What will the next nintendo handheld be like?

[Jas0n]

I think the dual-screen thing will be ditched as DS stands for dual-screen, and they can't keep making DS's forever.

If they plan to stick to the family market, I think they will make it more family friendly, meaning it will get as simple as it could possibly get. Though I somehow have a feeling that they will also make it good enough to support more high-end games and stuff that will attract the more "hardcore" type gamers to it. I mean, they could still cater for the family/casual crowd and they could reel in more people by adding a few features, so why wouldn't they? It would be more money in the long run for them.

Well, theyve already got a contract with some company to make graphics chips for a new console (the same one that makes Xbox 360 and DS graphics chips now)

So we'll probably see at least some improvement there

I think it's nVIdia, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, I want one to actually be a new handheld rather than just another update. I'm passing up the DSi because it's really quite worthless to me. Hopefully the next system will have PSP graphics or better. I'm tired of that pixely junk.

Nintendo will never officially move to the next generation of handheld. They will continue to release an upgraded DSi at full price every 3 months or so.

I think they will Keep 2 Screens,
Maybe put a Joystick thingy like PSP under D-Pad
Make the L+R Buttons a lot better and less sticky.
Add new Graphics card, new internet browser, A Picto-chat which goes wi-fi
But i think they wont bring back the GBA slot :/ and if they did i would want it to be Gameboy+Gameboy Colour compatable

It'll probably have a ds slot instead of a GB slot,
And theyll probably find some weird replacement for the JoyStick,

Maybe hae a little touch sensitive sensor with the same functionality as that new wii vitality watsit??

Actually, DS stands for both "Dual Screen" and "Developers' System".

But it still stands for dual-screen, so my point is still there xD

I wish anyways.
I'd buy an XBOX HUEG handheld for console quality games on the go.

This.

 

[Ciaran]

Well, judging by the way things have gone in the past this one will probably have graphics on par with the wii.

Gba is slightly better than the Snes, DS is slightly better than the N64, so the next DS should be slightly better than the GC and slightly better than the GC = Wii.

It will probably keep all of DSi's functionality, And I really want to see improved online play

 

[Bacon Boy]

They'll downgrade to a portable GCN. Then they'll start making new GCN games.

Man, nintendo is starting to fail >.<

They started when they changed Nintendo Revolution to Nintendo Wii.

"Lets call it wii because it can be a family console and everyone (we) can play!"

FAIL

Everything after the GCN and the original DS so far has seemed to suck. Next thing you know, we'll be getting virtual pet that glitch every two seconds... Owai-

 

[MrChuckman64]

Revolution sounded way more hardcore. It might would've attracted more of a hardcore audience than the Wii does now, because the Revolution is just a cooler name.
