Hardware \ Is there a DS2 coming out?

benmorgan says:

hi guys just wondering if anyone knows or have heard any rumors about nintendo creating the next generation DS. I tried searching the web but couldnt find any info. I

heard Sony was currently working on the PSP2, so I though maybe ninty may have started work on a new DS.

Somehow I don't think there is going 2 b a DS2. It is possible that NINTENDO will make a 2nd generation DS handheld. They will take their time to release it though.

Nintendo will certainly make a follow-up handheld (it's possible they started as soon as they released the DS Phat, as they started the Wii almost as soon as the Gamecube was out the door), but it's also possible that they may wait a while to see what fresh new gimmick they can use.

I have heard that the DS is not actually the sequel to the GBA, it is in a whole other catagory. Also that nintendo is going to make the next one Game boy ******. Can't remember where I read that tho, ign.com or something.

Nintendo would have definately started making their next handheld by now that could be a whole new thing or an update to the ds like the gba was

I was just reading what Snotball was saying, and I must say that I also have read somewhere that Nintendo is releasing a GBA2, as it is not in the same 'league' as the DS. However, it is possible that the DS SP and DS Micro(?) were the next generation GBA. Just a thought. I have also read in the Nintendo Gamer magazine that apparently Nintendo are re-releasing the DS with two larger screens, (Game Boy DS Heavy, he he he) and it MAY have the internet/web browser pre-installed or standard with the package. Interesting times ahead.

Salsa, that looks really cool. If this is true, I want one already. Did anyone else notice the little analogue stick on the left side.

Looks pretty good. Apart from controls, a faster processor would be good such as on par with the PSP and the game cartridges holding more and hence more memory for more complex games, graphics, sounds etc.

The DS is as powerful as a PS1. Time to upgrade!!

You'd be correct. The DS is not a Gameboy because Nintendo didn't want to tarnish the Gameboy brand in case the DS was not picked up.

In any case, they should stick with six-button control pads. It's horrible running emulators with four.

lol, it didn't sell to well but was still a cool concept. I heard that the guy who made it got fired not long after

I dont think there will be a ds2,
As like all other games they try and make the console slimmer.
For instance GBA to GBA SP,
DS to DS lite

A new nintendo DS with better graphics but compact and dual screen but dual touch screen would be good.
I don't mind paying $400 for this.

I do. Waaaay too much for a Portable. I'm betting dual screens that are closer together, an easier-to-hold shape, maybe some more buttons (a second D-Pad or hideable control sticks?), better Wifi access and more online tools, and built-in tilt control.

Yeah that would be nice and all backward compatible aswell.

..But personally i think the DS lite has heaps of life left in it and at a affordable price it should stay stong for time to come. Why fix it if aint broke.
