A New DS on the Way?

Another Nintendo DS redesign 'already done' says analyst - Joystiq
My brother also tells me this was mentioned in Game Informer. I was going to get a DS Lite, but if they're releasing this, I'll wait for it.

Allegedly, it will not include a GBA port, but will include memory inside the system. The system is said to be thinner in size and include larger screens.

Will this be the next Game Boy Micro? (Which I love. Back off, haters!)

I heard about this a while back. I doubt it's actually true, since they have no reason at all to change the current model.

No GBA port? That'd be a damn shame. Maybe they'll make the thing more comfortable to hold in exchange though.

I'm skeptical. Not that I don't think there will ever be another DS, but if there is, it will have a GBA port. What's this "on-board storage" they're talking about anyway? A place to put DS games? Because all game data is stored on the cards.

it could be like the microsd slot that DSes already have? I know stu uses his to emulate nes games and stuff

Yes, perhaps they are going to try and cater to the homebrew community? Either way, I'm happy with my DS Lite and would not think about getting a newer model.
