Having dominated the console war between Playstation and Microsoft, Nintendo will release a new version of the ever so popular DS later this year in Japan. No definite word on what the improvements are, but some planned features include a camera function, music playback, and improved wireless capabilities.

Earlier this year, Nintendo projected hardware sales of its DS handheld system to total 28 million for the current fiscal year. While that can be considered a massively successful year, it is down slightly from the 30 million portable game players the company sold last year.

What to expect from the new DS

Today, Japanese news site Nikkei Net is reporting that the time has finally come for Nintendo to roll out another new DS, and that the system will arrive in Japan by the end of the year. Planned features for the unnamed DS revision include a camera function, music playback, and improved wireless capabilities. No mention was made of previously speculated upgrades like larger screens, enhanced memory, or a smaller size.
