Nintendo DSi LL

[Tyeforce]

wow, nintendo has officially failed.

The idea is the Dsi and DS Lite have been known to break VERY easily,
(i stepped on my DS lite and broke it)
The DS however is near impossible to break
(my 6ft 5 friend has stepped on it FULLY)
I think its to protect the DSi from breakge, i might go buy it.
Worth the money tbh

All of DS systems I've ever had (DS, two DS Lites, and a DSi) have been dropped, stepped on, thrown, you name it, and not one of them ever broke. You have to be pretty violent with it to actually break it.

Eh, I'm waiting until they actually release a new handheld system, or Nintendo comes out with a great line of DSi only games. I wanna keep my GBA slot ='(

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepWhy?

I don't see the point of a bigger DS.
If you like bigger DS's just get the DS Phat.
Theres no point for that huge stylus either.

But the DS Phat has the smallest screen of them all. It's just bulky. The DSi's only so big because it has to fit the bigger screens. And it comes with two styluses, the big pen one that doesn't go into the system, and a normal one that's just a little longer than the original DSi's. There's no reason to hate the DSi XL at all. If you don't want a bigger screen, then don't buy it. No need to bash Nintendo for expanding their audience.

Guess your right, but Ds Phat saves you money if you dont like all those features.

You can't even buy a DS Phat anymore, though.

You know, it's ironic, because I broke my DSphat (the hinges broke because I bent it back to far) but so far my DS lite is fine.

Actually i accidently stepped on my DS lite AND my DS,
My DS lite broke like anything, both screens damaged 1 only works.
I am gonna buy the DSi bluky and give my sister my DSi as a hand-me-down

Well, you'll be waiting for a long time them. Nintendo isn't going to be saying goodbye to the DS and DSi in quite awhile. And I don't know why everyone complains about the lack of a GBA slot. The GBA was outdated five years ago. It's time to move on. If you want to play GBA games still, then keep your GBA or DS.

I think that the next Dsi/ DS w.e
Should have:
(same sorta thing as DSi)
Video recording/Playing
GBA slot which doesnt have the GBA game hanging out (Big flaw with the DS lite IMHO)
The ability to use Live messenger or somit similer
Better internet
Less Backlight options
Less useless channels
More Free channels given to you
The ability to use more than two colours and two layers on Flipnote Hantena

Useless channels and other things PWN. I don't know what you're talking about.

Useless channels take up MY block space for important channels...

If you want a GBA slot without the GBA game sticking out, then you're asking for a bigger system. And Nintendo would never use Live Messenger, nor would Microsoft, one of their rivals, let them.

And why are you asking for less of something?! Why take things away that don't need to be? I personally like all of the different DSi apps. None of them are "useless".

Matter of opionon on the Less side. I think having like 5 different backlight settings is useless...
Plus i said 'One like it'
So that could mean like a DS version (not picto chat, one which went online i meant)

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepkeep your GBA or DS.

If you don't like it, then don't use it. It'd be stupid to just take it away, because a lot of people like all the features and apps of the DSi.

I think Picto chat is usless as it is,
Considering its range, you can just go sit NEXT to the person and talk to them
If they made it so it could link to the internet that would be better...
Also i do think that 5 backlight settings is stupid. I dont ever go past 2-3
And some of the apps you can get ARE useless, like the AC calculator. etc.
I am not saying i dont like the DSi, i think its excellent, but i think they crammed alot of usless things into it

^Duh, we're targeting casual gamers =3

 

[Silently]

Damnit. Why do nintendo care so much about casual players?

Casual games are ruining the idea of gaming. Project Natal is ruining the idea of gaming.
I preferred video games alot more when it was just the hardcore people that played them and when they were made up of buttons and they required skill. The wii remote was ok, it still had buttons and it didn't really require that much physical movement but all this remoteless cr** is depressing in my view.

Why the hell are they trying to get old people involved?

...
I have no idea what the point of what you said was...
What the heck is a "hardcore gamer" anyway...?
And whats wrong with having physical movement involved in video games...
It makes them better!!!!!!!

Someone who plays video games as a primary hobby. They tend to spend large amounts of time playing games, often in excess of two or three hours a day.

Hardcore gamers tend to care less about graphics then casual gamers. While some specialize in a single genre, they typically have fairly diverse taste in games, frequently playing a wide variety of games from different genres. They'll often seek out obscure and older games, based on word of mouth or positive critical reception. Hardcore gamers put good gameplay above all else, and don't mind if a good game has poor (or even nonexistent) graphics, sound, characters and plot.

The stereotypical hardcore gamer is out of shape, and has poor hygene. They spend a lot of their disposable income on video games, consoles, or PC upgrades, and a large percentage of their free time either playing video games or discussing them, online and off. They wear either black clothing, or T-shirts with geeky pop-culture references, often to video games. Their social skills may be sub-par, and they may be less likely than others their age to have many friends, a jobs and a girlfriend/boyfriend. Some of these stereotypes are negative, and they certainly don't apply to all hardcore gamers, but there's a fair amount of truth to them.

People there's nothing negative coming out of this, Nintendo is just giving us more options. It's like giving an apple stand with only red delicious granny smith apples. If you don't like granny smith apples you can still get the red delicious, but there are bound to be people out there who like granny smiths better than red delicious's.

But what if the customers of the Apple Stand were 5 year old children who had an insane obsession with apples, while the far superior Grapefruit and Pomegranate stands are attracting fewer people?
