Nintendo DS2 on its way, hopes to eliminate homebrew scene
Nintendo is set to release an upgrade to the current DS Lite. Will you take the plunge? Not even for dual touch screen functionality?
This may come as a shocker to some of you but the Nintendo DS will see a new, fresher, model out within the next year or so. Let me give you a minute to absorb that - done?
IGN has posted some mocks of what the new DS might look like and what it might incorporate. The specifics are still largely rumor heavy, but news has it could release in April or May 2009 release.
Why Chrono Trigger is such a big deal
Chrono Trigger makes its way onto the DS; so what’s all the hype about?
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last thirteen some odd years - the arrival of Chrono Trigger on the SNES was a very big deal. Not only did it feature extensive depth and backstory to its multiple characters, it also showcased multiple endings depending on the choices the player made through out the course of the game.
Nintendo DS 2 on its way, maybe
Low Japanese DS sales are prompting Nintendo to take serious action.
Word out of Gizmodo is rumoring the Nintendo DS could see a face lift as early as the end of this calendar year. Are you really surprised? The original DS got the overhaul in June of ‘06 just a year and a bit after its original release. Now, in ‘08, it wouldn’t come as a shock for Nintendo to keep up the strong sales with a new look DS. Also, since piracy has become a problem for Nintendo, an ulterior motive might be to curb the homebrew scene as well.
Nintendo in more hot soup
I just realized how long that picture actually is. Makes this article look so short in comparison.
According to Reuters the Big N has filed a lawsuit against five Japanese firms for importing equipment that allows illegal programs to be loaded onto the Nintendo DS.
It’s no secret that flash-card options like the R4 and DSTT are probably taking a chunk of change out of Nintendo’s pockets. But, when looking at the large global reach Nintendo has, how much could it really be affecting them? I mean, Nintendo’s target is the casual and young gamer.
