Nintendo DSi Handheld Console

It's the 3rd April 2008, and the Nintendo DSi is finally here.

Have you got yours yet?
Is it worth getting?

And most importantly, How much is it?

You have come to the right place online because over the next few minutes I plan to answer those questions and many more. Are you Ready?

Lets Get Started

The Nintendo DSi is a fantastic product which aims to follow in the foot steps of the DS Lite. It has a screen which is 17% larger than its predecessor but is also 12% thinner meaning than this baby fits nicely in your hands, with improved game play from back catalogue of DS Games.

Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the DSi
features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen technology.

Other features include the ability to snap photos with the built-in cameras, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi is more interactive.

Let's take a look at the Nintendo DSi features more closely... 

Built-in Operating System

The New DSi has an on board operating sytem which is based on the Wii. What this means is that you no longer need to switch off your DSiand switch it on again when you change games

Two Cameras

As you already know, the Nintendo DSi has two cameras. One which faces inwards, the other outwards. The cameras work in with the application on the DSi, which allows you to distort the photos that you have taken. But digg this, you can also use the cameras for video chatting.

SD Memory Card

The Nintendo DSi has an SD Memory Card slot, where you will be able to store photos, music and digital media.

DSiWare Store

Modelled on the Wii store, the DSiWare store will allow you to download the latest games in exchange for Nintendo points.

Game Boy Advance Games

Not a chance. If you are a fan of the Game Boy Advance and love the games, this is probably the only negative of the Nintendo DSi
