I may finally break down and get a DS xD

yea i read about that yesterday! camera and mp3 playback with enhanced wifi capabilities.

i'll buy it as long as i can still use my R4 lololololol

lol R4 pho lyfe

Pretty cool,

 

BTW JON chris says whats up and he misses you, get the eff online more. haha

 

later

I'll be pissed if they put WPA security in this new one since they refuse to put it into the current DS.

I don't think it'll be out any time soon, if at all. While all of Nintendos mobile devices have gone through three iterations, it took them many mo' years than the DS has been on the market to do so.

huh?!

 

Dude, look at the lifespan of their handhelds.

 

GB: 7y

GB-P: 2y

GB-C: 2y 5m

GBA: 1y 11m

GBA-SP: 1y 8m

DS: 2y 5m

DS-L: 2y 7m

 

Judging by their track record I think they're going to release a new one in time for christmas.

I still have my Gameboy Pocket and SP :>

EXCLUSIVE: MCV source in the Far East guarantees the news retailers wanted to hear

 

Nintendo will announce a new, updated version of its DS console at a press conference tomorrow morning, MCV has learnt.

 

According to our impeccable source in Japan, Satoru Iwata will make the announcement at 5am UK time – as first predicted by MCV last month.

 

Little is known about the machine's exact extra functions, but we do know the product will be the ‘multimedia’ model mentioned by Nikkei this week – with an MP3 player and camera function.

Here i thought i was the only person who beat that game to a bloody pulp. I still play my old FF games from the GB Brick era, some of my old Pokemon games and Tetris.

Color me unimpressed. this is about as lame as the GBA micro.

harvest moon is my crack cocaine. karen is my bitch and she wants me so bad she wakes up in the morning with girl wood for her one and only... me. not being able to play that game on a ds would make me crazy sad

yea this was like when they had GBA and they came out with the SP.

 

nintendo always does this with their handhelds.

SP had the much needed backlight, this ain't got shit.

Back on the N64 version (best one imo) i had all 3 hussies strung along so they would stop by the Love Shack and shower me with gifts every day... only if that worked irl :<

i liked the ps1 version the best, and friends of mineral town is basically the same thing. i always go right for karen, you know she's a dirty girl. she likes wine and diamonds, she's probably wild in the sack
