DSi LL announcement info and thoughts

[James Elles]

Rumors up to now were 4" screen. It's 4.2 inches. That's oddly nice to hear. We typically don't get more like that.

Saw this on Gonintendo.

As you can see below it also comes with a much bigger stylus. This is marketed directly at adults.


I'm currently raising false hope that they'll bring a portable Virtual console to relase along side this. I'd love that. Anyway, looks good. That bigger screen combined with all the advancements that came with the DSI like the speakers being 300% something louder, etc... I will be getting this

I currently have a gold Zelda DS Lite which i'll be keeping with a little attachment that lets me play all my GBA games on one cart, which I do own BTW so this won't be a trade up this will be an along side. Although my DS lite will be a dedicated GBA machine once I get this.

I think this makes more better sence than then GBA Micro. I definetly will get this. It's just a question of when really. I'd like to play games I already own on a screen that's 4.2 inches versus 3. That's a good boost in size.

I believe this new DS is for old people that can't see well or grip the stylus. I could have sworn I read that a while back on CNet.
