Another new DSi with 4 inch screens

[TheDarkSeed]

Sigh, does Nintendo never get tired of making money?

No but they seem quite tired of loosing money to piraters.

Then wouldn't they lose more people buying this considering a lot of people got a dsi now.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

I think with this console nintendo it targeting their fanboys/girls and people who haven't quite decided whether they should buy a ds or not. I mentioned earlier that they might not be releasing one with just a bigger screen. It might be completely redesigned to attract more customers.

What they should be doing is redesigning the Wii so that it has an HDD or some shit. You know? something useful. They just keep redesigning the ds cause its cheaper. Nintendo never goes that extra mile to ensure their products are the best they can be. But they just keep crankin out more designs with extra bells n' whistles.


But honestly, I think this new DSi is gonna be badass. My thoughts are it'll be more like an iphonish design. If so. then maybe I'll buy one.

I updated the portal news with more information

The rumors are true. Today, at Nintendo's press event in Tokyo, the company announced a revised version of the Nintendo DS.

Dubbed the Nintendo DSi LL, the new portable will feature a 4.2 inch screen. Priced at ¥20,000 (US$220) the DSi LL will be released on November 21. The "LL" refers to the extra large size.

The redesign comes at the request of customers who said they wanted a larger screen, and the screen is a 93 percent increase over the DS Lite's screen size. The DSi LL is geared for those who want to use their Nintendo handheld for internet and as a music player as the larger screen is able to displayer letters and characters in a bigger font.

The DSi LL is bundled with a longer touch pen (129.3mm), and comes will three DSiWare titles pre-installed: Two brain training games (one for humanities, the other for sciences) and DS Easy Dictionary. Releasing in three colors, the DSi LL will be available in Dark Brown, Wine Red and Natural White.

I think this is quite appropriate...

You got that from the Kotaku article comment #4 I believe.

DSL comparison:


DSi

 

[Raichy]

Curious about comparison shots with DSi in closed stance..

 

[wolffangalchemist]

So it is real.... if they release it in the states i might get one since i don't have a dsi.
If nothing else i'll get one to bean people in the head with since it's the size of a small yet thick book.
EDIT: also... DAT STYLUS

 

[jonesman99]

ok... time out, flag on the play... now i love nintendo just as much as the next guy or gal, but the dsi has only been out a less than a year (itll be a yr and some change when actually released) but who else thinks their innovation has gotten out of hand?

albeit, it has a nice and more comfortable pocket and possibly hand feel and touch to it, but i bet that its internal statistics will be exactly the same as the others...

This so far is my opinion... it is not meant to sway people or cause a disturbance... but im starting to wonder about the future nintendo's handhelds...

It'll come with two Styli. The smaller one being 4mm longer than the DSi ones.

Seriously. What is your deal? And people who share your thoughts. IT'S AN OPTION! It's not a replacement for the current DSi, just another option for people of other preferences. Some people don't like or have trouble with the smaller ones, especially older people. Why discriminate? Seriously?! If you don't like it, don't get it. Simple. People don't bitch about other electronics and gadgets that have multiple models for people with different preferences, why is a handheld any different?

EDIT: Fixed typo. How the hell did I type know instead of don't?

+1.
Exactly why the DSLite is still on sale.

As long as both (all three, if you count the DSL) models are available in stores, I don't see what everyone's whining about.

 

[BoxShot]

Now everyone has an option! DSi LL for the older people, DSi for er .... guys who play ds games and want dsi ware, and dsl for people who still love their gba slot!

 

[wolffangalchemist]

DSi LL for the older people.

if it's build close enough to the size of a DS fat i'm gonna say it's for people with big hands too.
i've broken 3 different ds lite's from droping them do to hand cramps, and i think i'm close to breaking my 4th.
