Default Iwata Speaks!

The DS came in for criticism for not following the traditional Nintendo design aesthetic. Some have even called it ugly. Given Nintendo’s history of evolving the design of portable hardware, will we see a revised model DS? Again, Iwata-san laughs good heartedly. “Hardware developers at Nintendo are always looking for what comes next and what will be the new direction as soon as they finish the design of any particular piece of hardware. Some of them are actually working on improved functionality of the existing machine, with some working on a rework of the exterior design exactly in the same way they did with the transition from Game Boy Advance to Game Boy Advance SP,” hinting at a possible, dare we say probable reissue in the not too distant future. But there’s more. “Some designers are working on a completely new project, completely different from the existing DS platform,” perhaps the most concrete mention of the new Game Boy development to date. Iwata-san continues, “But, what I can tell you is nothing complete has been decided right now about when or what kind of modifications or new features will be added to existing machines. However, I am the one who is looking forward the most to the time when one of Nintendo’s developers approaches me and says, ‘Look! We have come up with the great idea!’. So once again, I have nothing concrete to share at this time.” Perhaps at E3?
