    It's bad enough that there's a way for preteens to take pictures with their Nintendos, but it's named the Thrustmaster? For shame...

    Kids arent getting the good gifts we used to get. My favorite gift was the 50 buck 300 in one electronics lab. If you wanted anything cool you had to make it yourself. #dsistudiokit

    Nintendo's response: While the PSP GO!'s drywall penetration is clearly superior vs the DSi's particle board penetration, we here at Nintendo are happy with the wallet penetration the entire DS line holds. #nintendodsshotthroughwall

    I would like to see this happen, but what about service? Who is providing it? Verision? AT&T? Sprint? Or will it be everyone and nintendo will go bankrupt with all the super high fees and everything from all the carriers? #nintendods

    That would be one hell of a bold move. And would clearly one-up the new PSP Go.

    I couldn't imagine how Nintendo would pull off free 3G like that. Though I guess the DS is less reliant on downloads/online gaming than the PSP Go would be, so it's just a lateral move from Sony's. (Both "progressive" but in different ways/directions) #nintendods

    Man, if the current platform can be paired with decent graphics and HD video, that'll put the DS more toe-to-toe capabilities-wise with the PSP.

    Software, though... Bratz HD isn't exactly something to look forward to. Let's hope that devs will be hooked to make more games aimed at older audiences.

    @Caeruleas: Yes, there is crap stuff on the DS, but seriously, if you like certain types of games (read: old-school RPGs), the DS is a gold-mine.

    New Pokemon, new FF Tactics, new Suikoden, remakes of Dragon Quests and the 2D FFs and Disgaea, rereleased Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, The World Ends With You, Mario & Luigi RPG, three different Tales games (though none in the US grr), etc.

    It may not have the 3D guts to pull off FPSes or other 3D games as well as the PSP, but it has a respectable library with more big name turn-based RPGs than anything else this generation (mostly because the PS3 and XBox haven't had too many RPGs, but still).

    Obviously, if you're hacking your PSP to play PS1 games, you can get a bigger game library, but I don't think the DS has suffered the lack of good core games nearly as badly as the Wii has.

    @Caeruleas:

    This comment confuses me. On the one hand, anyone with half a brain knows that the DS platform is way above and beyond the PSP brand. On the other hand, it just seems like you have no idea what you're talking about.

    @Anonymoose: Oh God yes. I'm sick of 256 x 192, the pixels are too obvious. If they keep the same screen ratio/size, at least 320 x 224 would be good.

    @CustomFirmware: For widescreen, depending on what screen ratio Nintendo goes with, there's several good options:

    624x390 for 16:10
    704x396 for 16:9
    650x390 for whatever ratio 800x480 is
    576x384 for 3:2

    All the above have screen hieghts that are close or the same as 2x of the DS, making it optimal for backwards compatibility (390 pixels gets 3-pixal black bars and 396 gets 6-pixel black bars)

    Though for all we know the next DS could have a single flexible/foldable OLED screen (which would be awesome btw)

    As much as I love Android on a proper device (*drools over Hero*), it's really becoming the go-to platform for crappy device manufacturers. Good for them, I suppose. Still.....
