the 3ds is gonna be so much better, you should have waited for that because the dsi LL is way to pixelated because they didn't improve the screen resolution
This may have already been said, but not all games are region free now in a DSi, Pokémon Black is one example. It doesn't work in my sisters DSi, but at least works in my DS lite. Any cart game that has DSi enhancements is not region free.
I was contemplating getting one of these since I haven't picked up a DS yet, but I just found out that Nintendo is set to showcase their new 3DS at E3. So now I'm not sure, even if the 3D gimmick turns out to be a flop (Again, Virtual Boy anyone?), the price of the old DSes's will drop significantly.
Why does nitendo suck soo bad especially the NDS all series? such crappy graphics worse then playstation 1 and the Nitentendo 64 dating back 1990's what a joke. All games except for the castlevania series rock.
@greenyoshi64 If you're talking about flashcarts, then yes, DSi flashcarts work on the DSi XL. If you're talking about softmods however, you're out of luck.
If you already have a DSi you shouldnt buy this but if you don't and want one go get this one but i think it's to soon to release a new DS it hasnt even been a year since the DSi came out
@xSouthSide13 You are such a jackass! Yes, it is bigger, but the screens are also bigger and the design and graphics are much better and, if you don't like it, you have a serious problem of retardation (no offence).
great video thanks. I am trading in my dsi for the xl. yippie!
Large screens are not just for the older generation. My eye sight is 20/20. I like to have a large TV screen in my lounge and a large dsi in my hand ;-)
hu... man this review defianetly made me want a dsi xl/ll i mean i still was gonna buy it cause im a nintendo collector but i didnt really have the pleasure until i watched this vid thx man i mean 1100 free dsi points who could give that up?
im going to get a clear see through casing on my original dsi and have a 16gb memory card in my acekardi and its going to be the shit. haha my dsi i have right now got chewed on by my dog i hate it now i want one of these in white! and put a invisishield on it!!
The screen increase a bit, which it's good. & i guess the big stylus is really for granny gamers out there & for those ppl who are having a hard time holding the normal stylus(Which i am).
This made me want a DSi LL!! I'm not old, but I'm far-sighted. That huge screen would be awesome, especially since I don't have a DSi yet. Thanks for showing yours off!
I rarely play my DS these days and hadn't really followed the LL. However your review peaked my interest so I may look into it when it gets an EU release.
I gotta say, I'm really starting to like the way DSiLL looks. I wish they would have had colors like that for the DSi when I bought it. Like you said, all they have is the "fun colors". All they had when I bought mine was Black and Blue.
@Poki3 What are you talking about idiot?. I have Japanese games mailed to me aswell. I'm asking why his DSi is Japanese, It really wasn't a question to you, So why annoy me over it?
I want this so bad. I've owned every DS line since it first came out. But I have a question. How do you transfer your old DSi Ware games/pictures/etc to the new DSi LL?
I have a black DSi. Was lucky to win it in a contest.
I find it too skinny and too small. There's not comfortable way for me to hold it so that it's steady, and I can press all the face and shoulder buttons at the same time. I have to take my fingers off the shoulder buttons often. My hands are skinny, but pretty big.
Disappointed with the lack of a GBA slot. Really. I'd like to play some GBA games, but any original GBA owner knows what a pain it is to play without the backlight :/
2 questions for you: Since the resolution on the screen is the same, do you notice that the pixels are too big? Is it noticeable or bothersome?
Also, you probably heard the rumors about a new Nintendo handheld. I had my DS for a half a year, and here I hear that they're making a new one already. Makes me grin :/
Finally, I'm personally not happy with the DS. It's absolutely flooded with every possible variety of puzzle games, and I simply cannot play those for longer periods of time (I get bored) and after a while I just drop the game, since I know that I'll play it for a bit and get bored so I just don't bother. Even great games like Braid, World of Goo and Puzzle Quest fel victim to this, though they made me realize that I should never buy another puzzle game ever again and stick to free flash games.
Finding something that's not a puzzle game and would interest me is hard. The only game I have is Kingdom Hearts, and that's because I'm a HUGE KH fan.
DSi Ware is pretty bad (puzzle games, sudoku games... clocks -_-)
To top if all of, Nintendo does not publish ANY games in Poland, so the only thing in stores are EA and Ubi Soft published games. The Wii and DS are completely dead over here and you have to import everything. Good thing the dollar is still low, and importing is cheep.
Well, there's this game called Castle Of Magic that's available on DSiWare (released on 11/23/09). It's a nice little platformer that you should check out, plus, it's worth only 500 Nintendo Points!
Huh, well I was going to also recommend Henry Hatsworth In The Puzzling Adventure and Giana Sisters DS, but since you say you aren't good at platformers...
Wow, this handheld system looks interesting! My grandmother always played on my Famicom, I'm sure she would love to have one of these. Sadly she passed away. :(
I want one yet i just bought my DSI and with three games i want coming out (Tatsunoko MAG and NMH2) I cant afford the DSILL T-T i always hate it when i upgrade yet then something flashy and new comes and mine becomes obselete
Great review as always. I look forward to your reviews since I got to know your show. I'm sure you started to play TV games in your childhood and I'm quite interested in how you got into it and how your game play has changed after you became an adult.
wow, that looks cool. I held off getting a DS light for a long time, until my DS's touch screen went and died on me. Losing the GBA port is sad though, I have a big archive of GBA games.
When I first heard of the DSi LL, I laughed because of it's primary selling point, but then I started to think like you and figure that the bigger screen will make most of the games look really good! Seeing as I already have a (very nice) black DSi, I won't be getting the LL at launch like I usually do for every other Nintendo console. In fact, I probably won't get it until the MSRP goes down, and even then, I'll get it used. :P

The handheld system is not just a one-trick pony, but it might be unnecessary for those that already have a DSi.
But with older folks getting more and more into video games than ever before, the Nintendo DSi LL will be a wonderful gift for Gran or Papa.
