Nintendo has a new machine in their sleeves.
A machine wich will be innovative and new to the handheld market.
With this piece of hardware we can watch the gameplay from different angles and so on.

I expect it to have better graphics than the GBA, since the little machine has been out for years now.
What new innovative software are you expecting to appear on the market in November/December?
And what other enhancements do you want in terms of technical powers?
I would want to see bluetoth gaming implemented in the DS.
And also a harddisk to store media on.

No it isn't.

It's 64. Same as PS2. Xbox is 128, I think.

No it isn't. But it doesn't make any difference anyway, so muh.

Hang on, isn't the DS something stupidly high like 1 gigabit or something?

What does it even mean?

GBC is 8-bit I think. And GameCube is either 32 or 64; but it doesn't make any difference, does it?

In response to Dringo, these are the graphic powers of the machines (I think).

NES - 8 bit
SNES - 16 bit
N64 - 64 bit
GC - 128 bit

GB - 8 bit
GBC - 16 bit?
GBA/GBA SP - 32 Bit

Well i've always been up for the idea that their newest handheld console would have as much power and graphics as the N64, with a 64bit colour palette instead of the SNES' 32bit, so it would be 3Dish.
