The Greatest DS System to Date – The DSi
The world of hand held electronic video games has changed a lot since the original Game Boy system so many years ago. Today, the most popular portable game console has long been the Nintendo DS, especially among children and people who prefer Nintendo games over those offered by its primary competitor, the Sony PSP. Nintendo fans are sure to rejoice, then, with the many great new features of the latest version of the DS: the Nintendo DSi.
Like previous versions of the DS, the DSi features a durable clam shell design and two interior LCD screens. It makes sense, since these features are some of the biggest selling points of the portable system. The plastic clam shell helps the system withstand a great deal of abuse – great for clumsy young fingers and hands; the two screens allow for greater game play flexibility and many very cool options. Therefore, fans of the original incarnations of the Nintendo DS will not be disappointed by the basic layout of this latest system.
The Nintendo DSi, has also included a good deal of new features that will excite long time fans, as well as gain new ones. In keeping up with their competition, Sony PSP, Nintendo has equipped the DSi with wireless capabilities, from any WiFi “hot spot”.
The DSi features two screens, as all other versions did, but the screens are larger making for clearer graphics. It also has one of the biggest changes yet, two separate cameras! One is located on the hinge facing the user and the other is on the outer shell. The system can be used to take pictures, which can be stored on SD cards, inserted in the slots located on the back.
Like Nintendo Wii, you can use the DSi to log on to a “DS Shop” and purchase games, and more using “Nintendo Points”. This enables players to install game updates, purchase entirely new games, or try out different kinds of applications. This feature is sure to please any DS fan. With the DSi, Nintendo now offers one of the most vigorous handheld system ever.
