Need advice...

So?

And there's no point in getting a DSi if you already have a DS. End of story.

This.

Besides, IMO, DSi is for casuals.

It plays the same games. That's your argument, isn't it? If it plays the same games, then how does that make it casual? Sure, there's the camera and everything, but you don't need to be casual to enjoy it. AND there's DSiWare, which, like WiiWare, will have many core games.

Casual core.

Lol, casuals always buy the next best thing even though the they have the same thing. DSi = DSLite 1.5

So you admit that it's different.

Yes, but not that much.

Whoop dee doo! A camera. Your family probably has one you can borrow.
Whoop dee doo! An MP3 player. You probably have an iPod already.
Whoop dee doo! A voice recorder. Go catch tons of Chatots by Sunnyshore.

You can't play games with the camera, can you? No. Plus you can do a whole bunch of cool stuff with your pictures.
An iPod can't do everything DSi Sound can do. Plus, it's a lot nicer to only have to carry around a DSi instead of a DS and iPod.
LOL. Chatter lets you record, like, 2 seconds of sound, and it distorts it on top of that. That's a horrible substitute.

So Mega Man 9 is casual-core?

What's wrong with it?! YOU'RE STEALING!! IT'S THEFT!! Here you are with your (illegal) R4, able to download an play any DS game you want, when the rest of the world has to pay $30 per game. You're ripping off Nintendo and everyone else. Just don't do it. It's WRONG.

I like how you say he's ripping off Nintendo when Nintendo is ripping you all off.

"Let's release the same thing only with more useless crap and less of the core essentials, then release the core essentials as a peripheral and/or addon!"

There's nothing useless about the DSi, and no core essentials were removed. And there are no DSi add-ons.

I don't rent games, either. If I buy it and end up not liking it, oh well. If I really don't want it, I can just give it to someone for their birthday or something. (NEVER sell to GameStop!) Even if I didn't like it, I still get Club Nintendo Coins for it, so it's not a total loss. And you should be able to get a pretty good idea of what the game is like simply by reading reviews and watching gameplay videos. That's what I do.

But you still bought Sonic and the Black Knight even though everyone but Nintendo Power panned that game.

I should've said that differently. I meant that I watch gameplay videos on YouTube. I never listen to reviews. And if it's a franchise that I absolutely love, like Sonic or Zelda, I get the new game no matter what, first day.

and that's why Sega keeps making crap games.
Blasted supporters.

I love Sonic and the Black Knight. If people would actually give it a chance and play it instead of listening to IGN's horribly flawed review, then they'd see that it's actually a good game.

1.It's called Photoshop.
2. So when your DSi gets lost, it's like losing a camera, a gaming software and a voice recorder! Amazing!
3. Can the DSi let you record your voice and play a game at the same time? I don't think so.

Here's the thing.

Your phone most likely has a camera. It can record voice if it has a camera, I'm sure about that. And who knows, maybe it can even play music. I say this because you bought a DSi, surely your rich ass has a nice phone, too.

Can the DSi make phone calls to phones? Oh my God, no.

Can the DSi text message your friends? Oh my God, no.


You're just defending a ploy to wring more money out of the dwindling Nintendo fanbase and out of the casual market.

It removed the GBA slot.

That's pretty essential if you like to play GBA games.

 

[Mimsie]

Screw the DSi and drink a beer...

 

[Toad Kart 64]

Besides the big differences the DSi has from the DS, I have a perfectly good excuse for getting a DSi. I've had the same DS since it came out in 2004, and it's all beat up and scratched up from my cousin's dog trampling over it plus me dropping it a few times.

Lol, IGN this. IGN that. Have you read other reviews?

Most of them gave it a 5 -6 out of 10. Oh wow! 5 is better than 3 so I'll get it now!

Don't keep assuming that all people haven't played Sonic and the Black Knight. I rented that game and watched the intro, played a few minutes of it, took it back to Blockbuster and tried to refund my money.

That's your fault for getting rid of your Game Boy Advanced. You should've kept it.

It's not meant to be a replacement for Photoshop. And Photoshop doesn't have face recognition, does it?
Why would you lose your DSi? What, would you rather have the camera and everything be add-ons? Yeah, that wouldn't get bulky.
Neither can Pok

It ruins the whole "LESS THINGS IN ONE" argument because it's making you lug around another handheld in case you get the urge to play a GBA game.

Then you sir, deserve a DSi.
Unlike Tye who still has a perfectly working DSLite.

I hate phones. I've never had one, nor do I have any intention of getting one. The DSi is a game system, not a cell phone.

And I'm not rich. Far from it.

But it incorporates the camera into gameplay, i.e. WarioWare: Snapped!
