Top secret Nintendo DS/Nitro specs!

By Peter Rojas

We're not 100% these are legit, but someone just passed along to us what looks like a page from an internal Nintendo corporate document that shows the specs for their upcoming DS/Nitro portable game console.

There are no photos or sketches of what it's going to look like, but here's what we've gleaned:

  • Whether it's just an internal code-name or not, the new console is going by the name. "Nitro".

  • 4MB of RAM.

  • Confirmation that it will have a touchpanel (the big speculation is whether this will pull double duty
    as some sort of controller).

  • A 256x192 pixel, 262,144 color main LCD screen.

  • A built-in microphone.

  • The biggest scoop (again, assuming that these specs are for real) is that the Nitro is going
    to have WiFi rather than Bluetooth. Is there going to be some sort of online gaming service for the
    Nitro?
