Nintendo Reveals New DSi Console

With recent talk of 2011 as the date when Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony throw down for the next round off ‘Who’s The Console Daddy’, Nintendo has just announced a new DS, the DSi. It’s not a radical leap from the current DS, which is still selling faster than tickets to a Led Zeppelin reunion gig, but the DSi adds some interesting new features. These include a 0.3MP camera [two cameras in fact], a slightly bigger display at 3.25in, Web browser, and the ability to play audio files. You can also tweak the pitch and playback speed of the sound files.It’s also slightly thinner than the DS Lite. The SD Card slot will allow you to add new content but the GameBoy Advance slot has been sacrificed. The big pitch is the ability to buy games and content online from the DSi Shop. DSiWare will be priced at between $2 and $8 [or 200 and 800 points] and each device comes with 1000 points bundled. Some DSiWare will be free. The DSi will cost a bit more than the DS when it launches in Japan on November 1 and it is expected to come out in Europe ’sometime in 2009′.-Martin Lynch DS console nintendo
