New DS confirmed

[Scathraax]

Don't know if want..

Oh yeah, some bad news for all of you thinking about getting a price cut for DSL/Wii. Nintendo confirmed they won't be getting price cuts.

Ya when I got my Lite a year or two ago Lite's were $130 and phats were $130

.

whoa, no GBA slot? o.o; that makes this weird then. Will this thing have more ram in it then? Seems to be the only way to do it. I mean, we will also be losing the rumble pack and such for certain games. Makes me sad, haha.

I can only assume it has more ram if it has a built in browser! Sucks to those who've BOUGHT the browser, haha.


Also, the SD cart slot will be really nice. I don't understand the internal memory though.

It's not about what is better, but what is more spread, and used.......I don't know anyone who has their music library in AAc format....and everybody uses MP3......
Approximately 75% of my music library is in AAC because I own an iPod so AAC support sounds really good, but I doubt I'd use it since I have a perfectly working iPod Nano v2 at home.

Am I the only one noticing the icon for Rhythm Tengoku Gold?


I'd probably consider buying the DSi when the full potential of it has been revealed.

i just put together a video of the dsi when i was bored,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGzQ8YP7oSM

it showcases all the DSi's specs

Kinda disappointed in this, noting too revolutionary...

3MP camera? My cell phone has 3.2MP
MP3 player? Cell phone...
Web browser? Cell phone...
Touch screen interface? Cell phone...

(and no, my cell phone is NOT an iPhone)

Will I still get this? Hells yes.

:edit: Everyone getting hopeful about being able to play GBA games from the Slot1 or SD slot. It's possible they removed the GBA processor from the board, meaning no GBA games at all.

If this NDSi is supposed to be backwards compatible with current DS games, it will still have the ARM7 processor, because many current DS games use the ARM7 processor for things like wifi configuration, touch screen usage, ect.

Yes matte as in no fingerprints....and it's regular SD, not micorSD..

sd cards come in bigger memory sizes then micro.

IF DSi support SDHC
But somehow, I feel nintendo didn't include it

 

[Wolfsclaw]

No way i'll be getting that.... I'm rather aiming for a Pandora

 

[DrKupo]

Someone needs to shove a flash cart into this thing and see if it boots.

 

[playallday]

Nice video:

 

[go185]

No way i'll be getting that.... I'm rather aiming for a Pandora

Which costs almost two times as much...

 

[DrKupo]

No way i'll be getting that.... I'm rather aiming for a Pandora

Which costs almost two times as much...

and has no real games coming to it

 

[JPH]

Anyone know where they can be pre-ordered online?

And will drop the price in half soon because no one will buy it.

I don't think you can yet, if ever and if they did you'd need to live in Japan!

EDIT: Sorry double post.

 

[cosmiccinema]

not much of an upgrade, except for resolution and shape.

 

[Doggy124]

Funny...
When I first saw the pic of DSi

I think of this

 

[CockroachMan]

This looks like a big kick in the balls to Activision.. they are releasing a second Guitar Hero game on the DS and a new Tony Hawk game using the GBA slot for a motion sensing accessory

 

[Searinox]

NDG! XDDD

If it has builtin RAM for the browser maybe it could be exploited for GBA emulation. That'd solve the slot-2 removal con.... for flashcart users only. XD

 

[D-Trogh]

I think it's cool.. and that's like all I have to say right now =P
