Christmas 2011
Two balanced microprocessors, with graphics about on par with the Xbox/Gamecube, though perhaps a bit less
One large, vertical touchscreen that can rotate into a "horizontal mode" similar to the PSP's screen
Full DS backwards compatibility in "vertical mode"
1 GB built-in flash memory for storing demos, Virtual Console and WiiWare-equivalent games
It'll implement many of the features found in the Wii, including a built-in web browser, weather channel, and a way to transfer your Miis
It'll likely be called the "Nintendo 3S," after the three ways that you can play it (vertical, horizontal, and DS emulation mode).
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
