Nintendo Denies New DS Model

Ign reports: Nintendo Japan flat out denied today the possibility of a DS hardware revision for this year's E3.

In response to an inquiry from Japan's Yukan Fuji website about recent comments from Enterbrain president Hirokazu Hamamura regarding a possible redesign for the portable, Nintendo Japan's head of PR said, "We cannot comment on the specifics of what will be announced at E3, but at the very least there won't be anything like what Mr. Hamamura suggested, so would like to clearly deny this. We're having a hard time understanding what kind of evidence [Mr. Hamamura] had for saying this."

According to a Bloomberg report, Hamamura mentioned during a seminar on the 11th that, looking at historical context, it was possible that we would see a hardare revision for the DS at E3. Nintendo's PR department initially responded to Bloomberg by saying "At the present we cannot say anything."

The 2008 edition of Hamamura's annual seminar was presented to investors and mainstream press.

It wouldn't surprise me if they added new colors to the DS. But besides that I'm looking forward to the next handheld. Because yes, it's nice, but I think they could make the system run faster and increase the power it has. Oh, they also need to add a even brighter screen, so I can get a tan during the winter ;p

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno6d ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS6d ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen8d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

Infinite Space: The Story Of A Forgotten Space Opera And Sega's Negligence

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

ZeekQuattro16d ago

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol
