So the question is, for 18900 yen (about $178), is this a new system, or an upgraded DS? That is, same games, or not... the other additions are obvious (and listed above), but this I'm not clear on... is it the same resolution? (3.25" screen instead of 3", but that doesn't mean the resolution is higher... the official site suggests that it is the same res, maybe...) Same CPUs? More powerful? Since it doesn't say it is my guess would be that it is not though I don't know for sure, but because of all the other additions, I'd still think that there would be exclusive games -- download stuff unless a plug-in solution is offered, anything that uses the camera, etc. I'll bet there will be games that require it (download games, things that use the camera, more if it's a fully new system), but... I don't know, I need more details.

Oh, and of course, I think that leaving out the GBA port is stupid. Who cares if it's 12% thinner? At that size, it makes no difference, and the GBA port is a great, great thing to have... it's not like that lets them take out any chips inside, the DS uses them. Annoying decision, really, and it's too bad that the rumors that it'd be left out are true. Oh well...
Oh yeah, another recent annoucement is Klonoa 3 for the Wii... awesome!
