The most obvious examples would be that Nintendo could increase the output resolution, increase Antialiasing and Anisotropic filtering, and add filtering (upscaling) of textures; most of these things can be done in emulators without breaking compatibility. About all this would do is make the same games look crisper and cleaner on a HD Television and would not give it the ability to produce graphics like the XBox 360/PS3. |
Agree. Besides that, I can see Ethernet (already mentioned, pretty much useless to me), bigger SD cards support (maybe a firmware would do), DVD support (maybe a firmware would do), Gamecube software in Wii-mode (firmware would do, don't think it'll ever come though). A lighter and cooler version, as well as new colors, is pretty much a given.
As to those saying we won't see any updates, the DS suffered a major upgrade, to the point that if I had an old one I'd definitely buy a new one and not feel cheated. Almost every thing about it was improved. The important thing is to keep the old console fully compatible for games, which is what matters.
Reality has a Nintendo bias.
