hey guys what is up it's Duncan and Stan here with a video on the next-generation Nintendo DS well we'll just be calling it the ds2 although I'm sure they'll have a better name for than that of course the DX came out quite a few years ago and although they've freshed it with a ton they brush refreshed it with the DS Lite the DSi and now the DSi XL is still all of them are fundamentally the same sort of system they all have the same specs might play the same games but well a lot of the rumors are now saying that we might be to having one as soon as the end of this year so I'm going to go ahead and go over everything we know and everything we expect out of the ds2 anyway let's get this one started okay guys so the first thing we've always a go at is the touch screens and yes I think there's going to be two touch screens as opposed to the single one on the original DS now of course when the original DS came out he was a really big deal okay he went from a Game Boy Advance with just a single obviously non-touchscreen - also you have two screens one of which was a touch screen that was a really cool thing where you had the stylus and you know you could do all kinds of stuff so they had the microphone as well so it was a lot of really cool things and obviously if the D s have been tremendously successful so expected they will bring over a lot of the features I think that they will still have two screens I'm not sure one of both will be touch screens at least the bottom one will definitely stay at the touch screen who wouldn't be spreads the top one is also a touch screen I think the screens will get larger I think instead of the 4 by 3 ratio they're going to be more like widescreen not only sure how big they're going to be probably about the same size make it just a little bit larger than the standard DS or rather the standard DSi one really cool thing I expect though is that the next D s is going to have much better graphics we've heard a lot about the NVIDIA Tegra chip which is just it seems like it's going to be going everything from you know netbooks to cell phones - I mean game systems and everything and it sounds like it's also going to be going into the next ds2 so the NVIDIA Tegra chip actually has a lot of power and it can actually run high-definition video and some pretty graphically intense games so I think you'd be a perfect fit for the next DS some other things are that I expect that the DES is going to stay mostly the same it's not it's going to I believe it's going to keep the same folding design two screens although of course they will probably be a little bit larger probably two speakers still a microphone and of course at least one maybe two touch screens what I actually think they might get rid of though is the stylus if once they change because right now the D s has a resistive touch screen which is you know the kind of squishing one that you know has been around for a long time well now that things are going to change from resistive two capacitive capacitive is a little bit different it's kind of like on an iPhone or a lot of modern cell phones and it's actually as solid it's you know you touch it it doesn't I mean it feels like you're basically touching absoulte piece of glass and it works with your finger I think working with your finger I think I don't be really cool for the DS I know a lot of the games use the stylus and everything but I think it's going to add a whole new level of interactive this when you guys should have your finger and you can draw stuff I think it'll make it a little bit more fun another thing is that we believe it's going to have an accelerometer just like again from the iPhone and iPod Touch so you can actually take your D s and tilt it as you play as well as you know touching the touchscreen and you know they can do a lot of really creative things with it so that's most of the things I know of there's a few other things such as maybe like you know actually going more towards digital downloads like the PSP go and somewhat the DSi I wouldn't doubt that they have at least expand the DSi the online store or you can actually download a lot of games kind of similar to iPhone apps you know for quite a bit cheaper than normal maybe like five ten dollars and you know actually be able to play it but no more of kind of like a short game not not like a full long you know really long games you know you would buy actually at the store I don't think they're going to be getting rid of the cartridge format they might change it up I wouldn't be surprised if the cartridges get smaller maybe or they you know they change up a little bit but I think that it's still going to be mostly the same I wouldn't be surprised if it has D s if you can go ahead and plug in your old D s cards into the second the D s to see you guys that is my roundup of just about everything we've heard it sounds like a lot of game developers you know they're kind of being quiet about it but they're pretty much saying that they're already working on games for it and the games will probably be ready towards the end of the year so if that's the case and of course it does sound like it is they're more probably looking for a sort of like a fall winter release date probably just in time for the holiday season and but we also will probably have an unveiling and they'll actually Nintendo will show it off for us sometime maybe in the summer maybe during a June at the e3 conference who knows so of course guys there's not these are rumors we don't have anything concrete yet but it sounds like the next es is actually well on its way and it could be here you know within just a few short months anyway guys thanks for watching
