Nintendo Wii Reviews

Even more of our money is going to Nintendo, as Gamasutra reports that the Nintendo DS revision – dubbed DSi – has sold over 500,000 units in Japan so far. It was released in the country on November 1 for approximately $180. The revised handheld features a slimmer frame, bigger screens, two cameras, a SD card slot and support for downloadable games.

The Nintendo DSi is the answer to the PSP-3000, the new hardware variant from Sony, and Nintendo is aiming to get the fresh handheld as quickly as possible to the West. The new hardware specifications include not one but two cameras, both with 0.3 megapixel capacities and a larger screen; the whole device is smaller and lighter.

Today’s Nintendo media summit confirmed a lot of rumors, revealed a lot of games, and kinda sorta addressed some key enduring issues. Here’s the greatest hits edition of today’s event, courtesy our pals at GoNintendo.com. - The “new” DS is dubbed the DSi. The DSi contains two cameras, one between the leaves for when the DSi is open and one on the outside for a closed position.

Nintendo has a problem with the Wii. That problem is that you currently can't store and play downloaded games on anything but the consoles limited internal memory. One of the announcements Nintendo made today (which included details on a new DS model) included the fact that you will be able to store and play games using the SD card slot starting in Spring next year. That means that those ...
