GristyMcFisty reports us that yesterday Nintendo has announced a new portable games console with two screens and two CPUs. The device, dubbed the "Nintendo DS" (Dual Screen), will have dual ARM-based processors and 1Gb (128MB) of RAM. According to The Register, the device will ship later this year. Nintendo will release more information about the device during the E3 show on 12-14 May in Los Angeles:
That's the venue at which Sony is expected to launch PSP, the giant's first attempt to extend the PlayStation brand into the mobile gaming market. The device is believed to be scheduled to ship in November. The two machines will not compete, Nintendo said. "We're not trying to take on PSP, because this machine will be completely different than anything that exists right now," said Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa, according to Reuters. |
