Forums - Nintendo - New DS model at e3? (and other e3 info)

Well, I fully expect Nintendo to announce a new DS model this year. Been saying that for months. E3 would indeed make the most sense. They need a new one.

looks horribe to me

 

Is that what its really supposed to look like?



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

 

IF they are then damn, i imported an ice blue DS a week ago (still hasnt gotten here yet)



New DS: I doubt it. There really isn't much to do with it at this point other than solving the hinge durability issues, and Nintendo won't release a visibly different model for that reason alone. They'll want to add something else, and there really isn't all that much that's feasible to add at this point.

36Tii: Relatively likely, but it will fail. Developers will ignore it, players will reject it, and its makers will miss the point entirely.

DS RPGs: Probably. Two of the games listed here are already known to be coming, so the prediction really only predicts two other RPGs. The odds of this, while not certain, are fairly high.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

That won't be too hard since several companies aren't even attending.

I would welcome a redesign of the DS, but I certainly don't want it any smaller than it already is. It's already difficult enough to handle for larger hands. I ask for only a few things from the new DS:

1. An SD card slot.
2. A media player.
3. A classic system emulator with support for downloaded VC titles off the Wii.
4. An embedded PIM application. No reason it shouldn't have capabilities on par with 10-year old Palm Pilots.

 

 Yeah I like those ideas. Nintendo has said it wanted to help smaller companies... well  a DS that could download games would go a long way.

ALSO since the DS has been use in Museum in Japan, in the Mariner's Ball Diamond in America (to do replays and order  food) and to teach English in schools; having memory and  more capabilities would be very helpful toward making DS more a way of life than a game system.

Sure there is. It's a GAME system. You know, for playing GAMES. There is no need for this kind of bloat.

I most certainly hope so, because if it is then Nintendo has failed.  So many flaws in that design its ridiculous.
