The company has also announced an SD card for Wii, addressing some of the machine's memory issues. New Wii games announced include Punch Out and Dynasty Warriors.
The new DS will sport a larger screen, increased in size by 17%. As suggested in reports prior to Nintendo's announcements today, it will also offer a 3 megapixel camera and improved audio output.
Speaking at a Nintendo conference in Tokyo, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata also announced an SD card for DS and an online store for downloadable content.
He said, "We want everyone to have their own individual machine. For those households who already have a DS that they share among family members, I want them to have one for each member."
