No, it's just a bigger DSi, no different specs at all.

Very cool idea and definitely for the elderly or people with bad eyesight. Anyone complaining about them putting out "yet another" version (like the above) when it's very obviously made to help a specific group of people needs to be quiet.
I doubt it will ever come to America, so I hope we at least get a DSi in that color.
It seems to be Nintendo's attempt to capture a bit more of the 電子辞書(electronic dictionary) market, I don't really have time to look at the page, but it looks as though it will have a DSiWare version of 楽引き辞典 and other software included.
I don't really think they will be bringing this to the US anytime soon, this is definitely directed towards adults with poor vision that may want to play an occasional game between looking up words and studying for the kanji kentei.

Guessing it's the same in length/width, just with the obviously bigger screen. Thickness is identical to the DSlite, so in a way you could say it's the DS phat 2. Way more portable, better screen, but not nearly as compact as the DSi.
Specs look otherwise to be exactly the same. Dpad/buttons seem identically sized in the comparison (to the DSi), so Huelen, it's probably the exact same characteristics in use, too. Weight is 50% more but that's still pretty light overall.
The site also lets you preview the system colors. Dark Brown is nearly black in shade, and Natural White is...well, white.
Battery life is apparently stronger; this would make sense as they'd need to add a higher mAh battery anyways just to deal with the screen size.
(And for those who care, looks like it uses the same DSi AC adapter...)
As said, really is just a bigger DSi. Buy it if you want a bigger system, but the DSi regular is not going out of stock anytime soon.
The new default stylus is 4 mm longer than the DSi's stylus.
The long "touch pen" is almost 40 mm longer than the DSi's stylus.
The system weighs approximately 50% more than the DSi/Lite.
1 - 3 hrs more battery life than DSi, depending on screen brightness.
3 hour charge (same as DS Lite, 30 mins longer than DSi)

THAT makes it interesting. Having a built in Rakubiki would be awesome. Unless, it is already available on the DSi store?ivedoneyourmom said:

What a wasted opportunity if the d-pad and buttons aren't bigger (and more spaced out). Might be actually worth it if that's the case, although obviously not at the current price.

Perhaps they're just fucking with Activision's attempts to make DS peripherals for their rhythm games...AniHawk said:
Activision: We're bringing Guitar Hero to DS using the GBA Slot!
Nintendo: Fuck You! We're releasing a new DS without a GBA Slot!
Activision: We're including fitted drum pads for Band Hero DSi!
Nintendo: Fuck You! Drum pads won't fit - we're making the DSi Bigger!
Activision: Guitar Hero 6 DS will be buttonless, played with your mind!
Nintendo: Fuck You! Next DS won't have screens or speakers!
Terrible selection of colours, stylus looks ugly, the thing is huge and clunky. Why would I want something so big?
I'm happy with the DSi I have, small and compact and probably doesn't weigh 10 pounds. :lol
Or maybe I just feel like voicing my opinion regardless, on a gaming forum. :O
Oh and do you honestly believe North American elders will actually buy into this? :lol
No need to use caps. I can read just fine.

Goddamn there are a lot of obtuse people here. First you can't figure out that this is just a large screen variant for old people who can't see too well, then when someone on the very first page spells it out for you... you still didn't read nor comprehend that fact.
Then you fret about how this is too big to be portable or how you don't want to add this to your collection... YOU KNOW WHAT MAYBE YOU DO NEED A LARGE SCREEN BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T READ SHIT BEFORE YOU POST

Nintendo?
This is a message that all the big three can take to the bank.
I personally think that Nintendo did not like the fact that sony currently had more pointless revisions than they did, so they upped the ante

Maybe they will finally release Virtual Portable [GameBoy].
The extra girth is for added authenticity!
Please please please release Virtual Portable, Nintendo!

Power post. Nintendo may have stumbled upon an unexpected audience for this product.
Agreed. At first I saw the pictures of it by itself and raged, then I saw the comparison pics against the original DSi, and I calmed down realizing I don't want to upgrade to this thing. Also, am I the only person that thinks the design of the device itself is ugly? I thought the DSi looked much better. I agree with the comments of it being marketed to an older crowd.Yes Boss! said:Ok,
I see the size difference. Definitely DO NOT WANT. This coming from a long time DS collector.
