DS gets a facelift with bigger screens and two cameras


Nintendo has officially revealed its new DS SKU, the DSi.

The new console, is similar in design to the DS Lite, but features two cameras, larger screens, improved speakers, and an SD memory card slot.

The machine is also 12 per cent thinner than the DS Lite, and features an SD memory card slot so gamers can take images with the handheld and view them on Nintendo’s Wii.

As a trade off, the GBA cartridge slot has been removed.




Reports from Nintendo’s press conference, which took place in the early hours, also points to internal memory for applications, a built in web browser, and the ability to download DSi software using Nintendo Points, which are set to replace Wii Points.

The DSi will be available in Black and White, and is set for release on November 1st in Japan, and is expected to hit Europe in Spring 2009.

Bound to be especially with hardcore gamers who just need to have the latest gadget. Will be trying to get a few

The only problem - it won't be released in UK till spring 2009, so there won't be a massive media coverage in the UK. But still, a lot of people probably will be informed and will try to get their hands on a import :niceone:

Well done mate you certainly do have connections as pretty much every Game and Retail Mag had only rumours to go on and had been waiting for Nintendo to release details as they have been very tight lipped on it.

You got any info on the WiiHD?

Anyone who gets their hands on them will make a fortune. It will be similar to when the PSP was released in Japan before the UK
