A guy at another forum thinks the smaller one is going to be a touch-screen for controls. I think that would be about right.

i thought about that idea, but i'd be too hard to find the buttons, so i dont think that'd be how it works.

so how is this not going to replace the gameboy again?

I'll whine if I want to whine, and you are welcome to disagree with me. But if they're not planning on upgrading the Gameboy sometime soon, I personally think that Nintendo is in deep.

It's been one blunder after another from Nintendo lately in terms of how to run their company and what they think we should want. And personally, I'm tired of it. If they want me to continue buying their products, they can start asking me what I want in a system. Like Microsoft did with the XBox.

I've been a Nintendo fan through and through for a long time. But I'm not a fanboy, and I have a limit to how much I can take before I say 'cut the crap'. And I'm not saying that any of you are fanboys. I'm just saying that I've hit my limit of the number of stupid decisions I can take without snapping. And maybe you've all just got a little more faith than me. Nintendo's not going where I am, and pretty soon I'm gonna have to say goodbye.

I've got a lot of old Nintendo games I will play and cherish forever, but if this keeps going the way it is, I won't have many new ones.

I personally don't like it at all because I mean why put two screens just enchance one and make it semi bigger and then add more power to it so it can play better games.

Well, they say it doesn't have anything to do with the GameBoy, so hopefully we'll get a new gameboy in 2005 anyway. And IF the Nintendo DS is a succes, they can implement features into the next GB.

BTW this isn't the only 'innovative' feature. The rest is gonna be revealed on E3 I guess.. Perhaps they have some more tricks up their sleeve...

Did they say that or are you just being psychic?

it was something about the bulk of the information being revealed later, but that could be complete specs, game announcements, price etc yada blam...

I still say it sounds silly... If it's good, well then yay for them, and if it's bad then it'll be good for a laugh...

This time, however, you can't blame any problems on Nintendo's senile ex-president

even with crash's renditions of the NDS i cant imagine it but the way that Fran/Matt (dont know which one) made it.

i think that we'll just have to see for it

i hope that they can get a picture of the NDS before they show it at E3
