Nintendo in slightly smaller redesign frenzy

So you'll have all seen this picture by now, the forthcoming DS redesign, that will see the console shed 20% of it's weight, and shave off about a centimeter around the edges. We here at GameOverYeah are all for making things smaller and lighter, but it doesn't really seem enough to us. Okay the 'Lite' thing is quite good, allowing the backlight to have four different settings, but I'm more than happy with two settings, ON and OFF. But it looks very similar to the old Nintendo DS, after a new years resolution.

One of the things that we love about the Nintendo DS is the fact you don't need to be precious about it. We're more than happy getting the old boy out in a skate-park, at a crowded football stadium, or during a happy slap. We don't really care if it's bulky frame gets a knock, because it can probably take it. and then some. I Hope this redesign retains some of this solid structure, and doesn't end up feeling like a flimsy piece of kit that needs to be played in an airtight vault. We don't want Nintendo fans feeling they can only play their handheld console on their own sofa, in front of the telly.

Still, white though, that's pretty nice.

Also, having looked at the picture some more, why is the stylus so fucking long. I hope they aren't changing the size of it, I like the small one that can be tucked away in the corner of my fat hand while I use the dpad and buttons. The long Nintendogs Stylus indicated that long pen size ones aren't ver nice, it makes it feel like I'm back at school, writing essays, getting bullied and trying to look at the girls playing netball.
