New DS will only have one touch screen News

DS News by Ellie Gibson

2 October, 2008

Nintendo has confirmed to Eurogamer that the new DSi handheld will only have one touch screen - just like the DS Lite.

Our old friend Internet Reports has been up to his old tricks, spreading rumours that a second touch screen was mentioned in this morning's press conference.

LIES, says Nintendo, in a nice way. "As per the current DS model, DSi features one touch screen," a representative told us.

Still - both the screens will be bigger, as previously reported.

DSi will launch in Japan on November 1st, with a European launch to follow in the spring.

Take a peek at our gallery to see how it'll look.

Makes sense otherwise new games that support dual touch screens wouldn't be backwards compatible.

Let's face it, nobody is going to develop games that require the camera or an SD card. The existing installed userbase is far too large to ignore.

This could have been good for downloadable apps, but far from essential.

Why would it ever have 2? There's 1 stylus for 1 screen. I have a hand for holding the DS, and another for stylus use. 2 touch screens would be stupid.

Yeah like my car's got 3 pedals and I've got 2 feet. How stupid is that?
