Ok, so Nintendo has a press conference going on right now (the time right now is 1;40 am). And they broke some pretty big news. And that news would be a new DS (this isn't just a remake, it's the next DS).
Say hello to the DSi
It comes in two colors (at first).
It'll have a build in SD Card slot as well as a digital cam (two matter of fact).
And now for some info...
Japan release date: November 1st
Price: Around $180 (USD)
~ The screens are about 3 inches larger (if I read it right).
~ Both screens are touchscreens.
~ The sound on it is said to be better.
~ There is no GBA port.
~ It's 12% lighter over the DSLite
~ The camera (I would guess the main one on the front) is 3 megapixels.
~ You're able to download things, sort of like apps on the iPod. It's going to be called "DS Ware" (shocking isn't it?). Some are upgrades and such (you'll have to pay).
~ You're able to download games and keep them on the DSi.
~ You can view photos on it, and you can play songs.
~ The pics you take on the DSi you'll be able to view on the Wii Photo Channel.
~ It'll have a built in web browser.
And here's a chart to compair both the DSLite and DSi
And here's a few links so you can just read it all there (as well as info on Wii stuff... such as being able to download GC games). XD

Gamespot already updated this story and some of your data needs to be revised. Definetely a diferent machine altogether.

Pfff next DS. I still say its just a redesign. An elaborate redesign. But, it is not the DS 2.

No GBA port is kind of disappointing. I guess I'll end up getting a ds lite first then this system later on.

naruto_444:" Well, we'll see how it goes.
SciFiCat: So I've seen. This is what I get for not waiting. XD
Triffy: I know... Like I said on PC, it all depends on if both screens are in fact a touch screen.
-Vulpix-: I'm also going to wait on this one. I got other things to get over a new DS.
Lord_Regnier: I was the same way while the whole event was going on. XD
Primo: But at $180... I don't know, I'll have to see what it can do before getting one.

I'll probably pass; I'm not really interested in the new features and I'm fine with the DS Lite I have now, plus the lack of a GBA slot takes out the backwards compatibility, especially with the Pokemon games (including the upcoming Platinum).
