There is no widescreen DS, NIS has confirmed to Joystiq. Talk of a new SKU sprang up (sort of) earlier this week after a Disgaea DS ad apparently showed a new model. It was a Photoshop, obviously.

“We placed screenshots on a DS backing to emphasize the platform, and edited them for effect,” said NIS’s Nao Zook. “These games are specifically for the current Nintendo DS, and as far as we know, there is no ‘widescreen DS’ in the works.”

End of.

Dood. Nintendo Power’s E3 issue shows what appears to be a widescreen DS in an advert for Disgaea DS and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure.

Putting two and two together to make 46, this could mean Nintendo is to show a new DS model at the LA show next week, as previously rumoured and denied. It could, of course, mean nothing of the sort.

Nintendo won’t comment on this, but we’ll ask anyway.

Thanks, Aeropause.
