Also, to everyone on skype. HAH!

I said was going off on how DS is pluralized to DSi and not DSes, and now they're calling the new one the DSi. I feel smart. : D

You get a cookie for that.

Some really neat features in there, though I won't be getting it. Already bought one DS too many. Better than the old redesigns, (SP, Micro, Lite) but just as meh-inducing from me as the rest.

Well unless they have some amazing plans for it I see no purpose. If there's downloadable GBA games or something I might be intrigued, but I have no use for a camera, and slightly wider screens that distort every game.


Also, Pikmin Remake... That better not be what Miyamoto was talking about. : |

Wider screens won't distort games, I do believe they'll just have small black borders.

The main draw is going to be DSiWare, I think... which could very well encompass past portable titles like GB, GameGear, etc...

Then what is the point..? I'm certainly not going to use the stupid camera. Oh, do we know how many megapixels it is yet?

For the new apps, and new, specifically built for DSi games... I think...?

Meh, I'll look into it once my DS Phat finally dies on me.

It looks to me like it's trying to become a portable Wii, and if that's the case I'm totally out. No use in having two consoles they've given up on making decent games for...

How is it a portable Wii... you know... without motion controls?

Given up? Yeah, I think Fire Emblem, Punch-Out, Sin and Punishment 2, and Mario & Luigi 3 want a word with you... not to mention a ton of others.

Motion controls were a gimmick at best. Stylus is about the same amount of innovation.

I'm talking about channels, features no "average" person would care about (Camera, Internet, etc.)

I've never liked Fire Emblem, I have little to no hopes for Punch-Out being any better than wii boxing, Mario & Luigi 3 will likely feel like Mario & Luigi 2, Pikmin 3-- OH WAIT, PIKMIN 1!

I have no idea what Sin and Punishment is. >.>
