GC/GNEWS/TFF : Tegra for the Next Nintendo DS?

December 5th, 2009 Jithin Rao No comments

nVidia has disclosed that they have come to deal with Nintendo in getting the next gen Nintendo DS to have Tegra in it. As Tegra has claimed to be the next wave in handheld console gaming, as said by the nVidia CEO, seems to get the Big Fish in the league, but Nintendo is yet to disclose on it. Until Nintendo says so, I am not gonna, you know, expect this. It’s NINTENDO, they do anything, and they do it own their WILL! They had once upon a time refused to use the Compact Disc Technology from Sony, later adapted it for Wii.

So it’s not easy to convince Nintendo like that. Let’s see whether nVidia has been able to convince Nintendo or not. According to me, Nintendo should be doing it, we need to see a platform (handheld) to compete with sony so that the market improves.

Right now, DS is lagging only with the quality on visual experience, and Tegra can enhance it, a new feature addition may or may not enhance but the thinking of the possibilities of games like God Of War for a handheld like DS with the innovative hardware features like mic and touch plus a competitive graphics processor can really push the user experience to a different envelope, provided the game developers exploit it.

Well, I am not that old enough to give a suggestion to Nintendo, they know the market too well and they know to how to get people buy their hardware and their games as well, hope they will do something I would like to see them doing.
