Product Mini Profile Nintendo DS Hardware in: Nintendo DS links » p/reviews user reviews faqs/guides

Heard about that fancy new DS just recently reported on by Japanese business wire Nikkei Net?  The one which supposedly features (official) music playback, a built-in camera, a Secure Digital flash media slot for expansion AND bigger screens, scheduled by the end of this year?  It all sounds incredibly tasty, especially for the rumored suggested retail pricing of around 20,000 yen ($188 USD).  For the time being however, Nintendo itself isn't issuing any comments of their own.

Nintendo of America in particular explains that the original Nikkei Net article was based on speculation and its own research; not necessarily troubling things on their own, yet the wire did not actually confer with Nintendo itself for any part of it.  At least as far as Nintendo's American branch is concerned, anyways!  The console giant didn't quite outright deny the rumor in any case, falling back on the old "we're always working on new hardware" argument.  We just might get the full story at Nintendo's next press conference.
