All About Nintendo DSI
In early April, people across the western hemisphere will be lined up to get the Nintendo DSi, the third and newest version of the Nintendo DS. The hand held game console is very similar to its predecessor, the Nintendo DS Lite, but the features new to the Nintendo DSi make it a great improvement.
The Nintendo DSi stays true to its Nintendo roots and remains playful and cartoony which is great for Mario but not so good for pushing forward in the new generation of modern gaming.
These cameras may seem unnecessary right now, but future games for the system could include motion and facial recognition to expand on game play, in addition to using customized pictures as character profile pictures. As technology develops, the cameras could become as important to game play as the controller is now.
The pictures you take can be stored on another new addition to the Nintendo DSi, the hidden SD card slot. It plays AAC audio, and can be used to store downloaded applications from the DSi Shop. The applications range from games to useful tools such as the Moveable Notebook, which lets you make notes and keep them stored for later.
The DSi Shop is like the Wii Shop Channel on the Nintendo Wii. It uses points, called Nintendo Points (previously Wii Points), to “purchase” the applications and download them. The applications range in worth from 200 to 800 points. Applications worth 800 points are labeled “Premium.” In addition, any Nintendo DSi unit that accesses the DSi Shop prior to March 2010 will receive 1,000 free Nintendo Points.
Nintendo also improved the outer shell surface of the DSi console, substituting the glossy finish to a matte finish. This is due to the shiny finish always attracts too much fingerprints.
Next is the relocation of the power switch. It is also replaced with a power button in which the previous DS had. It is now placed on the bottom left of the touch screen. There are also notable features of the new power button. The power button can also be used to soft reset to return to the main menu which can allow the users to play a different game without having to power off the system.
There is also the new DSi shop which is an online store for the handheld console. They can download additional software, games, and other downloadable goodies on the online store. With any new Nintendo DSi console that visited the site before March 2010 receives a free 1,000 Nintendo points which can then be spent for great applications.
