Nintendo DSi, Announced!

Hello WiiUsers!

Well the rumors have been flooding around about a new DS for some time, and guess what? Here it is! The new DSi.

Features: Music Playback
Photo Viewing
Built in SD Card Slot
Camera
Built in Browser Functions
Mii Use Service

Nintendo has states that this is going to be running along side the Nintendo DS Lite, and that is is not a new generation hand held console. It's just an upgraded Nintendo DS Lite. Along with all the features comes something else that is new. DSiware, in other words, downloadable content for your DSi. It's just like WiiWare, to the point where you can download games originally designed and made for the DSi. The games will cost somewhere between 200, 500, and 800 points though there is no telling if we can use WiiPoints cards, or if there will be a new Nintendo DSi Points card.

Oh and before I forget, here is a nifty little video sporting the new DSi.


UPDATE:
As of now there is a release date in Japan for November 1st, 2008. There are no other known release dates.

Not necessarily. It may be a little more expensive than the DS Lite, but I'm estimating not much more.

Well this could be good, but also screw up cause building something like this must take alot of $$$ cause getting the lens, getting a bigger lifespan battery (since of camera) for Nintendo and knowing them they will probably only release it in Japan for testing it out for now. Also you forgot Gohan a bigger screen lol.

I didn't read anywhere that they said bigger screen so I didn't put it up.
