Nintendo DS outlook in 2006

[Dunlap]

Love Nintendo. My main reason for not buying a DS has been the current design, so I've been waiting for a new one.
And the old model will be cheaper!

<crosses fingers for brighter screens and screens closer together.

screens closer together.

Why do people STILL say this nonsense?

[Jeremy]

To be fair, I think he's the only one here who's said that.

Aw crap, I am just about to buy a DS and now they are redesigning... Gotta wait for it then.

[meimei]

im also planning to buy DS but i havent heard that they are going to redesign it...what was that redesigning all about? is it to improve it or make it worse than ever? i think i have to wait it then too..

Dude, think about it a little more. It makes sense.

[Joust Williams]

Well, I've also put my two cents on this with my PDA form factor talk.

No. It doesn't.

Its not like the two screens are connected and you need them right next to each other anyway.

Hopefully it'll have a better D-Pad / less cramped button layout. Probably not though, as redesigns usually mean the system in question gets smaller instead of bigger.

Seriously though, fuck Nintendo for doing this. I'm not buying another DS until the one I've already got is old and decrepit.

I never upgraded my 1st gen GBA. I guess I was just blessed with good lighting where ever I went.

In Metroid pinball it does matter. That's probably a rare exception though.
