Recently, I posted about a new Nintendo DS that would be on the way soon. Well, there was a new DS recently announced, however, it was not quite how I imagined. The new DS, called, "Nintendo DSi LL" is currently only being released in Europe. What the hell. Let me re-type that name for you. Nintendo DSi LL. Okay Nintendo, let's just keep adding letter to the the DS and see if we can stuff the whole gosh darned alphabet in there. I am quite upset about this development, and let me explain why. The LL is a DSi, with one difference. The screens are much, much bigger. Now, they did not add any extra pixels, so the games will not look any better or anything like that, everything will just be bigger. In other words, this is like those phones and calculators you get for old people when they cannot see the buttons or read the screens anymore. Whats worse, they are charging 220 dollars for this crap! Can you believe that?! It is just nonsense if you ask me. Still, it does support the business plan I mentioned in the last DS post, where I stated that it seems Nintendo is trying to make DS's of many variations, so that no matter what your demographic, you can get the perfect DS for you. Still this really upsets me, as I am going to buy it. Import it from Europe even, just to satisfy my insatiable hunger for Nintendo products. Ugh. At least it comes with 3 DSi downloadable games pre-installed. Sigh.
Anyway, keep in eye out for another DS, as that partnership with Nvidia has yet to bear fruit. I still see a higher graphical quality hand held on the way from Nintendo.
In the meanwhile, here is a picture of the new (and, Ill admit it, pretty) DSi LL:
If it had a higher resolution screen I would buy it....
