I was a skeptic about the news for a new DS featuring a camera, dual touch screens and MP3 player.. It just didn't seem like a logical move on Nintendo's part because it's a move you'd expect Sony to make. As a result I classified this as false news and decided not to bother with it, but it appears that I was wrong. That or the world is playing a very cruel joke.
Anyway, Nintendo announced a new DS called DSi which features dual touch screens (why? No idea) , camera (why? No idea), and an MP3 player, but suffers from lower battery life.
I guess they're trying to turn the DS into more than just a video games system and more like something to carry around on a daily basis, snapping up photos and listening to music.
Pictures after the jump.
Oh, and if you were wondering when you'll see it? Japan will see it November 1st, but the rest of us will be with empty christmas stockings for another year.
