Apparently I think just like Nintendo. :lolKobun Heat said:Apparently that's exactly why they're doing it, says the story.

OP fails hard.
BikoBiko said:Strange move, just a year after the DSi launched in Japan? Could've just released this model in the first place.

Dragona Akehi said:If all other specs asides from the screen are the same, you're just getting a much poorer picture quality. Larger pixels = BLEH.
Jazzem said:Whaa? Bah, that's a bit of a kick in the face to a current DSi owner :/ Still, the screens have a good size to them on the current model.
This. :lolWario64 said:Don't worry, n4g will link to this thread soon enough. Then I can give you a link that links to this thread.

Not really, they just gettin greedy.[Nintex] said:Nintendo will probably get all DS related projects out of their system this year and early next year to fully focus on the Tegra equipped handheld next year... I hope.
Wario64 said:I'm guessing the supplier for these screens just produced bigger screens and offering at same cost to Nintendo, so there's no price difference or any new features in this 'new' models.

Please don't ban my sorry butt.
Bingo. My guess is that Nintendo is trying to pull an iPhone, releasing an new model on a yearly basis, with developers designing their games for a certain model of hardware, eventually moving to the next model when adoption gets high enough and an even newer model is out, and so on.grandjedi6 said:heh, Nintendo thinks they're Apple.
With TVs you are supposed to vary your distance according to the size - if you don't you'll have the same problem. For handhelds the distance is fixed. (well, not completely, but there's an upper limit)levious said:is it something about handhelds that make people say this more? I never see this sentiment about HDTV screen size.
Well, there is a slight difference in pixel count.levious said:is it something about handhelds that make people say this more? I never see this sentiment about HDTV screen size.

On topic: Dang.. What a shame, I just bought my DSi..
Except for the tattooing (BTW, thank you for the tag reference of the sonic fangirl), you fucking nailed me sadly, you all fucking nailed me. It's no secret, while I love all hardware manufacturers, it's Nintendo that has a special place in my gaming heart. I hope this comes out state side, and at the same resolution (Just for compatibility purposes of course). A bigger screen would be excellent for games like PPL and Ouendan (Seriously, my scores improved immensely when I played these games on DSi, I fare better with a larger screen, and so do all of my friends). Dragona is right though, it will probably look like shit due to the lower PPI. Levious, it makes a difference when you are close to a screen, which will be the case on a handheld. A product like this also has a place for those who are farsighted.EmCeeGramr said:

I still do not see how that would work. 480p, Wii's max, is 640x480 square pixels. The DS' screens are 256x192 each and there is a 92 pixel gap in-between them. I don't see how it can be done.Leondexter said:I want a 42" screen: my TV. Where's my DS Player attachment for the Wii, Nintendo?

Ah well, the more the merrier.
Mudkips said:Some people would like a larger screen.
Picture quality should be the same, or better.
Graphics quality will be the same.
If you dislike your increased visual perception of said graphics, hold the DS further away.
The only thing you actually get is a shorter battery life.
