Nintendo DSi XL discussion stuff and crap yeah

[Superschlock]

Since Europe and Japan can't have all the fun -- unless, of course, it's a black Nintendo Wii -- the super-sized DSi XL is also due out in the US sometime in Q1 2010, according to a spokesperson speaking with Joystiq. Still no word on price, but we wouldn't be surprised if it parallel the slight markup for the ¥20,000 / US $221 Japanese version. Looks like that smaller-screen version isn't looking so hot for Grandma's Christmas present anymore.

Terribly, terribly, terribly old news.


Like, old as in the school lunch you find from fourth grade in your closet old. Makes you want to hurl.

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

Well damn...It didn't have any threads though, and all the articles were from earlier this month

I know this is off topic, but your avy is sort of awesome

Back on topic, this is another reason why I will never own a DS of any sort. New DSs come out just as often as new Guitar Heroes...

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

Lol thanks

And my plan to get this is to sell my DSi and combine the credits and saved up money from my birthday, I think it sounds really nice! Next is gonna be a DS the size of an PS3

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

Wow...
DS Lite was decent enough...
Then they screwed me up with the DSi
and now this thing? Isn't the reason they made the DS Lite was to make it LESS bulky? And then they bulk it up purposefully?

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

DS Lite is still the best DS model, and nothing is going to change that.

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

Might as well get a PSP, at least the change it in a good way with each version, except the cellphone Go.

Wait...the one to the LEFT is the new DS?

What the fuck is this?

Yep, the left is XL, the right is regular DSi. Thats why I said the PS3 thing

 

[Fagren]

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

I see what they did.They just gave the original DS all of DSI's features.

 

[Superschlock]

Re: Nintendo DSi XL

It's probably larger than the original DS though, no more pockets

At least we get new weapons from Nintendo other than the Gamecube.

 

[Dogenzaka]

I don't really know what's to discuss.
Nintendo wants your money. Again.
And this time, they want your grandpa with cataracts' money, too.

 

[Superschlock]

You can discuss if you plan on getting it or not

And where do they expect that fat-ass stylus to fit into?

 

[Orion]

No, because the thing is fucking pointless and they could have easily made it another more powerful DS that's accessible to all the nintendo gamers. They could have squeezed more pixels into that space, and had a setting to upsize DS games to fit onto the screen, but also for other NDSi XL games to actually utilise the what-could-have-been extra processing and graphical power.

A severely wasted opportunity.

 

[Superschlock]

According to Wikipedia, the reason for the larger screens is mainly attributed to allowing easier play on games that feature small text and precision gameplay. Another reason, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, is "to offer a new play style, where those who are surrounding the game player can also join in one way or the other to the gameplay." It'll also have higher battery power, apparently.

 

[Orion]

They could've easily done a lot better is all I'm saying.
Well, not easily, but this just seems a piss-poor effort on Nintendo's part, even if it is just a grab at money.

 

[Superschlock]

Well yeah, I agree with you on the "could've done better" but I'd rather have that than a regular DSi, for the benefit of longer batteries and bigger screens. I can't imagine it being more than $50 extra, but who knows...
