First there was the Nintendo DS and then the Nintendo DS Lite. Now there is the Nintendo DSi, which will be released in America and the UK on April 5th, 2009 after first being released back on November 1, 2008 in Japan. The MSRP will be £149.99 and will be available in the colors of blue, black and white.
Those who already have the Nintendo DS Lite may be wondering what the major differences are between what they have and the new Nintendo DSi that is coming out shortly. Although by first glance there may not be many differences that are seen between the two models, upon closer review you will see that there in fact many improvements made to the new Nintendo DSi.
To start with, the Nintendo DSi is twelve percent slimmer then the DS Lite. The screen on the old Nintendo DS Lite was a just 3 inches but the newer version comes with screens that are 3.25 inches. There have also been better and improved speakers installed that means players will receive a much better sound quality for their various games. But the improvements that the Nintendo DSi has over the older version does not stop there.
For the Wii console, Nintendo has two classic Nintendo GameCube games to offer, namely Mario Power Tennis and New Play Control. The enhanced New Play Control- Pikmin game allows players to point the Wii Remote controller at the screen and use it as a cursor, thus making it easy to select either a single Pikmin or an entire fleet of army. If a player tosses Pikmin, they fly wherever the cursor is pointed at. New Play Control Mario Power Tennis has it’s their favorite characters from the Mushroom Kingdom, complete with motion-controlled serves and swings. What is more exciting is that with Wii controls, players can literally swing the Wii Remote controller to hit forehands and backhands and to apply spin as well. Experienced gamers can also attach a Nunchuk controller to imitate real life action.
So whether you are looking into the Nintendo DSi as a first time player or you simply want to upgrade your current model, there are many things to take into consideration. When the Nintendo DSi was first released in Japan, it sold 171,925 units on its first two days of being available to the public according to Media Create. Within one months time a total of 535,379 units sold in Japan. Once the release hit is two-month mark, total unit sales reached 1,280,000 according to Enterbrain.
