It's nice but I'm not convinced. Could easily be made from SP pics. And I thought Nintendo said they weren't calling it a GameBoy.

Didn't it get a really stupid name like 'Nitro' or something? If so, why have 'DS' on it?

I can't see that being from Nintendo but I imagine it will look quite similar. Nice design... to look at, at least. Would like to hold it.

The top half is as ugly as fuck and horribly messy. I doubt Nintendo would include 4 fiddly buttons like that either.

It's for two players, standing perpendicular to one another, I'd assume.

Looks hella fake though - the cartridge slot at the bottom looks far too wide, like they've just stretched out a GBA SP...

Also, doesn't that speaker position mean your hands will kinda be covering them whilst you use it?

I would prefer if the screens where symmetrically aligned too.

how's it nice? (unless you're referring to the photoshop job)
the screens aren't aligned, which just looks wrong and the dpads are all over the place and how difficult would it be to move your thumb from the face buttons to the dpad above?
it looks shite if you ask me...

I'm fairly sure it's a fake. I've just done some photoshop experiements on it, and the D-Pad is a cloned and 'stretched' version of the one below.

The inset buttons are also 'clones'.

Of course, it could be an 'offical' mock-up using Photoshop, but one would assume they'd have a proper prototype to photograph.

Nice try, but its fake.

The speaker on the right is just copied and pasted from the speaker on the left. If you look closely you can see the colour doesnt quite match up, and the perspective is a bit off.
