Nintendo Announce New DS: The Nintendo DSi

Quote:

During their Fall Press Conference today, Nintendo have - as expected - announced a new version of the Nintendo DS. Called the Nintendo DSi, it eschews the GBA slot (boo!) in favour of a slight downsizing (it's a little thinner) and 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 (640x480) camera. And that's just the start of it.

The DSi also 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 browser, and it's possible to download games and keep them on the DSi.

For digital delivery purchases, there is a DSi Shop, from which users can download DSiWare from. 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 DSi will be released in Japan on November 1. It will retail for ￥18,900 (USD$180), and will be available in two colours, white and black. It will be released in other markets sometime "next year".

Yeah...
GBA slot for SD slot.

not much of a redesign besides adding camera, bigger screen, taking out the gba slot, and adding a sd card slot?

It's basically for the Japanese audience; they're suckers for these kinds of features. America not so much. I'll bet the sales numbers will reflect that.

runtohell121 · 10-02-2008, 07:12 AM

well.. it will be first released in Japan this year in November or so and other places will get it next year.. i bet china will get it as same as Japan

It's like the GBA micro of the DS.
._.

I haven't seen one person with the micro.
I have a feeling too.

I don't really see the point of releasing another DS. Bigger screen.. Taking out the backwards compatibility.. I'll skip it.

well that sucks i was expecting it to come out sooner.

Quote:

Here at the Ninendo Media Summit in San Francisco, NOA President Reginald Fils-Aime stated that the Nintendo DSi would not make an appearance in the US until "well into calendar year 2009." He cited the popularity of the current DS Lite as the primary reason for the prolonged release of the new system.

I hate my Ds lite i have already had 2 because my first wouldn't play pokemon when diamond/pearl came out.

What do u guys think.

NOTE: I do not wish this post to be a flame. if u think it is well then oops

Yeah, I don't see this being a success.
I'm more of a console/pc gamer myself.
