Nintendo has responded to an analyst's claims that it has completed work on a new version of its DS Lite handheld, maintaining that it is "rumour and speculation and we are not commenting further."

Evan Wilson, from Pacific Crest Securities, is quoted in a GameSpot report as saying that the new model was "thinner, has on-board storage, and larger screens," and would lose the GBA port to accommodate the changes.

The report continued that any new version of the hardware wouldn't be unveiled for some time, "until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies."

While Nintendo has a history of periodically refreshing its handheld consoles, such as the GameBoy Advance and also the DS, it's possible that a new edition may come as some point, but the company is refusing to be drawn further for now.

Wow... New NDS Lite. I hope, it connect in TV like slim PSP, much bigger screen & improve surround sound.

No! They can't! What about us with slot 2 cards? Even if they do, I'm sticking with my DS lite.

um...so did Sony about the new PSP. You seriously need to think other than what you are told by the media.

The media told you there is to be a new DS so, why should believe them? Same principle.

Well I new something like this would come about when they mentioned downloadable gameboy games and it seems that this new design might be what it's made for. The extra memory will come in handy for homebrew development and may mean we can improve upon current DS web browsers.
