Unfounded Rumor: DS2 Dev Kits Are In The Wild

More rumors are out there about the alleged new system Nintendo is going to unveil at GDC this year. This time French website GameKult is claiming that Developers already have the Dev Kits to develop for the new handheld.

Or at least that's what I'm told they are reporting, I don't read French, they could be talking about Taylor Swift eating a burrito all for I know.


Dev Kits are the equipment that game publishers use to make games for different systems.

Unfounded Rumor: New System to be Revealed At GDC

According to an anonymous source obtained by videogamer.com, Nintendo will be unveiling a new platform sat the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this year.

The source, an "employee at a major international publisher," says hay this new system is already being developed for.

Of course, there is no detail of whether this would be yet another handheld or a new console. This could possibly be the often predicted WiiHD. Nintendo representatives have said in the past that just adding HD to the current version of the Wii would not be enough.

Look at the difference between the DS lite and the DSi. Adding HD and maybe a little more data storage to the Wii would be a much bigger upgrade than the DSi was.

GDC is scheduled to start March 9th.

At any rate this is just a rumor that will probably bear no truth.
