Nintendo DSi Console

Nintendo have been reworking their handheld console, with the release of the DSi in Japan, people have been welcoming almost every new aspect of it. On the hardware side, there are a lot of changes that can easily improve the gaming experience. Also with new software features, the handheld console Nintendo made is really improving itself with every new model being released.

In Japan, the Nintendo DSi has already been released. With the public having a great positive response to it, the sales skyrocketed and sold 170,000+ of units within the first two days of release. The immense acceptance by the public would certainly mean more developers are making games for it which further increases its longevity within the market.

On the most noticeable changes, there is another camera added. This can have a great gaming advantage to entertainment aspect advantage in which can also be synced with the Nintendo Wii when storing pictures.

The overall size has been minimized. The Nintendo DSi console is 12% slimmer. This can always translate to more portability as it can squeeze through pockets without worries. The DS iterations are all made in a clamshell design which can easily withstand even with the roughest handling due to its screen protection.

The next is the new and bigger screen. The DSi console has two screens, of which it was formerly 3 inches in size, Nintendo added a quarter of an inch to make it better to view the media on the screen, keep in mind that there are two screens that have been upsized. Another side note is that there are now 5 brightness settings as opposed to the 4 settings on the DS Lite.

Another advantage is on the external casing. Since the DS Lite has a glossy screen, Nintendo wanted to eliminate the simple fingerprints to be shown. Their response is to make a matte finish on the case, eliminating the chances of getting smudgy with fingerprints.

Within the software side, Nintendo added the feature of music playback. Although it can only support AAC files, it?s a great start. As this can easily make the device become a personal media player, it can also store pictures and save other data with its built-in 256mb internal memory. The Nintendo DSi?s ram has been quadrupled; it has now 16mb of ram to easily handle the more challenging tasks that the software demands.

In addition to other features, the Nintendo DSi console also offers WPA 1 and WPA 2 support. There is also the internet store which is called the DSi shop to purchase add-ons to software and games.

Making use of the advantages is the goal of the new hardware and software features. Nintendo had been improving their handheld console from customer feedbacks and engineering assessments to further improve their products.

One thing that?s to be the disadvantage of the whole this is that it would only be sold worldwide outside Japan in April 2-5, 2009, otherwise, everything is looking pretty solid with the next iteration of a great handheld.
