Nintendo's next handheld is drastically more powerful, and dev kits are in the wild.
Developers have their hands on the DS2, and the system could be unveiled at E3 2010, according to an anonymous source.
The source said that a developer is working on a title for the DS successor, which was billed as being much more powerful, and that the release date is set. When pressed, the developer only hinted at the fact that the system won't be announced at the Game Developer's Conference in March, but might be announced at E3 2010 in June.
All the recent rumors make this scenario very plausible, and there is a possibility that the DS2 could be hitting Japan before the year is out.
