Hot off the heels of previous DS redesign rumors comes a new claim that Nintendo will release an original DS handheld in April or May of 2009. While the dual touch screen rumor remains intact in the newest report, Nintendo allegedly has plans to include widescreen aspect ratios as well. Currently, it is not known whether this is simply another DS redesign or a “DS 2.” However, based on Nintendo’s continued success with the DS Lite, the signs are pointing in the direction of a remodel rather than an entirely new system.
