Not as sexy as the glamour shot... but it is a fascinating insight into the pro developer's world.

Just like that :)

Better than the dev boards we started with though which were exposed circuit boards with the buttons and screen integrated onto it.

I can't wait to see what will happen to the developers who leaked that if Nintendo ever finds out who did it :)

Here's what the GBA looked like in the state that Miked mentioned seeing the DS in: http://pocketmedia.ign.com/media/news/image/gbademo/entiresystem.jpg

It's funny how they were using a SNES game pad when there are no X and Y buttons on the system itself.

Finally, a real button configuration on the DS! w00t! :)

Yes, and notice that the buttons on the AGB circuit board are arranged in an X/Y/A/B pattern as well, but with no shoulder buttons...

#26555 - tepples - Sat Sep 18, 2004 2:03 pm

...and that an A/B/X/Y pattern is one of the wrong answers in a find-the-right-Game-Boy microgame in WarioWare...

When do devs get to use the new DS? I am thinking it will be sometime after Nintendo's press conference on October 7th.
