Nintendo DSi
Today Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, annouced a new entry in the Ds family. The Nintendo DSi is the response to the recently launched iphone. In fact, the DSi will have a 3 megapixel camera a SD card slot to save music of pictures, it’s thinner and it has wider screens. It’ll also benefit of a new DSWare service similar to WiiWare ant it’s connectivity with the Nintendo Wii will be enhanced. The downside are the removal of the GBA slot and a less durable battery.
Personally, I’d like to see which games are going to support these new features, because (as always) I’m not going to pay for something that doesn’t offer anything new compared to what I already have. Let’s hope for the rumored Metroid Dread or a new 2D, top-view, Zelda like Four Swords. Only time will tell.

New DS! I think the camera is stupid. We already have so many freakin things with cameras adding it to the DS was retarded. There are those people who need to take pictures with everything, I’m just not one of those people. The SD card I don’t mind but once again not needed and possible waste to me. The less durable battery is a pretty nasty downfall, it already seems the battery doesn’t last long for the DS but that is alright because it’s rarely unplugged from wall lol. I admit as of right now I am not buying the DSi. The only way I will buy it is as you mentioned, you won’t buy if they don’t offer anything new. A new 2D top-view Zelda would be awesome…
… removal of the GBA slot… argh!
The announcement of the DSi was a pleasent disappointment.

I actually don’t have a mp3 player (beside my cumbersome pc) and I don’t have a cell phone with camera nor a proper digital camera so I might buy the DSi if I would really need these things. Sadly, if I have to buy a camera I would buy a Nikon and if I needed a mp3 player I would buy an iPod so… no DSi anyhow.
