I guess people forgot all about the Sega Game Gear.

Because whatever the size of DSi LL, it can't be any bigger than that beast! XD

And why not just make a new system if you're going to enlarge the screen so damn much and add another pen (this one a lot bigger too!).
Because the "new" DSi isn't intended to replace the DSi, but to be sold alongside it. It's just an option. You don't have to buy it, as it's almost identical to the regular DSi.


It seems everyone is bashing Nintendo for giving people more options. Amazing.

I hate to put myself up for flames, but I kind of agree with Veho. It's like Nintendo is going the iPod/Xbox 360/PS3 way. Choosing your screen size is kind of akin to choosing your storage in an iPod or something. The relation between a 3 or 4 inch screen I can make an analogy to deciding between a 30GB or 60GB hard drive for some electronic. It's not like anyone is forcing you to buy it, but you can be pretty sure that some people will. Might as well let it go. And like I said, if I can take a Game Gear with me and play it on a roadtrip (and I have), I think I could stand a larger DS. But I don't intend on buying it, so don't flame me. I'm waiting for the real DS2.

People are really over exaggerating the size of the thing it's not THAT much bigger, it still is portable, it doesn't have to fit in your pocket to be portable you know
Dunno what you're talkin' about. It's clearly bigger than a laptop, or some sort of purse-dwelling sewer rat (chihuahuas are not real dogs).

It's kinda stupid since it doesn't bring out any new features.

In my opinion it would be better if they made a 2nd ds lite that's smaller without a gba slot etc.

Is the PSP supposed to be around 170 mm (L) x 74 mm (W) x 23 mm (D) ?

Anyways I don't think theres anything wrong with this personally. They are just doing what most other companies do. As long as they use the money they earn here to research into a better DS2, I'm happy.

Do I really need to type /sarcasm every time I'm being sarcastic here? Was it not apparent from the audacity of the post itself? This thread is filled with people whining about a company selling an improved product, simply because they "have to buy it" or "can't pirate games on it". The most retarded complaint is a slight increase in size rendering it no longer portable, when much larger items are carried by millions of people on a daily basis, yet are still considered portable. A DS belongs in a case anyway, not in your pocket. You'll just break it and end up back here whining about how easily they break.

wow.
after looking at the pictures, i don't regret getting a DSi (4 freaking days ago) at all.
the only thing this shit would be good for is watching movies using the iPlayer (considering it will actually work) which wouldn't bother me at all as i prefer watching my movies on the TV/PC.
it reminds me of the PSP.... everyone was expecting for an awesome new system and BOOM!
oh well... let's all hope there will be a DS2...

I remember reading that the DSi LL wasn't going to replace the original DSi, it's just another product to choose between, and it was targeted to a different audience, you know, old people, people with bad sight. I'd rather get the original DSi than this one, the resolution is the same after all.

How is it gonna accommodate that pen-like stylus?

This might benefit me. I'm after the battery life. The DSi screen is enough for me though, but accessibility for me is a plus so I might consider this.

It's like Sony and Nintendo had a bet to see which new "reworked" portable for a "different target audience" would sell.
There should be a poll on this...

That thing is friggin huge 0.0

What the hell are they thinking? Larger screens don't necessarily translate to better graphics either. The graphics will be stretched more and look even worse
