Nintendo DS Gets Sleeker Final Design, Same Name

Posted by simoniker on from the nothing-to-see-here dept.

Ravi Hiranand writes "Nintendo has announced the final name of their Nintendo DS handheld, and it will be called... Nintendo DS. The final design of the system is viewable on their official site (screenshot) - looks sleeker and far less chunky, but still a bit awkward. There's also an English-language press release full of waffly language, but the only things you need to know are that there are 120 DS games in development (20 from Nintendo) and that the price, release date and launch lineup will be announced later."

    ...because two screens are clearly superior to one screen. Logically, this machine must be exactly twice as much fun as a handheld game with only one screen.

    I can barely control my excitement, because it is a given that Nintendo will eventually release the QS with four screens. That amount of fun is sure to explode the heads of children and the elderly.

    The retooled Nintendo DS features a thinner, black base and an angular platinum flip-top cover

    Platinum? Sheesh. They are going for the top end of the market, aren't they?

    1. Buy Nintendo DS
    2. Melt casing into ingots
    3. Profit!
