Nintendo DSi
The Nintendo DSi is the second redesign of the Nintendo DS, after the DS Lite. The system will be released in Japan on November 1, 2008 in the colors matte black and white. It will be released in the United States sometime after April 2009.
Changes from Nintendo DS Lite
- 12% thinner than DS Lite
- Screens are 3.25 inches, an increase of .25 from DS Lite
- 0.3-megapizel camera inside the system with a maximum resolution of 640x480
- 3-megapixel camera on the back of the system
- Game Boy Advance slot has been removed
- SD card slot added to transfer photos and music between DSi, Wii and PC
- Music playback for AAC music files
- Enhanced speakers and audio
- DSi online store from which DSi applications can be bought using Nintendo Points
- Free-to-download Opera internet browser available at launch
- Power buttom relocated to below D-Pad
- Stylus relocated to below SD card slot
- New user interface similar to that of Wii
- Integrated Photo Channel and music playback
Dual-slot mode?
Due to the fact that the Game Boy Advance slot is not included in the DSi, migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games to the Generation IV games through Pal Park will not be possible when playing on the DSi. This means that the player cannot complete their Pokédex in Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl or Pokémon Platinum without trading from other games in Generation IV.
Trivia
- Much like the second redesign of the Game Boy Advance did not support Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, the DSi will not support Game Boy Advance games due to the removal of the GBA slot on the system.
