Could be good for media purposes but very bad for batteries life

It doesn´t make sense, it will broke the compatibilty or it will force the devs to use some sort of compatibily mode, and probably the DS will need a more powerfull ARM...



By me:

Made with Blender + LuxRender

what the hell is with all the people going "bad for batteries?"

come on folks, slash GBA support and use the extra space to throw in a bigger stylus and a larger battery and you're set.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Uhhh I think you guys who are spurting "Bigger screen = lower life" are forgetting something...

Bigger screen = more internal space = bigger battery = same/more life



By life end:

  • Wii- 100 million+
  • Xbox360- 35~40 million
  • PS3- 30 million
  • PSP- 30~32 million ------------- FAILURE
  • NDS- 85~90 million (Skeptical)  - FAILURE
  • NDS- 100 million+ (Optimistic) -- Success!

You're forgetting that some of the DS games will allow you to transfer data from your GBA games (FFTA -> FFTA2; Pokemon R/S/E/FR/LG/ -> Pokemon D/Pe/Pl; Golden Sun: The Lost Age -> Golden Sun 3 etc.), right?

Not to mention all the DS games that require the GBA slot (*cough*RecentlyReleasedGHIV*cough*).

That slot ain't going nowhere till the DS2

Bigger screen = less batteries life , very bad for me.

While that may be true, there were rumours a while back stating that a new DS redesign wouldn't have a GBA port. If thats correct then that gives nintendo more room to put in a bigger battery, thus negative the larger power consumption of the bigger screen. To be honest I've been waiting for something like this for a while as 4:3 is butt ugly.

 

EDIT BTW its clearly not an official pic as the screen aren't aligned correctly lol. I'd still love a DS with a widescreen though. It'd make me buy more games for it.

It's a fake!

That may be true. But a widescreen would be awesome :P
