Yes, the rumors of a new Nintendo handheld coming within the year are true. The details known so far: It'll be out by March 2011, will have true 3d graphics with no glasses, DS and DSi backwards compatibility, and for more info wait for E3.

I definitely think it's too soon. DSi buyers are getting completely ripped off, releasing a new system just two years after your last one is cruel. Sure, it's DSi backwards compatible, but still, that's just not right... I'm glad I didn't get a DSi.
Beyond that though, I'm very interested to see what the 3d looks like... oh yeah, and I want Virtual Boy Virtual Handheld on it, darnit! More people should play VB Wario Land!

Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine
Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch "Nintendo 3DS"(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.
"Nintendo 3DS"(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series", whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.
We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.
