It's coming out in Japan on March 2nd for about $145 (as compared to $130 for the original model).  No announcement about when it comes stateside or to Europe.

I think Nintendo is on a binge trying to emulate Apple's designs.

Yeah, it is very very white and, I think, rather boring. In my mind the old one looked better.

I wonder what it would be like to be in your mind.

But i personally don't like this one as much.
I would ned to see it more to make a real opinion.

Better than the original.
Would have preferred black.
Still looks odd with two screens.

THE NEW NINTENDO DS!*









*Now with only one(1) screen.

Matches the Revolution.  Sucks that I just got my DS, but as long as they don't change anything important for the new model, I don't care.  If it has better WiFi range, I'll care.

I wish they had made it a little less angular.  The current DS model hurts my hands if I play an action game too much. :-/

::EDIT::
I think this model looks really nice.  I agree that Nintendo is kind of stealing from Mac for their designs, but I also think of Nintendo as the Mac of the gaming world.

- Mac makes more durable stuff than Microsoft.  So does Nintendo.

- Macs are extremely easy to use.  So are Nintendo systems.

- Mac's designs are simple and (IMO) functional.  Same with Nintendo.

- The only difference is Nintendo has reasonable prices.  Mac does not.

I think you get the picture. ;)

I believe the smaller size will dimish the effects of the angles on your hands. This is just a conjecture, though. I think it is nice looking. A black one would be nicer though.

Looks kind of remind me of the revolution controller.
Probably going to have to see one in person, but I will still probably get one. Then again, I might wait until they throw a different color out that I like. (and you know they will)

Are these pictures or drawings?  They look like drawings to me, but everyone else is talking like they are pictures.

I think Nintendo needs to stop re-releasing their old stuff and start focusing on making something new.  We don't need three different kinds of Gameboy Advanceds, and two DS's.
