Yesterday, I came across this blog posting:
[link]
...and was somehow inspired to fire up Rhinoceros and design my own interpretation of what a re-designed nintendo DS would look like. Now, I don't own a DS. I don't even own any Nintendo anythings, but I have played my brothers' GBC's, and the occasional N64/GameCube game at friends' houses, and NES/SNES years ago. I've been more of a console gaming bystander than an active participant, up until I got a PS2 about a year ago. So, if you judge this, judge it as coming from someone with little to no experience.

Several of the major features I tried to incorporate into this design:
- Similar styling to the DS and other Nintendo handhelds
- Smaller size than the DS (it's about 2/3 as thick, and shallower, but about the same width)
- Flip-and-slide screen for single-screen GBA mode
- Identical screen size and spacing (required for Metroid Pinball)
- Nintendogs screenshots! (you know you like the husky)
- All DS features/ports/whatever (some I didn't model cause I was lazy, and the measurements are just close guesstimates based on pictures, but who cares, it's the equivalent of a refined 3D sketch)

Nintendo DS is a trademark of Nintendo, obviously. No infringement or anything is intended, I just wanted it to look semi-authentic. Oh yeah, Nintendo employees, if you come across this, and like it, please feel free to contact me, and we can work something out. :)

Comments are welcome, but I'm unlikely to work on this more (unless contacted by Nintendo) - I'm just glad I finally finished something after so long.

Modeled and rendered on 2005-11-15 over two days, with Rhinoceros 3D.

The touch screen is sunken in too far to be practical, but I love the design.

The only problem I see is that it'd leave the speakers exposed to water and such.

very good, but perhaps a black and white instead of a silvery grey?
