QUOTE Hirokazu Hamamura, the head of gigantic Japanese gaming mag Famitsu's parent company, made a prediction that Nintendo will unveil the next-generation DS at E3 2008 this summer. Normally we wouldn't think anything of some businessman making predictions, but if anyone knows what's going on with Nintendo, it's Famitsu (the gaming industry and gaming press are really tight over there). Kotaku says it took two years between the transition from DS to DS Lite, so a summer DS Lite to DS EXTREME transition might be possible. Our prediction is that they'll do away with the GBA port altogether, saving space and hardware costs. sauce  will u upgrade ur ndsl to this new ndsX?

1. I don't thing the current DS Lite have any weaknesses that need to improve on by launching a new version of the DS. But I hope that they make the hinges a bit stronger.
2. The DS Lite is still going strong in the worldwide market. And the sales lifespan of handhelds are much longer than home consoles.
3. There are still a lot of big games yet to be released. For example Kingdom Hearts, Professor Layton 3, and of course the expansion version of Pokemon.
4. The announcement of the original DS was made after the unveiling of Sony's PSP. And if Sony does not make its move, I doubt Nintendo will make unnessary changes.

I tak boleh tahan already. I just got my Crimson/Black DS..... It looks like the color of dried blood....... yum! Besides, if the new design removes the Gameboy Advance Slot-2, then I can't play the new Guitar Hero On Tour This post has been edited by blacktrix: Apr 20 2008, 08:53 AM

I think they will release new DS... they should... It would refresh the market... since they still have upgrade space... Like the processor, some game is having lag... and lighter ndsl would be great, the weight of ndsl is quite stiff for a long gaming... Then a Media system with widescreen... XD

In that case, I would get a PSP to keep me busy first before getting the DS!

Tsk,
Firstly, The probabilty of them upgrading the graphic processor is close to nil as by doing that they are shunting the old version of NDS. And from all accounts of what Nintendo have been doing, Graphic is the least of their concern. They might take out slot 2 or readjust the location of the speaker and mike to provide a slimmer top screen. But that is just my 2 cent
As for courting girls with psp or ndsl. Good lord. do u get the device to play game or to "attract" girls? And furthermore, its not the device that attract people. Its the game.
My gf enjoy Loco Roco on PSP and Taiko No Tatsujin on NDSL. She play both console liberally and from time to time. I did question her which one she like and she prefer PSP due to its better graphic and nice design.
Anyway, the thing is this. They might redesign the NDS but when will they launch it. Is another matter altogether.
And if you are planning to get an NDSL now, Just do it. There is no reason to hesitate. NDSL as it is now is superb. And for all you know, the new NDS might not be as nice. Take Game Boy Micro for instance. That one is the latest in GB line but it is anything but great and a lot of people prefer SP over Micro. This MIGHT happen to NDS too.
