I think I'll be sticking to my NDSL, can't see any point in upgrading if I'm gonna lose all the GBA's functionality... And with that, bye bye to Opera DS/Rumble Pack/etc. thingy that depends on SLOT-2 sad.gif

It also looks too similar to the current NDSL tongue.gif

hehe, DSi comes wif a built in web browser

QUOTE(mitodna @ Oct 2 2008, 04:23 PM)
Neat stuff, woot, almost the same pricing with DSL? How I wish that Nintendo is working on Wii HD, by the way, there are news that there is a new better DS coming soon, SD card means that we will getting Virtual Console sort of thing?

I am curious as well. It just mentioned DSi ware, which makes me wonder, original games or portable virtual consoles.

Dual touch screen is awesome. brows.gif

But I still love my current NDSL. cry.gif

hehe, never tot that u still own it, i tot u sold it edy.

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ Oct 2 2008, 06:29 PM)
It is confirmed that there will be only one touchscreen.

A bigger display really complements the whole console, but the display resolution hasn't changed at all, meaning that we would still see even blockier textures. The biggest loss here is the removal of SLOT-2, which obviously caused a lot of worries/tantrums from users relying on it. In short, there will be no rumble pack, no added memory (unless more RAM is built in), and most importantly, no more GBA games.

Also, they have not announced what type of batteries will be used on the DSi. Most speculate that it would share the same battery pack as the Lite, but with the new console being 12% thinner and again, the removal of the GBA slot, there is still a trace of light for a new redesign.

About the camera, this really isn't much to bark about but with a 3.0 megapixel cam, I hope Nintendo decides to be generous and don't throw in a fixed-focus lens. Who knows, games in the future might feature taking objects, and autofocus would be very handy in this case.

Also, the relocation of the power button is a serious mishap. They should have left it where it is on the Lite, and used a button instead of a spring switch.

3 megapixel or 0.3?

Any picture depicting how 3D Picross looks liek? Picross DS is a very nice puzzle game, besides Crossword DS and Sokoban. Most probably get a copy if it's 4 folds better than current Picross.

I dont think activision will let guitar heroes series hinder by the lack of gba slot, hence they will soon come out with their latest peripheral.
