- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -2/+46OMFG! I just bought mine this week, figures!
- ri0026, on 11/15/2007, -0/+43no no no, this is real. my buddy at nintendo says they're coming out with a T.S., with a third screen that touches YOU
- Shorties, on 11/15/2007, -0/+31OMG I bought mine earlier today... ok... no, not really just wanted to feel a part of something... I'm so lonely.
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -3/+30Im gonna go out on a limb here and say no, this is misinformation.
- Edrick, on 11/15/2007, -2/+27You wouldn't have to buy it to play the latest DS games. It would be entirely optional.
How is improving a product ever a bad thing? - badassninja, on 11/15/2007, -1/+25#1, yes they could make is thinner if they did that, use your brain awesomeo.
#2 Yes, they can make a new firmware, it wouldn't be that hard, life would go on. - Megatog615, on 11/16/2007, -0/+23Only available in Soviet Russia.
- Zarxrax, on 11/16/2007, -0/+17This is crap. Nintendo can not make the screens larger. The games graphics are output at a fixed resolution. If you change that, then the output must be scaled, which would look like crap. Removing the gba slot would also be a bad move because a lot of ds games utilize this slot for various addons. Rumble pak, memory expansion, and theres a number of weird things out in japan that go in the gba slot. Not to mention all of the games like pokemon which can interact with a gba cartridge.
You don't do things like this unless you come out with an entirely new platform. - FuzzyBunny, on 11/15/2007, -1/+17Logic has no place here on the Internets. Nintendo is obviously an evil corporation out to screw all of its customers by making their products better and cheaper. Begone, and take your foul logic and reason with you!
- smthop3, on 11/15/2007, -0/+16To play GBA games?
- The0, on 11/15/2007, -2/+17Wow. That is a long-ass sentence. Periods are your friend, as are commas.
- AwesomeMonster, on 11/15/2007, -2/+16Because no other handheld gaming company is doing the exact same thing right now... Oh wait, yes, yes they are.
- badassninja, on 11/15/2007, -3/+16What's a PS3?
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -2/+13This is like a rumor of a rumor and is about half as thought out.
- cambrown99, on 11/15/2007, -0/+11It's going to be hard to improve upon DS lite's perfection.
- ClockworksNine, on 11/15/2007, -1/+12*****! I did too! Aside from the bigger screen, the removal of the GBA slot is a foolish idea. No backwards compatibility = no dice.
- doshindude, on 11/15/2007, -4/+15You obviously haven't heard of the PS3's new SKUs coming out every 2 months....
- zwaldowski, on 11/15/2007, -0/+8The pic is of a black DS Lite.
- gamersedge, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10The removal of the GBA slot from this new model seems unlikely, due to the DS web browser needing this for extra memory, unless the memory was integrated, although backward compatibility is something nintendo really touts.
- atomicpoet, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10I already have a Game Boy Micro -- which really has the best display for GBA games possible (although the sound is lacking) and thus I don't feel the need to have a DS be backwards compatible. I like my DS Lite, but I always feel it's a lot more frail than my Game Boy Micro.
Design-wise, I believe the Micro is the most elegant design, although I think it was doomed for failure when Nintendo decided to also upgrade the display for the SP. It's as compact as a cell phone, has great battery life, and has a finer dot pitch than anything on the market right now. The only drawback is the actual size of GBA games.
If Nintendo can ever make something that rivals the Micro for sheer mobility, I'll buy it. I wonder if it is possible on the DS, though. The size of the games are great, but the dual screens make such an enterprise questionable. - AmonAmarth, on 11/15/2007, -2/+10I think i'll keep my regular DS Lite, it's the perfect handheld for me. Personally I'd prefer to keep the GBA slot as some GBA games are famazing (Tactics Ogre!). The oirignal DS cramped up my hands and ***** when I played it (large hands FTL, in this case) but the Lite feels perfect. No more models!
- schoate09, on 11/15/2007, -1/+8WALL OF TEXT!
- bluetytanium, on 11/16/2007, -0/+7I'm beginning to believe that i'm the only person in the world who still likes the classic DS.
- Murdats, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6to use the DS browser (adds memory) to use rumble (used in some games) to be able to play roms (usually uses the gba slot) or any other expansion
- Disfnord, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7How hard is it to type two extra letters? Y-O-U
- Megatog615, on 11/16/2007, -0/+6Homebrew != Piracy.
Jeez... - afx1, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Does this finally support WPA?
- Corrosionx, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5Curse you stupidly positionned Power button!!!
Screen brightness owns the classic DS too. - DoodleMaster, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5wtf are you talking about there are three exclamation marks, and a period. its not one sentence its 3 and one incomplete. I I can't believe I was dugg down to 16 because of that. The only thing I missed where two commas to separate a list and I meant to say nintendo would not fix. I swear you people drive me crazy.
- RxDaniel, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5It is 3x as hard as typing one letter.
- Renton, on 11/15/2007, -2/+7I bet this is his "contact"
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=65377 - SkippyDoorknob, on 11/15/2007, -1/+6This new design, assuming it actually exists, won't be out any time soon.
- zeejay, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4With the number of older adults buying (and loving) the DS, they should make an upscale "deluxe" model with much larger screens. Even if expensive, they'd sell a lot of em.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -1/+5This has already been denied by Nintendo. http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=22815
- billybob217, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5Don't forget semicolons! Those are also important!
- forgiste, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4me too! like yesterday!
- Kurisuku, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4It'll be out within a year. This is Nintendo we're talking about.
- RxDaniel, on 11/16/2007, -0/+3Don't buy anything involving technology within the first year. Chances are 1) There is some problem with the parts they used. 2) There will be a better version very soon after they hear people's complaints. 3) The price will always go down unless it is apple who thinks an ipod is as valuable 3 years after the model is released as it was on the first day.
- shredomatic, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3They need to make one with handles for us big Americans with big hands.
- firedrillduckie, on 11/16/2007, -0/+3Awesome.
I just bought a DSlite like, an hour ago. - Scatropolis, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3If they replaced the GBA slot with an SD slot or some kind of flash memory slot I'd be all over it...
Eventually - yasirwisdom, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2same here...
and its all creaky when i open it - alexforcefive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2I was going to buy a lite in the new year! phew!
- Etheo, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2Agreed. Seriously, this digg title is missing the word RUMOUR right at the beginning.
- Elranzer, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2Perhaps it will have rumble built-in as well as the extra RAM needed to run the DS browser.
- jjremy, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2Damn it. My ds lite's hinge broke last week.
Now I;m torn. Do I buy a new one now or wait and see about this. - demodawid, on 11/16/2007, -0/+2I'm not saying they are lying, but if I remember correctly, they denied the existence of the DS Lite a week before they announced it.
- Snyz, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Are you completely sure that the graphics have a fixed resolution? I mean, why wouldn't it just adapt to the screen size like any console would with different TV sizes?
- BearinG, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1Its still annoying isn't it?!
- NoQuarter, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2Yeah, there have been carts for the DS which only use the DS slots for about a year now. They take Micro SD cards and can play any game.
