When the Nintendo DSi launches in the US on April 5, 2009, it'll be extremely close to three years since Nintendo released the Nintendo DS Lite. Three years is nearly an eternity for an electronic gadget – heck, Apple seems to update its hardware almost every year. And that's exactly what the Nintendo DSi is – though it touts brand new features, it's not a brand new system. It's more an upgraded model of the existing platform. The iPhone 3G to 2007's iPhone, if you wanted to compare its direction.

New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.

The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
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.

Zelda were all glorious on it.
