What feature would you add/change/remove? I'd like maybe a whole new style, like that DS that has been shown on YouTube that everyone says is fake. I mean, that DS needs adjustments too, i.e. the screen is so thin it could break, etc. But a new design would be cool. How abotu you guys?

Maybe if the second screen could flip down or inward when not using it (when playing gba games). And maybe add motion sensoring like with the i phone (and this would work better if the second screen could flap down). And I wish developers would find better uses for the microphone. ALthough I can't blame them either cause either way I feel rediculous spitting/blowing into the mic. I haven't really had a chance to test it with conversations though. But this is all hypothetical right?

Nothing

It's one of the most perfectly designed pieces of electronics I've ever had the pleasure of using.

The only thing I probably would add was to make pictochat wificompatible. I've heard people talking about this before and I think it would be cool to have a aim like system on your ds :3. I also think that it would be cool to be able to draw in colors in pictochat...Oh and maybe make the homescreen a little more streamline and modern looking.

It is a great system and probably my favourite system (other than the SNES of course). All I would change would be ditch the friend codes (although its not as bad on DS as it is on wii) and make it so all the things you can do in local wireless could be done over wi-fi.

I would make it so the Lite can fit the GBA games without sticking out the bottom. Not a big deal but still slightly annoying that it doesn't fit. Secondly, have a set gamertag so you can have a friendslist.

I agree. I'd want bigger screens and better graphics. Also, maybe a plug near the D-pad so you could a use a removable analog stick.

Kidding aside, I prefer the DS's ability to fold down when not in use to protect the screen. More importantly, I love the dual screens. I find the touch screen functionality in most games to be superb. I just wish the screens were a little bigger.

- One larger screen

The dual screens aren't necessary. Not only is the game smaller, but the touch screen only serves usually as a map or something that could be toggled just on one screen. We can keep the touch screen capability but they should have not added that top screen.

- Better 3D

This is a no-brainer. The 3D on the DS and on the PSP aren't comparable. The technology is there Nintendo somehow didn't work hard enough on it. Nobody's asking them to be just as good as Sony but they can't just go all blah on this issue.

- thumbstick

3D isn't easy with a D-pad.

- Online Pictochat

I'm sorry, but Pictochat is just ridiculous. Let's all sit together and chat on our DS! What's the point? I'd rather there be online chatrooms and instant messaging.

- DS Internet

- A DS digital photo/video camera accessory.

- Movies and MP3's downloading.

of course, these are really my suggestion for Nintendo's next-gen handheld. The DS just wasn't that great. I'm hoping they'll take these suggestions to heart maybe.

Self-defeating? One screen wasn't self-defeating for the GBA. What does that even mean? Having 2 screens serves little real purpose. No I am not bashing Nintendo but I don't think I should have to worship at their every decision to post here.

I'd put a button to change the light level while playing. Also, I like the feel of the ds lite's d pad, but it isn't responsive enough in certain games.

Also should have

DS menu updates using wifi

Pictochat wifi, voice chat in pictochat too

An anolog stick could be cool, one thats in the ds, you

push the top and it comes out, push it straight back in when you're done

Louder sound

A game pack that will fit completely in the DSL you can put music and other stuff on, and downloadable software from wifi that'll let you use it

3 screens

bah.. you are only naming a lot of unnecesary stuff.. they are not going to remake the ds for those features.. and about the clip-clap ds.. isn't that making the ds to large ? and if I think what you are thinking your touchscreen would be rather exposed. and louder sound ? are you deaf or something ? even when a little bit slided it's making a decibels that brings me to another point I just thought of something that would be handy.. I hear a lot of people complaining about it.. a wheel in stead of a slider for the sound it's really hard to get the ideal volume this way, it's either too loud or too soft. just my cent..

Agreed. Especially on the gamertag thing. Obviously if we are talking about a new DS then we wont get that but if we are talking about a brand new system that is a sequel to the DS they have to make set gamertags.

I absolutely agree. And thanks for bringing that up. I should have thought of it sooner.
