I hope they do bring it out in the future a true next gen gameboy that will probably be as strong as the xbox or a lil better or at least an dreamcast lol maybe not that far but obviously it would mean stronger than the psp!!

Their next handheld should be with similar graphics to the Gamecube. The DS is very similar to Nintendo 64

OG Gameboy owner, SML and Tetris were too good :thumbup:

DS as a 'third pillar'....

That's the same as Kutaragi saying the PS1 and PS2 can 'co-exist' :rofl: DS was a business tactic from Nintendo, if it tanked then they would've rolled out a GBA2 to compete with PSP's specs. Fortunately, DS not only succeeded, it skyrocketed, and thus GBA2 is no longer necessary.

GB will always remain a legend, but DS truly is the future

The DS is the perfect combo of price, innovation and power. Its all in balance. With future technologies, and prces dropping, however, I doubt you will need 2 screens to pull off what the DS does. So, I kinda think the "DS" might get dropped by the next iteration. I do think that the touch screen is here to stay tho. I think a worthy follow up to the DS and the gameboy would be a device with all the buttons of the DS, and 1 huge touch screen. It would need to be even bigger than the psp screen, and more powerful than the psp itself. Stick with cart based technlogies for speed and battery life. If they changed the acronym to "TS" (Touch Screen) it would still remind people of the "DS," AND they could bring back the gameboy name, effectively combining the two. "Gameboy TS." The one issue is that you would need the one huge screen to fit both ds screens for much needed backwards compatibility. Throw in the mic and some new built in features like gyro and/or rumble, and you would have one awesome gaming device on your hands (pun intended). If nintendo could do all that with a compact size and great price point, well, you know what would happen.
