According to this press release, Nintendo will be releasing a new portable gaming system with two 3" lcd screens and two processors.

... players can look forward to being able to manage their game progress from two different perspectives, enhancing both the speed and strategy of the challenge. ... Players will no longer be forced to interrupt game play to shift perspective, such as moving from a wide shot to a close up, or alternating between a character's ongoing battle and a map of the environment. Nintendo DS makes it possible to perform the tasks in real time by simply glancing from one screen to the other.

Will this go the way of the Virtual Boy?
