Re: Nintendo DSi

The specs for the new Nintendo DSi are announced: It eschews the GBA slot (boo!) in favour of a range of improvements. The handheld's screens have been enlarged, and will now be 17% bigger (at 3.25 inches) than those found on the DS Lite. As for the rumoured additions, both have proven to be correct, with "audio enhancements" made to the handheld, while it will also now include a 3 megapixel camera. "So the health of the DS continues to grow," said Iwata, "we are putting out this new version."

The Nintendo DSi can adjust pitch and playback, making it ideal for language study and listening to music. What's more, the DSi features an SD memory card slot, making it possible to take pictures with the DSi and then view them on the Nintendo Wii. The DSi features a built-in browers, and its possible to download games and keep them on the DSi. There is a DSi Shop, which users can download DSiWare from as well. Pricing categories for the DSiWare are: Free, 200 points, 500 points and "Premium" or 800 points. Customers will get 1000 free points to spend at the DSi Shop that are good until March 2010.

The portable is dated for November 1st in Japan and priced at ¥18,900 (US$179). It will be available in white and black.

and I JUST bought the Limited Edition Pokemon Diamond and Pearl DS Lite.
perhaps I will get this new one, and use the current one exclusively for pokemon since it can link to the GBA games. yeah.

I really hope there's some Virtual Console compatability with this thing.

Re: Nintendo DSi

I will only buy it if they make Gameboy Camera DS

edit:
Nintendo is re-releasing GameCube titles like Pikmin under a new series called "Wii de Asobu Selection" (Play on Wii Selection).

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Re: Nintendo DSi

Man, that is one SEXY piece of hardware if that is what the final hardware is going looks like. I was going to ask for the new PSP model for Christmas, but dang, I will probably ask for this instead. Dang you Nintendo!

Anyone else excited about the DSi?

To limit supply issues, I don't expect the US to get this thing at all this year.

Re: Nintendo DSi

So far the only advantage to having this is a camera that's about as good as any regular phone.

That's ok, I'll pass.

Re: Nintendo DSi

larger screen, downloadable games, better sound, and a second camera that faces the player that's no doubt going to be used in games.

Re: Nintendo DSi

better online interface?

I've had more lag and disconnects with the PS3 than any Wii title. it's why I don't play MGO or SC4 anymore.

No offence, but I hope you are wrong. Heck, I bet you hope you are wrong yourself.
