Sounds like a load of garbage to me.
yeah cool nintendo.
is the resolution going to be the same?
And it comes with another $100 price increase!
why did they make it smaller, then bigger again?
cos they needed something to distract everyone with in March 2010 when Natal/PS3 Wand are out.
But silly Nintendo.
Slightly larger screens don’t make the games any better.
Nintendo are quickly becoming the Jay Jays or Supre of video gaming – a new game related item for every season of the year.
DS Lite, DSi, WiiMotionPlus, DSiLL and so on.
Good I wait upgrading, BUY for me!
Slightly larger screen don’t make Nintendo games any better. Not with the resolution and the quality of the games.
It’s their answer to the PSP Go. Useless, slightly crippled and holding up the actual next version of the DS.
It’s ironic isn’t it? Instead of a traditional slimming of their handheld consoles, they’re instead expanding it! I suppose it would be more beneficial for the DS than it would be for the PSP since more precision will be offered from the touch screen.
