dude already? I hoped they would wait another year before trying to make a better one. A small one would be nice though. |

Oh what the heck? Making it smaller? I kinda' figured the DS was small enough as it was. Different levels of brightness is good though. I guess. As long as it doesn't lose any features (like the SP's lack of headphone jack and incompatibility with the E-reader) people who get it should be happy enough. Now bring us Metroid Prime Hunters! That's suppose to be out soon, isn't it? _________________ Church: Are you following any of this?

Ah, yes, I heard about this rumour on Digg.com a few weeks back, and Nintendo's PR came back and said there wasn't going to be a redesign... But the rumour is indeed true.
Official Japanese press release: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/news/060126.html
Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS_Lite
Obviously the major reason for the redesign is prevelant in the aesthetics and physical appearance; they're preparing for the Revolution.
The DS is almost definitely going to connect to the Rev in some shape or form, likely in the same way the GBA connected to the Gamecube. You'll note that the GBA and Gamecube shared the same colour scheme at first (notably purple with grey and black)
Therefore, it only makes sense for the DS to get a facelift and be more aesthetically similar to the next-gen console...
Methinks Apple is having an influence on Nintendo's current designs XD _________________

I bet they'll be released in other countries in about a year or two. Which will fit since some people may need a new one around then. |

The font on the a and b buttons looks like the buttons from the Revo controller.

Nintendo and Apple merge to make...

I have a GBA, GBSP, and a GBM, and I can honestly say I like the GBM the most. Yes, I like it the most for a superficial reason - it looks better, and is easier to carry around.
In this case, however, the DS Lite actually seems to have something to offer along with being smaller than the DS. I might get one. |

I suppose it's going to be like the GBA SP buy it if you don't have a GBA but if you have one already whats the point? |

the same reasons i love the GBM. and because the screen is so small and so clear. i must say, when you play the Micro, you'll never want to go back. i mean, i played a game on Micro, then on SP... oh man, there was a definate difference.
i'm guessing with the DS Lite, the screens will be clearer than the original DS. that's probably the reason Nintendo's making it. that and they want more money. _________________ just call me xfyre. not xfyrethespooky. |

The best thing I'm liking about this is the centered microphone. Now it can be easier for me to cheer on Rockman or inflate my baloons in MKDS Balloon Battles!!! :D But when it mentioned Wi-Fi, does that mean it has its own built-in Wi-Fi connection?? :/ _________________ I am Solar Boy Django!
