Nintendo officially reveals the DSi LL - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Goten · 10-29-2009, 06:09 AM

Early adopter burning FTW! Nintendo has announced that, less than a year after the launch of the DSi, a brand new, bigger, better DSi is on the way. We had already heard that a DSi with a bigger screen was coming, but today we have been given the new system's name, as well as the first images and specs.
The DSi LL will be getting a chunkier stylus, but aside from that, standalone pics of the system don't make it look any different from your average DSi. However, put it next to an older model and the significant size difference is clear. The DSi LL is ludicrously larger than the DSi.
The DSi LL will launch with three colors -- dark brown, wine red, and natural white. Nintendo has confirmed that the new version will be more expensive than the original DSi, due to its size. At least in Japan, the LL will ship with some DSiWare already loaded into the internal memory, but details about international launches are thin on the ground for right now (although a Euro release is confirmed).
If you want more information than you need, the DSi LL is 161x91.4x21.2mm in size and weighs 314g. It also has around two hours of extra battery life compared to the DSi.
So there you are. Sorry if you already bought a DSi, but Nintendo has a better one now. The best part is, if you bought DSiWare games for your original DSi, you can't upgrade without losing those games. Gotta love Nintendo and its ability to release ten billion versions of one handheld.

Just gotta wait till they launch a hand-held that doesn't have 'DS' anywhere in the name. Then you know what you've got will last a while.

nelo · 10-29-2009, 08:03 AM

So they make it bigger and fatter and they still can't add a gba slot???

That is just total fail right now.

I am so glad I do not own a dsi right now.

Xander · 10-29-2009, 11:43 AM

Well seeing as there is virtually no difference between the current DSi and this new update, I think I'll be keeping my DSi right now.

It's strange though, this kind of stunt I expected from Sony.

SuperSonic · 10-29-2009, 11:53 AM

Holy mother of god it's HUGE.

... I think i'd rather have the normal DSi to be honest... ;_;

Isn't the idea of a handheld that you can take it out with you without the need for a suitcase?

Zwei · 10-29-2009, 12:02 PM

Ehhhhh, Ill keep my DSi that I have right now. Men, dont like the size of this so called "new version." 2 hours of extra battery is nice though. Id like some dsiware to come with it though if the US released is confirmed.

Meh, srsly. NINTENDO couldnt pick better colors?

Zelda28 · 10-29-2009, 12:09 PM

I'll keep with my DSI. I don't care of it being larger. Though larger battery life would is nice.

Smart · 10-29-2009, 12:56 PM

Pretty lame of Nintendo to release this so soon after the DSi...

...but whatever floats their boat I suppose.

sdf12q · 10-29-2009, 01:07 PM

If that's the only upgrades for the new DSi, I'm just going to buy the original DSi.

HeavenDivine · 10-29-2009, 02:10 PM

Yeah ill rather have the original dsi..

Firestar · 10-29-2009, 02:20 PM

when i read that they were making another one I'm like "Oh my gosh! will you stop it already!". Seriously, why don't they go and hold off on the new system for a while.
