As many of you may have heard, the next iteration of the DS is coming to the U.S. in April. The Nintendo DSi features upgrades such as a larger screen and thinner overall design, dual camera (inward and outward facing), and the ability to access and play music from an standard SD card.
The DSi will also have access to DSiWare, the DSi-only version of WiiWare, available for download in exchange for DSi Points.
Buyers should note, however, that the DSi also loses some features… most notably the ability to play GameBoy Advance games. Consequently, as it drops the GBA port entirely, it also loses compatibility with certain peripheral controllers, like Guitar Hero On Tour’s Guitar Grip. Additionally, according to the official specs for the device, the DSi has a shorter battery life than the DS Lite (3-4 hours on high brightness for DSi vs. 5-8 hours for the Lite), but takes slightly less time to recharge.
The Nintendo DSi will be available April 5, and will retail for $169.99.
