Buying and downloading classic GB/GBC/GBA games. Yes I said GBA, it's perfect with the removement of the GBA slot.
Yes I said it before you.

@ViRGE: Said to have 512 MB of ram which is enough to load any GBA game as well as NDS. Also there is an SD card slot.
It doesn't have 512MB of RAM. It may have 512MB of FlashROM(i.e. internal storage), but certainly not 512MB of RAM. Not even the Wii has 512MB of RAM (it has 88MB).
Well my bad I read RAM before at some point. It is 4AM so I am not thinking at 100%. But yea I still think its possible. Only time will tell.

I would have liked, if they made the system really smaller with bigger screens and sacrificing the gba-slot for it. But a camera for the gba-slot!? I don`t know...

But I think they announced some really great games and some of them I´m really thrilled to play... I think that`s more then enough for such a conference...even with this new redesign, which is really not that impressive!

I'm happy no 2 touch screens, means I would have to buy another. I'm hopefully assuming correctly the DSWare games will be hacked and then we will be on even playing fields game-wise right? Or am I missing something that the DSi Will play and not the DSL?

Im just hoping theres RAM, that there might be some way to do new things like running multiple things and so the browser doesn't suck.

Judging by the fact that Nintendo added no truly new hardware required to run new games, I'm sure the DSiWare games could potentially run on old models of the DS with some hacking (if any of that were even required).

first i just wanna say this is so cool

nds ware = more apps maybe gba emu etc
firmware updates = sure someone can hack on this and allow to play nds game using sd card (bye bye flash carts)
2 cameras = video chat is posible in future ^^
on/off button = i think this one is way more better than the old power button
first the old slide power not so good because the small henge inside it easy to snap and no more on/off


i bet this ds will come up with a nds ware video player in future too
oh and i forgot

"Where is the volume control!!!!!"

I'd personally keep both. And it's way to early to really decide whether or not you want to start selling them off to save up for the dsi. Also if you have a job you can save up money for it, Christmas is another option and it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait for the price to drop either.

I say enjoy your nds lite since it seems like you actually have less game options on the dsi, guitar hero/gba games. Wait for information to be released imho!

Only one thought for entire idea: lolwut!

Camera and music player? I suppose it's not a bad thing, actually that's quite all right. I for one always imagined if it would have them. Besides, as an R4 user, my loss of SDHC micro sd doesn't matter anymore, now I can just get an SD card for music.

Thanks Nintendo, maybe I won't have to buy another flashcart.

look on the main menu with the buttons, theres a volume control at the bottom of the screen. Also is it just me or did nintendo just create the DAS/DTS from another code:two memories/trace memory?

ALso, if anyone knows, or can give a guess what the black circle on the hinge between the two screens? there a smaller hole i assuem to be a mic. I believe it's a camera, for webcam-like purposes...
Well if you look at the Nintendo Japan website it seems to have a red light coming out of it... maybe some kind of red eye reduction perhaps oO?

I think they are camera&mic.
but the mic hole, also has LED which turn on when camera is operating.

So if Nintendo does away with the SLOT-2, does that mean that the SD slot will now be used as extra memory, or built-in? And I wonder what happens when you try to play a DSi game that uses the camera functions into a DS Lite...
