Game Science has updated their site with a translation of the latest new from the Japanese video game magazine, Nintendo Dream. The article reveals quite a bit about what's coming up in Nintendo's future. Here are a few of the interesting pieces of information; check out Game Science's article for more.
- You'll be able to play Nintendo DS at E3. Also we'll be announcing a bunch of new titles for GC and GBA.
- There will also be a number of announcements of GC and GBA software before E3.
- NDS is such a completely different product to the GBA that it won't have an effect on GBA SP sales. The way to play NDS is fundamentally different, so it will give gamers a totally different kind of experience.
- The reason we are making the NDS is to give everyone a chance to try something new. We are confident that here at Nintendo we can continue to improve portable gaming.
- Miyamoto has received a request from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC to attend a panel discussion about "Video Games' Cultural Significance."

QuoteI don't know about that. Hopefully they are right; we all know how this (DS) will be perceived though.

I'm with you Kennyb. This is going to affect to affect sales of SP. I think Nintendo should just come out and say what they're thinking, though, "We already sold millions and everyone who wants an SP badly enough has one already." I guess they don't want to scare the johnny-come-latelys.

I second that, and I think this should have been obvious for all of us by now. To me it seems Nintendo's PR is one that is quite honest and means what it says, literally (which is a rare thing nowadays, and one of the things I really appreciate).
edit: stupid spelling
