Last month, Nintendo revealed that its surprise hardware announcement was not a HD Wii as many had speculated, but instead of hanheld and console gaming: The WiiDS (pronounced "weeds"). After some hands-on time with the system, we break down all of the key features and improvements.
- A. Visuals
The graphics will look the same as those on the Wii and DS, which are already basically indistinguishable.
- B. Game Slot
Not compatible with any previous Wii or DS games, the WiiDS uses a proprietary format that only allows you to play downloaded virtual console titles. This will result in no change in Nintendo fans' current gaming habits. (Haha, so true. XD)
- C. Compact Size
The WiiDS is about the same size as the DSi XL but less portable. this means that it swill take up minimal space as it sits unused in your entertainment center.
