More rumors have surfaced that point towards a new hardware announcement from Nintendo that could possibly happen at the next GDC.

Earlier this month there were rumors floating around that Nintendo was poised to make a new hardware announcement. Many people believed this could possibly be the long hoped for Nintendo Wii HD but we are now seeing rumors that it will instead be a new version of the Nintendo DS. Nintendo Everything has posted a couple sources on their site that Nintendo DS 2 dev kits have actually gone out to developers and they expect to hear an announcement as soon as this year's GDC or possibly at E3. They also go on to say they believe that the new hardware could be released this year. This is all just rumors at this point so check back to see if or when we hear more from the always tight lipped Nintendo.

The DS has been around for quite a few years now so I wouldn't be surprised to hear they are working on the DS 2 or whatever it would be called. Nintendo has always dominated the handheld market so expect whatever they finally replace the DS with will fly off store shelves.
