Nintendo DSi Offically Announced

Yeah, the rumors from last week were true. Today in Japan, Nintendo officially announced the Nintendo DSi, a revamped version of the DSLite, but without a GBA slot. The DSi will feature a larger 3.25 inch screen, two cameras that boast a resolution of 640x480 pixels (VGA) each, and unspecified audio enhancements, according to Wired. In addition to a new SD card slot, the DSi will feature built-in memory for the storage of games and pictures.

The DSi will have a built-in web browser, which can be used to access the DSWare Store, where gamers can download games to their SD card, with Nintendo Points (formerly Wii Points), where games can be bought for free, 200 Points, 500 Points, or 800 Points. In addition, anyone who accesses the DSWare Store before March 2010 will receive 1000 Points (worth $10 USD) free.

The DSi will be available for purchase on November 1st in Japan in both white and matte black colors for 18,900 Yen (about $180 USD), and sometime in Spring 2009 for the US.


Man, no GBA slot? Does that mean I can't play Guitar Hero: On Tour?
