In fact, I do have something that I would like you to translate. http://wiinintendo.net/2008/09/23/animal-crossing-city-folk-has-some-motion-control-after-all/ At the link above, there are scans regarding Animal Crossing: City Folk. They mention some motion control, but if you could tell me exactly what parts of the game use motion control, that would be awesome. Thanks! @gypsyOtoko: Awesome, thank you.

I hadn't seen anything anywhere with an actual translation of the article aside from the major points, which is why I posted it. If you guys ever find something you want translated, just post it and I'll be here. ^^ @DarkWish:

But technically yes, you should be able to do that. @mazer: The only thing it says is that it’ll have a SD card slot, so that way you can take data and exchange between the two.

However, I don't exactly get the most money so I can't get everything I want. The choice was between a DS Lite and a few new games, and since my DS wasn't broken or anything I chose to get some games and hold off on the DS Lite. Besides, my sisters later got a DS Lite, so I can play that every now and then. Having said that, I don't have as much of an issue buying games anymore due to money, so this new DS is definitely something I'm going to get. @Lewis: Make no mistake, I would have loved to own a DS Lite when it came out.

the music playback is great they should include a sd card slot and basiclaly alllow mp3 playback as well

they should also allow pictures an older man of about 50 60 came to my store and bought a psp justb/c he could carry his pictures on it so this is something they shoudl look in to

uhh well obviously its going to have a camera so it should be able to store photos

hopefully the camera is @least 5MP

they shoudl look into to video playback

More integration. Also, with the digital photo print channel in Japan, this makes sense. (think of the router they just announced...they want more people to get online with Wii and DS). Also, games could use the camera or you could use it for video conversations (with other DS users or computers?). - Increased Wi-Fi is a great addition! I can only see benefits to this, especially after hearing Nintendo's thoughts of where DS could go in the future (airports, baseball games, etc.). - Music playback is interesting actually. I'm not sure if this in response to the PSP sales going up (cause it can play media) or not, but I'm definitely intrigued by the many possibilities this could bring to the DS. - All the other things that weren't confirmed by Nikkei seem to be good additions, especially the larger screens. However, I'm not sure why they are doing this now, even after several have stated there is no need for a redesign, given that the current model is still selling remarkably well. Though, it does sound like a great deal, and I will be VERY tempted to buy one if it comes stateside. I just hope I find out soon, so I know whether to get my fiance a DS Lite or wait for this new version (and either give her mine or get 2 new ones). Here's to hoping Nintendo addresses this soon...perhaps at the conference this week! :-) Here are my thoughts…
