Looks like the full sequel to the Nintendo DS has been announced, bit of a shock to get this announced before E3.

Only a handful of details though, it will be completely compatible with previous games from the DS, offer 3D effects without glasses and will be released before March 2011.

If the rumors are true this thing uses Tegra 2 as well this could be very interesting but I'm still a bit sceptical of the 3D effects.

Yes this is all good news but...

Nintendo need to sort out their online offerings, there's no excuse if they release another console that features poor online capabilities like the DS and Wii.

Scrap game/console ID numbers, have a unified central user system for all games and consoles with chat and online vs.

Agreed, but personally I can't see Nintendo changing it. Guess we will see at E3 but I guess they will revamp the online in some way, I wouldn't put it past some sort of channels feature similar to the Wii.
