Nifty design, but I see a couple potential problems.
- The buttons/D-pad would have to be flush with the edge to slide underneath. So maybe you could add a slight inset area in your mockup (similar to the DS lite)
- Can't use face buttons/D-pad in widescreen mode. I hope Nintendo doesn't do away with widescreen traditional gaming.
- The DS 'stereo' sound doesn't really work with that design.
Also, since this is a Nintendo portable, so I don't see certain features happening:
- USB 2.0 & SD card slot. Needless hardware expense that could be replaced by a Wii channel to perform these functions.
- GBA cartridge slot. Time to move on... (to re-buying your games through the VC)
- Logo looks too religious =)
