We’ve heard the rumors before. Nintendo has been planning on making a new Nintendo DS for quite some time. Now we’ve got yet another report that this will happen within the year. This information comes directly from Nikkei and the details sound pretty excellent. Apparently, the newer model will have a built in camera that will be used quite a bit in upcoming DS titles. The WiFi card will be revisited in an attempt to increase the range that the new Nintendo DS can offer. Apparently the estimated price for this system is $189, but then again nothing is confirmed.

It would be interesting to see how true this information is when we get closer to the end of the year.
