Nintendo deems new DS 'rumor and speculation'

Nintendo has politely informed GamesIndustry.biz that claims of a new DS — one equipped with twice as many touch screens — fall under the nebulous and frenziedly debated category of "rumors and speculation." The story initially originated on Kotaku, which suggested that the new DS model would not be announced until early next year. More likely, you can expect to hear about it the day after Nintendo UK's David Yarnton pretends he's never heard of it.
