The Nintendo DS Revealed!
-05/11/04-
The next Nintendo console is causing a lot of talk, and for good reason. The Nintendo DS (stands for dual screen) is Nintendo's newest handheld system, that uses two screens. With this year's E3 upon us, Nintendo finally revealed what the console looks like. The idea is that with two screens, you get two different perspectives of the game at once. For example, in Mario Kart, you can view yourself driving the kart in one screen, while another screen shows the map.
Other key features include a touch screen input, voice recognition, and wireless communication. Very unique features indeed. Also, Nintendo DS will support GBA games, there are dual slots, one for GBA games and one for DS games.
Nintendo DS versus Sony's PSP
The Nintendo DS will be up against Sony's PSP (stands for Playstation Portable) handheld. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, whose creations include Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong, speaks about the PSP and the Nintendo DS:
"The PSP will not be able to display anything that you cannot do on a current system... we want to do things that you could not do before. We are looking at the creative end," -Shigeru Miyamoto
