The official name for the DS

Zelda DS
Mario DS
Metroid DS
Here they come!

And furthermore.

How typical of Nintendo.

Yeah, they sexed it up after the PSP out classed and out gamed them in every facet imaginable, but they didn't add an analog stick. Remember how ground breaking that thing was according to Nintendo in 96'? Apparently it's not going to be that important to play glorified ports of their old games that once couldn't be played without it. Maybe 18 months after it comes out they're going to realize it was a good idea and we'll get a DSSP, and then everyone will fork over another $200 to get the real deal that they were screwed out of in the first place.

Pfft.

Someday all the bull**** will come back and bite them in the ass for real, and I don't intend to be on the ship when it does.

Nintendo was one of my favorites when it came out. Atari got old. A similar pattern applies today. Nintendo got old.
