28 Sep 08 New Nintendo DS in late 2008

According to reports made by the popular Japanese outlet Nikkei Net, there will be a new version of the Nintendo DS later this year. While the Pink Ribbon DS that we mentioned today is good for charity related to cancer reasearch, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table in terms of features – only a pink ribbon on the front cover.

Anyway, the new Nintendo DS will have two functions that haven’t been seen before in the portable gaming product: music playback (finally), a built-in camera, and lastly, a better set of wireless functions.

Some versions of the report indicate the improved wireless capabilities will allow the new DS to connect to “information terminals,” expanding the machine’s non-gaming features.

As for the price and locations of the release, expect a value in the $200 range and a “Japanese only” release, at least in the begining…
