Now that we finally have confirmation a new Nintendo DS is on the way - with 3D no less! - we're also free to wonder what the new device might look like. And as mind-blowingly successful as Nintendo products have been, they've never exactly exuded sexiness.
Well, designer Mario Troise has a solution for old Ninty with this drop-dead gorgeous rendering of a possible DS that makes the line between the handheld's eponymous dual screens invisible. Sure, it's got a decidedly 'Macbook feel' to it - but is that really a bad thing?
As sleek as the concept is, it also contains some great ideas, like a 3D projecting screen that would allow you to interact with games in real space.
Now all someone needs to figure out is how to get Nintendo's designers to copy this model - unless, of course, they have something even more amazing up their sleeves.
