New DSi with even larger screen

[darcotrigger]

Sounds like it'll be out in Japan this year with a 4" screen instead of the 3 1/4" screen on the current model and it will sell for the same price as the current model.

Holy run-on sentence Badman.

PS: God damn it. Fuck you Nintendo, FUCK YOU. I refuse to upgrade!!! Why not put up some decent DSiware instead of revamping the damn thing already?

 

[Dio Brando]

Is that the only difference? That kind of seems pointless.

 

[OldSchoolGamer]

If this is true I might actually consider picking one up as I still have a release day original DS. But I also agree there is no need to make a unit w/ just a larger screen when they JUST brought out the DSi.

Lets see how this goes

 

[Xian Xi]

Sell your current one before the word gets out.

 

[OldSchoolGamer]

Haha, original DS's are worthless already....if this does release...I don't think it will affect the price of the original much if anything.

This it typical Nintendo tactics. Release some new hardware, then about a year later, make some minor changes(color, screen/s...) and rerelease it. I've got a buddy that bought new Nintendo portables only to have them release a new version months after he upgraded. This happened to him like three generations of hardware in a row, he was pissed.

This is why I'm still on my original/fat DS. It's still a DS that plays DS games, I really don't need anything else (but omg those screens are so nice ).

IIRC it was actually you that was selling GBA SPs a few years ago, and a few months later the backlit ones came out (I think I bought it before the backlit ones were announced). IIRC I got a good deal and used my SP like razy, but I was (slightly) bummed that I could have gotten a better model if I'd only waited.

Pretty big.

 

[DanAdamKOF]

Still the same resolution, right? I prefer my pixels as small as legibly possible anyway.

Nintendo is trying to cater to the older generation in Japan as elderly complained that the DS/DSi screen is too small.

Nintendo is considering to bring the "bigger" DSi to the US market. The price tag is around $200 USD.

Thank god, my giant gaijin hands will no longer strain!

i have to say that i'm interested but i might as well wait for the next one they release . i guess you have to stop and make a purchase sometime, but with the frequency at which they're releasing these different models, it just makes me want to wait.

 

[Breetai]

It also comes with a larger, pen-sized, stylus!

I'm happy with my DSlite.

Is this coming out in the U.S. anytime soon? I might bite the bullet and finally buy a DS.

 

[Cavalry]

I can't wait til you actually get to stand on the screen.. the track games will be amazing!


but really... what are you doing to me Nintendo! Theres tons of crap i'm looking to get from them coming up in the near future. I just got a dsi, but geez, who am I kidding.. I'll be getting the bigger version when it comes out.

Part of me wants it because of that sexy-large screen.

Another part of me wonders what the battery life will be?

Five, maybe six hours on medium brightness?

Well, Nintendo said it would be 13-18 hours on low brightness, which is considerably better than the DSi on the same settings.

As for me, I'd actually think about getting this... I still have a fatty DS too, and it'd be nice to have a fancy schmancy new one. I wouldn't buy it 'til the price came down though (i.e. in two years, at least).

 

[Diggerman]

If only it had a GBA slot instead of those stupid, useless cameras... *sigh*

 

[Clessy]

Im still pretty sure my favorite design is the DS lite.

Im the guy who's looking for a DS lite thats the size of 2 gba micros.

 

[fenikso]

Makes me glad I stuck with my Lite. I'll probably get this if it comes out over here.

[marsteam]

wow... it's as wide as a PSP! even closed, it dwarfs the PSP?!

 

[rarehero]

Bigger than the psp?
I'm actually content with the size of the ds as it is.
Not really sold on it.

Bigger screen is good. Now it just needs better graphics to go with the larger screen.
