This year: Nintendo releasing new NDSi with larger screen

Almost all Nintendo gaming news site are hot with this report :D:

KotakuReport: Nintendo Releasing New DSi With Larger Screens For Japan This YearThere's a new Nintendo DSi coming. And it's coming this year to Japan, boasting a larger 4" screen and... well, a larger 4" screen, according to a report from the reliable Nikkei news service.According to that report, which appeared in the Nikkei newspaper and has since made its way online, the price for the new, larger DSi will remain the same, 18900 yen. The large screen DSi, three-quarters of an inch larger than the current model, is said to be aimed at an older market, the type who likes big buttons on their telephones and large print books.While the jumbo Nintendo DSi is planned to hit Japan this year, says the Nikkei, a release elsewhere is said to be under discussion. Nintendo announced the original DSi in a similar fashion, officially unveiling the device last October then releasing it domestically before the end of the year.We're checking in with Nintendo of America for comment and will update if they have anything interesting or confirming to say.

Ah christ...I HAVE THE 6TH DSI IN AUSTRALIA AND NOW YET ANOTHER REVISION IS COMING!...god dam it :(I believe it'll be using the same set up-at most just a firmware update for the cards required-it's just bigger.

Soo... another reason why the new Nvidia DS is not going to appear so soon :)

Who is even goin to buy it? Eveyone already either got a DSi ar stuck with a phat/lite.

I'm sticking with my lite until the true sucessor arrives.

A larger screen is tempting, but I'm satisfied with my DS lite so I won't buy it unless I break my DS or something :/

Another one???!!! I agree with groh, might as well wait for the true successor, one with greater graphics!

@_@ I'll continue rocking my launch day phat DS. If it's not broke, I ain't replacing it.

fat Ds -> smaller ds lite
Dsi -> fatter Dsi
makes sense

Yeah, patience is a virtue. I bought my first DS 2 years ago, a black DS lite. The first flashcart I bought is the one I still use today - the EDGE, hasn't failed me yet. I didn't do it intentionally, but I "let" the modding teams fix up most of the bugs and stuff. I also already anticipated the DS Lite's arrival - I've been very cautious about buying "the newest" product ever since the Gameboy SP with the brighter screen came out.
Besides, nothing DSi exclusive has been released yet that compels me to buy a DSi - a low grade camera is nothing compared to the slot 2 for GBA carts.

Rysio · #3the new Nvidia DS is not going to appear so soon :)

What's that?

http://kotaku.com/5381257/nvidia-chip-to-power-new-nintendo-dsThat. It's just a preclude to the possible announcement of a new DS. IMO, ATI did a fine job with the Gamecube.

Thats just milking it now nintendo :/ seriously I see this worse then the game boy micro
I'm already screwed with DSi I aint gonna buy another dsi I'm deffinitely not gonna fall into nintendo's little trick this time. Nintendo DS2 is what I'm gonna wait for.

hahahahaha · #4Who is even goin to buy it? Eveyone already either got a DSi ar stuck with a phat/lite.

I am stuck with ALL the 3... But i hear rumors that Nintendo is making 3 DS's at ONE time!

I really hate the DSi. You can't play Guitar Hero games and other games that require the slot A. Damn!

Totally, officially announced.I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE FOURTH REVISION.Seriously, this is getting to the point of silly. The PSP has quite a bit of revisions, although I'm not considering the PSP3000 a huge revision, and the PSPGo was actually something totally new for the gaming and tech world.This DSi LL is just a DSi with a larger screen and three preloaded DSi Ware games.

lol bigger screen DSi.... people who buy that are really a sucker.....

I don't think so, considering that there's still people without a DS. Me and my hubby still have our large DS'.

Replying to #17

Sure. If people wait when Nintendo released ALL the DSi's, Nintendo has more change to make another upgrade for the first DSi, 2th, 3th and 4th to make them look the same, but not as large screen!

Yoshi, to be honest, I have no clue what you meant.If you meant that Nintendo has to make a whole new handheld system (or a huge change) for the DS so that there can be another revision or a new iteration. Then yes. I hope they make a new handheld system a la Gameboy (like Gameboy Color to GBA). Bump up the graphics and add a few new things (like multi touch) and backwards compatibility for the DS, then we're set for a new handheld.This is the most revisions Nintendo have done and it's getting a little silly, if anything this means that a new system is coming, just like how soon after the Gameboy Advanced Micro, the DS was on the horizon.I just realized the Gameboy Color didn't have any revisions, weird.

Fun stylus, does it work on an HDBoard? (Heutink Digital Board?)

If the hardware is the same, they could make a upgrade for all at once, if thats true, its no rumor. The DSi has hardware where you say the F word to! DS's i know who are gonna be out: NVIDEA DSi, This topics DSi, PROCESSOR DSi and a DSi unknown what theres new.
