So Nintendo is releasing the new DS, the DSi, to North America on April 5
The bad news is they took out the GBA cart. Meh, haven't used that thing in forever though. But they added on two cameras and some sound stuff and downloadabe games. Meh, the new features are kinda blah to me, because I rarely use the camera on my cell phone, and i already got an mp3 player, so thanks. But it still looks nifty. Won't be buying it on day one because my DS lite is still awesome, but maybe a few years down the line.
So how many of you dudes are gonna be buying it? Excited?
Oh, and watcha playin on your DS these days?
Right now, i'm playing the new fire emblem game, which is a remake of the original. Its pretty balls awesome.
PS. the wii is still lame
NINTENDO DSI LAUNCHES APRIL 5 IN THE UNITED STATES
New Portable System Offers Customized Gaming Experiences
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 18, 2009 – Nintendo pioneered hand-held entertainment in the '80s and made it fully mobile with the Game Boy™ video game system. Now, Nintendo is transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content with the new Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the world's best-selling portable video game system. Nintendo DSi launches in the United States on April 5, 2009, at an MSRP of $169.99. The colors available at launch will be Blue and Black.
...
Some features that will be built into the system and ready to enjoy upon purchase include the Nintendo DSi Camera, Nintendo DSi Sound and Nintendo DSi Shop. The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system is its two cameras – one camera is on the external body, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system with 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, the Nintendo DSi Camera offers an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games while giving developers a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight.
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWareâ„¢ application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWareâ„¢ has with Nintendo's Wiiâ„¢ console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DSâ„¢ games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system.

I have been saying this since they first came out.
The DS has a ton of great games. If you get a DS Lite you have access to all those great GBA games.
But can it play old-school, black and white gameboy games?

I don't believe it is.
one more thing ill never buy
I like to talk to the ladies about all the things I didn't buy and then hop on my bike and make sports car noises.
Otherwise I'm perfectly content with it
I never got a Lite, I may do so if they drop in price after the DSi comes out.
I had a Phat for a while, but no longer, and I have still not played a DS Pokeman.

So in other words, only Nintendo approved developers with an office address in an industrially-zoned area with a submitted business plan can make games for it.
EDIT: I meant zoned industrial.

No way can I afford one though.
That is to say a rampant piracy machine.
