Nintendo DSi Fully Detailed, Release Date Given

Kombo Reports: "The rumors were true. As soon as Nintendo started their conference in Japan, they confirmed that there will be a new DS model coming out. The official title of the device is the Nintendo DSi.

Iwata stated: "At the pace the Nintendo DS has been selling, you might think that the market has been saturated. But we believe we can still expand it."

On the cosmetic side of things, this version will be 12%, 2.6 millimeters lighter, GBA slot will be excluded. The system will gain a camera and MP3 playback in place of the GBA compatibility. The Nintendo DSi camera will contain 300,000 pixels. Both screens will be touch panels, and photographs should be able to be manipulated through the touch screen. The pitch and playback speed of sound on the Nintendo DSi can be adjusted at will."

So what happens now with the previous one touch screen design? How will devs take advantage of two touch screens when only one model has this feature? Are they just going to consider this like a whole new handheld being released?

pwnsause6446d ago

now how much space can the DS have to store? or will they Use the SD flash cards? other than that, its a good revamping of the platform, although it looks just like the DS lite.

BrunoM6446d ago

if u really think about it they didnt put out a new ds well they did and didnt ..

they did as much as sony has been doing psp 3000 ..

i was hoping for a new ds something that would be able to have graphics that look like the psp ... but w.e ..

kool new gameboy .. here we go again .. (even tho the cam is a kool thing)

meepmoopmeep6445d ago

yeah, that's what i'd like to know. maybe 512mb on board or something, which isn't too bad but an SD slot would be great

Cheeseknight286445d ago

I'm fairly sure there's an SD slot on the side where the power button used to be, which is now on the inside of the system.

DarkBlade6446d ago

Good thing i didn't buy my DS yet. I would been pissed off if i did.

RareNimbus6446d ago

i got 2 ds and a psp. still waiten for the next new one DS.

GametimeUK6446d ago (Edited 6446d ago )

The DS library of games is HUGE!... Added with GBA titles makes it an epic win... This DS does not support the GBA titles which I think kind of sucks... I would probably choose a lite over this new DS because of the GBA support...

On the other hand some people may want the MP3 support and cam which sound kool...

BUT... The hardcore who want the latest DS and have a lite already dont need to fear as the DS isnt too expensive... Any children that have a DS probably wont care anyway...

(edit) read the article... that is quite a package

R_19936445d ago

I have to agree with you there, no GBA is kind of a letdown.

ChickeyCantor6445d ago

If they release GBA dowloads it would be awesome.

this new ds sounds great im glad i didn't buy a lite

Szarky6446d ago

2.6mm thinner. Grammar police!

chanmasta6446d ago

... that's what I thought!

I just woke up, as i'm in UK, and saw these DSi articles and was like... you know, that feeling you get when a new Nintendo console is announced!

This sounds brilliant, loving the Wii Shop Channel into DSi kinda thing!

And the application kinda thing!

And everything they just announced kinda thing!

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
