Nintendo DS picture released
A picture has been released of the upcoming Nintendo DS handheld system which includes a dual screen with a main 3" game display and a 3" touch sensitive secondary screen.
To view the picture and some article links, check out: http://www.buttonbash.com/home.php
It does look a bit large to me, but if the actual width is around 15cm the device will probably be in my pocket when it's released.
What do you guys think? Also what do you think would be a good name for the systen (DS is only a codename.)

ewwww looks ugly to me, especially compared to the design that a magazine made that was flying around the internet. Do Nintendo have no concept of a nice design?
Mind you, it looks Japanese, thats probably why its so bad█ Xcellweb.net - Quality Web Solutions That Work!

It depends on the size, on the picture it seems very large, but if it's smallish in size and depending upon the outside casing, it may look very sleek.

I lost interest in Nintendo after they released the gamecube. None of their gamecube games are as fun as the NES/SNES games. N64 wasn't to bad, but still not as fun. The old systems had much more replay value. A lot of games these days are fun, but once you finish the game, it gets boring fast. Also, the graphics are not as good as they advertised prior to launching the gamecube. Don't get me wrong, some of the graphics are nice, but not as nice as they could be. Whats sad is there isn't any decent mario games out. Mario Sunshine was a joke. Zelda was even worse.

I agree with RMF. I'd say Nintendo's prime was around when the original GameBoy, the SNES, and a few of the N64 games such as Mario 64 and Zelda: OoT.

All the little handheld systems have always hurt my eyes and given me a headache. The original Gameboy was torture and the others havent' been much better.

conceptual design usually becomes the opposite of what the real design is...... (remember ps2)
I agree the design should be better (it looked so 'unlike' the design trends of techonoly today) ....... but maybe it purpose is for longer durability and comfortability (for the player) when playing the handeld.
