DS 2 rumors

– Nintendo, like other technology companies, are always working on new hardware
– Rumors happen every year
– Craig says that when rumors usually come out of Japan, you should sort of listen since it happened with the DS Lite and DSi
– Doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll announce something
– Craig thinks Nintendo will keep the DS name
– Also rumors of stylus rumble from a patent
– At GDC last year, old IGN editor (works for Pelican or some other company) showed Craig what they were working on, it was a rumbling stylus (plug in cartridge that sends signal to stylus, similar to Nintendo’s patent)
– Scott believes the next DS will be on par graphically with the PSP
– Nintendo sees that devs don’t want to put a lot of money into handheld development
– Technology created for the GameCube can be moved over to the next handheld, saves them money and dev time
– Craig has heard from a few sources that the nVidia graphics chip rumors are false

Thanks to Chris J for the news tip!

We posted the PAL version of the boxart a few weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, the North American version is pretty much the same. You can check it out below.

This information comes from Shu Takami, director of Ghost Trick…

“Some of the puzzles have different ways to solve them. For instance when a living person has to walk through an area full of traps, Sissel needs to manipulate a path for them.”

“There already is (a crossover with Phoenix Wright)! Will there be a major turnabout towards the end of the story? You will have to find out for yourselves…”
