Ten-Song said:Indeed, I much like that more than the damn glossy tops on the Lite.

This new, svelte dual-screen portable (pictured below) was announced at a Nintendo Co. Ltd. press event. The DSi is slated to launch in Europe in the spring of 2009.
HEY I have Play YAn and I use it with my GBM and its gorgeous, Sirmrklaw said:wow. Looks like shit compared to the lite. Not noticably smaller/thinner. Screens not noticably bigger.
audio player looks like that crappy one they released on GBA ages ago. Web browser looks like the crappy opera they had before. Doesn't sound like the specs of the machine have changed so it'll still be crappy slow at browsing probably.
camera is shit, but maybe enough to capture images for games. which of course you won't be able to use online with friends because of Nintendo's morbid fear of irresponsible use.
No external screen or controls for changing the music (maybe they'll support some kind of headphone remote?). finish just looks worse than the DS lite (nasty hinges, flat finish)
DS ware might be intersesting if there is a wifi app store equivalent - not if you have to download on PC or wii and transfer.

Isn't part of the reason it's that way for portables because you might be in a different place and buy the physical carts/cards? Not an issue for an online service; if you're near a place where you can connect to the Internet, you should be able to connect to your regional store.mrklaw said:Unless they really take account of the 'portability' part and make it region free like the rest of the DS.

Neo Child said:It's different though, a lot of DS games require usage of the GBA slot, it's not like the new PS3 games needed the old PS2 games to work.
Did people get this upset about the two PSP revisions we've seen in the last year?Vaandaviii said:Nice. Nintendo has brought that "apple way of life" to consoles. Time to move on to microsoft as second provider.
ANOTHER DS model with exclusive content? The fourth pillar? C'mon, I'm not paying a single euro to these guys. I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick of nintendo making money. I loved when they had ONE FUCKING CONSOLE and made genius games for it. Now they not only change the hardware yearly, but also only make SHIT.
I'm sick of wiimotes, balance boards, motion plus, DSi, DSp, DSj... FUCK give me the gameboy and the gamecube with great games and stop fucking gamers.
I dun like it too but I saw that its for taking camera. Press to focus?Ninja Kn1ght said:The shoulder buttons are pretty ugly but other than that it looks good.
And a power button which isn't exposed, meaning no more accidentally turning it off while it's in sleep mode.Masklinn said:Am I the only one who noticed that they finally nuked the retarded sound slider and replaced it with real buttons?
Oh yes, I hadn't thought of that. This is all kinds of awesome.Wrestlemania said:And a power button which isn't exposed, meaning no more accidentally turning it off while it's in sleep mode.

They should make N64 games, SNES games and so forth downloadable on it. That would make it the best handheld machine ever.
Same way PS1 games can be played on the PSP and same way Mario 64 can be played on the DS.Ten-Song said:How the hell would that even work?
dabookerman said:Same way PS1 games can be played on the PSP and same way Mario 64 can be played on the DS.
Ten-Song said:Yuck, in that case, count me out. Mario 64 controlled like ass on the DS.
I find this peculiar as well. I mean, its just a clean slate...never would have guessed that.antispin said:The lack of DS logo tells me that nintendo has almost as much confidence in the DSi as it did in the DS with its lack of then identifiable logos. Clearly, third pillar redux.
dabookerman said:Ok good bye then.
Of course, I was also referring to the BRILLIANT PS1 emulation of the PSP with it's Mappable!!! Buttons <------
