Nintendo announces Nintendo DSi
Quote:
Nintendo's Media Summit has just thrown us its first juicy bone of the night, and it's a big one. As was previously rumored, Satoru Iwata has revealed the Nintendo DSi, the direct successor to the DS Lite. Hit the break and refresh for regular updates!
Update 1: The GBA slot is gone (nooo!), while the size has been reduced by 12% or 2.6 millimeters.
Update 2: And we have a 3 Megapixel camera, music playback, and screens that are expanded to 3.25 inches!
Update 3: There's an SD slot also, built-in memory, an on-board browser, and game downloads that use Wii Points! The DSi will come with 1,000 free Wii Points.
Update 4: Correction: make that two cameras!
Update 5: A new download service to accompany WiiWare: DSWare is confirmed. Wow.
Update 6: Get those preorders in, people: the DSi launches on November 1st, and will come in white and black. We look forward to seeing the queues for this. Oh, and it's ¥18,900, or roughly $179.
Update 7: Back to DSWare: apparently, this will be priced at four different price points: free (!), 200 Wii Points, 500 Wii Points, and "premium" (800 Wii Points).
Update 8: The colors for the DSi will be matte black and matte white. Begone, foul fingerprints that have taunted us so!
Update 9: Correction of our correction: there does appear to be only one camera. That's enough for us!
Update 10: Oops, another correction required here, folks. There will be two cameras after all: an external 3 Megapixel versions, and one VGA camera located on the hinge, directed towards the user. Sorry about that! [Thanks, Rika!]
Aaaaand ... that really does seem to be it for now. Commence yaaaaaying. And then hop over to Wii Fanboy for an exciting update on the storage issue!
