Update<\/strong>: Welcome StumbleUpon<\/a>ers. It’s crazy that this design is still getting interest after almost four years. You might also want to check out the 3D animation<\/a> someone put together a couple of years ago!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet another redesign. This one is obviously inspired by the (fairly) recently announced controller for the Nintendo Revolution.<\/p>\n

Less obviously, it’s also inspired by a really cool digital clock I used to have that would open in much the same way. It made a very satisfying “clik-clak” sound when opening or closing because the screen would sort of flick up and click into place.<\/p>\n

I’m fairly confident that this isn’t a plausible design for the next DS, but I think it looks pretty cool. It was also another opportunity to develop my digital art skills (design in Inkscape and touch-up in GIMP).<\/p>\n

I’ve got some sketches from different angles but they aren’t as interesting. I’m not sure if I will take the time to make them look all fancy and shiny as well. Check them out after the jump. <\/p>\n

Whenever playing games on the DS I feel like the shoulder buttons are too high, so I put them a little bit down the back of the unit. I wanted to make sure that the unit could be recharge while closed, so there is a hole in the top-left of the outside case so that the power cable socket is accessible. I’d probably put a rubber cover (like those used in mobile phones) over that.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: I know this is technically implausible, please don’t bother commenting just to point that out!<\/em><\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: Personally, I far prefer my iPod inspired redesign<\/a>. I think it looks better and is something they could actually make. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
