Nintendo has long been the dominant force in handheld gaming, and today they have announced their newest gadget poised on poisoning the youth of America, The Nintendo DSi, will be released in North American Retail Shops on April 5th, 2009
According to various sources, The Nintendo DSi will be priced at US $169.99 and be available in both Black and a new, model-first color of Blue.
The Nintendo DSi’s claim to fame is its two 0.3 megapixel cameras and downloadable features. The unit introduces an SD Card slot which will work directly with the new DSiWare Shop, a downloadable content directory native to the hardware that will allow DSi Users to download applications, demos, and even possibly full games from an online service using the Nintendo Points currency exchange system that you may already be familiar with if you own the Wii and enjoy Virtual Console Titles.
Quite personally, i have a DS Lite and im not sure if I'll be in on day one to purchase this new revision of the hardware, but im mighty interested in video conferencing with friends while I beat them down in a game of portable online Street Fighter IV. Make it so Nintendo, and youve got a sure sale here.
