There have been a bunch of rumors lately surrounding new Nintendo hardware over the past few weeks. One employee from a major publisher even went as far as to say that Nintendo might unveil a new platform at the Game Developer’s Conference, which will be taking place in just a few weeks.

Now rumor has it that Nintendo has started sending development kits for their next DS system. These kits have, apparently, been received by numerous studios already. Additionally, if further speculation is to be believed, the company may start selling the hardware before the end of 2010. Nintendo declined to comment about the latest batch of rumors, but perhaps the DS 2 will be officially announced at GDC or E3 if the company intends to release the system this year.

“Thank you for your further email. At this stage, no details about a possible transfer of the acquired Nintendo DSiWare known. Should this be possible in exceptional cases, would be sending both devices are required. Please contact for further questions do so again on its release of the Nintendo DSi XL to our customer service.” – Nintendo customer service response

This news isn’t surprising, as Nintendo of Australia took a similar stance last year for consumers who wished to transfer their data to a different colored DSi. It’s definitely a shame that there isn’t a convenient way to transfer downloads from one system to another. I wonder if it will be possible to move WiiWare/VC titles to the Wii’s successor when it launches…

Thanks to Johannes for the news tip!
