First the Reggie let it slip that the little dual screen handheld that
could was being considered for a fabulous makeover, then Japanese
gaming mainstay Famitsu reiterated the idea. Now we have a rumor from
well-regarded video game importers Lik-Sang that we may be treated to
the new DS model as early as January 16th! They write, "... here at Lik
Sang too we have received word a couple of days ago from a Japanese
contact stating Nintendo will have a formal announcement of the
re-design on Jan 16th." We'll have to wait... five more days...
