Is that the sound of Nintendo Nitro?
An interesting, and potentially very revealing, update has just been made to Nintendo of America's website for developers.
Sitting right in the middle of links for the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube, is a new section labelled 'Nitro'. It's pretty clear that this is the third pillar system known previously as the Nintendo DS, but is this our first-ever hint towards the unit's final name, or is it just an internal codename? Could we really be rushing to buy a dual-screened Nintendo Nitro before the end of the year?
E3 just can't come soon enough...
UPDATE: Nintendo has edited its developer web site since this morning, changing the “Nintendo Nitro” section to the product’s previously announced codename, “Nintendo DS”. Nintendo Nitro is likely an outdated or alternative name Nintendo dropped in favor of the more descriptive Nintendo DS.
