Default The official name for the DS

Is Nintendo DS. I guess they liked it and I don't blame em.

They have shown the final look of the machine:

"Software companies worldwide have more than 120 Nintendo DS games in development. Nintendo alone is developing more than 20 titles, and in excess of 100 companies have signed on to create games for the new system."

It looks pretty good. And the news about the games and the companies signing on is very good. I have a question? Does the DS use discs or cartridges? I haven't really been paying much attention to it..

Cartridges. But don't worry, battery life isn't going to be bad

Well when I first saw the pic didn't think it was much changed from the original design.. Then I saw the old design, and it is a big change, it looks a whole lot sleeker and the color is better

Only issue is where does the stylus go?

Lower right area of the DS, see that small circle? The bigger image shows where the stylus goes very well.

Here's another pic of the DS shut


I guess they had to improve after seeing Sony's sleek design for the PSP
