Nintendo has announced today that its Nintendo DS system unveiled at E3 this year under the "Nintendo DS" working title is to be officially named... Nintendo DS. News on the christening comes as the company gears up to launch the handheld later in the year in the US and Japan, with Europe still having to wait till early 2005 for its arrival.[br]Announcing the official product name for the DS, Nintendo has also revealed that the system has undergone a slight redesign to "sport a slimmer, shaper look" (check the screenshots on this page), and it's a sexy little number to be sure. Going into the nitty gritty, it features a thinner, black base and an angular platinum flip-top cover, face buttons and shoulder buttons have been enlarged and "some have been reconfigured for optimum use," says Nintendo.[br][br]DS redesigned also includes a new storage slot for the touch screen's stylus and the speakers now broadcast in stereo sound, "with or without headphones".[br][br]Spouting numbers, Nintendo says that over 120 games are currently in development for the dual-screen system, 20-plus of which are Nintendo-developed first-party affairs. Over 100 companies have jumped onto the DS wagon to create titles for the handheld.[br][br]Launch date, pricing and launch game line-up announcements for Nintendo DS are expected at a later date.[br][br]Check out the great new screenshots at this Nintendo DS Screenshots Page
