The Nintendo DS

I swear to God, if this is real, then Nintendo has just handed the portable market to Sony and signed its own death warrent.

I Hate Nintendo. I Hate their Japanese business strategies. I Hate Nintendo.

This was the last straw.

How is this a rumor gone bad? IGN clearly labels any information that is a rumor to be just that. I dont see RUMOR anywhere in that article. And its way too early to be an april fools joke. Sounds like the real deal to me.

Thatmariolover: Stop your whining. They havent said a thing about specs, the overall design, or anything really. I for one think it could be great. Of course I have no clue how the thing will play, look, feel, or anything. Therefore I will not say much about how much I like/dislike this thing. The rest of you should feel the same way.

Two screens? Hopefully this thing will have two-player games instead of just multiple views.

Some people brought up some good ideas on the PGC forums. Imagine playing a friend who has the same system (via link cable) and seeing his screen and your screen at the same time, and vice versa. It's a very neat concept in my book. If it's marketed correctly, and has some decent processing power, it could be a hit. Maybe. At the very least, Nintendo pulled another one out of it's ass, reminding us that they do what they want, and that even with all that speculation and guessing games that we play, we have no clue. Our guesses were a sick joke. Nobody even came close. I applaud them for surprising us once again.

I had a reply for this. Then when i hit Post, f ucking gametavern went down. So I wasn't able to go back and at least copy what I wanted to say. So oh well. I can't remember what I had typed.

But short and simple. I want to see it.

Good effort, it looks really slick, but there's a glaring problem. There's no way you could hold that thing without your hand covering part of the bottom screen. And Im pretty sure I read in one of the articles that one screen will be directly on top of the other.
