Nintendo’s new DSi XL is 93 percent larger than the regular DSi. While the camera tools, Internet connections and available software remain the same, the new screens measure 4.2 inches diagonally. Also, the “closed unit grew to 6.3 inches wide and 3.6 inches tall.”
The DSi XL comes with three pre-loaded games: “Brain Age Express: Math,” “Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters” and “Photo Clock.” The Nintendo DSi XL will be available March 28.
I knew about this 2 months ago.
I personally thought the DS/DSi was supposed to appeal for its portability. This kinda defeats the purpose.
I know but its supposed to be a
thing they’ld like leave on the
table. I saw the interview at
nintendo.
That is huge. Why would you ever want that. You would never be able to take that traveling, it probably costs a ton.
$240
Why do people make a new DSI? Even tho my DSI does’nt have any extra games on it .
Well now it’s not really a handheld because it won’t fit in your pocket.
This destroys the portibility part.Also it’s bigger, big deal.
I thought that all video game makers would not come out with anything new in 5 years, as I read in the May 2009 article of Boys’ Life.
companies are not making new CONSOLES until later
i thought they werent making anything else but games untill 2014-2015.
THEY WERE REFERING TO SISTEMS LIKE THE WII, PS3 SLIMLINE, AND X-BOX 360 ELITE
so just becasue its TALLER and BIGGER dosent mean its better
i have a regular dsi and its amazing so why pay $20 extra so it can be bigger
your right
AGREED!
why would u want a dsi xl??? I mean, if it is bigger, wouldn’t that make it harder to carry around? And does it really matter if the screen is 1/2 inch bigger??? the normal dsi is fine the way it is. nintendo should make a new handheld, but not just making a newer version of an old one
It’s out!
I would not want this its to big. Whats the point? who cares about a bigger screen?
Do people really need a big DSI?
That thing is awful why would anyone get an un-portable hand-held
I have an original ds and it works just fine. Who needs a dsi/dsi xl. Just another way to earn even more money for the company. When something new comes out kids want it. Do we really need it no? A regular old ds works great and you can even play old gameboy games on it as well as all the new ds games.
to make this portable one must to have a BIG pocket or dosen’t mind carying a bag around.
it probably will be cooler to play games on it but it would be hard to take it on an airplane
I think that the DSi XL would be a rip off. I mean it’s bigger but why does nintendo make another DSi? They should let kids have a handheld, portable system like the psp go or the ds. So people who are reading this, do not get a DSi XL ever. Let Nintendo make a better portable system.
@ cheesy guy 326 I agree!!!
ur right cheese guy the normal dsi is alot better the ‘biggerhandhelds’ are a rip off
maybe it has a thiker case; the regular dsi has a very thin case and will break easily.
It is probably hard to carry. And i wonder if it can process more memory?
This is pointless. A bigger screen? Why!
The point of handhelds is to be small and portable, neither of which is a “6.3 inches wide and 3.6 inches tall” block.
who needs a bigger dsi?
ME 2!!!!!
why does this huge obese nintendo thing have to be more larger….
It seems that it is though the nintendo company is desperate
and doesn’t want to make a new system but instead make it larger
which I think poorly of that
I can tell you why buggati lover. It is because they want to make more money.
Here’s the deal it’s worth $240 , it is even more when you use internet to buy DSi-ware games. It dosent have a slot for GBA games. A DS is around $90 at gamestop, they contain a game slot for both DS and GBA games. there’s no gain in buying a DSi XL
who wants a bigger screen my ds lite works just fine when it breaks im NOT getting this. its kinda cool, but paying 180 at gamestop for 1″ bigger screen than the ds lite is a rip off
my friend has it and the sound is awesomee though,
we don’t need this! I’ve got a perfectly fine DSi which still works like a charm!
ATTENTION:
Do NOT buy this!!!
My girlfriend got it and its a total ripoff!!!!!
