Nintendo plans to launch a new version of its popular DS portable gaming device with a camera and music player function, according to a report in the Sunday edition of The Nikkei Business Daily. The new version will have better wireless capability for connecting to the Internet and will cost under $189, the report said. It will be offered first in Japan, it said. The DS first went on sale in 2004, and a second version, called the DS Lite, debuted two years later in 2006. Both have sold extremely well, with worldwide sales of the DS products at 77.5 million units as of the end of June this year."

Sign me up. Already have a Lite, but will probably pick up one of these too.

Hey, watch it! Commodore Taco is one of the best dotslash editors out there! Anyone who says otherwise is obviously snorting too much pot.
