Nintendo plans to launch a new portable game player later this year, according to a company spokesperson.
The move will likely come at about the same time that Sony launches an assault on Nintendo's top position in the portable gaming sector with the release of its handheld PSP, or PlayStation Portable, device.
Few details of the player, called Nintendo DS (short for Nintendo Double Screen), have been released. However, the Kyoto-based company said the machine will have dual screens, each around 3-inches in size.
"The additional screen will expand the game experience and allow us to do things that have not been possible so far," the spokesperson says, adding that the company will provide more details at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) event scheduled to take place in Los Angeles from May 12 to May 14.
