Nintendo of America, UK comment on new DS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
“The Nikkei newspaper wrote a recent story about a DS solely based upon their own research and speculation, without interviewing Nintendo. While Nintendo is always working on new hardware, we have not made any announcement about a DS and we cannot comment on the Nikkei story.” – Nintendo of America statement
“Nintendo has made no such announcement and will not comment on rumour and speculation.” – Nintendo UK statement
Statements from three different territories have come to light as of now, with Nintendo of Japan’s comments earlier this morning. The general idea that Nintendo seems to be trying to provide is that they simple won’t comment because no announcement has been made. The Nikkei portion of the NOA statement is interesting, however. How reliable is Nekkei’s source considering Nintendo was never approached?
Update: The image posted before was actually a picture of the DS Lite’s screens. I’ve edited in a new picture, and supposedly the image above is what the screens will look like.
Obviously, this picture doesn’t look to be the whole DS pieced together…Just part of how it looks, meaning the screens. I’m still slightly skeptical that Nintendo even has a new DS in store. Would they really be willing to release a new product despite successful sales with the DS Lite?

Nintendo comments on new DS rumors
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
Details regarding a new DS were leaked over the weekend, but there are always doubts when rumors arise. However, Nintendo has commented on the situation and the response is a bit different than the typical “we cannot comment on rumors and speculation” approach. Said Nintendo, “We are always developing new products; No formal announcement has been made, thus we cannot comment at this time.” The possibility of a new DS is still alive and well, especially because there are a few reliable Japanese sources behind the original rumor. However, it’s pretty much a guarantee that the rumor’s validity will finally be put to rest come Thursday at Nintendo’s fall conferences.
Here are the most important listings from the latest ESRB update…

Rumor: Camera, music playback in the next DS? – UPDATE
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Rumors | 1 Comment
Update: Looks like Nikkei Net is confirming the news.
A massive rumor has just hit the Internet involving features in a new DS system. Nekkei newspaper and Monex have allegedly released information detailing functions in a new DS model such as music playback, the inclusion of a digital camera, and a larger screen. The new DS would sell for under 20000 yen in Japan later this year and would additionally allow for data exchange on an SD card between the Wii and DS. As was mentioned, the rumor also says there will be a wireless connection power up function and the digital camera would allow for news types of games.
Keep in mind that this is a very big rumor and I wouldn’t exactly trust this information (hence why I’m marking it as a rumor in the first place!) Even though Nintendo has conferences scheduled next week, considering the DS’ sales have yet to truly slow (and the fact that Nintendo hasn’t exactly been a full SD card supporter), a new system might not be the smartest thing for Nintendo.
