Redesigned DS

[Rhykasho]

Looks pretty good though me rather keep me old DS then waste money on the same console that has just gotten a face lift O.o

 

[The Fallen]

It's pretty nice; much nicer then the original for sure. I was waiting to buy a DS and I'm glad I did.

 

[The S]

I actually prefer the DS Lite's design to the current one's. Perhaps I'll pick one of these up once they become much cheaper (or, in counterpoint, I become much less poor). At least it's not like the SP... dang I really hated those things!

 

[Draik]

If the SP didn't release, I'd be surprised. The DS Lite seems okay... at the least. But... white <3

Andy brings up a good point about the micro...if I played that somehow, someway id swallow it, but that'd be an awesome way to die "I died by a bullet wound", "I died from cancer" "Hey guess what? i swallowed a gameboy!"

well i bought by DS last June and it rocks...but i over played it and have charged it over night more then once on accident...and the battery life is starting to die on me...maybe i will buy this one, im afraid it'll be to sharp (the corners) and i'd end up cutting off my fingers when i play it...XD

oh yeah i came back to PC for a couple minutes everyone!

Nothing major to me. I'm pissed because after I got my GBA the SP came out with the lighted screen - that was the big thing. I'll probably get the old version when I do because it's cheaper.

Hey i just noticed something...WHERES THE ON BUTTON!? XD lol

 

[Samurai X]

A lot of people(not here) keep saying that it's too i-Pod looking because it's white, it's not like Apple invented that color.

Anyways, I will probably be getting one of these when it comes out here in the States. Nintendo does want our money and they'll be getting mine. I'm making them rich!!

You're just like Austin. I told him you turned it on by using your mind. XD

It's most likely on the side like the SP was.

Well, makes me glad I haven't bought myself a DS.

But, I could get myself an older version for under $100 at some places I know of.

If you turned it on using your mind I'd buy it. Talk about innovation! XD

You know, I know it was confirmed to be a switch like the SP, but your post made me thing of something else, if the switch is now on the said and is like the SP the system can no longer be turned off by the firmware, which means they have to upgrade it. Now I'm hoping that they don't do something like add WPA support or online Pictochat or I might have to try and get my hands on one of these too.

Ehh, this seems way too early for a DS Redesign... But I guess it looks pretty good. I probably won't end up getting it though. =(

Well, it does have a downside if you turn it on and off by using your mind...

Andy: *Playing games and getting a really high score on a new game*
Andy's mom: Turn the lights off and go to bed.
Andy: *Thinks Lights "off"* off... *Looks down at the DS and sees it turn off* O_O NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm sure it's still in the prototype stage. They'll most likely have it on the side but a button like the DS one.

Looked like a style-concious version of the DS at first, but the touchscreen is supposedly raised- definete turnoff IMO.

Anyway, I think it's safe to say that DSlite will kill off some PSP fans, especially the ones condemning the original DS because of it's fisherprice-toy-resemblence.

Oh, and by the way- are the buttons backlit?

 

[Morkula]

It's been confirmed that the power button is a switch on the side, guys... XD

In regards to the switch thing and the firmware not being able to turn it off, they could always update the firmware or the switch might be like the PSP switch, just switch it on and it turns on(or off) and then the switch goes back to it's original position. Also it just might be a button............

Well that's exactly my point, if they upgrade the firmware for that they can also update it for other things like WPA support in the process.

BTW, did anyone see this color of the new DS?

It's not official, but Nintendo did say they will release this new DS in three colours at launch so hopefully black is one of them. :D

 

[MOON~DANCER]

I WANT THAT DS OR THE BLUE ONE ....*sigh* my family doesnt have enough money.....

Finally the question of, "where is the power button?" is answered, here is a pic, this is a prototype(assumingly) but it looks pretty much like the picture Nintendo gave out, the white looks flatter than I thought but it's all good, it's just a prototype.
