I must say, it looks sleeker than it did :D

The new DS:

It is looking a lot nicer now :) More 'future proof' in ways, as it wont look as old as what the other design would have when its released. Either way looks like to be an exciting kinda toy to get a hold of :D

Now it looks almost exactly like those game/watch things from the 80's.

What happened to the Search feature? :P

I think the DS is going to be hot, especially since it's scheduled to be out in the US and Japan before the year is out. I just wish Nintendo would set an official price point for it. So far it's being speculated at 150 or 200 but nobody knows for sure.

Yeah, they'd better do some last minute additions to the DS *cough*analog stick*cough* or it's not going to be stunning, instead it'll be simply amazing.

The control pad on the current DS will probably be pressure sensitive, meaning if you press lightly the character will walk slowly and if you press hard the character will run.

But a real Anlog stick would be better than these things...
/me wants a analog stick for the real N64 fealing....

You probably won't notice much.

Plus an analog stick can get loose. With a console it's okay, you could simply get a new controller, but for a handheld it's not okay.

The only things I would want from the DS would be a bigger top screen and slighly improved graphics.

PSP seems pretty confident in their little slidey-analog-thingy, wonder how well it'll hold up.
