CrunchGear

I bought the original huge clam-shell the first time, and I bought the DS Lite earlier this year. Both were (are, as I still have the Lite) great, and having larger screens can only make them better - ask anyone who’s played Mario Kart DS without blinking for entire laps. D: I agree with the timing, though - since finding a Wii is a tall order, some people are settling for what (in the future) can be used in tandem with the Wii/a handheld with games that are well, fun.

Why don’t they just put two 17 inch screens together in a clamshell design with an enamel case and call it a day. You know this will eventually have to happen as each edition has larger and brighter screens.

The DS definetly needed bigger screens. 3.5 inches is like the size of some of the old school cell phones. I think you can only reduce the screen size to a certain level before it becomes annoyingly small. I think this bigger DS will be ideal to play games and still be portable.

Do you guys even remember how huge the GameGear was?!

Yes the game gear was F-in Huge …and sucky battery …..We should look back on those systems imperfections ..and stop complaining about little things wrong with ours now.

Oh man the batteries for the gamegear must have cost me more than the system in the long run.

I’ve been holding out for a DS, this might be the time to pick one up.

I just picked up a DS Lite yesterday (haven’t opened it - saving it for christmas), but even if they come out with a new one on Jan 1st I won’t be dissapointed. I bought exactly what I wanted, and if a better one comes out later, all the power to Nintendo. I’ll stick with what I’ve got :)

Agree or Disagree. Nintendo needs to improve the DS lite by;
Adding regular gameboy slot + gba
Also using the x and y buttons as a secondary gba shoulder buttons
Gets some texture filtering to end the choppy grapphics
custom control settings for the ds gba, and maby usage of the touch screen for a secondary D pad
and presto the perfect ds

Oh, and more pixels

I’m with Canadian on this one. If I get a ds this year (fingers crossed) .3 inches is nothing to get excited about [insert "that's what she said" joke here]. Besides, for me, the true fun of a ds will be using it for everything else: nes, snes, mp3, clips, porn pics, surfing…

Oh, and play some ds games too, yeah, that’ll be sweet.

sorry, should say “.5″

it doesn’t matter, i bought a warranty on mine for two years; they come up with something better i just “drop” it then pay the difference.

I think the new ds is a good idea, because the psp screen is bigger, the ds is way better than the psp but the screen is smaller, but now there is nothiong better on the psp, so good move nintendo.
