[quote name='Strell']So what music do people have queued up to play during this weenie roast?
Personally I'm rocking the Monkey Island 2 soundtrack. That means I am way more awesome than you are.[/QUOTE]
Music? Lame. I'm rockin' out while playing some Orbital.
[quote name='Iwata says:']At the pace the Nintendo DS has been selling, you might think that the market has been saturated. But we believe we can still expand it.[/quote]
Hmm....

[quote name='ChibiJosh']So, just to be clear, does "new DS" mean what the lite is to the original DS, or is it more the DS2?[/QUOTE]
From what Broly is saying, I'm thinking Nintendo is gambling with the "another pillar" meaneuver again.
I.e., maybe they want a dedicated gaming DS, a more media-capable DS, and their console line.
If that is the case, this conference is about to get a WHOLE lot uglier, since it will 100% undoubtedly be devoted to non-core-gaming functions.

IGN: Iwata announces the company's rumored new DS handheld, called "DS-i." Says that Nintendo believes it can continue to expand the market with this newest of devices. The DS-i will be smaller and will also lose the GBA cart slot from previous versions of the handheld.
GameKyo: 6:52 : 12%, 2.6 millimeters thinner, GBA slot will be excluded.
6:51 : It's going from one system per house to one system per person.

Ok, my assumptions in an earlier thread were slightly wrong, and I'm taken by surprise.
i = camera?
Slimmer, slightly larger screens (unconfirmed), camera. Basically DSLite 2.0?

[quote name='KingBroly']So VC on DSi perhaps? Damnit Nintendo[/QUOTE]
I know you run around at GoNintendo and saw that IGN speculated this might be their "storage solution."
So now instead of cleaning the fridge, we move shit into the storage shed. Great.
Just
ing rip the SD card slot out of the damned Wii and save yourself the 2 bucks per console, Nintendo.

Watch, on board memory is going to be something like 256mb...
From Wired:
13:59: More from Gemaga. As the rumors indicated, the DSi has a larger screen, 3.25 inches. There's a camera, and an audio-playing function. The camera is... goodness. 300,000 pixels? Is that 3 megapixels? You can apparently edit pictures using the touch screen. When playing back sounds, you can adjust the pitch and the playback speed. Why's that important? Why, for studying languages or playing music by ear, of course.
14:00: There's an SD memory card slot so you can dump your pictures right to Wii's photo channel, for example
14:04: Whoa, there's onboard memory apparently, so you can load it up with software... like games. You can download games. With Wii Points. Holy cow. Wii Points will be renamed "Nintendo Points."

3 Megapixel?
Bit low.. my cell phone can do better.
BUT - smaller with larger screens.. if the quality of those screens improved.. Then I might get one instead of the lite...
(my current DS is one of the big originals.. been considering getting a lite for a while now)
The pictures dont look MUCH different from a lite though

14:10: The "DS Station" download kiosks in Japanese stores will enter their "second phase." A new service called "Nintendo Zone" will be started, which you can also use at McDonald's. (This must be the "strengthened internet communication" that early reports from Nikkei discussed.)
14:11: Nintendo DSi will be released in white and black color variations, and launch on November 1 for 18900 yen (about $180). Yes, they've just raised the price of Nintendo DS a second time. You knew it was coming.
