The DS Evolution.

Here is my cheap Bitmap i whipped up for the next-gen of Nintendo handheld.

The touch screen is the controller, the only buttons are L, R, and the power. It has a 2 GB SD card and has 256 colors. It can play DS Evo, DS, and GBA games. It has video-audio-image capable internet from home screen, and is TXT message capable through celluar service. more to come. how do you like it? Feel free to Photoshop it.

Oh c'mon. It's not that bad of an idea. If the touch screen alowed multi-touch, game developers could program their own "buttons" onto the touchsscreen. The only problem I see is a huge fingerprint problem:

still though...

OWNED

Doubt he meant 256 bit considering 48/64-bit colour displays are an extreme rarity iirc.Genexi2

nono.

The Nintendo Gameboy DS ( i know, dumb name ) will have TWO touch sensitive screens, built in rumble, mic, and camera.

A D-pad and Joystick attachment. Four buttons, start, select, and left and right buttons like the gamecube controller.

And will have a retail price of 12,000 Yen.

:lol:

The touch screen only fails on ds lites

I LIKE BUTTONS. The touch screen on the DS is great and all but it still has buttons. Buttons make the world go round. AzureCuzYeah

I think this discussion kinda ended two years ago?

no. i like real buttons. they're needed. the iTouch needs to make digital buttons that take at least half the screen and dont work that well.

EDIT: agh, fooled by the zombie thread trick again >_>

plz tell me when the new handheld comes out that people won't complain about it not playing GBA games, games at that point 3 GENERATIONS behind

No wonder some people don't believe in evolution because this handheld is an absolute failure of an idea. One can't have a serious handheld gaming console with only shoulder buttons. This handheld is going to win a Darwin Award for extincting the DS line if it comes out looking like this one.

Eh, it would be alright. Nintendo will make something better though.

Well, on one hand this is a zombie thread, on the other hand, the recent announcement of next gen DS possibly having tegra chipset means it`s time to bust out the concepts again! Some of you might remember this lovely little mockup http://gizmodo.com/339601/nintendo-ds-2-the-3d-mock+up-makes-us-drool-alien+style (More can be found here: http://www.4colorrebellion.com/nintendo-ds-mockups/) I wouldn't want it to come out until late 2011 and beyond but that period where the mockups start flowing is always in interesting time. Anybody remember all the Nintendo "Revolution" mockups? We saw everything from buttons that emit heat, to virtual reality.forgot_it

That would actually be pretty cool.
