Premium Edition Ace Attorney DSi

Here's a nice version of the new Nintendo DSi. The Gyakuten Kenji (Ace Attorney) Premium Edition. Too bad it's only available right now in Japan.

DSi-only and DSi-enhanced cards = Goodbye old DS

Previously were always talking about what's good with the new upcoming Nintendo DSi, now here's some bad news; well not really bad news but only for those who already own the original DS or the DSLite. The bad news is that Nintendo announced DSi-only and DSi-enhanced cartridges will be coming out soon. DSi-only means of course those games will only work for the DSi and DSi-enhanced means it will still work with old DS systems but it will have additional functionality with the new DSi. This really sucks because the bottom line here is that to experience those new features you have to shell out some cash. Now to sell that old DS..

Nintendo DSi greatest feature

The slightly larger screens, thinner body, dual cameras and memory card slot is not really the main feature of the new Nintendo DSi, but the DSi Shop. Just like their Wii's WiiWare or PS3's PSN and Xbox360's XBL Marketplace, the best selling handheld will now come with their own online store. This is good news for those looking for other games not available in retail and maybe some DLC's to extend the life of their current game library. But because the DSi is not really a new handheld, it's just like Gameboy Advanced's GBA SP upgrade, I still think it will not appeal that much to current owners of the DSLite. Maybe for casual gamers and some girls hooked to the DS, but for hardcore gamers enjoying their Xbox360/PS3 I think it's a pass. Link to this topic: Nintendo working up "major app strategy" for DSi?
