, or Game Boy Evolution or whatever

new tech has nothing to do with it really, it will still have touch, maybe not two screens though

nintendo handhelds, esspecially the DS have never simply changed because of tech, they've been pathetic in terms of tech

the DSi and DS are pathetic my mobile device tech standards of 2004

I wouldn't be happy about anything before 2012

Nah, I think Nintendo will be sticking with the DS/DSi longer than they did with any of their other handhelds.

The DSi is outselling Hot Cakes right now, it wouldn't make any sense for us or Iwata for the new one to be released.

I know there is still so much potential left to be tapped in the DS itself, like with Scribblenauts, but a new console with GameCube or better graphics and physics, better online gaming, better multimedia functions, better hardware,

I mean the new Zune HD is launching with Nvidia Tegra, which has been projected to clock in at between 600Mhz and 1Ghz. On a mobile platform the size of the iPod touch. .33 inch thin. thats here in 2009, in 2011 or 2012 it could be so much better (also Tegra is suppose to be such a great CPU for mobile devices that it will give this new Zune 50 plus hours of Audio playback and 10-15 hours of 480x272 Video playback)

Can you imagine what tech advances will happen between now and 2011? And don't forget we'll be lucky if nintendo's hardware is anywhere near the tech of the time.

Once, before their consoles started losing, they would push hardware to the max (N64 and GCN launched both with impressive hardware for the time) Now, not so much. Why would they? its been making them money not pushing hardware.

So in 2012 when we have mobile fones, mobile gaming devices like Walkmans, Ipods, Zunes with 1-2Ghz CPUs, 512MB to 1GB of RAM ( there have been Tablets with those kinda of specs with 5-7 inch screens) we will be lucky if whatever new Nintendo handheld at the time is twice as powerful as the DS itself

Although DSi owners will be hoping not, i'd give it a year or two at most before either Sony or Nintendo announce something new. I expect the new handhelds to come out before the new home consoles are announced.Raiko101

In this day and age, Nintendo could have had a very superior portable system that would have amazing graphics. The fact that they're doing stuff like adding 0.3 megapixels cameras instead of this makes me ashamed sometimes :/

What does that have to do with anything? Nintendo completely explained themselves on the topic of the DSi. That argument is irrelevant. In case you didn't know, the DSi is LITERALLY selling TWICE AS FAST as the DS Lite. Nintendo would be out of their minds if they were to even think about hurting that.freakbabyblues
