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."

...adding all this extra stuff to a portable gaming console is just bloatware and evidence that the company doesn't have its priorities straight... ...wait, this is Nintendo and not Sony?
Brilliant! So innovative! Truly a mark of genius!

...when they announced that it had an RFID-powered Jew detector. Now I can play Mario Kart *and* keep those bastages off my lawn!
