New Nintendo DS model shown at E3?

All you jerks out there who are used to lording your shiny new DS Lites over Phat-owning early-adopters might have to get used to playing second fiddle soon. In the latest issue of Japanese gaming rag Famitsu, publisher Hirokazu Hamamura speculates that a new version of Nintendo' s best-selling handheld may be revealed at this summer' s E3 trade show.

As detailed in a Bloomberg Japan report (sketchy machine translation), Hamamura' s comments seem based on nothing more than industry chatter and pure conjecture on his part -- Nintendo predictably offered up a no comment. The timing does seem about right, though -- going back to the Game Boy days, Nintendo has released a new portable hardware revision roughly every two years since 1996' s Game Boy Pocket (1998: Game Boy Color; 2001: Game Boy Advance; 2003: GBASP; 2004: Nintendo DS; 2005: Game Boy Micro; 2006: DS Lite).

Its certainly possible, it could be a new generation gameboy, Nintendo did state that DS wasnt a successor to the gameboy, but i bet that was untill how great a success it was!

This isn' t DS 2. It' s DS ultra lite.

This isn' t DS 2. It' s DS ultra light.

Yeah most likely! Since DS is selling so wlel they would be stupid to implement another DS.

A Ds and a gameboy might coexist though, but i highly doubt its a GB.

So a DS ultralight!

I hope they don' t make it smaller. My hands already get sore when I' m using my DS Lite for over 30 mins. It' s just too damn cramped.

I already have an original recipe DS and a DS Lite, f' you Nintendo if you dare bring out yet another version of the DS!!!
