Next DS upgrade right around the corner in Japan
According to Nikkei, Japan’s largest business news source, the DS is getting another redesign in Japan, and it’s getting it soon. New features will include a built-in camera, music playback, and a stronger wireless range for connecting to “information terminals.”
What’s more, a screen cap of what appears to be an earlier version of the story (posted on a site called Monex) says the new model will also feature larger screens and the ability to transfer data from the Wii or an SD card. That version of the story story is not on Nikkei’s website, however, so take it with a grain of salt.
The print version of the story (not available online, but in the Nikkei Financial Daily newspaper) reports that the new DS will cost less than 20,000 yen (or $188 USD) and will launch some time this year.
