your dream nex gen DS

next gen DS :

game cube graphics

bigger screen

super smash bros ds (:D )

hmm.. that's all i can think of now.

Well Nintendo has already confirmed that they can get Gamecube graphics into a hand held now, however knowing how far ahead Nintendo has their handhelds planned we might not see that in the next DS. With that in mind my dream DS would be for the next generation of hand held gaming:

Dual touch screens

2 analog sticks as well as the D-Pad

Gamecube graphics

Support SD cards

Give the DS access to the Wii Store (VC games on the go please)

Also let it support Digital Distribution for games

Interntal memory of at least 30 gigs for VC games and Digital Distribution of software

Support user created content for games as well as user created games (DSWare anyone?)

NO MULTIMEDIA FUNCTIONS! (We all already have cell phones with cameras, MP3 players, and everything like that, don't waste time and money with it)

The DS Store should include VC games as well GBA and DS games

Connectivity to the next generation console

Better wifi and better online play

Comes with a headset and gets rid of the friends code, give me something like a Gamertag, it isn't hard Nintendo

That's really all I can think of at present time, but at least I think its a step in the right direction. I truly want a console on the go but I also want Nintendo to keep its line up of games that you can play in short bursts, however not every game should be like that.

Lets see...

A flip DS with 1 widetouch screen,built sturdy like a tank, internet, games with GCN graphics, gamertag style friendcodes (1 per DS, not per game), D-pad, face buttons, 2 analogs, home button, +&- buttons, shoulderbuttons, stylus, texting within any connection or network like MSN, movies and music.

Give me that, and I will die happy. With a 500$ IOU in my pocket.

I can think of a lot of next gen stuff. My ideas for the new DS would be: PS2 graphics, bigger screen, analog stcik, both screens are now touch screens, and able to play DS games and gameboy games.GamerTron0

GCN graphics(of course)

dual analog stubs(gripped and flat)

Dual 3.5in multitouch screens

redesigned game cards

sdhc slot

640x480 screen resolution

full multimedia support

web browser and dl store

games with DLC

3g networking for a small fee

improved wifi

glass screens

launches in black, white, crimson/black, cobalt/black, pink, and silver with options for glossy or matte.

Basically a PSP with one single multi touch screen, no need for HD, but better resolution and GC graphics or similar. Internet connectivity and on line (no more friend condes, pls). Dual analog sticks (I'd like to be actually able to play metroid this time) and games should probably come in SD cards...

I don't expect this to be 150$ of course, but I think 250 should be possible.

You guys really think low. Holographic screens. (PWN)meiaman

While we're at it, why not throw in the mind control function?! (Major PWN).

But thinking realistically, I could see this on the next DS:

• Graphics about the strength of the Gamecube.
• More durable, fingerprint-less touchscreen(s).
• Long battery life.
• One Friend Code for the DS only.
• Backwards compatibility for all previous handheld systems, including the old Gameboy systems with multiplayer support of some kind. Maybe all wireless? Maybe somehow trick the game into utilizing the DS's wireless capabilities.
• DS Shop Channel.
• Being able to transfer VC games to internal memory, which would be a decent size. Nothing insanely expansive nor expensive.
• Optional Multimedia applications. Thus, you won't charged more for something you may not use.

This is all I have for now. There are so many possibilities for the next DS.

wow, that's one beast of a handheld ;)

first of all think about dual touch screen if the design is the same as it is now the dual touch screen would be a huge pain on the top screen. For you to put enough pressure to actually make the top screen react the screen would pop down or if you made the top screen stiff it would still be a pain to hold (if you think I am wrong just try it) omishboy4831

next gen DS :

game cube graphics

bigger screen

super smash bros ds (:D )

hmm.. that's all i can think of now.

Well, first, it'd have to have higher resolution. And i'd like it to have gamecube graphics 'cause we're at about that stage in technology. 1 touch screen, NOT 2! that would just be annoying, trust me...

umm, better version of pictochat i.e. different colours, wi-fi... intenet browser, camera and MP3 ('cause i might as well) bigger memory unit, Bigger screens, smudge IMMUNE coating (i don't know how... :S) and a little bit bigger than the DS lite so that there would be slightly more space to fit everything in...

mine would have to be with an 8 mp cam. and a scratch proof screen!

This with graphics as you see.

8MP camera

Wii like menu

Vc capablities

Mii's

Sdcard support

Multimedia functions

Accelorometer

Internet browser with flash 10.0 support and java

better screen

only one friend code and if nintendo would be nice throw away friend codes and add gemertag thing

With the bevelled edge, it looks like it'd be really hard to hold and play. I would think your fingers wouldn't rest comfortably on the shoulder buttons.

I am in agreement with most people here:

Bigger screen and resolution

SD card for saving ALL games

Better battery life (even though I am happy with the battery life now) :)

Revamping the friend codes (what a pain in the rear!)

That's it!! :D
