Please be cautious when adding information to this article, as rumors and speculation often get confused with fact; avoid any information on this subject which is not confirmed by reliable sources.

The Nintendo DSi is the second redesign of the Nintendo DS, after the DS Lite.

The DSi has more features that appeal to non-gamers, including not one, but two digital cameras, at 0.3 and 3 megapixels for the inner and outer one, respectively. The screens have been resized and are now 8% bigger than those of its predecessor. Nintendo have stated that it will have improved speakers, and will be thinner than the DS Lite.

An SD card slot has been included on this model to store pictures taken, causing the stylus holder to move down. The power button on the original DS has been restored.

Much like the second redesign of the Game Boy Advance did not support Game Boy Color games, the DSi will not support Game Boy Advance games due to the removal of the GBA slot on the system. Due to this, migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games to the Generation IV games through Pal Park will not be possible when playing on the DSi, and playability of the Generation III games, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, and Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire are not possible.

The system will be released in Japan on November 1, 2008 in the colors matte black and white.
