Nikkei spills beans, new DS has music and camera

Gagandeep SharmaSep 29 2008

Nintendo has not made an official announcement as yet but we are prepared to take Nikkei’s word; especially if it holds so much promise! Japanese business daily Nikkei has reported and it has been transcribed by Reuters, that Nintendo will be launching a new DS by the end of 2008. Nikkei reports that the new model will have, among others, music-support, a built-in camera, and advanced wireless features. Given this, we can always guess the presence of either an internal memory or a card slot. Such changes would pit DS against gizmos like cell phones with gaming features, and perhaps even iPhone. The cost of the new DS-avatar is expected to be less than 20,000 yen ($189). DS has sold over 77 million units worldwide since its release nearly four years ago, but one would expect a revamp somewhere down the line; more so after new announcements by rivals, and a strong showing in recent months by PSP. Okay so here’s the deal: Tokyo Game Show kicks off in a week or so, you keep your ears open for any major announcement from Nintendo and in return you can have nights of blissful expectation.
