Nintendo DS successor

The Nintendo DS successor (unofficial name) is the handheld console that is set to succeed the Nitnendo DS line of systems (which also include the DS Lite, Nintendo DSi, and Nintendo DSi XL). Nintendo has confiremd virtually nothing about the system save for the fact that it is in development. Nonetheless, rumors have spread in regards to the features that the DS's successor will have.

Rumored features

 * According to developers at GDC 2010, the system will have two screens, similar to the Nintendo DS. One of the criticisms of the original system is the gap between the two screens, which will supposedly be nonexistent in the Nintendo DS's successor. If true, this will allow developers to make games using one massive screen while also making games that span two screens sans the gap. The gap on the original DS would commonly effect the gameplay in titles such as Yoshi's Island DS because objects would sometimes get "stuck" in between the gap, making it invisible to the player.
 * Many developers, all anonymous, have stated that the next DS will have an accelerometer similar to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Some developers have even stated that the technology is much better than the one present in Apple's devices. The Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan's biggest newspapers, has stated that Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, has confirmed to them that the successor to the DS would have an accelerometer. Iwata subsequently denied that he stated such things while the newspaper responded that he did.
