Nintendo announces the New DSi handheld


Everyone was expecting it, today they confirmed it. Nintendo has announced the new Nintendo DSi. ("i" huh fellas? Nice one...)

So far, the specs look pretty good. 2 cameras (one is 3 megapixel, the other is vga resolution), sd card, larger 3.25 inch screens, thinner casing, no more GBA slot, built in web browsing. But the strangest and possibly best new addition so far is the internal storage. After all the hoo-hah recently, its seems like the last thing Nintendo would want on their console is a hard drive.

They have also announced the DSi store, which can be accessed thru your DSi's web browser to download games, much the same as Wiiware on the Wii.

Apart from that, it still just looks like a DS Lite, which is not necessarily a bad thing as the Lites look slick as.

Who wants one?!

Mr Metal does :)
