The DS2

[Mako]

The following is based on insider reports coming from GDC, with devs supposedly confirming work on the DS2...

- two screens that are larger than what the DS offers, but the gap between the two is so small that both screens can be better utilized for making one big picture
- development kits comparable to GameCube
- devs say there isn't much of a learning curve
- accelerometer included
- devs looking to finish up their DS2 game development by the end of the year
- some devs think we could get an E3 2010 announcement, along with a release before 2010 closes out

Sounds pretty good to me. What do you guys think?

I... sill need to get my DSi.

If not then I won't buy a dsi at all.

I think they would be pretty stupid to not make it backwards compatible. I mean, it has two screens that are touch screens. It can handle DS games. We just don't know if the games will be on discs or what. There was a rumor that you could play GC games on it. And that's why they made GC discs so small. But I don't buy it. It will be very interesting to see what they do with it.

^ Haha, really think that's why Gamecube disks are small?

Yeah, I'm skeptical since the Dsi and the XL wasn't implemented with a GBA slot, gots me thinking if that's the path they're going to follow with the handhelds... but GC disks being in the next handheld would be both cool and risky..
