Nintendo DSi Console

Playing on my DSi, it makes time just fly. I love my console so much; I think the screen is great to touch. There are so many games; I like to play with James. If you can’t find anything to play, you can just go away. I preoreded my DSi console, and got it before they were all sol-d. The best thing about it is, I don’t need to take a wizz. I’m going to keep it on, at least until I’m gone. Finished all my games last night, I think I’m losing my sight. There still isn’t anything left to play, I might just go out today.

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.

As time goes by, handheld consoles are being recreated to perfection, often having many modifications to suit the needs of its users. The Nintendo DSi console has been one of the company’s pride and been positively embraced by the public. Revisions are all the rage in handhelds these days, but with all of the neat features, there is something that needs to be sacrificed.

With the release of the DSi console in Japan, its initial sales skyrocketed, even after just two days of being on store shelves; it sold 170,000+ units of the 200,000 units shipped. That’s a pretty feat that is synonymous to a good product.

The Nintendo DSi has been remodeled to have many hardware features. One of which is the addition of another camera. The .3 megapixel cameras found of either side of the console can be used in games and taking pictures. The images can then be manipulated and added with effects directly from the DSi. There is also the option to sync the images on the Wii, making it rich in features.

The size of the Nintendo DSi console has been lessened. It is now 12% smaller compared to previous a mode which translates to 2.6mm.

Another modification is the upgraded sound quality of the speakers. It may still sound less but it is definitely upped in quality because audio playback has been implemented. AAC music tracks can be played from the handheld console, doubling it as a music player.

Next are the bigger screen sizes of the DSi consoles. The size of the screen is noticeably bigger than its past models. The unit has now 3.25 inches of screen size compared to the 3 inches on older models.

There is also a significant relocation of the power switch. The switch also offers an additional feature in which it can be used to soft reset the console and switch games on the fly, making it better to swap games without powering it off.

Ram has now been upgraded to 16 MB. This figure is four times bigger than the previous models. There is also the storage of 256mb to store downloaded content, images, and firmware update which is anew to this model of Nintendo’s DS handhelds.

Although not a good feature in itself, all of the added enhancements can lead to more power drain, the battery life is not significantly lesser. The normal DS Lite battery life is 15-19 hours of gameplay but the new Nintendo DSi only plays 9-14 hours. This may be a bad aftertaste of good features but it can be negligible enough considering its rival, the Sony PSP only has a miniscule battery endurance of about 5 hours.

Great things can come at the right time. Although you can purchase a Japanese DSi consoles, the rest of the world still doesn’t have official regional versions which means you need to purchase the games specified for its region, in this case, you can only play Japanese games. All of these great features can be had in just a few months away. The worldwide launch of the Nintendo DSi will be on April 2-5, 2009.

Gaming on the new handheld model has never been better. There are numerous tweaks to the hardware and complimented by better software to make sure the DSi console experience will be greater than compared to its previous models.

Whether you are playing Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario DS, and many more, it is better to play on the new Nintendo DSi mainly to its screen size. It has now been upgraded to 3.25 inches compared to the previous 3 inches screen size. If you are playing Indiana Jones, Star Wars Complete Saga, Zelda phantom hourglass, and many games, you can easily have more space on the screen as making use of the touch screen features can be better due to the screen size.

All of the previous games that are released are compatible on the new DSi console. Also with the addition of improved speakers, the games audio effects can be clearer and crisper. Gaming with the Nintendo DS is also better when played outdoors due to its 5 settings of brightness as opposed to 4 settings on previous models.

Games can also come from downloadable content. With the new DSi online store, users can now purchase applications and games directly from the net and save the content though the SD card on in the internal 256MB memory.

With pertaining to a greater gaming experience, there is an additional camera added which can then be used on games that require them. Nintendo has been known for its gamble on new input features as opposed to traditional input controls. This is evident on the Wii consoles’ nunchucks and the DS’s touch screen. Presently, Nintendo has been the best that have been making use of the new feature to be implemented in games.

With its rivals such as the Sony PSP and albeit not being a real handheld console, the iPhone, both are miles away from the gameplay features of the DS handhelds. With this edge over other handheld gaming platforms, they have constantly improving their best product to be used for a better gaming experience.

Whether you want to play Final Fantasy series of games, Pokemon games, Castlevania series of games, or even Cake Mania, the gaming experience is simply better and more enjoyable with a good speaker, brighter and bigger screen, and other enhancements.

There are also downsides to the new iteration of DS handhelds. One this is that there is a significant reduction in battery life but still longer than its rival, the Sony PSP. Also the Game Boy cartridge slot has now been removed, you can now say goodbye to your past games and you will be forced to play newer ones.

Gaming with the Nintendo DSi console is only months away from the release; you can also purchase an import Japanese version that only plays games on its designated region. But if you really want English-language games, you can wait till April 2-5, 2009 for the worldwide release of the best handheld gaming console to date.

New colours of have been announced. It’s no big surprise that new colours were on the way but now Nintendo has confirmed what the first new batch of colour for the console will be. The Pink DSi is expected to be the biggest seller of the three new colours. When looking at the most searched for words in Google, Pink DSi far out ranks any other colour. Two other nice looking colours are the Green DSi and the Blue DSi.

