![]() You've surely heard it rumored around the 'net the past few days. A new DSi with larger screens. Nintendo denied it briefly, but today it's officially appeared on Nintendo of Japan's website, and the newly designed DSi will actually be on sale in just 3 weeks from now on November 21st. So what sets this thing apart from the previous DSi? Well, larger screens for starters. It has a pen-sized stylus as well, and a larger battery. But probably the biggest change is the physical size of the unit.. it's ginormous! It's also releasing in a wine-red sort of color, surely designed to appeal to older, more civilized gamers. It will also cost more than the standard DSi, so perhaps we'll still have the choice of the smaller model. ![]() We love the idea of the larger screens, but we feel like the standard-sized DSi had plenty of frame to it that could have been used to fit them.. though it's possible that the larger screen really does need the larger battery to go with it. Overall we think making the DSi less portable is a step backwards.. but like all Nintendo products, we're sure they'll have great success with it.. if not with the traveling youngsters, then perhaps with the older sit-on-the-couch-and-do-a-crossword types. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Wow. This is probably the busiest Download Monday ever across all of Nintendo's various download services. This is largely due to the arrival of *five* Domo games on the DSiware service. Don't fret though, if you're into that, because each of them are only 200 points.
Wow, remember this feature? Yes, it's been quite some time since we featured a TGIF Tattoo, but we're going to be back on it for a bit since it always seemed to be popular.
Here's an amazing PSA from back in the NES's heyday featuring none other than Captain Lou Albano sporting his Mario cap telling kids to stay off drugs. It aired on the now defunct(or at least re-branded "Philly57") to coincide with the also defun ..continue reading Mario sez: Do Drugs, Go To Hell
We thought of including this video in a review roundup for Scribblenauts, but we can never really take Yahtzee seriously enough to consider these "reviews". |
