Nintendo DSi LL Announced!

[BlackLightning90]

No purchase for me. I already got a DSi.
Also:

Spoiler

IT'S BIG!

 

[Firus]

The DSi LL will have better viewing angle so if looked from diffrent or in groups you will be able to see it better.

Can someone please explain to me when handheld gaming became a group activity?

Seriously, Nintendo.

 

[Poltergust]

But... I just got a DSi a several months ago. They are releasing an updated one already? I feel robbed. D:

 

[The Real Gamer]

Lawl, costs more than a Wii.

This is ridiculous. I laughed irl when I read this.

First I blamed the casual gamers.
Then I blamed the soccer moms.
Now I have to blame the old people?

Next we'll be blaming babies for the lack of decent Nintendo games...

"Introducing the new DS Jr.! Comes with a bib and a nipple to suck on when your baby gets hungry while playing on the go!"

 

[Smw66466]

They've milked this as much as they can. DSXL will be the short-lasting end to the DS as GBAMicro was to the GBA. Unless of course, we get a DS Advanced. What does DS stand for anyways?

 

[CRASHiC]

Can someone please explain to me when handheld gaming became a group activity?

Seriously, Nintendo.

Come on man, you telling me you never got annoyed trying to show your friend your pokemon when you were little, but getting the screen just right was a pain? I wish I had that 10 years ago.

I don't see why everyone is so surprised with this, I mean, does no one remember this?

This came out a year after the DS and I thought, why? Are they just trying to show off how small they can make it?

Nintendo milks the end of each handheld, so consider this a sign of the DSes end.

 

[Black Waltz]

How many DS's have been released? Over 9000?

 

[metalmonstar]

End of the DS? So the thing that has been topping sales charts for the last 5 years is just going to drop off because a big verion for the elderly comes out?

The DS is doing fine.

On the issue of the topic. I know I am not getting it. I am not elderly. I don't need a larger screen. However, I do wonder whether the elderly demographic really warrants a special release. It will be intersting to see how it sells.

 

[Neo Exdeath]

I don't see why Nintendo needed to re-release the DSi with features it should have already had. I won't buy this, as my DS Lite is working great still.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

My DS Lite is still working great. Plus it has GBA support. I see no need in upgrading to a new DS when the one I have is not only working fine, but is also more compatible than the newer version. Until GBA games aren't worth playing anymore, my current DS Lite will be the one sitting on my table.

 

[Deleted member]

Why can't Nintendo focus on software rather than hardware? Really a slap in the face when a new console announcement is only 7 months from the release date of the previous console.

 

[Lovely]

At least it's not like the Game Boy Micro. >.<

 

[Chill]

GBA-SP-SP+-GBMicro
DS-DSlite-DSi-DSLL

Actually it's right in line to be just like the Micro. XD

 

[Zip.]

ehhhh maybe..
or i can just play shiz on my ds lite and save money.

 

[Firus]

They've milked this as much as they can. DSXL will be the short-lasting end to the DS as GBAMicro was to the GBA. Unless of course, we get a DS Advanced. What does DS stand for anyways?

Dual Screen.

Come on man, you telling me you never got annoyed trying to show your friend your pokemon when you were little, but getting the screen just right was a pain? I wish I had that 10 years ago.

Wait, wait, but if I'm using my DS to show off my Pokémon, then what in the world am I going to use PBR for?

Oh, we remember the Micro. We were just hoping Nintendo wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Until GBA games aren't worth playing anymore, my current DS Lite will be the one sitting on my table.

Dude, Metroid Fusion. GBA games will ALWAYS be worth playing.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't remember the gameboy micro...

I need to get me one of those

 

[§leepy God]

♪ Gameboy Micro only advantage was it had different skins and the backlights were a little brighter than the new SP's. I won't recomend no one to get it unless they it's less than $15, lol. †

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I'll probably just stick with my Lite.

It's my second one and it works fine.

 

[CRASHiC]

Oh, we remember the Micro. We were just hoping Nintendo wouldn't make the same mistake for the ba jillinth millionth time..

until FINALLY we got the gameboy color.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Nintendo's handhelds are starting to remind me of Apple's iPod line. You get one, and within a year or two there are already 5 newer models... -_-;

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently GB Micros are $50-125 on Amazon.com ($50 used)...

Yeah, not spending that for a downgrade

I just think the 20th anniversary one looks cool.

 

[Firus]

until FINALLY we got the gameboy color.

First of all, that would make it the like, THIRD time.

Second of all, that's not an accurate comparison at all. It might help if you knew what those different renditions were instead of (I assume, as the screenshots are exactly the same) ripping them off of Wikipedia.

The red, "Play It Loud!" Game Boy was just the original Game Boy with different colors. In other words, it's no different from the color upgrades that we got recently for the standard DSi.

The Game Boy Pocket was not only smaller and more portable, but it decreased the amount of required batteries from the 4 of the GBO.

The Game Boy Light actually was quite useful, since it offered a backlight (so if you were arguing for it being useless, you'd be calling the SP useless too.) And no one but Japan ever got it, might I add.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ First Game Boy Light, then the Panasonic Q, and now the Black Wii. Why is Japan so stengy? T_T ☆

Not to mention hundreds of thousands of exclusive games.

Come to think of it, since handhelds aren't region locked, you could theoretically import a Game Boy Light. It would just be really expensive.

...BAH. Now I really want to import a Game Boy Light.

 

[Mr. Rogu]

eh, the DS Lite gets the job done for me

 

[Healer]

haha wow I just got the DSi a few months ago, it's gud, i got it cuz my dslite touch screen is ********, it' like tapps to the left where ever i tap, so trauma center+stupid touchscreen
If they're makin a big one, why not just put back the GBA, might as well.
