Hey everyone this is Link here with some of the latest news about the newest version of the Nintendo DS Lite. The newest handheld has a couple of new features. For one there's a camera put in it so now you can take pics. I'm guessing since there's a camera there's going to be either a memory card that is going to be a ds card or maybe just some memory on the ds.
I guess for some people having a camera on your dsl is a good thing...although Nintendo did say that they didn't want the WII to be nothing but a gaming system...has Nintendo changed it's views on gaming systems? Also...do you really need a camera on your DSL? I mean don't most of us have cell phones with built in cameras, heck even my 9 year old kid sis has one. Well then again some might now but there is one thing the DSL loses with this new feature. And to some, it's kind of improtant. Well here take a look for yourself.
As you can see. There's no slot to be able to play any of the original and latest GBA games. So is this a plus or a minus? Well think of that one game you always have in that slot to play when you get bored. Maybe it's tetris, one of the many Mario games, or maybe it's a pokemon game. Well now you won't be able to play them. Now you just have your ds games to play.
So what do you think of the new DSL? Post your thoughts on the tag board and I'll try to post them up here ^^
the thing with the dsi (that is the name for the new ds) is that with the 2 camera you will be able to do stuff with the pic that you take.not only that the systems software as a whole will be more more open like the psp.it will have a a sd card port and will also be able to hold media files and browse the web.according to the nintendo chanel the dsi will become up with new things to do with the cams with later updates,like possibly a live chat with those who have your friend codes.there is also a possiblity of haveing virtual console for the the portible (especialy since the wii's update have been focused on the sd slot and card functions.)
there are even rumors that nintendo might start a vc for the ds with gb and gba game at a discounted price to be stored onto a sd card. or if you are a super haker you could place a rom on it your self.truthfuly i could se them selling nes,snes, and possibly sega gennisis and game gear games on the dsi since the button sceem is identical to the snes controler.
to me the trade off seems equal. i will be getting a dsi (premere night, april 5th) but i wont be getting rid of my dsx (the first more sturdier gen of the ds line).i like the fact of having a game in reserve and the perk of transfering my pokemon over into diamon or platinum from fire red of ruby but i also like linking up to stratagy wiki when i am stuck in a game or bulba pedia if i need to figure out how to evolve something in platinum. (mine will be black btw)
i highly sugets seeing the nintendo chanel info add bfore you are completely turned off of it.
wow i diden't know you were able to go on the web..

damn. Ok so I didn't go into full detail but thanks for the report ^^
I'll add your part as an add on to my part on the main page when I get a chance ^^
Hmm....now which one of my hacker friend's will know how to...oh...uh.....LOOK A PLANE!!!
anyways. the thing I'm thinking is that if you already own a ds game will you hav eto pay to download it? I mean for those who don't know how to hack or have hacker friends XD
i dont know if you will be able to download ds games that are all ready out, but there might be some dsi esclusice hardware games and possibly a few download able games.
as for what does the i stand for...well i thin it is a terrible pun like i = eye, refering to the camera.it could also indicate that that it is internet enabled....i think the other explanaition is more viable though. (it could also be a jab at steve job's lines of i-everything (ipod,imac,ibook,itv,iradio...)
at game stops there is a new special trade up offer. trade in your working ds lite for 70$ towards the dsi. i think it is a rip off since the trade off is equal, but if you dont have dsi spending money you might need to look into this (be warned though you will miss pokemon fire red... and kingdom hearts chain of memories)
That actually might be it. Or it could be since it will be compatable with the wii they took an i from wii and slapped it on XD
And yeah that's a ****ty trade off. Because the dsi is going for 170 (169.99 I count as 170 XD) So you still gotta find another hundred bucks to be able to buy it
Currently only comes in the blue above and black. Wonder which color will be sitting on the shelves for a while XD
BUT you know nintendo, they're going to wait a month then release more colors XD
ok ok. i think since nintendos pitch to snag ordinary people to become the new casual gamers (completely negelecting the hardcore gamers TT.TT) and the non gameing features of the dsi i think that both colors will be distributed evenly.i am a little upset that they didnt make more colors, because when i think of casual gamers, they like to accesorize. who do you think has a million razor cell phone cases, or has even bought the jonas brothers wii skins? so more colors it think would be a smart move on their part i think.
to be honest my wii is naked...well besides the wavebird node penitrating from the top. even my wii remote (not a wiimote) has no proctective skin.thats how i am...i play dangerously....and i also dont let those who could cause harm to my tv anyway near my electronics.
i just got conformation that dsi will have dsiware. a few release titles are: brain age math express warioware,snaped (remebers the wario ware game for the game boy color with the cam...) artstyle aqua and a few others
lol now i have more reasons to get the dsi.. and omg i wish i had a plushy of kon! to bad i spend all my money on games and game systems...and comp stuff i don't use..

i got it i got it i got it!!!! it has live up to all my expectations. as the first ones out theyt give you 1000 nintendo points (the old wii points converted over for the dsi) you can buy the browsre for free.whats better is the games are sold in cattigories of "free" "200 points" "500 points" and *800+ points* meaning the majority of games are 2 to 5 bucks. the camera was fun and i like the fact that you can distort the lens before you take a pic.messing around with music is fun. also every thing has a wii like feel to it making it feel like a true evolving system. it also has a 1gig internal memory if you dont have a sd card.
a few drawbacks.the sound control is now two buttons and not a slide.this could mean that the volume is too soft or too loud with out being perfect for you.obviously there is no game boy advanced port wich i s a major bummer.also the three games i did get were very very short. which makes me wonder if there are going to be any real game coming out on the dsiware and are these relese titles just rushed.not only that but one was a mini game from a gba wario ware, another was one magic trick from a differnt game on the ds.
i give the system as a whole a 8 out of 10. i still feel the trade off only leans slightly to the dsi for its built in peripherals.
That's cool. My best friend is getting one too. Dunno if I'll get one for myself yet ^^; I have other priorities like a bike, memory card and other stuff ^^
Can you write up a little better review? I'll throw it up on the site if you do ^^
