The New Nintendo DS (redesigned)

[KryoNexus]

This from the Register.

Nintendo's DS handheld console will indeed be called the 'Nintendo DS' when it ships later this year, the Japanese company confirmed today.

It also revealed the unit's final design - a sleeker, more elegant look than the more old-style shape shown at the E3 show earlier this year.

At that time, Nintendo maintained that the DS name - simply standing for 'dual screen' - was just a codename, no more. But the name has stuck, and with World+Dog happy with and continuing to use the 'Nintendo DS' moniker, the console maker has decided to use it on the final version.

"Nintendo DS, originally chosen as the code name, has been selected as the official product name," it said today. "The Nintendo DS name evokes the idea of a portable system with dual screens, providing the rationale for the final name."

This might be the handheld to top them all.

I agree... ever since I received my first PC, I've not give much thought about hand-helds.

I must say I am stuck between both worlds of console gaming and pc gaming. My girlfriend is a video game junkie and myself I prefer computer for the most part. But since I met her I've spent countless dollars on videogames (I own all the final fantasy series). But since she met me she has become addicted to little mmorpg games so my computer time is limited so I'm forced to waste my time elsewhere

now that i have seen the power of computer graphics, its just too hard to go back to consoles... every time i watch someone play a playstation 2 or xbox, it just looks like a garbled mess of pixels to me....
