    Default The final name for the Nintendo DS...

    "The Nintendo DS"

    http://www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?...7-ab1dc6fab277

    Still no date or launch library list yet.

    Also, they changed the design. It actually looks cooler! I can't wait for this now... not that I couldn't wait before. But now I really want to spend that um.. whatever it'll be.

    It looks nice, but I'm disappointed that they didn't add an analog control to it. I'm not sure how using the stylus for 3D movement is going to work out.

    The new look isn't any better to me. Now it looks like a Nintendo DS instead of something I could sneak into meetings and say it's an Address book/PDA/Touch Screen Fast Food device.

    It looks a little larger also, but looking at where the controrols are, it's identical (Except Star/Select have been Mirrored to the other sides).
    Of course it's known as the DS. I's already been given that name by all gamers. Even if they changed the name, people wouldn't call it anything different. You have to rename things early. I don't anyone that still calls the GameCube the Dolphin!

    Call me a fan boy all you want. But in the looks categorie that system poops all over the PSP. I kinda liked teh old design just as much. They went for a more futuristic look here, and captured it but it looks a little chunkier. Still looking foward to it.

    Yes, and the D-pad has been fine and dandy for those 2D games. From what I've seen, they intend to develop 3D games for the system.

    I like the new design a hell of a lot better than the old one. I do still wish it had an analog stick though. It probably won't be a problem, considering I have played some 3D games with a D-Pad and not had problems.

    As far as I remember, there are 2 cart slots...1 on the bottom and 1 on the top of the system (1 for DS, 1 for GBA). The stylus slides into a hole on the side of the system. At least thats the way it was before the redesign. I'm not completely sure though.

    Two things...

    1) what's the scale for this? My #2 complaint for the GBA is even with the redesign, it's still uncomfortable for my hands.

    2) show me the games! My #1 complaint for the GBA...there just isn't that much I want to play on the system (though I do loves me some Pinball of the Dead.)

    I like the other design better. Seems I'm the only one