As nice as the new colours look, there’s no real reason to wait for them rather than ordering the black or white versions. These colours have only been announced in Japan and it may not be until 2010 that they appear in this country.

We all know that gadgets require subtle handling; anything it touches can be a potential damage maker. DSi Consoles are now available in Japan and soon the rest of the world, if you have purchased them or you have a DS Lite, you can follow these easy steps to prevent damaging your beloved handheld console.

First up in preventive measures is always purchase a carrying case with your DS. It may be bulky but this can easily protect the shell of the handheld. Even if the DS is sturdy enough, it can also be prone to scratches. You don’t want to have scratches on a gaming device because you usually bring it anywhere. This is a must especially for traveling. There can be hard shell carrying cases for the DS. Even for other cases, it can easily fit due to its small size. The upcoming DSi consoles are even slimmer. It is 12% smaller compared to the DS Lite, making it more manageable to fit in a small carrying case.

Another tip is to but a screen protector. Even if it is a touch screen, it always needs protection. You can expect it to get scratches as time goes by with endless presses from your fingers and the stylus. One thing to take note of, the screen protector is prone to catching dust particles during installation. Make sure you apply it in a room where there is no breeze or a probability of getting dust particles, once it stuck, consider them wasted as you can’t remove it and will have fingerprints upon installation. Let someone do it if you are in doubt in pulling it off as it takes precision to mount them, any errors will lead to a discarded screen protector.

In selected stores and some online, there are invisible protectors that can help alleviate those nasty scratches. There are full body kits in which you can assure that your DS Lite or DSi is still in its pristine condition albeit being tugged inside your pocket.

There is also the option of purchasing armor for your DS. Although it may be bulky, they provide excellent protection. They can be snapped on without having to use any tools.

Another is to opt for membrane-like protectors. This plastic protection can alleviate scratching. Although you can never all parts of the DS, it can also help even in small parts and preserving its spotless cosmetic appearance.

If you really are a little clumsy, consider purchasing a black DS. This will lessen the sights of blemishes or scratches. Fortunately, the new DSi console will come in a matte finish; this can lessen the sight of fingerprints and will likely get less noticeable scratches.

Wear and tear is a real pain sometimes, with having to reinforce the handheld console, it can easily breeze through months and even years of use without having too much scratches. With enough protection methods, you can choose which are less bothersome to you. Although there is nothing better than handling a DS Lite or Nintendo DSi consoles without protections, it may better be safe than sorry especially if you still don’t have a budget to buy an extra unit if it gets damaged.

Most stores are selling the DSi console for the same price because they all know it will sell out. The best way to make sure you are really getting the best price is to use a price comparison website which specialises in the product you looking for such as www.nintendo-dsi-consoles.co.uk. Click there and see where the price is lowest. They also have some good points on the site about why it’s a good idea to buy from Amazon.co.uk, including their preorder lowest price guarantee, the fact they deliver on the release date and they are usually cheapest.

I’ve just been reading about the history of Nintendo on Wikipeida. I’m pleased to hear that for a company who are annoyingly family orientated they’re not all whiter than white. In the past, believe it or not, they ran a chain of “love hotels”.

Other surprises include the fact they were also a taxi firm and most surprisingly to me Nintendo began life in 1889. From a playing card company to the DSi console, they’ve seen a lot of changes but I think they should consider moving back into the love hotel industry.

The Nintendo DSi console is set to be released in Australia, Europe, and the United States in early April 2009. And as people reserve their systems and think about the excitement of getting a new Nintendo console, many people are also wondering what games will be available for the Nintendo DSi, and what games might be coming in the future.

Nintendo DSi consoles are compatible with all existing Nintendo DS games. This gives Nintendo DSi users a wide variety of games even before the new system is released. From adventure games to racing games to cooking guides, there’s something for everyone who wants to play.

The incorporation of the DSi Shop also means downloadable games for the Nintendo DSi console, in much the same way that Nintendo Wii players can download games from the Wii Shop Channel. The DSiWare games, as they’re known, include titles like Paper Airplane, Solitaire DSi, UNO, and WarioWare: Snapped! for the Nintendo DSi.

One aspect of game play that some may feel they’re losing with the Nintendo DSi is due to the elimination of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance game slot in the new design. The decision was made to improve portability, but it also means Nintendo DSi consoles are not backward compatible the way the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DS Lite are. This also means the Nintendo DSi is not compatible with the Nintendo DS RumblePak or the grip used to play Guitar Hero: On Tour and Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades.

One of the features added to the Nintendo DSi console is the incorporation of two cameras. Currently, these cameras are fun for taking pictures, but Nintendo may decide to create games for the Nintendo DSi that utilize facial or motion recognition for game play. This would expand on the touch screen already in use by Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi consoles, and would take the motion sensitive games of the Nintendo Wii a step further. This is just one example of the technological advances of video games that make them fun for a lot of people.

Nintendo has done a good job appealing to a wide demographic with its games. Everyone who wants to try the systems can find a game they enjoy. The DSi is no different. Nintendo is sure to continue releasing games that appeal to a wide variety of players, and continue releasing games that take advantage of the cutting-edge technology used to develop the game consoles.

The Nintendo DSi is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 5, 2009 for $169.99. It will be available in matte black or matte blue. In the UK it will be available on the 3rd of April for £150.
