DS2 needs GPS and 3G

MCV Staff 17th March 2010 Business News

A DSiWare developer has suggested the next iteration of Nintendo’s DS would benefit from GPS and 3G connectivity.

Speaking to ONM, Nnooo Games’ creative director Nic Watt claimed these technologies would enable gamers to play online wherever you are”.

We would be able to add location-based features to games,” he added.

Rumours of a true successor to the Nintendo DS – as opposed to the DSi redesign – have ramped up over the last month or so after Japanese developers have claimed they are already working with a prototype of the new machine.

Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
