This was from a magazine 5 years back when DS was still in development

Photobucket

Now, this would have been awesome, a little too much though.

That one with too many screens looks like a computer controll room. I could think of a few good game ideas that uses every screen, how about Security Guard DS?... no?... ya, I thought it sounded stupid too. Could that even be portable?

The first picture posted could well be some made up pictures by the editors of the magazine, nobody's gonna probably be excited by those photos, so i dont think Nintendo will release those kinda pictures out, yea?
And the 7screens and 8buttons are really stupid, it just seems like the magazine was trying to laugh at the idea of dual screens...

MagazineEditorA: I heard Nintendo is gonna come up with a Handheld with 2 screens.
MagazineEditorB: O RLY? 2 Screens? Might as well make one with 7! ROFL!
MagazineEditorC: Yea RLY! Maybe with 8 Buttons too!

xD

Anyway, if this were to really came out, i think Nintendo would probably be closed by now =/

It would have to be very thin to fold up. I think as thin as the macbook air maybe a little bigger. But pocket mode needs to fit into the pocket. lol. and there would need to be a locking mechanism, for the two sides.

*insert big ass picture here*

If you really think about it, that design isn't very practical. Firstly, if you wanna use both analogue and touch at the same time, once the spring starts coming loose for the two sides, it'll constantly close when you don't want it to. Secondly, there are no rubber pades on the analogue sides, so once you close it and place it on a hard surface, there's a possibility that it'll scratch. Also, to me it seems as though it would be akward to open it up from pocket mode to analogue. Finally, I would hardly call that pocket mode; it's way too fat.

it's wayy to bulky .... but still pretty cool....... and itz very unlikely that the next model of the DS is gonna be named "DS2"....

wow, that looks kinda sweet actually. I totally love how there's an analog stick on it. As I've said, that's one thing the DS is really missing. But hey, if only this were really true! I also really like the color options. Kinda reminds me of the Game Boy Pocket color palette. Remember those BBQ grill adds, haha?

i like the one with the caption: 2 screens means it has to be chubby...or whatever it said.

anyway, i like it cause the screens are closer together..that's one of my issues with the ds's design.
