Nintendo DS final name becomes....

... The Nintendo DS! Nintendo has just released the official name for their new handheld and also threw in some extra info, like images of the final design...

Nintendo DS, originally chosen as the code name, has been selected as the official product name. The Nintendo DS name evokes the idea of a portable system with "dual screens," providing the rationale for the final name. The hardware also has been redesigned to sport a slimmer, sharper look. The retooled Nintendo DS features a thinner, black base and an angular platinum flip-top cover. The face buttons and shoulder buttons are larger, and some have been reconfigured for optimum use. The unit includes a new storage slot for the touch screen's stylus, and the speakers now broadcast in stereo sound, with or without headphones.

Software companies worldwide have more than 120 Nintendo DS games in development. Nintendo alone is developing more than 20 titles, and in excess of 100 companies have signed on to create games for the new system.

I want the orange one! They did this with the original GBA- showed us the colourful ones, then we got the rubbish colours. I want the orange one Marko Hein has (See NGC TV to see)
