Nintendo says Rumors of a New DS are Bunk
Wednesday 27 August 2008 @ 11:25 pm | By Quiche 3 Comments
Rumors have been circulating about a redesign or upgrade of the Nintendo DS, some suggesting that both screens would have touch functionality, and others saying there could be widescreen displays in the future. These speculations have arisen due to the DS’ stagnation in Japan, leaving some like analyst Michael Pachter and Enterbrain president Hirokazu to predict such corporate strategies.
Specifically gaming news blog Kotaku has been instrumental in making the rumor popular, saying that some anonymous “industry sources” were clued into those kind of developments within Nintendo. However, Nintendo has said that these speculations are just that, speculation. On the other hand, Kotaku is a very well-connected blog, and while they aren’t always right when it comes to rumors, their crystal ball is one of the most reliable in gaming journalism.

And lets not forget they lied through their teeth before launching the DS lite!
I hope to GOD that they release that sexy piece of hardware. I know its just a mock up, but one can have their wishful thinking, right?
I would so totally pay $200 for this and not get a PSP Slim. Which is getting a newer release, by the way.
