Nintendo DSi release

The slightly larger DSi screen

Tokyo, October 1, 2008.
Nintendo of Japan announced today that an update to their wildly popular portable game unit, the Nintendo DS, will be available in Japan starting November 1. Enhancements to the new unit, called the DSi, include a larger screen (3.25” instead of 3") a more lithe frame and not one, but TWO 0.3 megapixel (640x480) cameras - one on the inside and one on the outside of the case. The DSi also features an SD memory card slot, making it possible to take pictures with the DSi and then view them on a Nintendo Wii. The DSi features a built-in browser, and it’s possible to download games and keep them on the DSi.
