Did you guys read the news about the DS?

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that his company plans to roll out a series of "practical" DS functionalities which "will be useful in places like train stations, amusement parks or museums."

That's a little of it, but I was wondering, does it mean that there will be another remake of the DS?

I hope it is just services or peripherals... I don't want to be tempted into buying yet another handheld "upgrade".

Certainly sounds interesting though. It seems like it would be so obvious for a country like Japan, using more of the wi-fi capabilities and the portability of it... almost everyone over there has a DS it seems.

How would a DS be practical in an amusement park?

ive heard there already doing that at certain baseball stadiums, where you can order food from where your sitting with the DS. but you have to pay money to do that, and you can only do it while in the stadium (DUH).i think you pay and have to do the DS download thing on your DS, but i didnt hear anything about map of the stadium or anything.DarkFire716

I can just see it having city maps you scroll through with the touch screen, and mark certian places on the map. Nothing to useful for me to go out and buy another NDSWSGRandomPerson

Same here.

Wow I've quoted you a few times today.

It sounds interesting but it also sounds like it will end up being specific to Japan.Articuno76

Yeh, but if it's eventually released worldwide, Nintendo would take over the world! There wouldn't be any reason for ANYONE NOT to have a DS.

I'd imagine it would reach epidemic where carrying a DS would be mandatory or risk getting shot on site...*shivers*
