We’ve been hearing more rumblings about a new DS for over a year now.  Kotaku is now reporting that many ‘industry sources’ say Nintendo will announce a new DS early next year with 2 touch screens and slightly larger screens:

According to several industry sources outside of Nintendo, the company is working on an updated Nintendo DS. The screens are supposedly slightly bigger, but the biggest change is that the new DS will apparently have two touch screens — so it’s like a dual touch DS. That way, players can interact via the stylus with game play on both screens. Here’s the kicker: Word has it that this announcement, if true, won’t hit until early next year.

Two touch screens seems like a cool idea for the next DS, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of motion control built in as well.
