Just spotted this bit of Info over at Games Radar!
The exterior design of DS is yet to be finalised. Here's NGC's take on dual-screen goodness
Nintendo are masters of the unexpected, which makes our DS mock-up and childish attempts to think up dual-screened games a somewhat futile exercise. Trying to second guess the kind of software we'll be playing on DS is very difficult. Still, with a potentially radical piece of hardware like DS, you have to believe that Nintendo have something clever and innovative up their sleeves. Past experiences don't bode too well, though. If you take the Gamecube-GBA link as a single piece of hardware, Nintendo already have dual-screen system available and, with the exception of a few titles, it's produced nothing more than curiosities - non-essential map-screens and gameplay elements that do nowhere near as much to 'enhance gameplay' as Nintendo would have us believe. And of course there's the little matter of the Virtual Boy - a dual-screened 'new experience' that burnt Nintendo's fingers (not to mention our eye-sockets) ten years back.
Is this the face of Nintendo DS?
