GameSpy has learned the very first concrete details regarding the brand new gaming system from Nintendo. Known as the Nintendo DS -- or Dual Screen -- this new piece of hardware is all set to be officially unveiled for the first time at E3 in Los Angeles later in the year. Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata has addressed Japanese newspapers and press a few times in the last couple of weeks regarding the mystery machine. But finally, here's the full scoop:
An unprecedented approach to video game play-holding two separate game screens in the palm of your hands - hits the scene later this year when Nintendo introduces a new portable game system, code-named Nintendo DS. From information made available today, players can look forward to being able to simultaneously manage their game progress from two different perspectives, enhancing both the speed and strategy of the challenge. For example, players will no longer be forced to interrupt game play to shift perspective, such as moving from a wide shot to a close up, or alternating between a character's ongoing battle and a map of their environment. Nintendo DS makes it possible to perform the tasks in real time by simply glancing from one screen to the other. Today's announcement is but a glimpse of the additional features and benefits that will be shown in full at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles in May. Once fully revealed, players will see innovative advances in game interaction.
