So does anybody know if there are any graphical improvements on the new DSi? Also do the cartridges have bigger space than the DS ones? I didn't see any graphic changes on the DSi trailer....

Which, when you think about it, might actually make the graphics appear worse. Since the fidelity of the DS is already so limited, blowing that up a bit probably will only help to highlight this fact. Of course, we're talking about a very minor expansion in the screen(s) size.
true, but Im sure slightly bigger isnt a major putdown...nonetheless, im sticking with my dsliteirpacynot said:da_head said:there are no graphical improvements. the screen is just SLIGHTLY larger.

They can't really make it have better graphics without alienating people with other models. It's really not possible to have games that run on both old and new DSes but look better on one. If they were making a new system this would be a relevant issue, but it's just an upgrade to their existing platform. Nobody expects to have better graphics on a DS Lite over a Phat, a GBA SP over an original, etc.

As did we all. But here's the thing: the DSi isn't really a new DS, at least it's not a next-gen DS. It's just another repackaging of the system with some add-ons. It looks to be a very desirable system...if you don't already own a DS. For the rest of us (at least, I speak for myself here when I say...), though, it's just more money we need to throw at Nintendo for no good reason.

He's talking about something that wouldn't work at all.
Or put simply, I think he's trying to say that games should have a "DS Mode" and a "DSi mode" if the DSi were to have better graphics.
The cart would have two sets of the game on it, say one has higher resolution textures, and it would detect whether it's being run on a "DS" or a "DSi" and choose which set, low-res or high-res, of textures to use.
It wouldn't work though. The idea is just stupid.
scoozer said:The biggest letdown for me was the Batterytime. It has less battery time as the DS, so WTF? For me the main point of a handheld is the batterytime and how long you can play it with one charge (wihout carrying accus). So id think about a buy if the batterytime would be the same as the DSLite... now the accu is smaller...
