Your sig is the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen!
I'm feeling like a pedophile now!

Likely so, Nintendo seems to be pushing their online service for now, unless DS and DSL users get a firmware update

Hmm. I would what to see how they might be able to achieve that.

IMO, DSL should get a year or two more before it's discontinued.....DSi can't really replace DSL as mentioned on the thread.

so anybody got an extra info about the camera function?
i mean the picture gallery bla bla bla-perhaps the picture can be transfered over from one platform to the other??
3mp seems decent quality to me-but dont really no wats the necessity of it being included in DSi

Just a guess, but probably not. With all the work involved just to re-flash a DS or DSL and their small capacity flash chips, chances it's not going to happen at all.

In terms of hardware, we still don't know much about what the DSi has to offer. There's definitely extra RAM and storage, just how much is there?

Well. Just a hunch and random theory. Maybe they could use the download play function? Connect to the Wii or WiFi and download the update. I think its possible, make the update something like the demos. Wont stay on your DS. Disappear when you turn off your DS.

Older game can support WPA?

i just hope that they still make the game compatible for the old NDS Phat or Lite...

Hmm, never thought of that.

Technically it is possible that the update could be delivered to users via Download Play, but it'll only have access to a portion of the firmware, not all of it. Unless Nintendo is able to develop some compression system that'll fit everything into that portion, and NDSi users being able to download stuff from them which is a selling point for the NDSi, it won't work. Where would we DS and DSL users store our DSWares anyway

It's not about the game, but the console itself.


Definitely would, no doubt about that, maybe apart from a few games.

The AM3 flashcart? The official one for the DS. Or a newer cart to play DSWare.

If that happens, then the previous console owners will just need to wait for some 'unauthorized development'. It is already possible to emulate the current DSL firmware on an emulator.

Also, if DSVision users are already able to download content, why need a NDSi? There should be something that separates the both of them, maybe different downloadable content, I suppose.

DSVision only offers contents like movies and comics. Not the DSWare. Guess that already sets them apart.

nice

I thought tat side is SD slot but look at it. It so much like DS games cartridge O.o

Added on October 2, 2008, 11:02 pmHere's more pic about NDSi


White NDSi


Black NDSi (omg, I love the Black design)


Looks wider than NDSL


The Slot 1 will call what since there is no more slot 2 ?
The L R button look nicer but don't know the vulnerability, hope is better


The Screen does look bigger and clearer.
The battery also shows 4 blocks (PSP 3 blocks) which makes it better. At least we know the battery life
And there's a new volume bar down there


My lovely slot 2 is gone
The D-pad design seems changed? back to phat DS one ?


SD Card Slot


New volume control, at least better than slide one...

I dont think they'll continue manufacturing the DSL since the flash cart are on rampant right now. Maybe their motive behind this new DSI release is to stop the use of flash cart, who knows?

Perhaps so, but seeing that DSL has the Slot 2 and DSi doesn't (and as I mentioned, some games use the Slot 2)....they might just keep the DSL going for just a while longer.

Ah. They changed the volume button. Not that i care. But did they change the brightness to be like the PSP? I hate not being able to change the brightness during games.

One things i like to know is why all the companies add the letter 'i' to their products to make it cool?

at least they added it to the end rather than the head.
Imagine. iDS. heh.

I think that many of the extensions that tried to use the GBA slot aren't "must have". Its an interesting direction for the DS.
Its kinda interesting tho, essentially, minus the camera and double touch screen, the DSi feels like nintendo's way of trying to venturing into portable applications, the realm of homebrew.

Corez should do a bulk for this once it is available on Amazon usa, haha.
