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."

  1. Cheesy... by quecojones · · Score: 0, Troll

    It may end up being a kick-ass product, but from looking at those pictures, it just reminds me of those cheesy throw away calculators they sell for $2. You know, the ones that are supposed to look like a sleek/sexy PDA, but are really just crappy calculators?

    Being a Nintendo handheld, it'll probably rock, but... I'm not buying anything that looks like that. Sony's the one that'll get my money.

    WTF are you talking about? I used to own a Virtual Boy, retard. The stereoscopic effect was cool, but the red and black LED-like color of the graphics was lame.
