next DS put on hold

You read that correctly. Nintendo is so happy with the DSi's ability to print money that they are putting the development of the next gen Gameboy on hold. Nintendo was making the new Gameboy to go head to head with the PSP, but since the DSi is utterly obliterating it there is simply no need for them to bring out the much more expensive, technologically advanced, single screen, motion sensing handheld… At this time.

This may all change if Sony's PSP makes a comeback, but with such poor third party support that may never be the case.

Btw I promised not to give out too many leaks on the new Gameboy in order to get this story, but if you look carefully at the first paragraph you will get some interesting bits and pieces.

I dont know how credible this man/woman is becuase we all know just how tight lipped ninteno is, but if the are working on a new ds lets hope we get it soon and it has 2 touch screen.

Just thought i would share this if know one else has

Thats interesting. I also like the idea of holding it back. Gives them more time to put more stuff on it and make it better.

Of course, if we are alive until that date... the mayans says that the world will ends in 2012. :P

I can't wait for the next console!!!

Hopefully this new handheld will have backwards compatibility with all DS and GBA games. But I don't see how it will with only one screen.

I was thinking they'd go back to a single-screen handheld. I wonder what they'll call it....KillerTofu89

I seriously hope it doesn't come for a while. The Nintendo DS was my favorite console/handheld I've ever had (And most time I've used it for). I think I've just about have had ever console ever, too.

knowing nintendo, I'm sure they will come out with a new and even more improved one, for example, more durable screens

Gameboy Macro?

I hate to be a hater, but any gameboy with only one screen would seem like a step backward. Of course, if it has any kind of thumb stick or the like I would change my mind.

I hate it when people say that, the Mayans did NOT say the world was going to end in 2012, dumb people thought that a calender resetting itself was the same as a calender ending, so they thought that the world was going to end, which it isn't. Then they spread the dumb to everyone else. Besides I bet you $100 that the world is NOT going to end in 2012.:P

i dont get it.. so the next DS is the new gameboy advance? that's kinda odd..

i guess Nintendo's always been a little odd.

I've been relatively impressed with the DS as of this point. Not so fond of DSi but if you don't already own a DS, its a good one to get. I completely understand Nintendo's jet lag when it comes to technological improvements because they are usually innovative enough to push their consoles without making a new one.

When its necessary, when its ready, and when its amazing, Nintendo will make another system. As of now, that point has not approached.

I don't trust rumors, and I don't trust speculation. Nintendo will tell us when its next systems are coming out, and I'll believe them.

i guess Nintendo's always been a little odd.

A little odd you say?This is how they test the learning curve of their games.

I think we should just use what we have now, instead of wasting time guessing and speculating, we should be beating bowser on world 4-stage 9
