Here are but some tidbits that unraveled at the San Francisco event pertaining to Nintendo’s said new handheld:
- The new system features a dual screen, typical and characteristic of the original DS unit. However, the main difference is that the gap between the two screens are almost negligible, to the point that the user can use it as one big screen. It is also said to feature bigger and higher resolution.
- DS2 will feature an accelerometer.
- The dev kit is designed to be similar in power to the GameCube. As you may have already heard, the new DS is rumored to have an Nvidia Tegra chip.
- An E3 2010 announcement and a late 2010 release is possible.
That’s what we have so far right now, but it sure only teases the appetite some more for it. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on any more details regarding the DS2.
