Following the launch of the incredibly successful Nintendo DS Lite in June 2006, Nintendo has now released its latest portable games console – the Nintendo DSi.
So what’s new in Nintendo’s latest console, and how does the new version differ from the original DS Lite?
Firstly,
as announced by Nintendo, the latest model does not feature a GBA port,
which, to the disappointment of many a music fan, means it cannot be
used to play Guitar Hero.
The
new DSi does, however, have a more compact design, and although this
means slightly less battery life, it can still be played for a maximum
of 14 hours per charge.
The two screens have been enhanced, boasting a bigger size and improved colour quality for even greater gaming. In fact, that slightly pinkish tint characteristic to DS Lite screens has now made way for sharper colours with a purer, crisper white.
Brand
new features in the DSi include wireless connectivity and direct access
to the Nintendo DSi online shop for news and updates, or for
downloading games or applications for the console.
The
new model can also take photos with lenses both on the inside and
outside of the console. You can then touch up your shots using the
built-in photo-editing application and share them via a wireless
network or by saving them to an SD card.
Moreover,
you can now import AAC-format music to your DSi, although this will
require any MP3 tracks to be converted or reformatted. Plus, with the
new music studio feature, you can edit all your tracks and audio
recordings directly on the console.
The
Nintendo DSi boasts enhanced features and brand new ones, with a handy
stylus allowing you to browse using the touch screen, wireless
connectivity, an integrated sound studio, a digital camera with a photo
editing application, improved picture quality, and SD storage.
All
this new technology more than compensates for the slight reduction in
battery life and lack of GBA port. Plus, with boosted interactivity and
an even easier-to-use design, the new DSi is a compact console that has
something for everyone.
