NDSi softwares are not compatible with NDS, do the game developers will still make the game for NDS or just only for NDSi? If so, eventually the NDS users have to buy another NDSi

To a point, the developers would realise that there are currently 70 million plus units of NDS being sold. The games should still be Backwards Compatible with NDS, but they would probably have some extra features if used with the NDSi.

It wouldn't really make sense to not have backwards compatibility with older DS.

i jus buy a NDSL, don scare me

Yah logically true

At the current moment, nothing is confirmed. Nintendo hasn't ruled out anything that leads to NDSi also being region free. So we only need to wait and see what approach will developers take for the execution of the handheld.

if this really true then I'll order DSi from my brother lah.

I hope not.

i want DSi for free...

99% ppl want it too..

NDSi a bit boring already... I want a new handheld with better hardware specs!!

when..?

The Register already confirm that DSi is region-locked, but will run any NDSL games.

Considering that DS firmware can be reflashed without even modding the device, I predict DSi will probably be the same and shops that can "unlock" DSi with hacked firmware to remove region lock will become commonplace. Then it's the same arms race like Sony PSP vs modders. Either that or "reflash kits" to change firmware will become common (the current DS' firmware can be reflashed using a passme and by shorting a contact via a small hole near the battery. If Big N use same system for DSi, then it'll be a piece of cake to reflash).

Of course laa, if the hack comes true, use the hack wisely. Only run import games, dun do piracy

For me, if I have to get a DSi, I'd not mod, but import from US using NCSX or some other online shop, since I mostly interested in US games.

import from US need to pay tax?

anything below the value (or the impression of the kastam officer) of RM500, is not taxable.

no need import~lah... it'll be available in MY.

Yah, but which version, and is it modded? I dun want modded one, and I want NTSC/UC model. Can get?
