Nintendo "TS" - Speculation on a Future Nintendo Handheld Powered by an NVIDIA Chip

[foltzie]

Speculation out on the Interwebs that Nintendo is working with Nvidia on the Tegra based chipset for a future handheld game device. Tegra is a chipset targeted at devices such as the Zune and various smartphones.

Keep the salt shakers handy, especially as you read the target dates.

Better graphics.
Super thin form.
Bigger screens.
Internet connectivity.
Backwards compatible with DS.

Already have a thread.

it's nice that it's BC with DS, but we'll see what comes of it. hoping for at least DS, because then I can upgrade.

Reading a bit further this isnt passing the sniff test just yet. This seems more like NVIDIA has had pitch sessions with Nintendo showing off the Tegra platform.

Probably not, I even conceded my mistake above. But given that bumping a thread moves it back up the chain...

If a mod would like to lock this thread, I'm cool with that.
