So e3 is gonna kick-off soon and Jacob (TheSource) said he expects a new DS model to be reveiled there. Here are my two cents about that subject:

 

- I talked to some sources and at least one of them is fairly certain Nintendo will, in fact, reveal a new DS model at e3. No DS2, though - something along the lines of a "DS Micro" (meaning a third model of the same handhled, just like what Nintendo did with the GBA). I´m not 100% sure he´s right but he gave me some very accurate predictions in the past.

- It looks like Jacob talked to his own sources (although I didn´t ask him yet) for his predictions, which makes the rumour even more valid.

- One of my sources predicted a "Mii-like avatar system and a motion sensing controller" for the Xbox 360 - the avatars (apparently) came true already. This source also said it is "highly likely" that Nintendo will reveal either a new DS or Wii model at e3.

- Apparently Famitsu will reveal 4 new DS RPGs which are highly likely to be released late 2008 in Japan. Square Enix develops Chrono Trigger for the Dual Screen and Dragon Quest IX is also set to see a late 2008 release. Additionally, Nintendo didn´t announce any major DS games in months. If (!) Nintendo is to show a new DS model at e3 and announces a late 2008 release date this would pretty much fall in line with the releases of several major DS titles. (Remember: If Nintendo develops a new DS model, Square Enix is most likely the first company to be told because of their major Dragon Quest title)

Remember, though, this is not official and won´t necessarily come true. It´s just what some of my sources told me.

 

You didn't even make a mock-up of a new DS? Lame.
