http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/thumb160x_ds-2.jpgThe DS 2 (not to be confused with the XL (http://gizmodo.com/5411672/inside-nintendos-dsi-ll), which only ate a super mushroom), is reportedly alive and kicking, with developers now testing the motion-sensing console (http://gizmodo.com/5441263/next+gen-nintendo-ds-will-have-some-kind-of-motion-detection)—but it won't be ready in time for GDC in March.
CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=235077?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-General-RSS) spoke to a developer at one of the studios that's been lucky enough to receive the early prototype, and apparently it's already making waves there:
"It's genuinely the best thing I think I've ever worked with, I can tell you that it's got a 'tilt' function that's not dissimilar to iPhone, but does a lot more. We know that The Pokemon Company are getting special attention with it."
The Pokemon Company is a a division of Nintendo that handles marketing and licensing for Pokemon games—suggesting one of the launch titles that will take advantage of the HD screen (http://gizmodo.com/5441650/next-ds-to-have-hd-screen-potentially-720p) and motion-sensing (http://gizmodo.com/5441263/next+gen-nintendo-ds-will-have-some-kind-of-motion-detection) console will be a continuation of the Pokemon saga. It's been a while since I've checked in with Ash and Pikachu, but I'll definitely give it another spin if it's got some cool iPhone-like tilt control when battling.
