Can someone enlighten me on this? I'm guessing you don't mean "new" as in new colors for the DS Lite...?

Nah, rumors are going around about a new DS model, which will be smaller, bigger screens, and will have no GBA slot, but internal memory.
Nintendo will more than likely announce it at E3.

Yea it sounded a bit wierd, smaller yet has a bigger screen? The DS lite has 'trouble' having the screen and the sound on a small block as it is.

Wow, looks like an outstanding combination of Advanced Adventure and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Very much looking foreward to pushing this into my DS Lite

I'll tell ya, I definitely can't wait for this!
Looks amazing and like it's gonna go back to the joyful slapstick spirit of the original Dragonball. And a combination of advanced adventure and Phantom hourglass sounds simply fantastic.

This probably being #1 on my top 10 list of games I'm looking forward to in 2008

Pretty damn sweet.

I always found it disheartening how little DB merchandise there was, given I've always preferred the mother series of the anime.

Liking the looks of this.

CGI nose-blood spurts must be worth a watch.

Why Is the DS In Z font?

Because it isn't not in Z font.

What I meant, Is that the DS in the title looks like the font used to write the title for DBZ. When the original DB title can be see next to it.

I think the DS is tacked on like the suffix-letter-things of Z/GT... so they made it look like the Z? As kind of a "it's as cool as a new series" thing?

... *cries at lack of DS/ability to play one if had it*

They can deny it all they want.
They denied the DS Lite THE DAY before it was confirmed.
Just wait 'till E3, the truth will be spoken then.

At this late in the cycle, I'd expect a new DS to be a whole new system with backwards compatibility to the DS. I mean the DS is coming on its fourth birthday, and we got the DS on the GBA's third birthday (GBA came out in 2001, DS in 2004, and the GB Color before the GBA was in 1998).

Anyways, this game looks fantastic, and I've always been a huge fan of early era Dragon Ball (I got into the series with the 1995 Pilaf saga dub). I never did get a chance at Advance Adventure, so I hope this gets a wider US release (and hopefully sooner too).

And the DS Lite in 2006. :3
Though other than the brighter/lighter aspects, I saw no need to get one. (Loves her shiny red original DS).

But yeah, it's been 2 to 3 years, it's time for a new "Gameboy".

Yes, I would have kept my silver 2004 DS when the Lite came out, but since the R button on the DS broke, and the Lite was the same price, I upgraded to a Lite at that time. As for a new system, it would kick ass if they brought the Game Boy name out of retirement.
