Anyone find "power" yet? Maybe you're just supposed to say "DS, activate" into the mic or something

Looks dumb. Not even any different other than colorwise. I'd rather get an older one, they look much better than this IMO. If they could bring the screens closer togther I could see this being better, but as it is it jsut looks like an iPod knockoff.

Are we sure this is even real and not a concept?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that that was the full size pic I posted, so its fairly smaller :O

It's real strait from Nintendo. It's coming out in two months in Japan so if it is a concept they better get there act together because they are gonna need a few hundred thousand by the relese date. And they arn't copying the Ipod, they are coplying the revolution controler. It has the same D pad and buttons as well as color.

OK now this is just silly. People complain because Sony made smaller versions of the PSX and the PS2, and yet they go out and buy a GBA, a Nano, an SP, a DS, and now this thing.

At least Sony waits a few years before they release a new model of the same platform!

I mean, I kind of like it...but still, at least wait another year! man, they're really trying to just make sure either everyone has a DS, or a lot of people have TWO DSs

....oh wait, maybe they're just trying to make more money

The D-pad looks just stupid, the speakers are smaller ( that means less sound) and they are going to charge more for this? oh and I held my stylus up to the picture and they dont match. Therefore the picture is not actual size btw

1) Something about it just looks too bland.
2) That's some retarded mic placement.
3) I just bought the other one.
EDIT: 4) Weren't Start and select far enough out of reach in the first place?

At least you don't feel forced to buy the newer one. There isn't some major new feature like the GBA SP's backlight.

Well it does have 4 light brightnesses... I translated the page.

I'll just stick with my DS that I have now.

@NES-Fanatic
Maybe you have to "touch" it on. Remember it's good to touch.
