Pretty cool, but I just bought a DS lite a few months ago...- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Oct 2, 2008 2:41 am GMTDSi seems pretty crappy to me. A camera instead of a port for GBA games? Why would any [I]gamer[/I] want that? At this point though I guess most gamers own a DS so this one isn't for us. The Wii stuff looks really nice. I hope all those games make it outside of Japan. Punch out and Sin & Punishment 2 are obviously the stand out games.

I'm guessing this DSi must have 12 mb of ram or atleast 8, instead of 4. Considering the bulit in browser. Kind of like the PSP-2000 changing from 32 to 64. Not that this will have any effect on games, just thought it was interesting.
Anyway i'm hyped for Sin and Punishment 2. I would be hyped for Shining Force Feather but considering the previous entries not so much.

XBL GT: EnjoytheSilents PSN: EnjoytheSilents Wii FC: Too long to rememberMy disappointment with the DSi is the lack of the GBA slot but the SD slot with the downloads of DSi ware could be interesting plus they may add-on a GB VC for all GB games and maybe for the other handheld games as well.- Please wait.

DSi sucks. It's better than the DS lite in some ways (camera for games, virtual console) but it's worse in others (battery life, GBA slot). Dont know if I'll get it but probably wont unless they add a GBA slot. DS games shown were all awesome. Sonic and Black night, Klonoa, Murasama all looked amazing.
