Rumor: Nintendo May Unveil New DS at E3

I expect this story is true based solely on the fact that I just broke down and bought one a month ago.

I'd love to see a DS 2. The control scheme and dual screens is awesome but the graphics need a bit of an upgrade.

And WPA support.

I would love to have an analog stick. :P

I WANT JET FORCE GEMINI ON DS NAWWWW

-I just reinstalled my N64 and I started with the game again :p

Forget game & sales. Look at Nintendo's North American release track record to see what may happen.

Gameboy - 1989
Gameboy Color - 1998
Gameboy Advance - 2001
Nintendo DS - 2004

Forgetting the nearly 10 year gap between the original B&W and the Color, Nintendo's working a 3 year release cycle. You can't factor in game or handheld sales at all. Nintendo's portables have always been huge at retail. Nintendo tends to count on backward compatibility.

So.... It's been nearly 4 years since the DS was released. I'm betting it's not a simple update. My guess is that it's DS2 or Gameboy2 that'll be debuted.

Keeping with their backward compatibility trend, I'd guess that they probably go for a disc-based format, but have a dual format cartridge slot. It'd suck for those game that need both GB & DS carts at once, but it'd stick with their trend of maintaining their huge back catalog. Plus, it'd allow them to move forward with a new format similar to PSP.

If a new version comes, I bet it includes SD memory support that has the ability to play Virtual Console purchased games.

the new DS will be hated so much that the current DS will be re-introduced as DS Classic.

Given that the system regular tops sales charts

regularly?

Tri-axis accelerometer and single-axis gyroscope, please

Bring back the Gameboy please. Even if it's just the branding.

Bigger screens, more powerful processor, and on board memory please!
