Nintendo rep says the upcoming handheld will have a "secret" port and
will likely come in different colors.
TOKYO--In the latest issue of Nintendo Dream magazine, Nintendo
spokesman Mitsuaki Hagishima revealed that there is a secret on the
Nintendo DS' hardware. Located on the bottom-right side of the
handheld, next to the earphone plug, is a square hole for which
Nintendo has not given any explanation.

"There's a little secret to this [hole]," comments Hagiwara in the
magazine. "It looks as though you can plug something in there, but the
stylus pen is going to be connected to the back [of the handheld],
so…we'll reveal more in the future."

Hagiwara also commented that Nintendo is currently considering the
release of different color variations on the Nintendo DS, which would
be similar to how the company has released different color models of
the Game Boy Advance and GBA SP.

"There's nothing specific decided about the coloring [of the DS],
except that it will be two-toned," says Hagiwara. "We released three
color variations when the GBA launched. We're still thinking about
what colors variations of the DS to release, but while taking into
consideration the production efficiency, we're thinking of releasing
colors that are popular throughout the world, since it will be
launched worldwide [at about the same time]."
