New nintendo handheld rumor
« on: February 11, 2010, 10:21:20 PM »
   +-General.iNFORMATION
 
        Since Iwata-san broke his silence about his new baby today, we’d like
        to share with the world what we know about the project internally
        called ‘dawn’ or ‘dwn’. Last week we received information and a
        picture of one of their few prototypes being used for demo purposes
        right now. As we understand it, it will debut at E3 and it will NOT
        replace the current DS models.
 
    ____________________________________________________________________ _ _
   +-Further.FACTS     
 
        -amazingly sleek and lightweight
 
        -screen covers the whole system
 
        -bezel is made of frosted glass (works like Ambilight, but can be
         directly manipulated)
 
        -STUNNING display (custom AMOLED by Samsung)
 
        -no cartridge slot (either that's a dev only thingy or it's going to
         be a DD only system like the GO)
 
        -powered by a one-chip solution by nVidia
 
        -‚clicky’ digital stick and two unlabeled facebuttons which are placed
         above the screen; no other buttons; no 3.5 jack either; nothing!
 
        -same gyro as motion+
 
        -some kind of touchscreen, but from what we’ve heard it’s a joke - it’s
         so imprecise you can’t use it like a regular touchscreen
 
        -no audio output (yet)
 
        -mini USB
 
        -WLAN a/b/g/n
 
        -RFID reader (speculated)

I dunno what to think of this though.  If the touch screen is a joke what is the point?

It has been 6 years since the last new Nitnendo handheld debut.  So we up for a new handheld.  And the Nvidia on new Nintendo handheld has been around for a while now.

And?  The DS is still selling like crazy.  They have no reason to bring out a new model yet.  The original Gameboy didn't get a proper successor until nearly 10 years after its release.

Also Nintendo really hasn't been putting out many DS games recently.  They have probability moved development over.

In that case, the Wii 2 must only be weeks away.

Yeah there's alot of evidence/talk pointing to a new Nintendo handheld coming out. But THIS? This is a joke.

Is it wrong to think that mock-up looks neat? it's totally impractical, but still, something about off-shaped screens are cool.  I wanted to buy an expensive phone once because it had a circle screen.  Fuck squares.

I noticed the other day that pretty much everything man-made in this world is shaped like a rectangle. Checks, dollar bills, monitors, buildings, everything is rectangular. It's kind of weird.

"Oh, look at mah circle, it's so round!  Do you want to touch it?  It feels the same from all directions!".

You frickin' circle workshippers like to think everything is rainbows and unicorns, but bear in mind when things go to shit, it's rectangles that'll bail your asses out.

fact: rainbows are only half circles and contain more whimsy and charm than anything square.
fact: planets, suns and galaxies are round
fact: the best foods are round

circle uber alles

Squares might not be immediately visible in nature, but without them doing their silent part, nature would just be a collection of wonky lines and mis-shapen, inconsistent OVALS!

I want Nintendo to release a new handheld that isn't the DS2 or something, but I doubt that will ever happen.

I'll just keep dreaming for that third pillar :-*

Yeah, that's so weird. I saw a documentary about that. I didn't get it, but it was interesting.

That Dragon Quest strategy game is also supposed to be pretty good.
