It sounds like a great idea – an even less expensive Nintendo handheld than the brand new 2DS that was announced just last week. The new Nintendo 1DS is only $99, and it’s very portable . . . so portable it does away with the built-in second screen, yet it still runs all 3DS and most DS software titles. You can hook it up to an HDTV with the included HDMI songle, or clip on your Android or iOS smartphone to use as a second screen. An amazing concept, but you could tell it’s a fake when it says the HDMI dongle is included.
And that’s the fact. Sadly, it’s not real, but a beautifully executed parody website in Nintendo’s style, complete with links to the actual Nintendo web site. Whoever pulled this off, applause is in order. Maybe it will give Nintendo some ideas.
