Hey guys! Its been months since I posted a post about the new Nintendo DSi. Now that the US version is already out, let me encourage you to buy one by reading a review made by my friend Kiko M.
Nintendo finally released the 3rd iteration of their best selling handheld to date, the Nintendo DS. This time, they have taken a lot of things in consideration in order to make the next unit as competitive as possible in the handheld wars.. Thus, the Nintendo DSi was born..
Nintendo stated that they created the DSi with the intention of not to replace the DSLite, but to go side by side with it.. but we all know that sooner or later, the DSLite will share the same fate of its older brother, the Nintendo DS Phat..
Most gamers are still skeptic about the Nintendo DSi for it ditched one feature that most current Nintendo DS owners take advantage of — the slot 2, aka the GBA Slot.. I frowned upon this fact when I first heard about it.. We all know that there are some DS games that utilizes this, one game worth mentioning is Guitar Hero On Tour.. Though Activision confirmed that they are currently making a peripheral that will be compatible on the DSi.. as to how will they pull it off, only time can tell..
Also, the removal of the said slot eliminates the possibility of playing GBA games.. But since it has been confirmed that the DSi has a more powerful processor and 16MB of RAM, will we see downloadable GBA games in the future? Much like the wii’s Virtual Console I guess.. ahh.. the possibilities are endless..
