New Nintendo DS To Get Camera & Music Playback
The DS is already humongously popular but Nintendo could be upping their game and taking the console in new directions when they roll out a new version later this year with an in-built camera and music player. This is not confirmed, of course, but the source is the Nikkei newspaper in Japan which makes their predictions a little more credible than Joe Bloggs in his basement with too much coffee and a vivid imagination. Apparently the device will not be the one with the expected dual-touchscreen coming in mid-2009 but the addition of the camera is expected to support ‘new types of games’. The device will come in under 20,000 yen - a few thousand more than the current DS Lite but still highly affordable. The addition of music playback is also interesting and begs the question if the new model will come with some decent internal memory or an SD Card slot? The SD Card slot looks most likely though. The wireless capabilities are also expected to be beefed up and it will have a larger screen. It will, typically, come out in Japan first but let’s hope the delay in getting it here will be short.-Martin Lynch [Nikkei Net -subscription required - via Neogaf & Kotaku) Nintendo DS console
