New DS unveiled!
UH, NOT.
Nintendo of Europe have officially stomped upon the idea that a DS redesign would be shown this week, labeling previous reports as "pure rumour and speculation". Note the added "u" in "rumour", which clearly indicates that this news comes directly from the European Nintendo and not, for example, Nintendo of Guam. We just don't trust those guys.
Of course, this doesn't mean that a DS redesign isn't still in the works. If you recall correctly, the DS has already been spruced up once before, marking for a big improvement over the clunky model first seen at E3 2004 (as shown above). In addition, The Reggie has previously stated that a flashier DS would reach our sweaty hands eventually - this denial only stems from the fact that we were expecting it to arrive a little too soon. My prediction is that we'll see the new DS at this year's E3, complete with Revolution communication and matching aesthetics.
What are your expectations? Are you disappointed or relieved?
