Nintendo DS2 Gets Leaked Or You Could Always Buy an iPhone 4G Instead

Tweet

I’m not going to suggest how you should go about your business and/or your money but I really think that a Nintendo DS2 is not a must have gadget anymore. And since we’re at it, I have the same opinion about the PSP. Sure I’m not a kid anymore but I still play the occasional game but I use a mobile phone instead. Could you guess which one?

If you said Apple iPhone then you wouldn’t be wrong. But I’ll tell you that not only iPhones, or iPod touches for that matter, are great at playing games. In fact Android, webOS and Windows Phone 7 are, or will be just as good platforms to offer us all the games we could think about playing while on the go.

Sure your kids will probably want a Nintendo DSx or PSP before they’ll ask for a phone. But that’s where the iPod touch and the upcoming Zune HD2 come in so it will be really interesting to see if it’s really worth making portable gaming consoles anymore.

So what’s the deal with the DS2 you say? Well the device isn’t even official. We have the picture above to show you but that doesn’t necessarily mean the product is real. The DS2 will apparently offer two even bigger panels compared to the DSi XL and they will have an even bigger resolution. In fact they seem to be able to almost merge given their bigger size for certain games in which one could use a bigger screen for a better gaming experience.

The DS2 will also pack an accelerometer which is quite a popular feature these days. Furthermore it’s being said that the Nintendo DS2 will feature a NVIDIA Tegra chipset and that it should be arriving later this year. Should we assume that E3 will bring us the official D2 announcement?

Either way you could always go for the iPhone 4G this summer or wait for the first Windows Phone 7 handsets to hit stores this fall before you ask Santa for a brand new Nintendo DS2 this holiday season. What do you say?
