Yes. They also just announced Punch Out for the Wii. Also, Sin & Punishment 2.

DO WANT

Watch me shovel money in their general direction

 

[Bad^Hat]

I hear they replaced the GBA slot with a slot that dispenses "Nintendo dollars," a new currency which will single-handedly repair the world's economy through DS sales.

The website shows a nice comparison of the new DSi and DS lite.

Damn, the black one looks awesome. I need a new one anyway, gave my Lite to my brother.

First I wondered why we needed two screens. I still do.

Now I wonder why we need a flipping camera. This is getting out of hand. If I wanted to take pictures I'd buy a damn digital camera. And no, I don't want to play silly "camera games" while I ride the bus. It's getting out of ****ing hand. Nintendo is so gimmick lately.

 

[Musk]

I'll put it on the hmmm list.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Hell, I'm a hypocrite. I just saw some footage of final fantasy, chrono trigger, ace attorney and some new harvest moon game being played on one and got a huge nerd boner.

warning: the following video is so otaku your eyes will bleed

 

[ailevation]

Finally, I have an excuse to pass my current DS to my girl and pick this new one up.

 

[Stigmata]

I'm not getting one until they release it in Coral Pink.









Don't look at me like that.

 

[Jintor]

Zomg

ZOMG ZOMG

ZOMG

DO WANT

Interesting move, hmmmm.....:|

 

[VirusType2]

always kinda wanted a DS for some reason. Maybe they will finally lower the price of the older DS

 

[SpiderPig]

No GBA Slot? That sucks.

 

[ríomhaire]

I don't really care about no GBA slot, if I want to play GBA games I can still use my DS. On the other hand other than adding touch compatablity to the other screen this does little to change gameplay mechanics. I doubt that the camera will be put to great use. It'll probably be used less than the microphone is now. I don't want to pay extra money for a media device, I want a games platform. Is there any word on how much more powerful this is than the DS, or is it the same specs?

 

[Reginald]

Same specs.


But hot damn, there are some good looking DS games coming out. I play mine more than my Wii nowadays.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Yup. Getting one. I end up getting just about every iteration of Nintendo's handhelds. Good times. That extra onboard memory will do a lot for my scummVM dreams.

 

[Kyorisu]

And people bashed Sony for useless features.

 

[Jintor]

But Nintendo makes useful useless features.

Possibly the other way round.
