Nintendo pioneered handheld entertainment in the '80s and
famously made it fully mobile and accessible to millions around
the world with the Game Boy and DS video game systems. Now,
Nintendo is taking things to the next level by transforming the
way people access, experience, create and share content with the
new Nintendo DSi system, the third iteration of the world's
best-selling portable video game system. .caption { font-family:

. The System
The Nintendo DSi is a high-powered handheld video game system in
a sleek, folding design-loaded with features designed to create a
unique gaming experience. Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the
DSi features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen
technology, but determined to make portable gaming simultaneously
larger and smaller in all the right places, Nintendo has also
created the DSi with significantly larger screens and an even
slimmer body design than its earlier cousins. Other features
include the ability to snap photos with built-in cameras, edit
and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi
Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From
playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi does it
all.
Features:
The DSi's Two Digital Cameras
The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system are
its two cameras - one camera is situated on the external body
pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the
user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly
interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi
Cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can
manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share
your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present
people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games, and
in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise
creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo
DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two
cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of .
DSi Sound
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application,
which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music
player that allows users to play with their music while they
listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control
the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter
voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between
the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is
also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music
saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.
The DSiWare
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for
the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The
Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with
software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points
directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with
Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to
create software that makes use of the properties and functions of
the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be
available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.
Games and Backwards Compatibility
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play
games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The
system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access
to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that
system. As an example of the quality of games that DSi players
can expect to see both from both Nintendo and third-party game
developers, at the launch of the DSi Nintendo is also releasing
Rhythm Heaven. A wildly popular rhythm game in Japan, where it
has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release in mid 2008,
Rhythm Heaven features catchy tunes, charming characters, and a
wide variety of rhythm games as it makes maximum use of the DSi's
functionality.
What's in the Box
Each DSi comes complete with: one Nintendo DSi System, one
Nintendo DSi stylus, one Nintendo DSi AC power adapter, an easy
start guide, manuals (basic and controls) and a support booklet.
