Whoops! All those abbreviations tend to confuse a simple mind like mine.

Nintendo keeps yelling that "THIS IS NOT REPLACING THE GBA!!" but I don't see how that's possible considering the effort they're cramming into this compounded with the developers they say have signed on. I'm guess they just don't want to hurt their current market and will slowly pull support for the SP (while allowing shitty shovelware to still be released).

It's getting a little annoying since I've bought 2 Nintendo handhelds in the last few years and it looks like I'm going to have to buy another if I want decent portible games.

agrt. reminds me of a few years ago when i got a gameboy (because i didn't have one) then a gameboy color a few months afterwards (because it just came out and i wanted some games for it)

i'll probably ignore this thing until something unbelievably awesome comes out for it. also, i want a wallet-sized, classic nintendo-style sp to carry around

hmm, will this affect the price of other nintendo handhelds?

Personally I doubt it, at least for a while. I think this will launch at a high enough price that the GBA will still be competitive to casual gamers and people looking for a neat toy.

I won't get this for a while since I'm interested in the PSP and I bet Nintendo will trump themselves with a better version of this half a year later anyway.

"Fake!" , posted Tue 11 May 08:53

According to This, it's a fake, look at the date, it's before E3, and it's along other "concepts" of NDS.

I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Anyway, tomorrow we'll see.

In some odd way I hope it is fake just because it would mean the already ridiculous USA Today has taken to publishing mock-ups without bothering to note that they are concept pictures.

I thought the two screens were going to be layered. The front one would be transparent, obviously. While the one behind is solid. Kind of pointless to have two solid screens, imo. Neat, but pointless.

... damn, I was hoping it was a fake. I'm not too keen on the round edges or the heavy amount of blank case space. Sure, that may be where the hardware needs to go, and it seems like logos still need to be fitted on -- but it still looks like it's the d-pad and buttons, the screens, and then a whole lot of nothing but plastic. [EDIT: And, it doesn't seem like it's going to come in a cute size, either. I know, I know, form follows function -- but still, it doesn't look like an attractive piece of plastic!]

... and, if the games are going to be 3D, any word if that d-pad is going be analog?
