Topic: DS Redesign

[Edisim]

kurst, that's a nice design and decent drawing.. but you're handwriting sucks. nah, j/k. but get a better eraser..

the thing about the new design is that it looks really sharp and sophisticated now, so it doesn't really look like a toy / gaming platform anymore.. looks like a cross between a "game and watch" and shiny toaster/grill.. it looks like it should be more expensive now too.. hope that won't be the case of course..

/crazy on.
did someone say monorail?
...
"is there a chance the track could bend?"
"not a chance, my hindu friend."
"i've heard these things are awfully loud."
"it glides as softly as cloud."
"the ring came off this pudding can."
"use my pen knife, my good man."
mono..
oh wait. nevermind.
/crazy off.

well unfortunately looks of a system are becoming too big of an issue.  If nintedo really wants the ds to compete, they need to pimp it up a little bit, and they have done a great job of that

thanks about the design. i guess nintendo has to move on i guess, the world is changing...its strange the day i drew this pic and put it up on the web was the exact day they announced the final design, i had no idea...

I would like to know its exact length, however....keeping in mind they have enlarged the D-pad and face buttons (thank gawd), the redesign is looking the same length if not a bit shorter....

I meant bulkier in terms of look, not actual size.  Also, I said I like the fact they enlarged the buttons.  Looking at the new design again, it's not terrible (far from it).  The base where the d-pad, face buttons and touch screen look okay, but I really don't like the design of the flip-top cover.  Too curved and when closed, it makes it look bulky.

I'll stop my bitchin'.  The desigin won't stop me from buying one.  And my eyes are fine, thank you very much!

I think It looks sexy
Looks like a modernized GAW

I liked the old look but this much much better

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I see Nintendo's pushing that whole "we MADE it, so our name deserves to be in the title" deal again.

"Nintendo DS"
"Nintendo GAMECUBE"

This is in contrast to other simple brand name presentations like "Game Boy Advance" or "Game Boy" (not "Nintendo Game Boy Advance I'll kill you to death with such a long name"), "PS2," and "Xbox."

I agree it does look bulkier than the first version and i don't think you have the right to call him/her stupid captain pikpik!!!

Well we dont know the size yet. For all we know the Ds might be the size of a laptop!

Nintendo Exec.: Right we have had complaints about small screens and small buttons.
Nintendo Techy: I know! Lets make thebuttons the siz of fists! That will show them to not criticise our desibns
All: BWAHAHAHA

Oh.  Right.

I was testing you.

Looks like that post was deleted....and for good cause. It aint fair to call people "Stupid" based on their personal observations or opinions.

If they ask questions about what "mono" means, thats a different matter.
No, Im j/k.

About the dimensions guys, definitely check out the thread entitled...um, "Dimensions"....a forum user had a really great observation that makes the DS seemingly not much thicker than our beloved SPs....

[HAY GUYS MY UNCLE KNOWS MIYAMOTO OH NO I'M BANNED]

SORRY i didnt mean to call u stupid

[Gamebasher]

The Nintendo DS´ new sleek design is so good, that it will quite rapidly land the little handheld wonder at the top of the sales worldwide for handhelds, leaving the Sony PSP eating dirt by the roadside! I don´t hate Sony, mind, but Nintendo´s the King of videogaming, so they belong at the top!

Sony may claim to have made it cool to play games (actually it was SEGA with Sonic who originally made gaming cool in the eyes of people in the beginning of the Nineties, according to EDGE Magazine), but Nintendo makes it cool to own and show off a gameconsole, in particular their handheld ones! I am going to be so proud of my little NDS and it supercool touchscreen!

The DS needs BLAST PROCESSING to be "Sega cool"...

I like the newer design.  I love living 5 miles away from Redmond, Washington (Nintendo of America HQ) because I see the building like every day.  I'm a huge fan of Nintendo and I really think this DS idea should be a smash hit.
