My nephew has been waiting for ages for this! He has been talking about it non-stop like it’s better than his Birthday!
So what’s all the fuss???
Well, launching in the US on April 5th is the new Nintendo DSi – thinner and with a bigger screen (17% bigger) than the DS Lite. It also has 2 cameras inside – one facing out when using and one facing the player (!!!) The SD memory card slot then allows you to move your pictures onto your Nintendo Wii console for enlarged viewing!
My nephew will no doubt take pictures of his granny across the room without her knowing – manipulate them on screen to look hilarious – then flash it up on the TV screen to his continued amusement!!
The DSi is already out in Japan, but is set to take the States by storm when released! It should be around $170 and available in either black or blue (no pink for the girls yet then!!).
Further additions to this magical gadget also include audio enhancements for gaming – which not only allow you to play music, but to change it while you listen. You can speed up or slow down your music – or your recorded voices! I can see my nephew asking his mom a silly question – recording her answer and then playing it back to her at high speed so she sounds like a leprechaun!!!The new DSi also has a built-in browser which allows games to be downloaded straight to the DSi through it’s WiFi connection rather than buying a separate games cartridge.It will also still play all the existing DS games – so you won’t loose any of your old favorites and my nephew can continue to fight Pokamon characters all day, every day…….

The NDSi is the best handheld ever imo, I don’t care what those PSP fanboys say….
