More and more, the pieces are coming together.  All the rumours around about a new Nintendo platform are getting more real.  I still don't think it will be a DS2, but rather a new name altogether as a "3rd" pillar to the DS, as the DS winds down.  But here is the latest information:

Motion sensing handheld? Hell, I don't even like the touchscreen.

I don't know about you guys, but I think Dan is pretty excited about this news. Yep...pretty excited

This sounds like a horrible idea.

Interesting rumors.

Not crazy about the motion sensing I just hope it is comparable in power to the PSP and can work off of a cartridge or Memory Stick or something along those lines.

WiiP?

I'm still kind of scratching my head as to why I bought a DSi. I'm having the same problem with it that I had with the GBA. I almost never travel anymore, games are too expensive to buy without trying first (Sorry, dude, but $35 for a handheld game is outrageous, especially considering the fact that I buy the majority of my 360 games for $20), and when I'm home I'd rather play my home consoles. I bought GTA: Chinatown Wars back in November, and still have only played it for about 15 minutes total, despite the fact that I'm a huge fan of the GTA series. It's just not working out. Still, it's cool having a digital camera to play with, even if the quality isn't great. I can't say it's been a waste of money. It did help me get through one bad vacation.

I am the first and foremost advocator of motion controls on this board, and even I think the idea of a motion-controlled handheld completely ridiculous.

Yay! Now we can wave around like a madman on the buss, just what we always wanted. Thank you Nintendo!

CVG stating rumours as fact. K.

Interesting news. 
 
I wonder if Nintendo is going to add Achievements to any of their next systems, like the DS2?   Things like "Make Link's Spirit Train all Gold" would be an awesome Achievement and actually make me care about doing stuff like this. 
 
Heck, where are the Achievements / Trophies at for any handheld?

Yep, Wii Portable = WiiP™  (Nintendo will have to pay me for the name).  Come on, it sounds awesome. "

Wii P    Wait a second, say it to yourself exactly that way... WEE - P   Not a cool name dude lol.  I think Nintendo may have just outdone Apple on the stupid names for products list. "

" @AgentJ: Well, dude, I don't buy my games used. Ever. But man, games on 360 drop in price crazy quickly. Seriously, within 6 months, you're looking at a $20-30 price drop, and then another 6 months later and the game is only $20. That doesn't happen on Nintendo consoles. Heck, Mario Kart DS is still $35, man. Same goes for Wii. Unless it's a crappy game, or one that just sold incredibly poorly, it's still going to be full price, even years later. I got a DSi thinking I could catch up on old DS games I missed for really cheap. Man, that totally blew up in my face. Now just about every single one of those hit games is rare and you can find them on Amazon for a low price of around $80 minimum. You've got to be kidding me.   So yeah, that's what I meant, man. "

I WiiP at the lack of proper cited facts which have people excited.  Yeah I went there.
